How would I paint this quickly?

I really like the look of the ruins that GW painted. I would like to do the same thing for my complete board. This is many buildings so I would like to be able to get the bulk of it done in a few days. How do I go about getting this same effect?

Easiest way I can see is to find a primer in the base color you want (blue in the picture), then dry brush an offwhite on the edges, sponge on a rust color, and use a dark brass or steel on the metallics (you can do a damp drybrush for that part if you're careful). Use the brown/rust as the top color too and dry brush a light color over top to bring out the details.

If you have an airbrush and not a colored primer, then prime in grey, airbrush in the base color.

If you don't have an airbrush, it'll be a brush painted base coat.

So this is mainly a dark blue primer

I'll have to think how to do this, I do have an airbrush and access to some different coloured spray paints. Sadly, today it is raining so I can't test.

Would a black under coak with blue coming down from the top look better? or not worth the extra effort.

I would say test a small piece first to see if you like it

I will. I screwed up on part so i'll test it on that. Thankfully, it is 3d printed terrian

If you don't like how it turns out, since it's a practice piece, rebase coat it and try again until you find one that works

This is the current build. I made it modular

Looks like it'll be fun to play

I hope so. I want to invite people to my table, not always traveling. 😁
