Just a rough idea of what I'm going for...

Picture is pretty dark but from I can see that is 1 grav tank and 2 wave serpents?

Green LEDs look really good from the picture, post some other pictures too.
Keep up the good work

Yeah I know the pictures are meant to be dark, the paint jobs aren't even close to done I've been spending a lot of hours researching and finding out the right colour scheme/type of paint to use etc. I have been wanting to do this army for about 10 years, and I'm finally getting it done. I have a bunch of jetbikes to accompany the tanks as well, but I am working hard to get everything done and will post updates soon on my camera instead of my cell phone. I have little natural art/painting talent, but I do have a lot of creative ideas so I'm trying to make the best of the situation and hopefully create a good looking "table top army" that looks good on the whole but not necessarily individually. Will keep you guys posted!

Updated pic

Looking good so far! More pics?

Good looking lighting.
What kind and size LED's did you use to light the crystal?

I got all my LED's here...

Very easy to install with a convenient on-off switch.

Disclaimer - No this is not my eBay store (I don't have one) lol...just in case anyone thought I was doing this as a disguised ad for buying LED kits. But I did use them and found them great for a newbie like me to use and get the LED effect I want.

This looks so awesome, how much time did it take you on each tank. My only qualm is that you used the same color led for the fire prism crystal as the engines. Aside from that great job.

Each tank took maybe an hour or so to set up the LED's and drill the necessary holes.

I am building a Necron board, so my next goal is to use LED's for terrain.

Here's the original piece I bought (it came unpainted)

I converted it to this..



and used LED's to create this...

*removed*

We can't see the newest images for some reason.
Glad to see you stuck with the LEDs and keeping us updated!

Wow! I need to get started on the Fire Prism thing.

Here are some updated pics...all of these are WIP I'm only 3-4 months into this army and the first time I've played/painted in about 10 years lol.

Pics from our last game, ended up in a draw.

Gah, Tiberium! Keep those humans away from it

Awesome work, loving the greeness of it all

Just a little sneak peak at some Necron Terrain I painted up, will have full pics from tonight's game later.

This army is going to be a work of art!

Pics of the table before our game!
