I'll have a look at the tutos on their site, thanks for the tis (I should have figured this out by myself
).
I usually avoid YouTube things from GW, but those are worth a look. There are distinct methods suggested for each paint. Im sure that we can come up with more as time goes on too.

i don't really get the use of the typhus corrosion and rust. From what I've seen from the rust at my local hobby shop, it's a very thick orange that enhances the chalky aspect of drybrush. How does th ecorrosion differ from a standard wash?
Typhus Corrosion isnt a wash, its a watery brown paint with a suspension of fine grit in it. I was sceptical regarding its use, but found that it does enhance a certain look in a quick way (Im all about the quick fix, and thats what I am trying to get from these paints).
If you look at the feet on the Marauder Ripper suits that I posted you can see that their feet had TC applied. If you notice where I put the chipped paint (just Mithril Silver) you can see that the TC gave a texture to the area underneath on the foot areas. Its not a look suitable for every surface obviously, but I like the look that it give large armoured feet like those. Plus it was very quick and more or less foolproof to achieve.
Ryza Rust is an orange paint that can be easily used to drybrush, yet isnt pastel. Thats a rarity in miniature paints and makes it worth having just for its own sake, but when used to give a heavy drybrush/overbrush on an Typhus Corroded area it picks up the grit and gives a very worn, heavily rusted look. Nurgle levels of rust rather than Mad Max vehicle level of rust, if that makes any sense.

Rust--too thick for my tastes and better stippled instead of drybrushed. It will definitely require mixing with other shades of red-brown to achieve a good effect. It would have been better if they released 3 shades instead of one.
I dont think that Ryza Rust is really suitable for a slightly rusty look. Its more suited for the sort of rust that might be found on a plough that has been in a damp field for twenty years I reckon. Im not an expert on weathering effects buy a long way, but I do think that the Typhus Corrosion/Ryza Rust combination has uses, just maybe not the more subtle use that you were going for on your ogres blade.
Cool striped trousers BTW

That one seems to work exactly like the Ranger line, but with a bit more dry pigment. Have you used Ranger Crackle before?
I havent. By and large I have avoided weathering techniques for the last thirty years as risky and messy. I tried weathering powders and never got what I wanted eaily and without making a big mess. So when GW offered me a simple, quick fix, dinner-at-McDonalds sort of solution, I jumped at it.
