Games Workshop - Citadel Colour Base: Mournfang Brown (12ml) Paint

Product Information

In our How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at different armies of the Warhammer universe, examine their history and heraldry, and look at several different methods for painting them. With Halloween fast approaching, we’re looking at how to paint the spookiest monsters around. In today’s HTPE, we’re looking at how to paint the teen heartthrobs of the monster universe, werewolves Teen Wolf stars a young Michael J Fox coping with being a werewolf in high school. It rules, mostly because it involves a werewolf playing basketball. Imperial Guard: Mournfang Brown is a great color to use for painting the tanks and artillery of the Imperial Guard. Its neutral tone can be used as a base for creating a variety of different camouflage patterns, and it works well for creating the weathered, battle-worn appearance of Imperial Guard vehicles and equipment.

You thought shaking your can of Retributor Armour or Leadbelcher spray was bad? This stuff is a thousand times worse. Let’s take a look at each paint, including this handy reference chart with similar existing Citadel Colours, all hand-painted over grey primed plasticard and photographed under a neutral 5500K light source: Mephiston Red: This intense red color can be used as a complement to Mournfang Brown to create a powerful and startling contrast. The Mournfang Brown and Mephiston Red could be used combined to create a sense of danger or hostility, with the Mournfang Brown suggesting heavy machinery or armor and the Mephiston Red indicating flames or warning signs.Apply a good layer of the Dirty Down’s Rust Water Soluble Paint to all the areas of your model or miniature that you want to look rusty. coat d'arms match the OLD citadel colours so there might be some difference. Shining gold has the most noticeable difference,

Leave the model for around half an hour, and when you return to it you’ll see the area you applied water to will have gone quite yellow and will have left a very dark edge around any raised detail. You can see this on the front of the helmet in the image below. Get your loved-ones, housemates, co-habitors, neighbours and anyone who happens to walk by to give it a shake to. When your arms are all no longer responding to commands from your brain, you can stop shaking it and move on to Step 2. Step 3 – Apply All Over Here are our two completed models from the FauxHammer.com Method. First, the storage container that we’ve already seen… Zamesi Desert– Air Paint: This light grey color is a great choice for creating highlights and adding depth to the Mournfang Brown base coat. It can be used to create a variety of different effects, such as weathering and highlighting, and it can be used to create a sense of contrast and depth in your miniature painting. So, taking all that we learned from @gobble_inz and applying some of that signature FauxHammer corner cutting and hobby cheating charm, this is the method we came up with for painting rust using Dirty Down’s incredible Rust Water Soluble Paint. Step 1 – Priming

Unleash the Beast Within

The Orks: The brutal and anarchic Orks are always looking for a fight, and their armies are filled with crudely-made but heavily-armed soldiers, vehicles, and machinery. Mournfang Brown would be a perfect fit for the Ork aesthetic, adding a rough and dirty look to their armor, guns, and tanks. It could also be used to create a sense of rust and decay on their machinery, fitting with their penchant for cobbling together their weapons and vehicles from whatever scraps they can find. Whilst this might sound like something you’d expect to receive a lecture on whilst doing a Biology degree, our second way of using Dirty Down’s Rust Water Soluble Paint requires some different products to the first. Namely, Mournfang Brown or Typhus Corrosion. In the end, this model came out with an almost ‘comic book’ style to it thanks to the highlights and shading, and really sold the idea I was going for of wolf-like, or at least animalistic, color patterns combined with a dark human skin-tone. Typhus Corrosion is designed to be used as a rust effect itself, and is commonly used by painters to add rust-like weathering to models . If you want a more extreme texture, you could always try using something like Agrellan Earth or Agrellan Badland Step 4 – Brown Like most things that have gone rusty, there’s a good chance that whatever it is you’re painting will have once upon a time sported a colour that wasn’t just rusty orange-brown.

It can be used to create a sense of depth and contrast, and it can also be used to create a variety of different effects, such as weathering and highlighting. My method does not use an airbrush, as I don’t own one, so all of this tutorial can be replicated by hand. Also, non-GW paints are fairly uncommon in my area, so aside from my primer and the metallic silver, all of the paints used on this model are Citadel paints. If you have Vallejo in your area (or Army Painter, etc.) or just prefer to use non-GW paints, many of these colors are easily replaced using color comparison charts like this one.

Grey Straps: Basecoat VMC London Grey. Then realize that’s way lighter than you want the straps to be and throw Nuln Oil and Basilicanum Grey at the problem until they’re sufficiently dark. Mix white or light grey into the basecoat for an edge highlight.
