Just finished settling on my color scheme and recipes after painting a couple plague marines over and over. I love how they turned out.
I wanted to go with a "dry" kind if decay and ruin instead of the usual "wet" look of waterlogged streaking. I also was going for a mosoleum look of aged bone and gold.

What I'm trying to figure out how is how to add cracks to the edge of the armor plates. I've played very minimally with using white lines on black armor for cracks. But I'm afraid white wouldn't be noticeable on this armor at all. I also thought dark brown, but am worried that'll look just like grime streaks, and like I said I don't want that look (outside of the typhus corruption minimally in the pock marks)

Do any of you skilled painters have ideas on how to make the armor look like it's cracking around the edges with age?


*I wish my matte varnish was a little more matte, its krylon but for some reason looks much more glossy than I recall matte varnish looking.
