I’ve finished my Baal Predator by weathering the tank to give it a well used look. After the jump I have a lot more images of this tank and a link to a tutorial on how I weathered the tank.
I’m really pleased with the finished Baal. Maybe the silver paint chipping a little too much in some areas. I might go back over it and sponge on some red to cover up some of the silver. Here’s the link to the tutorial I used to weather the tank.
I’m really excited for Deathwatch Overkill. I can’t wait to add the Deathwatch to my Army of the Imperium Project.

Thanks a lot, we appreciate any help to continue and grow Tale of Painters 🙂
See for me personally I much prefer the lightly weathered look such as this as opposed to the clean look, just seems more real to me whereas the clean ones look more like toys.
Down to opinion that though of course and either way it's very accomplished painting as always 🙂
One thing I would suggest with the chipping though is to sponge on a darker ground such as Warplock bronze before the bright silver, just gives a bit of definition to the chips I find. Don't know how you feel about that but it works for me.
Thanks for the tip.
You're more than welcome. I've taken plenty of inspiration from your painting and my photography has come a long way largely due to your articles so it's nice to be able to give something back no matter how small 🙂
Awesome. Can't wait to start my BA Stormraven now.
I think you need to take a page from Thirdeyes weathering book.
I dont think weathering is your style anyway, always thought you and Stahly are the kings of clean.
I think though that the way Garfy has done the weathering is more in line with his style which is a much cleaner paint job as to what I do. I like the way it is, too much weathering I think would mess it up. Personally I like it and it's good to know when to stop so that it's not ott.
Beautiful work!
Really stunning read – I wouldn't worry that you put too much chipping on, I think it's a perfect contrast.
Lovely. Nice lightly weathered….absolutely perfect level.
