Stage by Stage Chimera Paint Job.


One more vehicle down.  The first Chimera of hopefully many.  Having practiced and secured a really good painting system to get them off quick, I should be able to knock out all the other stripped and repurposed vehicles in short order.

The first stage was simply undercoating the model in a layer of Army Painter - Army Green.  Now as I may have stated previously, its a bit minty (thanks for that discription Rory >_<).  So after the coat has been made, add any black on the tracks followed by a liberal (and I mean liberal) layer of Army Painter Strong Tone. 
At this point its all to taste.  I ended up using AP-Strong tone, AP-Soft tone and Aggrax Brown, all to wash down the colour and create a dirtied up affect.

Next up was to edge the well, edges with the paint tone of AP - Army Green, followed by GW Abaddon Black and GW White Scar.  This simulates the inevitable wearing down of the paint down to the priming layer.

Then some Ryza Rust was added in here and there followed by detail on the baggage.

Lens and windows were painted with dull tones like GW Mordian Blue and high lighted before a light Badab wash to add definition.

The tracks were layed over with GW Stirland Mud, applied as mud, splashed up over the rear side and sitting as mud would.  This was then washed in AP: Dark Tone, before being drybrushed with Mechanicus Grey and finally lightly with Bleached Bone.





I've just varnished it with AP: Anti Shine varnish and packed it away.

Now the plan, like my other vehicles, is to add decals and then when I've finally gotten hold of some Pigment Fixer, add some Pigment Powders.

However, next up, I'm returning to the Warzone Ressurection Bahous, to get them ready for some Demo gaming!

Thanks for reading!
