Hello everyone,

I've been inspired by all this PH World Eaters stuff at Games Day UK. So I decided to paint up a World Eaters Contemptor. Im looking to recreate this picture
Weathering, and color scheme and all, how am i to attempt this?

All ideas welcome
thanks

Regular body and two kheres assault cannons. Cut the slashes on his leg with a hobby knife, other chips paint an area black, then fill in all but the edge with a silver

And you can drill the bullet holes

Thanks for the input.
But how would i recreate that dirty white?

**TheAngrySquig**

Maybe a base of screaming skull then layer white scar then hit with devlan mud? I would try that on a test model

**A Kvlt Ghost**

Screaming skull is too yellow - you'll want rakarth flesh and pallid wytch flesh (PWF is an amazing off-white, almost exactly like the colour in that picture)

Any washes to suggest? or im thinking using a sponge to sponge on some brown/dark red weathering

**A Kvlt Ghost**

Agrax and sepia for the washes would probably be the most useful, but I'd also give Secret Weapon's wash line a look over in case something there really stands out.

You'll definitely want to do sponge weathering for the dark rust, yes - that looks like scorched brown and dark flesh, the same way FW did rust on one of the tanks in their masterclass book.

Thanks I feel like forge world masterclass would be good thing to look through. How would i do the metal?

**TheAngrySquig**

Ironbreaker is pretty good for metal

**chainsword135**

It seems to be like a silverish, gold though. on the assault cannons and kneepads

**TheAngrySquig**

I think thats just rusting, not gold
