Bogatyr is done,,,,for now.,

Cameo as I do some work on that same Grey Knight force, Capt. Drago with helmet for him. GK's are too Overpowered to be that fun, and also I did see that they could lose to the scenarios in 'Ardboy tourneys, as they were not able to cover enough situations to be dominant! this years contests favored simpler armies that could have enough to do all sorts of the tricks of the missions!

well i expect the Grey knights don´t come as a horde army ... so objection wise they couldn´t hold out for long if someone would field a horde against them...namly IG, Orks or nids...

You might be surprised at what they can do. All force/power weapons and awesome anti-psy stuff. Daemon armies are totally boned by them. They can out perform many other Marines as they can take ammo that makes all ther weapons +1 to their Strength so a bolter now hits like a heavy bolter. They can be quite pesky to deal with. Orks could overwhelm with 30boy mobs, IG with massed platoon of same size or more. For Nids, it would depend on the make up of that army as well.

well the idea behind the GK is that they should be able to "bone" demons^^ bu i think it sounds a bit OTT to be better than average tactical marines or termies...after all they way i see it the GK are just a specialized branch of the SMs...well i know only the hardest and toughest get to be GK but still...

All part of the GW creed of codex creep, where each new codex is more powerful than all other codex's before it!

yup... i read that quite a lot...i know it is to make selling new stuff come easier...competetive players are likley to buy through their nose to get to the winners platform, but there should be such a thing as consistency and style...the way they are currently under way... the necros will simply stom the bloodangels and then the GK to dust...and so forth and so forth...

Plenty of forward as well!

Plenty of stuff going on the back too!

seeing the standards of paintingschemes on your bogatyr and perun you established the T-290 is in definte need of a serious overhaul...by the way what he too is in need of is a good name...since perun and bogatyr are so colorful names you need one especially for your command tank!!!

somethink about an allseeing eye maybe would be nice...

Ah, this was my very first major conversion piece, and as you noted, I have learned much since then! Well, with the way you put it, I shall name the T-290 "Argus" though it was the "Zhukov" originally.

argus sounds nice tho not russian enough^^ looked up zhukov and this is a fitting name too...chosen well...always tough to be between a rock and a hard place ^^

yup your first major one...and if you are about to optimize something for your command tank i would reconsider maybe the top turret... maybe you could do something to better balance it? maybe to the front flesh out the tower it is resting on?that might help...mabye youst a small structure addition...i think a small place for some extra secor arays aor something...

Gotta keep the 360 degree rotation for that turret! Not sure of any arrays that wouldn't interfere with that.I do have a few things that Might be attachable to the turret at the top that may give a more "command" presence.

Wow, that thing is looking more like some Officer's Land Yacht than a tank! Where is the swimming pool!

some plastic card in a trapezoid shae would for my part be helpful...add rivets^^ and maybe some spotlights...and your set^^

Aha! now I see what you meant, more of a support structure under the front of the turret up top.

I have to work it's cuts so that the lower turret can still come out for the storage/transporting.

It needed more work as seen with the turret on, so more will be done!

Now closing that buttress off! The upper section had to have more layers added to thicken it up.Added sides and trimmed them to match!

Yes, he certainly does! Now speaking of which, more work is done! I sealed the front and then got out my trusty file.
[/img]

Yeah, the original paint job took it for the team!
[/img]

[/img]

Then, another plate was added.
[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

Now I added two more plates, but wait you say! those ar big and look so odd!(Okay, I admit, like an Ork, I attach things as I go and then carve or shave then file)
