Painting A Khador Destroyer and Juggernaut for Warmachine

Here are the two warjacks from the starter set, a Destroyer and a Juggernaut. I wanted these two jacks to look like they had been operating in the field for a while, so I used a snow base and weathered the jacks a little bit, to make it look like paint had worn off around the edges.

  1. Prime the figure with Citadel Colour Blood Red spray.
  2. Highlight edges with a mix of Citadel Blood Red and yellow or orange
  3. Basecoast all of the metal VGC Gunmetal Metal
  4. Wash the entire model with a mix of Liquitex Paynes Grey, Liquitex Glaze Medium, and some water
  5. Line the edges of the figure using the same Citadel Blood Red and yellow or orange you used before
  6. Mix some chestnut ink and water and selectively apply this to the backs of the steam boiler and around the joints to look like leaked fluid
  7. Dilute some orange with water and selectively apply this to the areas you think might end up being a little rusty
  8. Drybrush the metal parts with VGC Gunmetal and then a little bit of VGC Silver
  9. Paint the brass areas VGC Brassy Brass
  10. Wash the brass with a mix of Liquitex Raw Umber and water
  11. Line the edges of the brass sections with VMC Glorious Gold
  12. Paint the eyes with the color of your choice, I used a bright blue, but other people use oranges/yellows
  13. Use a flat brush to paint the Khador symbol white
  14. I freehanded the symbols, probably with a mix of Bleached Bone and some Flesh Wash, though I can't remember for sure
  15. To weather the edges, I took a 1/8 flat brush and lightly brushed VGC Gunmetal from the edge towards the inside of the figure. I did this all around the jack, paying particular attention to the corners of the armor plating
  16. Once your finished with the VGC Gunmetal, add a little bit of VGC Silver and touch up some of the highlights
  17. Base with a little bit of snow
  18. Seal
