For everyone asking about varnish over the pigment powder-I personally don't use any varnish to set it, I don't like how it changes the effect/look of the powder so I'm just careful where I apply it so it's not where I handle the model/terrain for gaming etc!
@@ThaDenz69 do not varnish it, it will change pigment properties. You can use AMMOMIG's enamel fixer. Use it BEFORE applying the pigments, then sprinke some over it. It will be mostly powdery once it dries.
@@ThaDenz69 Air brush thinner works fine. Personally I apply powder, fix it, and then wait for it to dry completely before adding more as needed as fixing darkens the effect. Don't fix the second pass. It always falls off to some degree unfixed, even just as a display piece.
@@glease3144 I've used that on paper. But does it do anything to the paint? Can you paint over it if you wanted to paint more highlights after that fact?
I think I’ve figured out what makes your videos so great. It seems you’re really landing the 80/20 rule, where you’re doing the 20% of the work that’s giving 80% of the results. Because your way always comes across as uncomplicated and achievable, and not tedious, while still producing amazing results. And though I’m inspired by many painting channels, yours is one of very few I would actually use as a reference before/while painting. Keep up the great work! 👏👍
You hit it right on the head. Same here, very inspired by other channels, but this one is the one I actually use as reference! On a random note, I just started painting the Octarius KT terrain set and surprise, I happened to do the exact same steps in the beginning; Chaos black, bronze, leadbelcher and contrast on top (speed paint in this case). Amazing channel!
tbh this is the best way to get most of the terrain done. I am planning on painting more details but I really like how the first 3 steps already makes this look better than most of the sloppy quick terrain jobs you see all over youtuve
Quick, easy and effective, I have just bought the Boarding Actions set and will deffo be using this method, also ordered the handful of paints I am missing to do this
Thanks for the inspiration and motivation. Finally painted my set over the weekend after about a year in a gray pile in a box under my desk. Keep it up my dude! ❤
Just got the boarding action box and I can’t wait to try this scheme out. Been trying contrast a lot more and I love your approach to make it quick and painless. Thank you.
This is a great quick and dirty scheme. It's not dirty at all actually, besides the rusty aesthetic. It looks like it had way more effort put into it then you really did. Thanks for this. I've never painted scenery before and this is gonna be a big help when I take that plunge.
Awesome. I have the two boxes worth already taped up and ready to go. Bought myself an airbrush kit. 200ml of black primer, but only have one small pot of warplock bronze in my arsenal. I’m thinking at least another one for the whole paint job. Some more leadbelcher too. I’ll probably be a bit more choosy about the additional bits. Maybe do every other bulk head with more colour. At least for now. As for the rust effect. Love it. But might be a step too far considering the amount I need to do. But love the overall look and effect. Great job as always.
Just been sent over by the guys a Tabletop Tactics, shouting you out in their livestream yesterday! I’ve been looking for a quick and efficient way to paint my Boarding Actions terrain, that still looks good. This is looks amazing and really simple, can’t wait to try it this weekend!!!
Haha I was watching that livestream as I was working and it was quite a shock to hear my name!! Hope you enjoy the terrain painting, and playing Boarding Actions too! Thanks for watching!
@@MediocreHobbiesI finished my BA box, using your technique. It looks amazing so far. Just some Dirty Down Rust to add before varnishing. Get loads of positive comments. Thank you for the video 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I dont have a way of uploading these to show you but I followed this guide to make my entire into the dark terrain and I am so happy with how it has come out! thank you so much for this amazing content I love watching your videos, I am planning to do my gellerpox using your guide next :)
Convinced my friends to chip in for the Into the Dark box when Amazon was having it for $120. I'm definitely going to be using this method for the walls!
This was seriously impressive. I might, and I say might because I'm still just getting into things, do the individual pipes, but that's mainly habit, as at least wet Navy ships have all their pipes color coded so you know what they're carrying.
