I might be a brand-new convert to painting with oils, but I have to admit, I am absolutely feeling this style of grime, slime, and muck. Being able to tweak colours, intensity, and fluidity on the fly, then add or remove oil paints within the working time is a blessing.

With the exception of the super-cheap oils (three tubes that will last until the apocalypse for under fifteen euros) the paints here are from ‪@TheArmyPainter‬ Fanatic range - those new metallics in particular are fantastic. I think Greedy Gold might be out for an award in 'Most Improved!'

BASE:
Start with a thin layer of Stirland Mud. Add tufts, then more Stirland Mud, working it into the tufts so they look clogged and grimy. Lightly overbrush a grimy, yellowish brown - I've used Vallejo Flat Earth - and once dry, dab gloss varnish 'puddles' on the base around the bottom of the tuft clods. Finally drybrush with Orange Ochre or a similar slightly yellowish brown, and done!
