Trying Something New
So for the Knight Tyrant I've put together a Rhino to act as a scenic base. The plan is to paint it as a Dark Angels tank (My buddy plays Dark Angels). So I'm putting down an initial metallic layer with rusting and then I plan to try the hairspray & salt chipping method.

Live and learn: I may have over done it on the weathering. I think this is a case of "less is more". I'm going to let it dry a bit and then go back with a light drybrush to bring back a bit of the green. That said, this technique is really cool, just not for this specific application.
I’ve found that in terms of area less can be more, while in terms of brightness and saturation you can sometimes really pump it up.
My main rust recipe is sponging gently with foam, starting with brown, then dark brown red, and up through oranges. Very light passes. Streaking fluids from companies like AK can be good if you plan on doing a lot of rust.
If you want a real expert, I’d watch Night Shift and try to adapt some techniques.

@thatdamnelf @warhammer40k Honestly, as a basing piece, I think the weathering’s fine. Imo it suggests the war’s been going on quite a while there.
