After letting the base coat dry I gave the models a wash using the Devlan Mud wash from Games Workshop.
This has really bought out the detail and added shading.

Killa Kan basecoat
Having given my Killa Kans a double undercoat, the next stage was the base coat. For this I used a Humbrol brown spray.
I purposely didn’t spray from underneath to leave a shadow with the black paint.
The other one.
And another one.
Defending Fort Pain
At GamesDay 2008 there was a wonderful display of the defence of Fort Pain. It involved the unearthing of an Eldar Warpgate by Imperial xenoarchaeologists.
Undercoating the Skyshield Landing Pad
Before basecoating my Skyshield Landing Pad I gave it a white undercoat.
Shadows on the Killa Kans
Having given the Killa Kans a white undercoat, the next stage was to add shadows by spraying a black paint undercoat underneath the model.
The aim of this was that when I painted the base coat on to the models the black undercoat would “catch” any part of the base coat spray that missed and add shadows to the model.
I did add a little more black spray to the rear for the engines.
Grot Bomb Launcha
Having done the double undercoat I started the basecoat on the Grot Bomb Launcha.

Undercoating the Killa Kans
I wanted to use a two colour undercoat for the Killa Kans. The first was a complete white undercoat.
This I hope will allow the base coat to adhere to the plastic model. The white really does bring out the detail in these models (compare to the plain plastic pictures).
This is the Killa Kan with the Rokkit Launcha and here is the rear view.
This is the Killa Kan with the Grotzooka.
This is the Killa Kan with Skorcha.

Texturising the Blastscape
I decided to add some texture to the blastscapes. I mixed some polyfilla, white glue, sand and water. This was then brushed liberally over the blastscapes. These photographs were taken when they were wet.
