Ok I have used Barbed wire on my chaos marines to emphasise they fact they fight in cites a lot.


Things you will need.
Florist Wire (this is really cheap, you can do a whole army with 1 roll, it costs £1.56)
PVA glue
Whatever you use to base
Old paintbrush
Boltgun Metal
Mithril Silver


WARNING, THE WIRE IS SHARP
(ouch!)

1. Grab the Paintbrush and the wire, and reel off a small amount, then start to wrap the wire around the paintbrush.


2. Once happy with the amount, Grab your clippers and clip the wire off the reel leaving it on the paintbrush.
3 Pull the wire off the paintbrush and expand if neccesry, Once done clip off the amount you need for your base. Normally you can do 3 bases on one go.


4. Once based Put a small amount of PVA glue on the base and put the Wire down on it.
5. Grab a good paintbrush and paint it Boltgun metal.
6. Give the wire a light drybrush of Mithril silver.


And you are done, it should take 10 minutes top! You could use this between posts to make barbed wire terrain.

While this is simple it doesn't look like barbed wire to me, and your terminator could use a wash!

it is good but you can do ti better like anoder wier around it

I agree with FragGrenade, that doesn't look like barbed wire.

I think a better way would be to find wire mesh with an appropriate spacing, then cut strips out of it.

There are several ways to do barbed wire, most of which involve wrapping and subsequently clipping multiple wires. Closely clipped wire mesh, like AlexHolker mentioned, is another method that looks pretty good. Whatever method you use, the key to barbed wire is barbs.

This may sound a bit harsh, but don't be discouraged. It's nice that you're trying to offer advice and all, but this is A) painfully simple (as in, "common sense, no tutorial warranted") and B) not very effective, visually. If you kept your coils even and called it a discarded spring I'd believe it, but this just isn't barbed wire. Check out some of the other tutorials floating around, though, if you'd like to improve the look of your models.

Looks like great wreckage and detrius from buildings/cars, but, no barbs. However, on a tabletop, I don't think I'm going to notice tiny barbs wrapped around a paper clip, so I'd call your quick tip good. nice tutorial and good job with the pics, though.
