HWT Battle Damage Level 2 & 3


Yiyo

Recommended Posts

Hi HWT Family!

 

Having achieved the EIB status for my Stormtrooper SDS armor, I am now looking to take it, via HWT to EIB and Centurion status.

 

 

For HWT, level 2 requires Battle Damage, but not weathering. I can't find many reference images for this battle damage, what it should look like and how to do it.

Should I just take some non-permenant black chalk and "dirty" the armor to emulate blaster soot and field dirt, or what do you recommend?

 

Any help will be very welcome.

Thanks!

That's the idea yes. You want more wear and tear than a typical stormtrooper. But you don't want to look like the sandtroopers. Also focus more on black and grey dirt, rather than the brown/yellow/black of sandtroopers.

Great to hear that you are going for EIB and Centurion, Tom!  As for "battle damage", sometimes less is more.  Here is a link to my HWT Centurion thread, which will give you a general idea:  http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32195-tk-10963-requesting-hwt-centurion-status-am-20ata3/

It may sound strange, but the product I ended up using to do the "damage" with I found at the Dollar store.  It was a small ladie's compact of black powder makeup.  I also bought something called a blush brush there to apply it with.  It holds up surprisingly well, and is removable with some de-greasing cleaner if needed.  It will rub off to a degree, though, so if you use a helmet bag, put your bucket in a plastic bag before putting it in.  Also, PLEASE don't forget the battle damage on the pack!!!  I personally think it looks crazy to see a dirty HWT with a shiny clean pack.

Forgot to add... You may want to think about getting a secondary canvas belt.  The HWT one will get dirty... this way you have a clean one for regular shiny white troops.  And don't forget, no drop boxes for level 2.

I use the powder from scraping an artist charcoal pencil. The one's used for sketching. I use the same kind of brush as Joseph. Mine wipes right of with Novus polish. Easily.
