Over the years i have been painting spacemarine's armour as brand new and clean. I now want to paint battle damage and chipping on te paint etc. I dont want to go over board though! Thinking about my army (darkangels), i was considering that the marine of the army might not get the same level of importance as say a deathwing knight when it comes to repairs and so would have more damage build up over the years? Let me know what you think and feel free to post weathered spacemariens pics.

Thanks

I have recently seen some images of deathwing with extremely realistic looking paint damage. Was so good. The rest of the paint job was not so great but there was a lot of talent regarding the chipping. Thanks for your response. Good to know that they get a touch up now and then for their efforts. Wanna see some pictures of peoples efforts in this.

Very nice! Just what I had in mind. Rust is a nice touch I'm looking for just the right color. There are loads of youtube videos with chipping mainly on tanks. I hear ak chipping fluid is good, looking forward to trying this out!
