| Post subject: | Painting Goblin Armour |
Hi im looking for some advice on painting moria goblin armour, I have tried a few methods but it always ends up looking to shiny for my tastes. Im trying for something like the 'Eavy Metal Team' shown on the back of the box. I have tried the combinations of boltgun metal and tin bitz but it always looks to metalic and shiny. I have tried black ink, chaos black wash and chaos black drybrush but to me none of them look right. If anyone can suggest something it would be much appreciated. |

Hi, and welcome to the One-Ring  For dark or rusty armour of Orcs or Goblins, or any other evil brand of Middle-earthlings, I usually apply wash in the end with a 50/50-mix of black ink and scorched brown paint, well watered down this gives a nice 'rusty' look on the armour. The Scorched Brown in that mix makes sure the rusty parts don't shine too much aswell... Hope it helps

For mine I simply painted the armour Tin Blitz and then drybrushed it Chaos Black. Not the best finish but very fast which is useful when you're painting a horde of Goblins. |

Thanks for all the ideas I tried them out on a few old random models I base coated but didnt finish, I liked the finish from TheBucklandBrewer method but thought it looked a little too brown. I decided to replace the brown with chaos black giving me a nice dark look but not shiny like when I used the ink on its own. Thanks for the help and its nice to see such a friendly community

I do model tanks as well, and when painting the tracks, you can use the following method for a more rusty effect than starting with tin bitz. Start with a black undercoat, then drybrush it with your rust colour, which should be flat, not metallic. then drybrush it in silver. this is a techniwque for getting a more weathered effect, and you can, if you have a lot of time, go into a lot more detail - using oil paints, rust powders, or pigment powers... but that is a bit much for wargaming. When I do orcs, one thing I like to do is mix some rust powder (just find something rusty and rub it with steel wool to get a powder) together with some varnish and then paint it on in a few of the crevices and as streaks of rust. If you do this, be careful not to do too much, less is more. |

You have a few options but to throw another into the mix. Basecoat with a mix of Bestial Brown and Boltgun Metal and increase the Boltgun Metal to pure. The very edges and highest points highlight sparsly with Mithril Silver and complete with a Badab Black Devlan Mud wash to create the shading |

Hope it helps p.s welcome to the OR I thought that this method was ridiculous (after all, surely the rust would be on the parts that are NOT picked up by dry-brushing, i.e. those parts most likely to be rubbed rustless); however, I tried it and it looks great. So, if it looks right, it is right

I always give my goblin armour a thin line of boltgun metal, and than i heavily drybrush the armour with scorched brown. And it works fine. |

I know you have a bunch already but heres one more for good measure  I start mine with a heavy Drybrush of Tin Bitz (Over a Black undercoat). I then do a slightly lighter drybrush with a 50/50 mix of Tin Bitz & Chainmail followed by a very light drybrush of just Chainmail. I finish it off with a wash of Gryphonne Sepia. I have no pics right now but I think they look rad! Cheers! |
