Washing and detailing

Having washed my other Wartrakk, I did the same for another Wartrakk I am painting.

Having finished the base coat of Vomit Brown, I gave the Wartrakk a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down. I also painted the Ork glyph on the front, which is from the Orc Warriors shield sprues.

This Wartrakk has been converted with new tracks as well as some other added features.

Washing my Wartrakk

Having washed my Looted Rhino I am using the same process on my Ork Wartrakk.

Having finished the base coat of Desert Yellow, I gave the Wartrakk a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.

This is a quick and simple way of accentuating the detail and adding shadows.

Undercoating the Wartrakk

This is how I undercoated my Ork Wartrakk.

Some people use black undercoats when painting vehicles and some use white. For some of my Ork vehicles I use both! A white undercoat for the bodywork, to enable me to use lighter colours or reds and then black for the mechanisms and other metallic and rubbery parts.

The model was built with the crew left off for painting separately. The Big Shoota stayed with the gunner. I used some of the Ork glyphs from Forge World, I would have preferred if the glyphs were cast in a similart vein to the Inquisitor purity seals, but they’re not, they have quite a thick backing.
