Hey, been awhile since i posted on here but im back in the game, i\'ve taken a break and after much thought have decided to collect a Daemonhunters army in 40K (i can alsmost hear the cries of annoyance at that thought).
To add contrast between the Grey Knights and stormtrooprs i want the troopers to look like they\'re fighting hard to keep up and taking a beating in the process. so i\'ve added scapes to the armour but they could still use that little bit extra.
also how the hell will i make my sergants flesh portray the same image. im not an amazing painter but i always like a challenge so any anfd all sugestion welcom
when i can find the camera i will take some pics, but i cant garentee the quality will b anygood; thanks in advanced

Give him a good old-fashioned head bandage, for starters

That bloke looks suspiciously happy receiving head bandages... Maybe he\'s in shock.

You might try thin pieces of tape or paper glued on to look like a bandage.

Nah, it\'s his \"million dollar wound\" and he gets to go home.

I\'ve done rather nice lo9oking bandages over eyes by using gauze cut down to size and brushed over with a bit of super glue then painted as needed.

The top article right now is on how to apply bruises to models, it may help. Scars would work. Muddy dirty faces. I\'m sure there\'s quite a few ways to weather a soldier.

The Catachan heads with bananas easily turn into bandages if you know someone with some spare.

???
Bananas turning into bandages? What kind of minis are they? lol

he\'s trying to make monkeys out of us

Have you not heard of Catachan Bananas? Its how they manage to survive such a deadly hellhole. Helps them grow up big and strong so they can wrestle catachan devils to the ground and tear thier throats out with thier teeth.

And they use the banana peels to make the ground slippery for their enemies.

Back on topic, rent or borrow the film Stalingrad. Pay particular attention to the scene where they get off the train and are marching past the wounded. Loads of great examples of horrific, yet survivable wounds.
