Hey folks!

So I've just started collecting for the first time since 5th Edition 40k, and have painted up a couple of test minis (special weapons guy is magnetised) for a colour scheme I want to do. I'm liking how they're coming on, but I'd like some advice on weathering if you'd be so kind. Now I know how to weather, and the various methods of doing it; but what would you personally do if this was your scheme? I'm thinking that a dark brown chipping would be best, applied with sponge, but I know that weathering can make or break a mini so just seeking some advice/reassurance before I do it.

Also I know that I should have weathered before doing OSL, but I couldn't resist... ^^

Cheers in advance!

Don't bother now, it's not going to look right with the OSL already done.
