Hello /DIY/ hopefully someone can help me out. Recently started playing D&D with friends and am really getting into it. Been thinking about adding some props/armor to my role playing and have a few items left over from past halloweens that I'd love to use but I really want to weather them to get a nice authentic battlehardened look. Anyone have any weathering experience that could recommend some paints/techniques? Thanks! (Pic somewhat related I have a helmet similar that I'd like to weather just not as shitty)
>viking helmet
>horns

To be needlessly nitpicky, people generally keep the gear they rely on to stay alive at least reasonably well maintained.
I understand nords/Vikings aren't a race/class in D&D but I don't see the harm in using that instead of going out and wasting money on something historically accurate to dwarfs lol for all we know wherever dwarfs exist, they wear horned helmets aswell

We've been playing for 3 weeks now so I think it's reasonable to expect my gears been somewhat scratched/dented
Adam savage has some youtube vids with good weathering techniques
