Grizwald23 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I was wondering if anyone had any good recipes for weathering black armor. I am finding it extremely difficult to find the right colors to do it with. I am currently working on a sons of Horus army. My other question is do you guys think it would off if I use one color brown to weather the green and another color brown to weather the black. In my fast attempts to weather black I was using a darker shade of the grey I was using for highlights but it never looked realistic so I'm thinking browns might be better but the brown I am using for my green doesn't look right so that's why I was wondering if weathering the same model with 2 different browns will look right.

MordentHex Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 A rust color may work better for you. Like a vomit or beastly brown, Snakebite leather also can work to show scorching. so, browns of differing shades. Test it and see if it works for you.

irwit Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Have you tried using weathering powders? They will sit really nicely on blac armour. Loads of companies do them, I have the ForgeWorld set and they are pretty good. You can also make your own, just grate up some pastels. Im sure that would be far cheaper!

Grimm Blade Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 You could also try a metallic weathering which could represent "newer" damage. This could take the form of painting chips and dents and/or drybrushing scrapes and rubs.
