I am currently painting 3 outrider bikes. I decided to try a heavily weathered look using the salt technique. While I like it, it wasn't great and I decided against using it but I thought I'd add the picture in case people are interested in giving the technique a go.
It's a good technique but I need to work out my salt to water ratio's

Stunning work!

They look great mate. I didn't really like the bikes seeing them on the FW website, but they way you've done them really brings out the GW-ness of them

**energongoodie** · 06-03-2013, 04:12 AM

Thanks Wrath

Thanks Soton, but I'm gonna have to ask for clarification on what 'GW-ness' is

**SotonShades** · 06-03-2013, 08:47 AM

Lol yeh no worries. I would have said that they didn't look 40k enough, but that wouldn't make sense for what they are. I did think the bikes looked a little too "generic sci-fi" and whilst the HH stuff isn't supposed to be as grim dark, all worship the emperor, holy holy holy, those bikes just didn't really seem to fit for me. Looking at yours, they do.

Hope that makes a bit more sense. I highly doubt it :P

Cool buddy

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm taking it as a compliment

p.s
I haven't put transfers or markings on them as I am waiting for the next HH FW book for a clear cut guide.

I always liked your Iron Hands posts, not that your previous models were bad, they aren't . They're really good. But these bikes are a step up again. Look awesome.

**energongoodie** · 06-03-2013, 02:35 PM

Thanks Deadlift

I really appreciate that. Up close they don't look any better but the photos help them I think.

I must give a 'shout out' to the facebook painting group 'painting oaths' [url]https://www.facebook.com/groups/541074439270281/[/url]

I painted them for last months oath where the 'secret ingredient' was OSL.
I advise you to jump onboard and start oathing!

You've got lots of interesting techniques and the models truly come alive when you see them like this.
Hopefully i'll master techniques that will rival yours one day.
