If anyone has seen the new SM codex there are several very well painted models in their, particularly the blue and white half or quartered ones. Now, the have some very well worked in battle damaged - understated in both quantity and the highlighting.

Any ideas how it is done. Just take a pin vice and knife to the model, paint as normal and then paint in battle damage?

physically damagin' the model is one option...
the other is to paint the damage...chips and scratches are easy to paint, as one doesn't have to be too careful...

cheers
