My latest handy work. The doors are an attempt to match forgeworld. I'm just not good enough to get the laurel leaf design sculpted. The hinges on the doors were actully pretty easy though. Let me know what you think.

Very nice, I like the work you've done here.

Sweet job!

nice job.

Great Painting job and freehand?? details or are they cut outs. But the only thing that bothers me is the lascannons will be shooting the marines in the back as they roll out of the tank.

yea thats possible but i can tell ya from experience, my lascannon marines SUCK at hitting anything. they miss alot. so if that tank has my men doing the shooting his marines are totally fine

Nice job. But why did you paint the ultramarine red?

The details are greenstuff, with the exception of the seals and the wings. "Veni, Vidi, Vici" was hand painted, "Honor" is etched into the green stuff.

I've always thought the crew of a Land Raider were more of the Mechanicus side than the actual chapter side. Extr proof from the internet: http://tsoalr.com

Very nice LR! Great freehand sculpting. Who needs fw doors when greenstuff is cheap! (comparatively speaking, of course.)

nice clean work good job

Looks good

Sorry, but I'm going to have to add you to the list of people who sicken me.

Very good and clean , maybe too clean but still very good . Forge world pah! I've always thought the tank crew were more ad mech too. Don't they come with the cog emblem on the shoulder pad?

The tank crew have mechanicus iconography, and traditionally paint schemes as well, however they're (fluff wise) usually reserve company marines. Which reserve company usually is dependant on what vehicle they're in... one company usually fields the tanks, while another does the landspeeders.

Impressive... most impressive. The emperor will be pleased!

Fething sweet job buddy, even if it is more Smurf Marines

Thanks for the support on the Mechanicus! But I've got to ask, how do you mean "too clean?"

Well, it doesn't look like it's ever seen a muddy, dusty or otherwise dirty battlefield, or ever been shot at or otherwise attacked. That's not neccesarily a bad thing, but some folks like things to look "weathered" to some extent.

Solid work!

Reminds of a line from the Search for the Holy Grail where one peasant tells another that you can tell someone's a king because they're not covered in gak.
BTW, does anyone paint weathered tau or eldar vehicles? I've never seen one.

the hinged doors with all the gubbinz on them are absolutely ace. thank you for sharing.

That's because eldar repel dirt at the molecular level and tau use cleaner drones (even in the midst of battle!) to keep themselves nice and tidy.

Excellent, clean work.

NOW DRILL OUT THOSE BARRELS!!

Seconded, that makes a huge difference. Have you ever noticed that in that picture in the rulebook (5th ed) with all the ultramarines (not 5th company) guarding the entrance to a palace, the assault cannon on one dreadnought is drilled but not on the other? Big blunder for what looks like 'Eavy Metal painting.

Thats exactly what I mean. Ugly dirty battle hardened veterens or nice clean just out of tha academy cherrys , who would you want on your side ? take your pick.

Eldar and tau hover so I guess they get less crap on them anyway.

I've always been undecided on battle damage and dirt. How much is too much? Will the mud match the army of the buyer? Questions I just don't have an answer for; so I play it safe with a fresh from the Munitorium look.

Looks great, although I have to join the chorus of voices saying: "Drill, baby, drill!"

Also, the barrels of the bolters need drilling out.
