That chipping is really nicely done - I assume with a sponge? Can you share the technique/type of sponge? I seem to never be able to get a great sponge for this! Rhinox hide?
Thanks Xenith. Yeah the chipping is sponged on using the usual blister pack sponge. Just a piece really roughly ripped up, loaded with paint and mostly removed on tissue before applied to the model. The key with chipping I think is less is more, unless you REALLY want something to look battered. I really went much heavier with it on the the vidicator dozer blade than I did other areas of the tank as it would make sense that the blade would take a lot of impacts and dings. For my colour I used a mix I have been using for a while after sticking mostly to the Space Hulk Masterclass paint guide. Darkest tone on those reds is a mix of 2 parts black, to 1 part dark flesh and 1 part blood red. Then highlight the lower edges with the highlight colour which is 1 part blazing orange to 1 part vermin brown. he bigger chips I use a medium grey rather than silver to represent where paint has been removed all the way to the ceremite.
