3 Ways to PAINT RUST + 1 Secret Weapon for Weathering

Talking about one of my favorite subjects, painting rust for Warhammer! In this video we take a look at three weathering + rust techniques to apply to your miniatures. Each one is straight forward and approachable, but yields great results. They're also great for building upon + customizing!
Not only are these useful for Warhammer miniatures but are sure to make your terrain and other tabletop accessories stand out as well.
Even if you're a seasoned mini painting veteran, I'm sure there will be something helpful in this video.

best and easiest rust effects ive seen so far. great job

[@Zanzibrush]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

[@kyledouglass5078]

This is so helpful thank you! Just gone halves with a friend of skaventide and I'm tasked with the skaven half. I want then to look really rusty and messy. So used to doing Lizardmen and Tyranids so I'm not vastly experienced with metal but handy to know which colours to play around with as I'm more used to using contract paints.

[@Zanzibrush]

Awesome, so glad you liked it! The new Skaven look so cool, I bet that's gonna be so fun.

The third shield with the mask technique looks so amazing, really coool stuff. What I love the most though is probably the moment (at 4:53 before aplying the metal again) where the dried Mask is still on the Shield! Gives it this look as if it was sunken underwater for a long time. found your channel yesterday and almost finished watching all your videos, love your attitude and nice tips!

[@Zanzibrush]

cool man, thanks so much! Appreciate the views. I bet you could achieve something similar with some texture paint instead of the mask if you're digging the look

[@Heinzpeteromfg]

@@Zanzibrush Makes me wanna make an undead army with the sunken underwater look all over.

[@MakinHicks]

I love all 3. Super helpful.

so glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

That is some very good techniques for rusting up metal, perfect for undead warriors and that jolly bunch from Nurgle. Dave Soper incorporates thinned PVC glue and bits of baking soda on a rusty subject, it's very effective!

[@Zanzibrush]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed. I'm a big fan of Dave Soper, that sounds like a cool technique!

[@lamphood9004]

Woah thats sick, i like the second one the most!

[@Zanzibrush]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoy

[@lacanian_lifter]

Love it. I’m gonna try method two this weekend on a primaris intercessor 😮

[@Zanzibrush]

Hell ya, hope it goes well!

[@SoNorthitzSouth]

I like the base layer of brown and adding on to it with other rust colors, and then adding that bluish metal color you mixed up. That's such a great color. My Ork army has a heavy theme of looting battlefields and everything they use is stolen or scrapped together, so I'm definitely using some of these tips to give a new vibe to some of my vehicles' panels.

[@Zanzibrush]

That's awesome, I love Orkz! So glad you found the video useful.

[@riothetiger5586]

I will definitely use these

[@Zanzibrush]

Awesome! glad you enjoyed

I'm about to start painting a load of Nurgle corrupted titans for Adeptus Titanicus, this is an excellent help thanks! Liked and subscribed

[@Zanzibrush]

that's awesome man, super glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@sebytheman]

I do that with my gummed-up old brushes too! These are some awesome effects -- I really appreciate your approach to these effects, I feel like you're really coming up with novel ways of doing things rather than just personalizing standard approaches -- I bet you come from a traditional art background eh? :)

[@Zanzibrush]

Haha how could you tell?? Thanks for the kind words and for watching! Love using that little weird brush to paint rust with.

[@sebytheman]

@@Zanzibrush I could tell cause I could relate, I've noticed that approach is far more common among art lifers rather than hobbyists hahah -- and thanks for the great content!

[@GarredHATES]

Thanks Charlie

[@stuartharrington5674]

Enjoyed the vid. 😁😁

[@Zanzibrush]

Thanks for watching!

[@maciejrek7352]

What are the proportions on the electric blue/iron warriors mix?

[@Zanzibrush]

I'd start with roughly 4:1 iron warriors to electric blue and go from there. You can also see me mix up the color in this video for a better look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/garMoYaDidqEjdksi=j_ttrjc0yvHuoAZ2&t=199

@@Zanzibrush thanks, best acrylic rust video by far, simple and effective

Look at your plants!

[@Zanzibrush]

Haha thank you for noticing!

[@iamaraindog385]

@@Zanzibrush Actually the first thing I noticed... so many painters have the wall of paint, or equipment, but having some nice greenery in the background was a different take.

[@Zanzibrush]

@@iamaraindog385 Awesome! Was also thinking the greenery could be a nice switch up from all the rusty metals. Sounds like I should keep the bg for my next video haha. Thanks for watching!
