Hey guys,

I really don't have a good pic to show you the end result, but if you are looking for ways to paint their ammo bags, here is a video on how I do it.





Cheers and enjoy!

I prefer a darker color on my bags. I go with usually 2 coats of Bestial Brown and an edge highlight of Snakebite Leather. It is less labor intensive, and has a darker look than yours. But still a good technique.

Good looking Crimson Fist. I like the detail you put into the bag. I go simple, do a black base coat, then depending on the character or the unit, the bag will either be a ruddy leather with a brown leather wash, or I'll use uniform brown with the brown leather wash. It's simple but effective, however it does not look nearly as good as yours.

Wow, that bag looks stunning, beats by brown with a black wash any day lol. Consider this person enlightened

I wish there were more threads like this one and fewer threads about stupid things normal people don't have the time or resources to replicate themselves.

Props.

Awesome. I don't have a lot of ammo bags for my Marines yet (because most of mine are inherited or AoBR models) but this will be very good to know for some of the other units I start creating. I bet this would work great for IG too. Thanks!

I'm thinking this would probably work well for SM bike saddles too, I'm getting a Ravenwing Battleforce in a few days so I'll let you know

Thanks guys for the comments. It absolutely will work on saddlebags and also the seats too! I painted a chaplain on a bike and that exact colour scheme was used on the seat. looked cool Good luck and share your results!

Thanks for the comments guys, it also works on bike seats or any kind of bag really. Cheers!

Hey thaks a lot I had ago at using it on my space marine and looks highly effictive.

great tutorial. I really like how you explain the technique prior to doing it to the model. Helps it sink in a little more. Keep up the awesome work.

Thanks guys, Hazzer, cool effect on the straps! Thanks for sharing,
