Most of you will probably be familiar with this tutorial from WHTV.
Now I really liked what Duncan came up with here, but when I tried painting black over the half-dried Martian Ironearth, it really just didn't work. And that got me thinking, there had to be a way to get the black paint on there once it's completely dry. Enter the torn-up makeup sponge of ineffable weathering shortcuts.
So I tried that, and in all honesty, I thought the end result looked better than the WHTV version with the plain black. Which is why I thought it warranted a tutorial video. But be warned that I'm not exactly demonstrating a groundbreaking technique here, just a tweak to an existing tutorial that I thought made it easier and at the same time produced a more interesting result.

I did the WH tutorial for my fire nighthaunt (150 bases worth) and it was pretty easy. Did you use medium with the black to make it almost a wash? Just scoop a bunch on and dab kinda how you did.
I think yours would be better for terrain bases. Would be hard to do with minis id feel on a base as youd need to do it first before painting mini
