How do you make that really cool brownish rustlike colour?

rust-brown (or all variations of brown, fo rthat matter) is actually a very dark form of red-orange. You could make it right from red and orange and black, or try mixing red, blue and yellow together, with jsut a bit more red (trust me, it really works).

Sweet thanks, im thinking of making a wash with some of that, maybe some boltgunmetal or dwarvern bronze and mixing with alot of water, and then brush on generously

I use scorched brown for a base, then a 1/1 brown/firey orange mix, then a straight firey orange.

I used it on the metal bits on the base of my CC Dread, and my nitty Gritty Predator.

I didnt use a wash, I stippled it on.

If you wanted to check the effect, look at my P&M blog - here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/244402.page.
Post pics of your rusty stuff once you get some done!

vallejo dark elf flesh for me, as the base.

Dakr flesh then orange stippled on -

Heres my most recent version of my rust. I just use orange (I guess in citadel its blazing orange?) and dry brush it on the parts, then while its wet, I swipe my finger across it and basically wipe it off some. This works really well as it not only leaves rust color, but also makes the metal look worn. Then I use a black wash. I still need to re highlight as these are wips but you get the general idea anyways

@KingCracker: it looks real nice. I think I want to try this method

That the same method you used for counts as Ghazghull model KingCracker?

orange rust weatrhing powder from forge world

Red oxide paint and a bit of orange.

Awhile back someone posted a thread where he had painted some really nice rust effects on the weapons. After a few people questioned him about it he did a quick how to guide that was really good. Anyone happen to remember who did that or where the post is now days?

Exaclty what it stripleling ?

Its spelt "Stippling" and according to GW's marketing for their special purpose brush... Stippling is a method of painting where you load the brush with paint and then apply it to the model in gentle 'stabbing' motions. This creates a light, dusty, effect on the figure perfect for rust and weathering.

Found it!!! i think...

Flesh wash, apply, then blotch with your finger.... or whatever GW's new "Flesh Wash" is.... I think it's something to do with ogryns

Wow. You're good! That's the exact post I was thinking of, thanks man!

Dark flesh overbrush followed by a blazing orange drybrush should do the job...

Daedalusaf - Well its pretty simple to use. Just follow my steps and youll get it in no time.

Buttlerthepug - Its pretty much the same technique on the rusty parts. I just didnt use a black wash and a rehighlight on it like I WILL do on those guys up there.
