Heat damaged metal
Introduction:
A guide to creating a heat damaged effect on appropriate weapons or exhausts.
In this guide some of the paints used are the older style Games Workshop paints as I started the force before the new ones were released so I've also given the current equivalents afterwards.
The paints, materials and brushes I used are listed below the guide (in order of appearance in fine movie style) but it's only a guide and if you prefer using a different set of paints or other sizes of brushes or feel you can skip some stages then don't feel constrained by my choices.
 Step 01Base coat the area with whichever metal effect you desire, in this case it's Shining gold/Gehennas gold with a Nuln oil ink wash |  Step 02Apply a watered down coat of Necron abyss/Kantor blue over the front third using a detail brush |  Step 03Whilst the first coat is still wet blend in a watered down coat of Liche purple/Xereus purple over the middle third using a detail brush |
|---|---|---|
 Step 04Next blend in Balthasar gold into the still wet purple towards the back of the barrel using a detail brush |  Step 05Carefully drybrush the tip of the barrel with Ironbreaker using a small drybrush |  Step 06Paint Forgeworlds Black soot Weathering powder mixed with a little water onto the end of the barrel using a detail brush then once dry blend in using an old brush |
