Immediately above, we have the basecoated vehicle. I just painted the whole thing with GW Iyanden Darksun foundation paint and a large brush. I didn't worry overly much about getting paint on parts of the model that aren't supposed to be yellow - I'll clean that up later.
Next step was to paint the camo on. I decided to use a WWII German pattern (surprise!) and found a suitable one in "Panzer Colours" by Bruce Culver. The "model" was a StuG IV on the eastern front, late '44. I lightly brushed/stippled on GW Dark Flesh. The historical equivalent would be "dunkelgelb/rotbrun" I'd say.
Next, a wash of GW Devlan Mud (the all-purpose wash!) to darken the yellow, even out the camo, and add a bit of shading.
Above, I've tidied up the stowage and painted the metal bits with GW Boltgun Metal, followed by a light drybrush of Deneb Stone.
Good progress in this photo - I've painted the stowage (nearside in Scorched Brown/Bestial Brown, far side in a Darksun/Dark Flesh/black camo to match the Space Marine armour, with Codex Grey straps), rusted out some of the metal with a Chestnut Ink wash, painted the exhausts straight Dark Flesh, and washed the bolter with Badab Black.
Finished vehicle with rider - I've done my typical weathering with a Scorched Brown drybrush up from the bottom in the places where mud and dirt would accumulate. I follow this with a drybrush of Bestial Brown. Now into the decal folder...
