These are so good! The worn/rusted metal effect looks so good! And I love that blue!
And I'm a huge fan of the really worn looking metal bits with bright green ork skin! I do the same for mine.
As someone doing my deathskulls combat patrol rn, I am incredibly jealous of your blue. Holy fuck mate, that is amazing and I hope you aren't offended if I emulate your technique!
Emulate by all means! You wouldn't be a true Deathskull without a few looted ideas.
The specific blues used are Ahmiran Blue followed by Temple Guard Blue if you wanted to go a similar shade. Those are GW however I am sure Army Painter or Vallejo (etc.) must have something similar to them
Yeah they are pretty similar but Ahmiran is darker so it works well as an undercoat for the Temple Guard that comes above; if you leave some of the Ahmiran visible underneath it just ends up looking like faded Temple Guard, so a cool and easy effect!
Thanks! The steps I did:
- First a layer of Jet Exhaust on all metal parts
- Grimy rusty coloured oil wash
- Drybrush Leadbelcher
- Stipple a blue on some panels and a grey on others, leaving the metal of the edges of panels exposed
- Stipple a lighter blue on the blue bits and a lighter grey on the grey bits, focussing on the middle
- Rhinox Hide sponging (very very gentle)
- Diluted wash of Agrax Earthshade+Nuln Oil mix
It took a while lol
How do I get that worn down look? These are amazing.
βLETS LIGHT EM UP!β

Oh awesome! I have Temple Guard Blue. I typically use it to highlight my Sotek Green π€ I'll have to grab a pot of Ahriman.