@@MediocreHobbies I thought I was awesome. Honestly I use painting as a relaxation, and meditation exercise, as well as a time sink. You've got a lot more going on than I do 😀
Looks awesome, I really want to paint up my Necromunda Dark Rising scenery now. Everytime I watch one of your videos I am inspired to get my behind to the painting desk. Keep up the great work 😃
I am that crazy person. Im painting the entire lot to a high standard. For me, its amazing looking terrain that is going to get used an absolute tonne so its worth taking the extra time to make em look amazing
This is the best quick painting terrain video I’ve even seen. That being said, I have no idea where the time goes when I’m painting. Even when I’m on a roll it takes hours to paint one side of a wall 😑
Hey Andy think I'm going to pick up the into the dark boxset today and follow your guide for all models, maybe skipping the layering as I like a simple battle ready paintjob :D. Thank you again, best warhammer channel on yt for me.
Love how you have painted this terrain, I am going to follow suit .. I have three boxsets with this terrain in them, think it will all look just awesome with this colour scheme, ps, love your channel 🤩
Fantastic quick paint job. I was thinking of doing a verdigris on my set and It did get me thinking, would a derelict space hulk show any form of oxidation as their probably hasn't been any oxygen in it for a long time.
They can run off a little bit. Some People do indeed seal them in with varnish but not a fan of the result never heard of the hairspray technique. I just try it.
Only thing I'd change is hit that skull with white and then skeleton horde. Maybe use Dirty Down Rust a bit more precisely than the powder if I wanted to spend a little more time.
Yeah you could definitely pick out things like the skulls for sure! That stuff is great for rust but yeah will take a little bit more time, will give a great result though!
I'm totally going to use this to paint my terrian. The only thing I may add is I think some of the skulls are acatual skulls and I may paint them as such. Other than that i'm set to start on mine this week. At least putting them together! Just finished up with my last Ork Snagga boy so that set is done and i can move on! :)
Looking good as always my dude. I always used Balthazar Gold as my basecoat before drybrushing in silver, but I can see the bronze gives a warmer feel to the finished piece as opposed to just a dirty rusty feel (which you achieved with those pigments really well... Pay day tomorrow and I'm very tempted to order some and have a dabble with them!) Three thumbs up from me!
I think I would do one thing different: I would do some extra work on the doors! Not to make them looking more fancy than the rest, but to make them stand out. Some sort of faded "signal" colour. That would be both thematically potentially fitting, but more importantly, it would aid in game play by making the doors easily identifiable :-)
Can u ask what the signal could wour reference? I'm about to start painting mine but have never played yet. So if I could do that in a way that helps I'd love to understand that better. Thanks!
Just painted mine with this scheme, only changes were to areas like tires on some small bits using black templar and the military crates being death korps drab.
Great and this is how i paint terrain. Get everything painted to a nice level fast. Especially if you like me happened to buy 2 bix boxes of GW terrain, Or 2 big bundle boxes of good MDF terrain. When everything is painted to "that level". You can always come back to it later and paint the details, especially with the higly detailed GW terrain. great video for beginners or those who look at their unpainted terrain and only see hours of painting waiting for them! =)
This is just what i needed! As for the rust pigment, won't they just fall off again if not sealed ? Im thinking of doing mine like this, but put a quick wash of agrax earthshade over and then the final pigment highlight.
This is awesome, thank you! I am just embarking upon painting up my AoO Boarding Actions set and this video helps to focus the pathway forward (with my personal touches added!). Q: I have not used the weathering powders before such as the red and orange rust applied in this video. Do you have to apply some matt spray to fix it into place so it doesn't rub off or does it cure well on its own?
Pretty nervous about using weathering powders, I hear they can be fairly messy unless you seal them but regardless I think your guide looks the quickest and best on TH-cam for this so I’ll be giving it a go this weekend. Thanks for the video!
Amazing timing for youtube to show this video. I've got a bunch of terrain (including Gallowdark) that needs painting up. I'll definitely be using this as a guy then adding a few little touches like light glow just for that little bit more. Do you recall how many pots of Bronze and leadbelcher you went through for the Gallowdark box of terrain?
Going to be painting my first bit of terrain using your video as my guide! Just wondering, with the weathering powder, how does it stick to the terrain? Do I need to use a sealant or something to keep it on there?
