WIP: Space Wolves "Runic Mountain" Bases

I finished the stone on the Secret Weapon Miniatures bases I am basing this Space Wolves commission on. They dark grey will be drybrushed with a couple of different lighter greys and then given an earth-toned pigment wash to simulate dirt. After the models are pinned to the bases, I will go back and add snow effects.

The stone was accomplished by priming the bases white. I then dabbed various colors of oil paint (umber, grey, brown-black, green, sienna) in a random pattern on the stoney areas and proceeded to mix all of the paints together. While the paint was still wet, I took an old t-shirt and wiped a majority of the oil paint away, leaving the mixed colors in the nooks and crannies. I dipped a rag in some white spirit to wipe away even more paint to let more of the white base coat show through on the more prominent edges.

Except of the base, which I haven't decided on yet, it's all done:

Fine Molds 1/72 scale model; completed in Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, 502 Abteilung oils, and Secret Weapon Miniatures pigments.

Here are some pictures of the a recent commission for a client who is an active duty Marine. He requested his models to be painted to resemble modern armor, so after searching around AFV modeling forums I found Tamiya XF-59 (Desert Yellow) to be a pretty close match to IF armor and decided to go with that. The model was primed white and preshaded with black before the base color of Desert Yellow was applied and all the odds and ends were painted. The interior was painted with VMA Interior Green much in the fashion of WWII-era aircraft and the pilot's armor was painted in MultiCam. The chipping was done with VMA Black and VMA Burnt Umber mixed 3:2 and applied with a piece of torn foam. The streaking was done with 502 Abteilung "Starship Filth" and the soot was done with Secret Weapon Miniatures Engine Exhaust. The most heavily chipped edges were given a rub of Secret Weapon Miniatures Metallic Iron pigment with my finger tip. The effect didn't photograph very well, but it looks great in person.
