How to paint energy backpacks for Warhammer?

Our famous and beloved friends in green, the orcs, are known for their eagerness to recycle any type of machinery and make it fit for war, caring only about its functionality and leaving aesthetics aside. That is, if they need a functioning power pack, size and appearance won't matter, as long as it does its job in the heat of battle.

That's why orcs are one of the favorite armies for painters who love to imitate the effects of wear and tear, rust, and other aging techniques.

In this tutorial on how to paint energy backpacks for Warhammer, we give you the keys so that you can give that look of machinery made with pieces of other devices, with that orc touch that we like so much. It is important to choose the right range of acrylic paints to use and, above all, that they are compatible with the rusty and worn look we are looking for.

Our artist has used a very desaturated color palette, as it is a perfect option when using a technique that seeks a very worn color paint effect. He accentuates the aged and used look with these model paints when painting the energy backpacks for Warhammer. But, as always, we teach you the technique, you provide the colors!
