Gaeus Marius Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hello All, I'm not sure if I should post this here, or the General PCA thread, but as it's Chapter specific, I'll try here first. I am not really a fan of the way GW did the weathering/battle damage on the DA in the Codex, and was looking for tips, and especially examples from you guys. Deathwing are welcome as well, but I'm really looking for effective weathering on our green brothers, and thier respective robes. A little help please?

Chaplain Lucifer Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I use the stippling method that can be achieves with brush or sponge, Over the DA green I paint a lighter shade of green, usually goblin green. I paint it in a patch that look like a scratch looking like wear and tear. over that Î use another colour like brown or silver to show under armour. i paint it over showing a bit of the previous colour, giving it a 3D effect. I believe B&C has tutorials on it on the painting section. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242254-battle-damage/#findComment-2928627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I just paint chaos black in a small patch and then add some boltgun silver over the middle of the patch leaving the edges black like scorch marks - a little smudging in with a finger here and there to blend and it's done... simple.

he_plays_guitar Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I paint battle damage on green armor using dark flesh, doing little scratches and U shaped dents, then take goblin green and paint the very bottom of the scratch or dent, using a super thin line to suggest the light hitting the edge of the dent. Very effective, but good technique is important. For robes, I do a gryphonne sepia wash over bleached bone, then paint a declamation mud wash in the deep recesses. Mud and dirt is achieved with stippling, using scorched brown and drybrushing with bestial brown.

Brother Nihm Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Going by the axiom that the only good Dark Angel is a dead Dark Angel, In my first attempt I merely painted black with silver, on top of a basecoat of DA Green to emulate scratches, damage and wear. (pardon the dust, Terminator Lords suck :)) If I were to do it again I would add a little brown in there.

Gaeus Marius Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I was thinking of the light green/brown combo with maybe a little boltgun thrown in. I would be very interested in seeing pics of battle damage/weathering on both armor and robes if you guys have any. I am a very visually oriented person, and take my inspiration from all of your amazing work here on the forum. I'll try out my search-fu to find the tut too. Thanks again.

Zincite Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Well, if you want Battle Damage itself, apposed to weathering, I just drill it into the model itself. Shameless self advertising! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242254-battle-damage/#findComment-2929017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajae Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I go about it by painting on the damaged area with a dark gray, like charadon granite. On the bottom edge I paint a very thin line of snot green for the highlight and on the top I pain a very thin line of black for the shadow.

rathianfire Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 This maybe a risky effect when it comes to infantry, but take a hand drill or a tool that can make a round divit when you turn and make bullet marks in the armour Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242254-battle-damage/#findComment-2931169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
