Welcome my friend,
No retardant , just 2 or 3 brushes OR simply one brush & clean between the different colours.
You'll learn to be quick but you will have time , it doesn't dry instantly.
I use this technique on minis also , in order to blend colours.

I finished my first gang, Orlocks.
Here they are in all their teeny tiny glory



And an other shot of them trying to score some sump cattle so they can start their own Hive Guys franchise and start earning some income :p



But trouble is a brewing in the underhive as rumors abound House Goliath is also looking to open up shop in the neighberhood.



I'm really having a blast doing these tiny conversions but after I finish these I think it's high time I got back to painting the sump canals.

Cheers,
Stroezie.

They came out nice Stroezie,
Hard to imagine they're so small .... got me thinking what I would use to make 15mm Gangs.

Keep it up

Very good.

[twrchtrwyth]

This is tin(y)-ific. Well done.

[Ockman]

It's madness, madness I tell you! Converting such small models... utterly mad!

...and AMAZING!

[Stroezie]

And the sump canal board is done!
Over all I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
It was a bit of a compromise between weathering it and keeping the thing even enough for the magnetic paper to have enough flat surface to grip onto.
In the end I decided to sponge paint some rust effects on the tiles and use some washes to dirty it up some more. I'll be adding some more dirt, debris and general litter as scatter terrain later.

Here's the whole board put together



Which seperates into nine modular tiles



Here's a few closer pics of the sump canals so you can see the little details










 

 
 
I also managed to finish the second gang,

House Goliath (Wasteland Gangers/Warriors from Microworld miniatures)




The shanties in the background are from Angel Barracks and I have a few vague ideas of making some platforms for them to turn them into a kind of vertical favela, we'll see...

First though I want to do some scatter terrain as Necromunda, and imo skirmish games in general, needs lots of cover for minis to hide behind.
I already have a collection of the usual oil drums, crates and jersy barriers but I'd like to add some things more in character with the setting.
For now I'm planning to do some loot tokens, rubble barricades, exploding mushrooms and heat vents. (feel free to add any cool idea's you may have to this list.)

Ok, time to go stat out those gangs now so I can try to get a game on and who knows maybe we'll even see the ever elusive batrep show up in the future. 

Cheers,
Stroezie.

Stroezie, you are a god among men!

I am extremely impressed!

[zrunelord]

Lovely board Stroezie.
That green yucky river really came out brilliant.
Great choice of colours.
Keep it up

Loved this thread- fantastic work

[von Lucky]

Lovely textures and tones.

[Ockman]

May I ask what you are using to build your ladders?

[Vanvlak]

The canals are my favourite bit of terrain so far - very nicely done
And the miniature Goliaths are brilliant.

[Mason]

What a great project!
Most impressive.
 

[Stroezie]

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, I'll keep building stuff without it but its always nice to feel apreciated

@Ockman

The ladders are made from plastic needlework canvas (aka. granny grating).

Cheers,
Stroezie.
