Space Wolf test model- Trying Battle damage

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm going for a grittier and darker look to my Wolves than my usual fairly bright and clean style and this is what I 've managed for the test model.

Does anyone have any tips or advice for painting battle damage and weathering models?

Cheers. :)

Very, very nice looking. I especially like the dark grey (your recipe perhaps?). Also, the shoulder pads should be mentioned as having turned out very well.

 

He can stand as is and look pretty awesome on the table. I think it wouldn't hurt to look at some chipping and scratches. One possible combination would be a terra cotta color, which is a bit duller, but will stand out from your grey enough. Then you can follow up with either metal in the interior of the chipping or use a lighter grey to highlight a few edges to give it that two dimensional depth.

 

Brilliant model, no matter what.

very good looking brother - I'm a little biased on the GC symbol (have it tatted on my right shoulder...) - the only thing I might say is perhaps a little more damage, thinking on the greaves and helm, but even left as it is it looks great :)

The grey is really simple. Basecoat Eshin Grey, Agrax wash, Dawnstone edge highlights and then another edge highlight with Administratum Grey.

 

I'll try out some brown paints to see how they look for the scratches compared to the black.

 

Thanks all! :)
