If you need to contact a mod for something, such as moving a thread started in the wrong forum, click the little yellow triangle the top right of your post and then let them know.

Not sure if you have seen these already but here are two excellent tutorials by the uber talented Gitsplitta. They might be helpful.

One on chipping.

One on rust & soot.

Those Necrons look like they belong to MajorTom11 so maybe try PMing him and asking him how he achieved that look. Or have a look at his blog. He may have explained it there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515817/5421079.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515817/5421079.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515817/5421101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515817/5421101.page GMT
If you would get a higher resolution pic of the models it would help. I can't see the effect you want to achieve.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515817/5421407.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515817/5421407.page GMT
One is to just lightly dot it on with a fine detail brush like a 0.

The other is to sponge it on with those little make up applicators for eyeshadow. You should be able to find bags of them at a dollar store or equivalent for cheap. They make great random chips like sponging on a tank, but on a smaller scale more appropriate for troops. They can also be rinsed and reused if you do so before the paint dries on them which clogs the recesses.

I prefer Mournfang/Bestial brown straight, or a mix of Mournfang and Leadbelcher.

I've also seen Tin Bitz with a some Mournfang Brown or black mixed work well too.

You could also use Rhinox Hide, which is a very dark brown, but I think on that scale it would just look black.

For fresher dings and scrapes, use a little bit of a lighter metal to highlight like Ironbreaker/Chainmail or Runefang/Mithril Silver. I personally think Ironbreaker would be better as it's not too stark or bright compared to the Runefang.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515817/5421522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515817/5421522.page GMT
