I was requested to show how I did battle damage on my latest so here is the technique I used the most (I'm still learning to paint models so I try out varying techniques on the same model).
What you need:
Precise Paintbrush
Stippling Brush
Chaos Black paint
Boltgun Metal paint
Mithril Silver paint
Model
Original state
Get a small amount of chaos black on your palette (1 drop for those who have dropper bottles) and make the general shape of the wanted damage.
Now add a drop of Boltgun Metal to your Chaos Black and mix it up well.
You will paint your mix in the middle of your Battle Damage spot, leaving an irregular black outline.
[url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/122523-.html]
Now, depending on the size of the damage you will add a small center of pure boltgun metal and might stop there.
Now, for bigger damage spots you will add stippled (or painted as with a stippling brush) Mithril Silver towards the center of your battle damage.
Not Shown.
This tutorial will be updated with better pictures (and details if needed) when I will paint my next tank.

Added to "my subribed threads"....not that Nids have "tanks" but it can also work on buildings and a maybe some bug parts can get a little scorched at times

If your tank is Chaos Black you just had a small portion of grey to your black paint and follow the steps, it should look like a really dark grey or a bit washed out black.
If you added some blue to your black when painting your tank for a more realistic look then you can use simply chaos black.

I do like this method a lot. I have tried this many models and I reccomend doing 3 layers instead of 2. Make the first layer a lighter version of the base colour. Other than that nice tutorial.

Drop Trooper with Demo Charge

Used it on a combat shield on my assault sergeant, and it makes him look much better than if he was pristine looking.

An entire society spanning thousands of light years worships a dead guy in a golden throne by killing alien races with genetically mutated supersoldiers dressed in bright blue and gold armor.
And they call religions today stupid. |
