Souitenesse Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hello, brothers. I am a long time reader but first time poster. Thanks to this website and its glorious contributers, my painting skills have vastly improved in the last few years. However, I have never been able to find a way to weather black power armour. I paint Black Templars, and they all look like they just came out of the shower. Only weathering I could do is making holes in the armor or scratches, paint 'em with metallics and give them a wash with ye olde Chestnut Ink or more recently Gryphonne Sepia or Ogryn Flesh to simulate rust. However, I would like to know if some people have a more realistic recipe for battle damage that doesn't include scratches made on the mini itself. I am aware of the painted scratches but they require a black lining to simulate the deepness of the scratch...and on black armour I can't seem to figure how to reproduce that. Same for vehicles, weathering black seems harder than other colors. I thank you deeply for your enlightening answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 If you do scratch the model, maybe a VERY light drybrush with a dark grey and a slight higlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