I really like your scheme for this terrain, do you think it would work for the new boarding actions terrain as well? I assume so, but would you do them any differently?
I personally don’t use varnish over weathering powders, I don’t like how it changes the effect of them. I just avoid using powders where I will be handling the models for gaming etc. there is some residue that comes off but not as much as you’d think and you just need to be aware of it and not put it next to anything you don’t want to get pigment on!
Hi, great video. Can I ask, did you spray the terrain with the doors in place? Did this affect the hinges? Going to follow your technique as it seems so quick and results look great.
Looks Good! From my experiences, for terrain pieces that get quite a bit of use I end up having to use a binder or fixer for pigments. I would end up with quite the mess when I ignored fixing them down. I recommend Vallejo Pigment binder which has been ace for me at the job.
I haven’t tried that stuff, I avoid varnish because it changes how the powder looks, how does the binder work? Will have a look into it but I usually don’t have much issues, even with terrain!
had a similar idea, although my plan is to just prime with lead belcher, brown or black wash, then pick out a few pipes/light/points of interest for some colour
one of the people in my local hobby shop, told me that the grove that is going up on the side bit if you chope it off the bit going up ,so its flat like the rest of them it is will stay togeather with out it and is easier to set up the other games that are in the boxs hope this will help
Is there a particular way to add those powders? Your video has made me go out and order some, but I’m unsure how to apply them. Do I just slap them on like in your video?
I’d give this a go if I already hadn’t started a different technique. Looks very fast & effective. I assume you used a satin varnish to lock in the pigment powders & keep the metallics from looking dull (like a matte varnish would).
I don’t use varnish over pigment powder! It changes the look of them and I prefer just being careful with them instead! The pigment is at the bottom where I don’t handle the model/terrain and I’m just careful with storage too!
Definitely stealing this idea. Though I think to keep things a little neater as my workspace is temporary and exposed to pets, I think instead of using the powder I'm going to experiment with the Army Painter Fanatic Effects rust paints.
Quick, Simple, Effective :) great video there's just so much detail in this that is would be insane to get it all so this was really cool! I'm sure this won't be the last but are you going to cover any of the other kill teams? Or just these ones for now? Great video as always Andy
Thanks so much man! Yes there is a ton of detail, you’d go insane trying to paint it all to a really high level and it would distract from the modes anyway! Which kill teams are you looking for? I’ve covered everything except the Moroch box set but I do plan to paint the teams from that now that they’re out separately!
@@MediocreHobbies That would be the only one then, my bad lol I know you just started the play list so when I saw the newer videos my mind blanked that you had already done the others so I'm actually looking forward to the Moroch boxes since I have the Blooded. Sorry about that mix up on my part
@@ovan2190 Don't worry at all! Normally I would have done it straight away but I already had the terrain from it so I didn't bother getting the box! I'll have the teams done soon hopefully but in the meantime if you have any questions, let me know!
So did you feel the need to sand? I did after I felt things were a wee bit too too tight. I do intend to try something like this after I get shadow vaults. I based the first set in ivory over brown primer… but I do intend to use the contrasts and possibly dirty down rust…
Thanks so much for watching! I don’t seal my powders-I don’t like how it looks after so I’m just careful with where I apply it and how I handle the models/terrain for gaming!
Can I ask Andy, how are you sealing the weathering powders down, I’ve used a light spray of GW seal but it’s a bit heavy and blurs the pigments out a bit
So question. I hate green contrast paints, mainly warp stone glow (or is it warp lightning). Because it doesn't seem to cover over well. I've tried multiple way from overloading the brush to barely adding any and it still streaks showering the undercoat layer. Would you say the new green contrast that you use in this video is better?
@@MediocreHobbies mainly a deep green like apple green. On that covers well. Warp lightning is good for small areas like eye lenses. But it always fails me on larger areas. Just looking for a contrast alternative, ya know.
@@MediocreHobbies no worries. I bought the set on seeing this video. Then when I got it I realised the colours didn't match. So pleased with how mines turned out so cheers fir that bud.
Are you maybe spraying too close to the model? It should be more like a dusting of the varnish to hold it in place rather than any directed spray that would be able to move the powder.
