Ouch!

Yes, it's supposed to be a mix of rust and mud. Mostly mud around the tracks and the hull around the tracks. This is the first tank, and the first serious amount of freehand, I've done in several years. By the time I get to the end of the army, and the next two or three rhinos and one defiler, my brush control will be better! I know the pools of stuff at the top don't look quite right. It was supposed to be mud and filth from where the crew tramp in and out.

I really like the mud or dirt effect, looks natural! I agreed with Phil about the brownish spot, it doesn`t look like anything.

Here's the near final pictures of the thirty warriors. I'll need to do some more work on the bases at some point, but for the moment I'm calling them done and moving on to other parts of the project.

Wow that's amazingly quick progress and to a good standard, i need to catch up !

indeed, you are fast with your army but, I think they lack some flashy bits which would make them look from a distance. I'd suggest to be more bold with contrast and highlights, these lookg good on tabletop minis.
anyway, waiting for further progress, it's a nice tale

Work in Progress shot of Daemon Prince. I'll probably take at least a week over him. The blending of metallic armor and red flesh is an interesting challenge.

Looking good so far, are you going to wash the wings to blend in the highlights?

Too soon for that. I'll be working it right up to a yellow first. I'll smooth out the blends with more blends.

I know I have more work to do on him, but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go with him. I need to do some more work on the sword, but after that? The mix of metallic and red on the legs is not working, but it was an experiment, so I was ready for it not to work. I don't want to put too much more effort into the wings, but I will if I have to.
