Afew Pics of my Leman Russ diorama.All figures are GW, ruins and pipes were purchased from Ebay.Tree is scratchbuilt. Painted with citadel/Allclad and Tamiya. Weathered with MIG washes and pigments

That's an awesome looking diorama, i especially like the inverted v formation you have your gaurdsman in, it looks cool.

Hey thats got a nice gritty realism about it; I've got a feeling those Guard aren't going to know what hit them!

Great stuff! you're hard work paid off, it's fantastic!

I like it very much, but I have a couple of queries:

1: The posing of the Crisis Suit doesn't look very realistic, somehow he's been blown off his feet, yet his feet remain fixed in place on the ground? Also, the arms are in an odd position, if he had died surely they would have gone limp rather than stay locked like he's running?

2: The Stealth Suits. It seems odd that they are hiding in cover, as they would look better and more realistic if they were in the open and camoflauged (even if it was just in dark shadows).

Very nice scene.

Really neat scene.

This is great, love it.

Very cool, dont often see too many ones with IG and Tau especially larger than single models

Nice work.

Ummm... there is a definite lack of broadside blowing the tank up here...

Just kidding. Great diorama! Good work!

thanks for the positive response.Glad you like it

Those stealthsuits look like they're ready to kick some ass!

Really cool! Lots of neat little details to feast over. How long did this piece take you?

Also, is the Demolisher driver's front hatch open? That is going to be rough once the bullets start flying.

This is really cool, it's nice to see a Guard diorama. The bat is random though lol

Very nice diorama, i love the tau.

Great concept. Good execution.

Which ebay seller did you source the pipeline and duct from?

all in all it took about four and a half months, I did alot of experimenting with the camo and weathering on the tank, which took up alot of time. applying the mud was the last and most nerve wracking process, once its on the model you cant get it off.

Hehe....i smell an ambush!!!

And wait, you bought that pipe off ebay? It looks like you could have done just fine with PVC pipe...

Maybe the suits locked down.


Loving the piece! Would've liked a close up of the stealth suits

good work

Great work

Nice paint job but the figures lack movment its a bit to static for my tastes

Unless those Stealthsuits are packing some serious heat they're gonna be turned into chunky salsa by that Demolisher Cannon.

Looks really good, for a second I forgot it was a diorama and thought I was looking into the 41st millennium! Awesome.
