I'm looking for some help painting my vehicles to the Iron Warrior paint style. Can any one help?

Basecoat Boltgun metal. Wash with Badab Black. Drybrush Boltgun Metal.

That's a more simple style, of course. But it sure does work. For the hazard stripes (which can be pretty complicated), I use Iyanden Darksun which I then paint with Sunburst Yellow.

nice thanks guys

For the hazard stripes, highly recommend getting some of the tamiya hobby tape to mask the black parts. It will make your life a lot easier.

Black, with boltgun metal.

I reccomend taking plasticard and adding edging on it if you still have a chance (Look over in the pics I posted via my profile for my conversion)

and then remember to add hazard stripes and paint the edging in a brass/gold whatever you did for your army

Here's my Vindicator:


Over a black undercoat: Boltgun Metal with Badab Black in the recesses, with a Chainmail drybrush. Caution stripes are Iyanden Darksun with Sunburst Yellow over that. I used masking tape to get the stripes straight. I avoid washing vehicles as it leads to unsightly pooling, but this could be remedied with an airbrush.

Mayby more striping?
