More painting

Well,
went back to the Dragon yesterday to paint some more. Met with the resident paint guru, Mike, who gave me some advice on the rust i was trying to paint.

Paint scheme for rust:
Watered down Fiery Orange 1:1
Drybrush Dark Flesh
Ink Wash Brown/Fiery Orange/Water 1:1:3
Drybrush Tin Bitz

For Armour Edging:
Bestial Brown
Snakebite Leather
Graveyard Earth

Mike also wanted me to try for the "glowing eye" effect. I tried it on a couple of models. I'm not that good. but here's the progression:
Drybrush Dark Angels Green - this goes out the furthest, touching armour, weapons, shoulder pads, etc.
Drybrush Goblin Green - this comes in a bit, leaving the Dark Angels Showing
Drybrush Scorpion Green - This comes in even further
Drybrush Skull White - The tightest, this should only be in the eye and around the socket of the helmet.

I need a lot more practice and perhaps a better brush.
