Hi all
I am in the process to starting a new WH40K army of renegade Space Marines, not one of the old traitor Legions but a warband made up of marines who have only just abandoned their various Chapters and lead by one of The Fallen.
The look im after is one of defaced/worn/damaged suits of armour, i would like to try and have it so that their armour has traces of their old livery's underneath the new colours of the warband. I have already tried to achieve this look by painting a figure in one style then over painting it with a very thinned down new colour so as to allow the previous colours to show through but it just didn't look right at all. Are there any tips or tricks to achieving this effect....i have tried YouTube but didnt find much of use regards figures, there were some nice whitewash effect vids for AFV's though and i guess its a similar technique i need to use.
Thanks in advance for any help.
