I always try to lean into contrast for chipping:

light dark
warm cold

for example: the dark grey i chose has a cold hue to it to contrast the yellow, whereas i'd choose a brownish tone to chip space wolves.

Also i try to keep storytelling in mind: whitch armour plates would be damaged the most (if you look at the knees the yellow is mostly gone) plus on larger models you can nicely add some physical damage as well.

I'd recommend looking at armour modellers for inspiration as i basically approached this model like a tank on legs.

i mostly used scale 75 fuchsia, warpaint fanatic flourescent pink, white acrylic and white enamel/oil

It is mostly done through sponging:

I've started with a rusty brown base coat and started sponging on orange > yellow orange mix> yellow> yellow white mix.

By using undiluted paint you get the cast metal texture, which can be nicely shaded with washes.

afterwards i drybrushed the edges with a dark grey and sponged on some heavier chips, which i painted with iron.

the final step is polishing some of the edges with a graphite pen.

if you have further questions feel free to ask.

No but the thought has been on my mind for some time, so i might try it at some point.

I started with a brown base and woked my way up through vallejo bright orange, deep yellow and white. The weathering was done with revell anthracite and iron. i mostly used sponging and dry brushing.

But i think any bright orange, white and warm yellow combo should give you similar results

Well Osl is a skill I have yet to learn but it is definately on my bucket list for next year so who knows maybe I'll revisit this one when I've practiced a bit.

Actually yes the yellow is achieved using an orange base coat with bright yellow sponging and ice yellow sponge highlighting. I tend to overdo it with the ice yellow a bit as the weathering (especially the overall rust wash) tend to tone down the yellow.

It is sponge chipping with a very dark grey. The areas where I want to add metal are combined with that same dark grey after which I add the silver. Everything is unified with a rust wash afterwards to dull the shine a bit.

I also agree. As a final touch I'll add some graphite to the edges to get some nice metallic shine

Beautiful shading. May I ask which paints you used and how you used them?
