Rock Tutorial
The chaos troops marched through sylvania during the reign of mannifred. The brilliant Von Carsten used the amassed barbarians to bolster his own troops.
The grave markers for the chaos dead are significantly different from any others.
In the following tutorial, I will be showing you how to paint rock using only GW paints.
To start with, I base coated the stone with adeptus battlegrey, which has been renamed mechanicus standard grey.
So what we are going for is a slate look. Slate is a nice clean grey, and found pretty much everywhere. My next step on it was to stipple the rock with celestra grey, the paint formerly known as astronomican grey. It’s a fairly heavy stipple, but quick to dry because it’s the new paint.
Next to give the stone a touch of definition. Get the terminatus stone and give a nice light drybrush. Don’t overdo it, you want the stippling to show through. Note how the drybrush of the dry paint only catches the edges. That is perfect for our slate.
Now you may look at this and say to yourself, this ain’t lookin like slate rock just yet. Of course not! Our last step is to wash it. I’m going with his juice, aka Devlan mud, or agrax earthshade. Another good choice for a darker stone would be bad an black, known now as nuln oil.
Now I went back afterwards and brought out the edges with celestra grey again. Afterall slate is sharp. Lol
Also I filled in the chaos star with bloodletter, the red glaze. After that I re-edged the chaos star with celestra grey to define it better.
Next is purely aesthetics. I like stones to have moss or lichen on them. So I’ve added some mossy spots with lustrian undergrowth texture. To define it I’ve added a drybrush of Gretchin green, the new name for which is deathworld forest. Over that to age it again, I washed it with the earthshade. That layer I did over the entire bottom to make it dirty and weathered.
Enjoy! And remember everything die's so everything can be turned to undead except deamons who are banished.
