Brutal Cities Blog

This blog covers two easy techniques to achieve a rust effect for your terrain - The first using an airbrush to build up successive layers of rust colours, and the second using special rust effects paint.

The metallic paint that rusts uses an acidic solution and a little help from water to create...Real rust! This technique is especially useful for Necromunda and post apocalyptic games like Gaslands, but is easily applicable to all wargames.
