Tutorial: Painting Warcry Ruins
Posted: 30. 09. 2020.

This month's step-by-step covers painting of plastic ruin scenery for the popular GW game Warcry. I've painted this kit several times, both for my own table and as commissions. It's always been a fantastic backdrop for games and photos alike. Check the Gallery for a few examples.
Let's get into the tutorial.















That's all until next time. Hope you find it helpful!

Brilliant, your tutorials are always excellent references. Thank you!
Thanks Gavroche and Viktor!
I’ve been looking forward to this after you announced it a few weeks back. I’m a big fan of typhus corrosion as a grime layer! The logical order you put it in and the clarity of the instructions is incredibly helpful - I’ve just bought some of the terrain and was waiting for this before getting started. Wondering if you have come across True Earth weathering powders and paints? A bit extravagant- but great for finishing touches and Rust / corrosion focal points.
@Razorbug - Thank you! I haven’t heard of True Earth, looks interesting. I prefer to keep most of my painting products water-based, so this looks like something I may try.
Very interesting and inspiring tutorial!
@The Golem - Thank you!
Tis a dream come true !
Thanks! Very thorough tutorial with a great effect. Love the little pictures of tools used.
Thanks @Chugasaurus and @potsiat!
Thanks Ana for posting the tutorial, I’ve been admiring your terrain for some time now and using it in my own project mood board. So I got myself some craft acrylics and some sponge and a piece of the Warcry ruins to try it out… The result lacks the “Ana magick”, I think the main problem was that even when super-diluted, my grey ‘glaze’ overpowered the zenithal undercoat. I’m going to have another go, using Medium rather than water to create a thinner glaze that should cover better. My instinct is to dry-brush as well, but I’m going to persevere with the sponge! A video would really help, don’t give up on it
A video would definitely be better than a written tutorial, but it demands its own skills and resources. Who knows, maybe one day.
That is a super clear & handy tutorial