@MediocreHobbies Is that how you do it? I seal all my minis with Krylon Matte Varnish after I'm done painting them, but I've never used weathering powder before. I love how it's looking on my test piece for the BA walls, but I'm concerned if it will hold up to spray.
Nope, I personally don’t use varnish, I don’t like how it looks on the powder and I don’t have much issues with it coming off, just be careful handling it!

Glad to hear it pal.
Simple and effective, I would do this and then I might try some OSL but that’s something when I’m feeling ambitious enough
Awesome. Go for it.
Do the weathering powders rub off with use? I'm guessing a coat of clear matt or satin varnish should fix them in place if needed?
They hardly rub off much at all in my experience.
You can seal it with hairspray
You could also use a matte glaze to protect the paint and powders.
They can run off a little bit. Some People do indeed seal them in with varnish but not a fan of the result never heard of the hairspray technique. I just try it.

Brilliant tutorial for quick scenery. I’m more of a scale modeller so I’ll spend loads of time painting all the details. That’s just me though 🤪
Crazy man. But I get it.
Wow, this will work for me.
Glad you liked it pal.
Nice one! 👏
Cheers pal.
Is there a particular way to add those powders? Your video has made me go out and order some, but I’m unsure how to apply them. Do I just slap them on like in your video?
You do indeed and if it’s a piece you will touch a lot then a spray of Matt varnish over the top will help hold it in place.
Im loving the rapid uploads man! You are a great painting tutor
Thanks so much man, comments like this always make it worth it 🙌
I’d give this a go if I already hadn’t started a different technique.
Looks very fast & effective. I assume you used a satin varnish to lock in the pigment powders & keep the metallics from looking dull (like a matte varnish would).
I don’t use varnish over pigment powder! It changes the look of them and I prefer just being careful with them instead! The pigment is at the bottom where I don’t handle the model/terrain and I’m just careful with storage too!
@@MediocreHobbies I would love to hear more about what you mean by careful with storage
Great video!
Cheers pal.
A really good thing in game is to paint the doors so that they visually pop !
Yep 100% agree.
Looks good
Thanks so much, appreciate that!
Have you sealed it to keep the weathering powders on the piece ?
After the two sets were don’t i did give it a quick spray of satin varnish.
Did you use the green contrast on all of the screens throughout the terrain? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏
I did use warp lightning on all the screens I considered to be switched “on”, some of them I left dark if they looked too damaged to be working!
@@MediocreHobbies thankyou so much
Definitely stealing this idea. Though I think to keep things a little neater as my workspace is temporary and exposed to pets, I think instead of using the powder I'm going to experiment with the Army Painter Fanatic Effects rust paints.
Great idea! Let me know how it goes, always interested to hear how new things work!
Quick, Simple, Effective :) great video there's just so much detail in this that is would be insane to get it all so this was really cool!
I'm sure this won't be the last but are you going to cover any of the other kill teams? Or just these ones for now? Great video as always Andy
Thanks so much man! Yes there is a ton of detail, you’d go insane trying to paint it all to a really high level and it would distract from the modes anyway! Which kill teams are you looking for? I’ve covered everything except the Moroch box set but I do plan to paint the teams from that now that they’re out separately!
@@MediocreHobbies That would be the only one then, my bad lol I know you just started the play list so when I saw the newer videos my mind blanked that you had already done the others so I'm actually looking forward to the Moroch boxes since I have the Blooded. Sorry about that mix up on my part
@@ovan2190 Don't worry at all! Normally I would have done it straight away but I already had the terrain from it so I didn't bother getting the box! I'll have the teams done soon hopefully but in the meantime if you have any questions, let me know!
So did you feel the need to sand? I did after I felt things were a wee bit too too tight. I do intend to try something like this after I get shadow vaults. I based the first set in ivory over brown primer… but I do intend to use the contrasts and possibly dirty down rust…
Yep a bit of sanding was required on some parts not everything.
How’d you make the powder stick? I’m having trouble with it staying on the terrain.
You can spray some varnish on after of you like. I’m not a big fan but most people use it.
