Well done, soon they will have to commission you to work directly for them.

lol.......thx Archer

Congrats! It's well deserved. Keep churning out the great work Jan, glad to see it being shared through WD

You should be proud

Few final touches, seal the powders and we'll call this bad boy done

Very nice Jan, she looks like a beast.

A fun one to paint for my first tank

Don't you know your first tank should be a rhino that you spread the paint on with a spatula so think it loses all detail and becomes an offering to Nurgle?

Not this beautiful creation? So utterly jealous. I am suffering serious hobby funk at the moment and your results are helping me much.

So what's next for me to be jealous at?

Lol. Cheers Archer. I'm sure I'll do a rhino some day! Right now am finishing up another two SH termies. They're just about done save all the jewels........blood Angels Urgghhhh - lords of the bling!

This is your first tank? Wow. Cheap and easy kit to tackle there Jan . It looks exceptional. So up next is some sort of FW Super Heavy then?

Mechanicum Explorator would be nice!!!!

So pleased to see you in WD mate! Well deserved. If you lived just a little closer to Nottingham I am sure they'd be trying to get you down to do a feature on the army!

Tank looks great too. Really good in fact. I love the subtle lightning that's dancing over the coils of the gun (which too, is scratch built IIRC from your WIP shots!).

Cheers Bottle. Was a nice wee surprise to get photos in the mags.Happy how the tank turned out. Think that design of tank suits the AdMech aesthetic pretty well....reminds me of the Onager Dunecrawler but the front gun was a little meh so I scratch built a lightning cannon.....much cooler!!! Basically just a cut down gel pen and some other bits!! Try and get some proper photos taken later this evening

THAT THING IS AWESOME!

Cheers. It's as heavy as it looks. Practically a solid block of resin.

Fantastic tank, just amazing, and way to go working in excersize whilst you game, lifting that about! Brilliant job sir.

cheers cam. defintely going to do a few more tanks in the futures. Like the look of the new Mechanicum ones. Have something a bit bigger in mind before than mind

Finally got some proper photos taken. Camera has been acting the arse all morning but we got there. The Skit boys have got themselves a new ride!!! Lightning Cannon and a twin-linked cognis las-cannon for a little punch. Here's waaaaayyy too many photos

'Course as the dracosan is incredibly old and second hand for the Rangers (at least) it's gonna need a enginseer to keep it going. Enter Adept Jajjung-Na. I actually really like this sculpt. I know a lot of folk moaned that he's a bit static and just ambles forward scowling but I think he fits the bill nicely!!!

The tank is beautiful.

Grats Archer

Jeeeeze, the blogs really are on summer vacation if a model as exquisitely painted as that gets a solitary reply. The rust is stellar on it, such good, natural looking painting and the additions such as the Skitarii gunner serve to set it off further.

The Engineseer is a cracking sculpt, cannot wait to see what you do with it Jan.

Gee you make me think I should have said more.

Ha, certainly not Archer. I was more talking about the volume of replies rather than the content of any individual replies. Speaking of which I shall now have a gander at your blogs Sir.

Thx very much T. Really am happy how the dracosan came out. Think she fits perfectly in with the rest of the ranger squad which was what i was really hoping for. I know it's really supposed to be a 30k solar auxillIa vehicle but I think it fits fine with the 40k skitarii. Like the forgeworld unearthed it from some long forgotten battle site and brought it back to life and service

Loving that Dracosan . Great stuff as usual Januine! Kinda takes a dump on the Rhino, doesn't it? Lol.

Excellent stuff mate! I love the Dark and gritty looking mechanicum!

I really like him. IMO AdMech should be a bit static, especially in their body.

I count about 178 different kinds of awesome on that Dracosan, simply stunning stuff (and I'm not normally one to appreciate tanks that much!).

Adept Jajjung-Na? Haha - you should give all your unit Korean names. Maybe the tank could be "no-jam" as I am sure your students love saying to you when you threaten to take away their smartphones if they don't stop playing Pokemon Go. :-p

Anyway, love this model and almost bought a Leman Russ just for it! (Thank god they now sell it seperately). And I have sung the tank's praises enough but I expect to see it gracing the pages of an upcoming White Dwarf now I have a subscription starting. Looks utterly fantastic mate.

Tanks very much all (worst joke ever >< I'm going to get one or two of the FW Mechanicum tanks aat some point like the explorator but some of the FW SA tanks really fit in nicely with the aesthetic (and fluff) of how I've been doing my own homebrew forgeworld. So one or two more reclaied SA tanks in the future being added is not unlikely Warhound Titan will be getting done first. Still trying to come up with a Legio name/livery and a name for the Titan too. I have time yet as won't be getting it in hand till December

Cheers Bottle - knew you'd get that joke ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ My girls know better than to bring their phones to class. Most of the homeroom teachers collect the phones in at the start of each day anyways. Mercifully there is no Pokemon Go here in Wonju. The only place in Korea you can play it is over by Sokcho on the east coast where I used to live. Rest of Korea is Pokemon No! Folk here are facestuck to their phones enough as it is.
Hummed and hawed about getting a subscription to the new WD (still thinking kinda) but its acc the website its 100GBP (about W150,000) for the rest of theworld which would make it more expensive than just picking up a monthly copy in Seoul. Shame really as I was going to go for it if I could order at the british price and make the savings. Ah well
Once this tech priest is finished think I'm going to do a full pic of my AdMech Taghmata as it's' actuallly quite a size now. Takes up two shelves in the cabinet at a squeeze! Still a lot os stuff I want to add to it yet though. Must get the start collecting box so I have a dunecrawler (which I think will go really well alongside the Dracosan) as a command vehicle and a squad of vanguard too.

Cannot wait to see a pic of the whole force together, it should look very impressive. I would also love to see your take on the Dunecrawler. If you got the Get Started have you thought what you'd do with the second Dominus? I really like some of the Inquisimunda conversions the Ironsleet guys do by flipping the body around so that it becomes a tall figure with a flowing trail.

And it sounds bliss having a homeroom teacher to take the phones off them. I remember back when I was a hagwon teacher and the joys of getting students to stop playing minecraft at the start of lesson haha.
