<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Battle Damage on Capes and Banners?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Battle Damage on Capes and Banners? this image from the cover of the Sentinels of Terra supplement from 7th edition to paint them as very battle-damaged. I've been (sparingly) drilling bullet holes in some shoulder pads and backpacks, and planning to paint on chipping, dirt and scratches.

However, I realized that my Primaris will look a little bizarre if they're grimy and bullet-ridden but the Ancient's banner and Captain's cape are pristine. I'm hesitant to start hacking them up with my hobby knife and don't know if it's possible to paint tatter onto them. Has anyone had any luck with battle damage on things like banners and capes?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744969/9706484.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744969/9706484.page GMT Re:Battle Damage on Capes and Banners?
Here's my feeble attempt (you may need to scale the picture to get a better impression how it looks on a miniature rather than a blown up picture):



In addition to getting darker folds I fancied painting a few worn areas around the edges by leaving streaks with little to no paint coverage. The idea is that the material isn't quite torn yet, but worn off so that you see less of the fabric and instead get a slightly see through effect.

Hardly an expert's work, but maybe it helps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744969/9707011.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744969/9707011.page GMT Re:Battle Damage on Capes and Banners?

I actually gave something like this a try last week.

That looks pretty good! Thank you for answering, I will try that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744969/9708002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/744969/9708002.page GMT
