Captain Gideon Emitt Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 How do I paint scratches? Scratches on what? Armour or flesh. Pesonally I'd model them on depends how deep you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marovingean Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Armour: Black basecoat, just larger than the area you actually want to be scratched. Tin Bitz, just inside (quarter millimetre, literally) that. Boltgun Metal Chainmail Mithril Silver (last 3 are all at about 1/4 millimetre in from previous highlight also.)

olii Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I ment in armour, and I want them deep, like half trough the armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 search it on coolminiornot for pictures all you need is black, dark brown and white(or a bright highlight of the colour you are scratching) paint area, dark brown in irregular shape but flowing with normal scratch patterns, then highlight the bottom edge, and put a black line on the top edge, for deeper "cuts" paint thicker black around the edges, or simly use more black and make the hole/scratch bigger heres an example:(save the picture and zoom in) Here Starks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nil8 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I actually use the GW method of creating scratches and gouges on my marines. http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/spa...rmor/combat.htm Then to paint, paint your model as normal. If you use a black undercoat leave the scratched areas un painted then build up from bolt gun metal or if you want a more rusted look use tin bits and work up form there. If you use a white or light color under coat paint as normal then paint around the area in Chaos black and follow the instructions above. I'll have some new models painted soon so you can see how I do it. I use this method all the time since I'm building a White Scars army and love the idea that they would prize the scars on there armor and vehicles just as much as on there faces.

nightrider Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm with nil8, I use the GW method, it's very easy and versatile. My DIY chapter has had a 'recent' confrontation with Tyranids and wears the scars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdog Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi there, Saw this mini in White Dwarf. Does anyone know how the painted battle damage effects are achieved? Looks like it's just a line of black/dark paint and the edge is highlighted with white/light paint. Is it that simple or is there more to it?

NemFX Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'd guess small cuts with a scalpel or some other modelling blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 They're painted on as you describe I think. Dark line, with a thin light line under it. Edge damage may or may not be done with a knife to improve the look in profile, but the painting is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 They're painted on as you describe I think. Dark line, with a thin light line under it. Edge damage may or may not be done with a knife to improve the look in profile, but the painting is the same. It's all paint, as far as I can discern. I did a brief tutorial with Todd Swanson on this, and it's just the dark line over light line method. I don't think masterclass painters tend to hack their minis with knives anymore. It's kind of an affront to your abilities as a painter at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Looks like it's just a line of black/dark paint and the edge is highlighted with white/light paint. Is it that simple or is there more to it? its as simple as that (well with a few more colors to build up the shadow/dirt/scratch) the problem is that it would need a huge amount of concentration, a steady hand the right colours and look teal so although its an easy technique its very hard to do it as well as it is done in the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdog Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks guys. I think I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Might post a few piccies on here once I've tried it on a few minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexusnight Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I was wondering what the best way to do battle damage on black would be? I looked around and could not find anything on it so I was looking for some help. I saw a chaos rhino with rust painted on it but I am unsure as to weather or not that would look good on pre heresy deathwing termies and there tanks. any suggestions and pics would be greatly appreciated. Thank you battle brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumbaFish Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 If you wan't to do a chipped look you would have to paint it the armour something that isn't pure black, I usually don't paint things pure black anyways so this isn't a problem but I know others do. Here is a really nice example, its not my own but might give you an idea. Brother Micah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillardFlemming Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 A good way for actual battle damage (IE Bolter hits, lascannon shots), is using a drill or dremel to make very shallow indentations, then painting these a metal or ceramic color. Another way is to purposely do the damage on an accented non black part of the model, so maybe paint some of the panels on an LR or Rhino a bleached bone or off white for your deathwing, then do scorching or hits on them. that way, you still get the damage, and I've always liked contrasting colors on tanks. if you have any old models, experiment on them, and if you don't, then try some cardboard or scraps of plasticard. I've found many a cool effect purely by accident. Hope This helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Use the same method to dark line over a light line, but in this case use a lighter red/orange. I think/hope that's it. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
