Catch-up-alanche! Necromunda bulk scenery painting method

Again, no apologies for the title, catch-ups are hard. 

So, had a load of Necromunda scenery to paint, so out comes the batch painting assembly line! Apart from needing a decent space to get this done, you can give it a good enough look. 

Its busy enough to break the board up nicely.

 
My method for this lot is...

  1. Spray black (cheap primer if poss)
  2. Dry brush Leadbelcher over everything
  3. Dry brush tops with Stormhost silver, 
  4. Base bronze's dark brown (Mournfang?)
  5. Fairly dilute Gehenna's gold on Bronzes
  6. Paint elements of wiring/switches/dials/screens with Reds/Greens/Blues
  7. Wash certain elements of metals with different tones (blues/purples) (this one was an Army painter metallic metal which I liked.
  8. Paint hazard stripes on, don't beat yourself up for not perfecting these, they will be washed and weathered with the yellow of the stripes anyway
  9. Sponge dab the whole thing for rust effects Slayer orange mix (emphasising the bases of the pieces)
  10. Cover the entire piece with liberal but light Burnt umber Oil wash, go twice if needed.
  11. Go back over with heavier oil wash mix for heavier run-off areas
  12. Wash bronzes with Nihilakh Oxides.

I was intending to do a load more greens to represent some real run-off and effluents etc, but realised i'd like to use for some other projects down the line so resisted for now.
