The rust was painted with various washes of brown and then dry brushed in steps from very dark to quite light. I also spatterd some Vallejo Orange Rust on the final pass.
Browns, Oranges, Ochres, Dark Browns, Reds and Purples were used in various quantities to get the (albeit quite basic) effect. I tried to keep it random in order to make it look more natural.
I added some sand to my washes to give the rust a bit of texture. Top coats were then painted atop a layer of hairspray so that it could be removed later.
My cast pieces were also carved into with a dremel tool in various ways to give the figure more of a worn/abandoned look.

The stone wall is sculpted from DAS air dry clay. It took quite a while to dry!
