My Attempt At Painting: Fallout Wasteland Warfare - The Tabletop Hub

Today I’m going to show you my attempt at painting the T-45 Power Armour from Fallout Wasteland Warfare.

So to start off with I primed the model in Army Painters Uniform Grey, I wanted to go for a brushed metal look for the power armour which you’ll see as we progress and I though just covering the model in a metallic colour at this point would be too much.

Next I began work on the Laser Rifle, so for this I used Army Painters Army Green for the main chamber of the rifle, Necrotic Flesh for the grip that you see on the underside of the barrel, at least I think it’s a grip, and then I used Army Painters Daemonic Yellow to paint the energy cell at the back of the rifle. For the cabling on the top of the rifle I used Army Painters Dragon Red. One thing I will say is that when you’re using the Daemonic Yellow, make sure and give it a good shake before you paint, you may find that you need to give it a couple of layers to get an even coat as mine was quite watery.

Next I took Army Painters Dry Rust effect paint and began picking out the occasional crack or pit in the armour, I’d recommend adding this sparingly as I almost added too much really. And you do only want to add this to those deep recesses in so that it gets covered well by the wash that we’ll add in a moment, so prioritise the knees, the underside of the ridges near the feet, areas that may almost be in shadow.

Next I took Citadels Nuln Oil and added two was layers to really darken the model down.

Once it had dried it looked like this, so already at this point its looking pretty cool and while you could probably finish off here I wanted to add that brushed metal look so I took some Army Painters Gun Metal and dry brushed the entire mini, the idea here is that this will pick out the highlights, give it a scratchy look and all in all just look pretty awesome.

After this was done I took some Army Painters Necromancers Cloak and painted the parts of the power armour that are the joins, I’m not sure how to describe this but they look slightly tubular as opposed to the metal sections, they’re kind of like the under-armour I guess.

Next I took Army Painters Oak Brown and painted the breathing tubes on the helmet and the tubes coming from the canisters on the Power Armours back and highlighted these tubes with Army Painters Leather Brown.

For the little light on the helmet I used Army Painters Crystal Blue and then it was onto the base.

If you’ve seen any of my other Wasteland Warfare videos or tutorials the process here is pretty much the same, give the slabs a coat of Necromancers Cloak, dry brush Dungeon Grey and paint any of the wood with Oak Brown before giving the entire base a was with Nuln Oil.

And folks that’s it, that is how I painted the Power Armour from Fallout Wasteland Warfare, we’re very nearly done with the Core Set then it’ll be on to the other bits and bobs from the game but hopefully you’ve found this helpful. Power Armour is one thing that you can exercise some creative freedom with as there are so many different styles out there, this is just one of them and I’d encourage you to experiment and have fun with it.

I should be starting work on Nora and the other survivors in the core set next but aside from that I hope you’re all having a great week and I’ll speak to you all soon!
