I have been looking to get some rust effect for my Necrons. I really enjoy the look of the product called "rust effect" but it's alcohol based, can damage the other paint, and can get messed up with washes/clear coats.

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a rust effect paint that looked similar/good that was water based and would not have the same pretty bad side effects.

Thanks!


These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

I'm not aware of specific products to do it right out the bottle, but rust effects are a pretty straightforward one to achieve.

You can get a solid efect with a mix of stippling in brown and orange, and using a watered down orange to sit in the cracks and edges, and dragged down into streaks.

Vallejo makes a water based rust like wash that is quite nice, though doesn't necessarily have the texture and full effect of pigment washes.

I use Mig - I have all 3 of their rust colours.
I'n the past I have also made my own from grinding up chalk pastels which is a really cheap way of trying pigments. I used that method here (the rust on the base):

For watery rust I use watered down Ryza Rust from Citadel. Kenny from Next Level Painting has a good tutorial using it up on youtube if you want to do a little digging.
