"Dirty wasteland" camo scheme for Warhammer 40k Steel Legion (or other Guard or general military units).
I tried to take the best methods from the miniature wargaming community and a few extra touches from the scale modeling community to add a bit more interest.
Full guide on how I painted the skin, hair, trousers, gold, silver and much more.
Hints💡
- Grey primer recommended
- Thin paints with Contrast Medium, washes with Lahmian Medium
- Use gradual layering for smooth blending by mixing colors
- Magnifying glasses & painting handle help with details

How I paint canopy glass for mechs. I mostly use this for Battletech, but can be applied to cockpit canopies for aerospace fighters, vehicles, and mechs in Battletech, Warhammer, etc. I detail how to paint red canopy glass and what I like to call mirrorized glass. I may add additional colors as I paint them. But the technique can be applied to just about any colors.
I got the original idea for the mirrorized glass from Duncan Rhodes' video on painting Clan Wolf Beta Galaxy. My recipe differs slightly in technique and paints used, but still highly recommend checking it out: https://youtu.be/HARE4yzVK8k?si=QusAurgYusFy-v_1
I wanted a method of getting these boys painted quick, but still have them looking decent. With a few tweaks, the method shown by "Elminiaturista" on Instagram worked a treat.
