But I have a fair amount of armour il get to. Iv had a browse through the masterclass book but honestly it looks like hard mode to me! Iv never really weathered stuff (to my Shame) What do you think the best way to go about this is? I have looked online and think I can chip the white, and maybe some edge in metal with pencils. What is this rub and buff I hear about? I was thinking a dab of typhus corrosion up the legs a bit then maybe some armour chips to bring them out or they will look 'factory finished' if that makes sense. Any help will do!

Kizzdougs Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I can't really offer any advice, as I'm in the same boat as you. I'd love to hear what someone with nice weathering skills has to say. Like you said, the white should be doable but I'd love to hear some suggestions for the purple :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Rub and Buff is a series of paint that comes in tubes, and it's kind of like an oil paint, but it's made with carnauba wax, pigment, and finely ground metal flakes, so it doesn't take days to dry. Once you 'rub' it on the surface you want, you can buff it to a high shine, hence the name. It has some cool possibilities for this hobby, but it's not really something you would want to use for chipping after the basecoat is already down.

Kierdale Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Shouldn't the Emperor's Children always be immaculate? :D How about sponging? Put a bit of paint (some use dark greys, some dark browns, some a lighter or darker version of the base colour...purple in your case) and wipe most off into a tissue. Then dab the model where it would be chipped and scratched (elbows, knees, shoulder pad trim). You can, for the larger areas of damage, paint some Leadbelcher inside the chips with a fine brush if you like. There are a lot of videos on YouTube about sponge weathering. Also, dusting/dabbing the feet and shins with some weathering powders can help a lot (to give the impression of kicked up dirt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yarickkl Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Paint scheme looks nice, I am going to be painting a Pre-heresy Emperors Children kneeling before his father. Is there anywhere that I can find some of those bolters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave them new 32mm scenic bases as well, plenty more to do yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 How I did it: Mechanicus standard grey (the base) I used a knackered old brush like a stipple but not as tough, and dabbed around the model with it, slightly more on wearing areas. I then did the same with rune fang steel, only lighter. The legs I used typhus corrosion on the feet, dried the brush off and dabbed around, all below the knees. My tactical marines were weathered more i shall get a pic up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
