Hi, guys I am pretty new to this painting stuff, I don't normally paint, I just play the game but lately I got an airbrush and decided to paint this landraider for a friend. It is my first time at painting a tank. Any C&C would be much apreciated and also I know I missed some parts It was only a quick job (5 hours), If I remembered to do everything in one go It would been quicker but I keep missing stuff lol.

Lastly, can I ask is this landraider good enough to be sold? and what price range would it be, my friend did ask tokeep it simple (no battle damage or dirt), I know it doesn't compare to the pro painted stuff that you see on ebay.

well, less me talking and more pictures:

More then table top quality, i like it alot!

Very nicely done. I'd say the quality of painting is definitely good enough to sell for a decent price but with that particular colour scheme you might find it hard to get a buyer.
If you were to paint something to that standard in say Blood Angels or Ultramarines colours you'd be set.

Colour change is easy, its all the same technique, also this is for my friend who asked it to be this colour (bright pink) so I had no control in that, basicly I uses his model as a practice lol

I really like it. I do think you could sell it. Never having bought or sold a painted model I could not tell you how much for.

If you are going to sell it you may want to consider a name change. Googling X-art will lead you to websites that really have nothing to do with miniature gaming or painting.

Its well done, but would really benefit from some stencils to create Chaos iconography on it - especially given the Slaanesh theme. Use some masking tape to make purple flames like the Flawless Host or just put some purple Slaaneshi emblems on the flat roof portions.

I think the glow on the tracks is a bit too strong, but good otherwise, really.

That was intended , since its slaanesh ^^ and yeah thats not gonna be my final name lol its just something fun I did using photoshop

It's a bit too pink, even for Slaanesh, I think. It needs some black, more gold, and purples to break up all that pink. It looks less Slaaneshi and more like the cotton-candy-mobile.

Also, HB barrels need drilling. Just noticed on second glance.

Ok how many of us immediately went and googled that. Purely for research purposes of course!

Very....pink. Looks fantastic, not my cup of ever-changing blue tea, but the colour itself has been done superbly, very smooth transitions and layering, and very nice glows
