Hey folks.
I'm just about to attempt to add some rust style colour onto my Nurgle guys armour.
Can anyone give me the best base & high light colours to add to it to make it look good.
I was thinking something along the lines of a base coat of bestial brown with a light highlight of either Tin Bitz or Brazen Brass.....
Any thoughts would be much appreciated....
Cheers.

I have always thought that rust would be much easier to do with dry pigment powders, like the stuff the forgeworld and a few other companies make. I am not really sure how to do it with just normal paints though....

I can heartily recommend MIG pigments for doing rust. I've done a few Nurgle marines with weapons rusted with dark rust and light rust and it looks great without a lot of work.
With paint I've done small areas with bestial brown highlighted with orange which looked ok. My current plague marines have a coat of tin bitz on the metal as that's a nice dark metallic colour but I plan to go over that with pigments.

Can I suggest skipping forward 10 years to the age where you don't really care about what people say on the internet. Studies show that it decreases your anger about life in general by 37%. - Flashman |

use the search feature, there are at least a million topics on how to get realistic rust effects.

Tin bitz with a light drybrush of blazing orange on top looks pretty good and is really simple.