Haven't used the pigments dust before, just wondering how and what you apply it with?
Nothing. From brush to model. Most people use a spray varnish to help seal it in. I’m not a fan of how that looks so I just leave it.
“I don’t know anyone in their right mind that would paint all those little details”
I will ehehehehehehe
Madman lol
I like it. But I would have shaded it black before the weathering powder.
That’s cool man, always feel free to add or leave out parts from tutorials! Thanks for watching!
Hi what size brush do you use. amazing results.
Just a large drybrush. Nothing crazy.
this looks amazing I will deffo be using this scheme to do my set! what brushes did you use to make this piece?
Normal gw brushes. Nothing special.
Question, do you mask off the parts where the end caps go like ypu dod for the end connections?
Yes you should do this to avoid paint getting in and making it harder to put it all together.
Pro tip 😂 just assemble all in 1 big long wall and prime like this, no need for masking tape, or if you want to spend time, cut all and magnetize
Hahhaha very clever. Mite do that for the second batch lol
Thanks for the inspiration - do you seal this with anything?
Thanks so much for watching! I don’t seal my powders-I don’t like how it looks after so I’m just careful with where I apply it and how I handle the models/terrain for gaming!
Is there a bronze spray primer that could save a step? I primed my Octarius terrain in Leadbelcher and that was a great start.
I wish there was maybe with army painter.
Can I ask Andy, how are you sealing the weathering powders down, I’ve used a light spray of GW seal but it’s a bit heavy and blurs the pigments out a bit
I’m not. I just apply the powder. I’m not a fan of what varnish does to the powder so I avoid it.
So question. I hate green contrast paints, mainly warp stone glow (or is it warp lightning). Because it doesn't seem to cover over well. I've tried multiple way from overloading the brush to barely adding any and it still streaks showering the undercoat layer. Would you say the new green contrast that you use in this video is better?
There are so many new green contrast paints. And there really good but very different. Really depends what time you want.
@@MediocreHobbies mainly a deep green like apple green. On that covers well. Warp lightning is good for small areas like eye lenses. But it always fails me on larger areas. Just looking for a contrast alternative, ya know.
Are the Soulshackle/into the dark terrain the same/compatable with the boarding actions terrain?
They are indeed the same scenery. So it’s Perfect for both.
@@MediocreHobbies Thanks for confirming
Do you dip the brush into water or some other luquid to use the weathering dust or does it just stick
It just sticks, don’t use water! Then seal it after with some varnish!
Worth noting that the redish "dark rust" is actually called iron oxide. The actual dark rust is much darkness and less red. Looks great though.
Cheers pal.
@@MediocreHobbies no worries. I bought the set on seeing this video. Then when I got it I realised the colours didn't match. So pleased with how mines turned out so cheers fir that bud.
I love it. One question, everytime I have used weathering powders they have been 'blown off' when I matt varnish...any suggestions?
Are you maybe spraying too close to the model? It should be more like a dusting of the varnish to hold it in place rather than any directed spray that would be able to move the powder.
@MediocreHobbies Is that how you do it? I seal all my minis with Krylon Matte Varnish after I'm done painting them, but I've never used weathering powder before. I love how it's looking on my test piece for the BA walls, but I'm concerned if it will hold up to spray.
AWESOME!!
Glad you liked it.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks outstanding, I’ll definitely be looking up this video again when I finally get to my Into the Dark scenery
Awesome to hear that! If you have any questions before you start, let me know!
Can you connect all wall tiles in one long line?
Emmm don’t think so no.
Any issues with the connectors being too tight? I’ve seen other videos where they sand or file them down.
Nope! As I show in the video I was careful to tape them off so I don’t add any paint layers to them, the fit is tight but not too tight!
So how much of that weathering powder is still there and hasn’t made a mess?
Pretty much all of it, it’s not where I handle the pieces, and I don’t toss them around when I’m done with games so very little comes off!
nothing to fix the powders to stop them rubbing off?
Nope, I personally don’t use varnish, I don’t like how it looks on the powder and I don’t have much issues with it coming off, just be careful handling it!
