Getting closer to the @hollowcrownminiatures Kicks Getting closer to the @hollowcrownminiatures Kickstarter, stay tuned! 👀

Here’s a quick look at how to create realistic rusty effects on one of the new miniatures by @hollowcrownminiatures from my friends @infamous_jt_ and @varusminiatures ; and sculpted by the excelente @aquila_sculpting .

For this effect, I used very thin glazes and filters (think 80–90% water) with just two acrylic colors: first Black Brown, followed by Rust (both from @ionicsmarthobbies). The more layers, the more intense the effect. I only applied it on the reveses and darker lower areas. 

If you like these miniatures and are wondering how to paint them, don’t worry: I’ve prepared something special that you’ll discover very soon in the Kickstarter! 🔥

Mud effects are not painted, they are created. By Mud effects are not painted, they are created. By using enamels of different consistencies, we can achieve highly realistic mud effects. This reel shows how to integrate a @trench_crusade figure with its environment using enamel muds from @ammomig

Step 1 – Base mud texture: create the basic mud texture using your preferred method, such as acrylic texture. The texture can be further enriched by adding natural elements, such as grass roots collected from a nearby park. 

Step 2 – Dry mud layer: apply a thick mud effect in a medium or light brown to represent dry mud. Use an old synthetic brush and splay the bristles to create more random, natural-looking textures. Apply small amounts to the lower part of the cloak, the boots, and the base.

Step 3 – Transition cleanup: with a clean brush, gently soften the transition areas using a stippling motion. 

Step 4 – Wet mud layer: apply a second layer of thick mud in a darker brown to represent wet mud. Concentrate this on the lowest parts of the miniature to create a sense of progression from dry to wet mud, and apply it randomly on the base.

Step 5 – Blending the base: blend the thick mud effects on the base using a more liquid enamel in a slightly different tone. Apply small amounts here and there with a brush to unify the textures and add depth.

Step 6 – Final clean-up: using a clean brush, perform a final clean-up on the miniature. Soften selected areas and remove excess mud where necessary to maintain balance and realism.

I used washes to speed up the painting process, combined with just a couple of highlights: fast and effective (you will find a complete step by step in the next volume of the encyclopedia for wargames by @ionicsmarthobbies ).

I also went for a mimikry camo scheme using Dunkelgelb, Lizard Grey, and Rust from @ionicsmarthobbies. Mus effects done with enamels.

Another Steel Legion miniature by @tinylegend.mini Another Steel Legion miniature by @tinylegend.minis, featuring my current favorite leather recipe: Black Brown → Brown → Brown + Vanilla. I usually thin the paint with ~50% of water to create very thin layers. This helps to create smoother transitions, but also increase the number of layers.

How do you paint leather?

I have been working on another exciting project fo I have been working on another exciting project for #trenchcrusade, this time featuring the Cruciform Order of St George by @hollowcrownminiatures, a joint venture from my friends @infamous_jt_ and @varusminiatures.

The miniatures have been designed and sculpted by @aquila_sculpting, combining the aesthetics of 15th-century English armies with WWI British soldiery. This gives them a unique and characterful look.

And I am also working on something together with @ionicsmarthobbies to help bring these miniatures to life. On this figure, I tested several tones and textures to achieve a grounded, realistic fabric on the Priest’s cloth. I began with a dark green-brown base (a 50/50 mix of olivgrun and burnt umber), then built up highlights by adding graveyard earth and finally a touch of vanilla.

Their “Hickstarter” to get these exclusive miniatures is in full swing! Check out @empressminiatures’ website or Facebook page for more information.

I took the opportunity to try on these miniatures one of the German camouflages I dislike the most (because of its complexity) the pea dot pattern. I am planning to prepare a new PDF explaining how I achieved this camo, just as I have done recently with the other German patterns. Painted with @ionicsmarthobbies, and base decorated with Tajima1 grass tufts.
