WIP big Necromunda building (pt.10)

Put down subtle drybrushes on the creamy and greenish areas, just for more definition of textures and edges, and to fix a few spots where earlier washes had been too thick. Then I added loads of nice thin terracotta wash I had made for some earlier project, and had half a bottle left. Coloured/stained the edges of creamy areas, and added rusty stains to other spots.

The consistency of this wash was awesome, but I have absolutely no idea what I had put into it. Most likely there's different brown, yellow and orange washes and paints, some kitchen washing liquid to break the surface tension, and propably Typhus Corrosion technical paint, because there were similiar little texture particles in this bottle. Sprayed some clean water (yuck...) around to better blend the terracotta wash in, and to help it run down and make nice puddles.



Next up will be again more washes... Nice DIY ochra wash leftovers from the same old project as the terracotta wash I already used. And dirty paint waters. I really cannot emphasize their importance enough. The most crucial thing when "painting" miniatures and terrain.

After these washes and maybe subtle grey drybrushes on some details and edges, I'm really struggling whether to also add some rusty metal spots. Dark brown/orange/metal sponged on areas such as ladders and a couple of edges that might have took some wear and tear? I'm trying to keep the overall appearance of these buildings kind of dull and monotone dirty grey, so am a bit hesitant about adding many more different colours in to the pallette, especially bright rusty oranges and silvers. This is because I don't want to draw too much attention to the terrain when playing games, as the miniatures should be the most prevalent thing on the table. Then again it would be a lot easier to spot all the ladders from the buildings if they were completely of a different colour than the walls. Hmm...
