I have been asked by a couple of people, how I painted my Zone Mortalis Floor Tiles, so I will tell you guys how I did it!
First off, this scheme is the result of lots of googlefu and searching Facebook/Twitter/Instagram for ideas.
None of this is my own original thought, but I didn’t make note of posts that inspired me, so if you see a likely candidate, let me know so I can credit them. There are a few people who contributed to this and I am kicking myself that I didn’t make a note of them!
Step 1
The first step is to prime the tile black, for this I have used Wilkos Satin Black spray.
Step 2
In this step I lightly spray the tile with a dark brown, in this case I have used Rust-Oleum Satin Espresso, but you could easily use something like Land Rover Russet Brown from Halfords.
I aimed for about 80% – 90% coverage of this.
Step 3
Next I take some Burnt Siena, I got this from Amazon, and tear up a bit of cheap sponge to apply it, but I use a piece of kitchen towel to take off as much of the paint as possible.
I then apply it rather heavily to the tile.
Step 4
Next I sponge on some Fire Dragon Bright, but much lighter this time.
Step 5
Now I take some Humbrol Maskol, but you could just as easily use Vallejo Liquid Mask, and I sponge this on to the tile quite randomly.
Step 6
Now we give a thin layer of Iron Warriors, I applied this with a cheap make up brush.
Step 7
You can skip ahead now if you don’t want to put any hazard markings on your board.
But I apply a couple of thin layers of Averland Sunset to where I want to put the hazard stripes.
Step 8
Then some masking tape is applied to protec the parts I want to remain yellow.
Step 9
Then a couple of thin layers of Abaddon Black is applied to the uncovered area.
Step 10
At this point I now remove the masking tape and begin to rub off the Maskol, be that with a singer, it my finger.
As it comes off it shows the rust effect underarm the Iron Warriors.
I also paint any details I want to be bronze, in this case I used Balthasar Gold.
Step 11
The final step is to mix Typhus Corrosion 1:1 with water and apply it to the tiles, leaving it to dry for a few seconds before dabbing it off with kitchen towel.
And this is the final stage in how I paint my Zone Mortalis Floor Tiles.
And that how I paint my Zone Mortalis floors, I think it looks ok myself.
