I've recently started some classic Preatorian guardsmen (for commission). So far, I've painted up a lieutenant and one Leman Russ:

The idea for the tank color scheme is that it is in dress colors (like the guardsmen themselves) and then left in the field for a while (justifying the battle damage).

Commentary of all kinds is welcome.

I like the Russ. The weathering is very well done and actually makes the bright colours work on a battlefield.

Looks really good keep up the work.

I must say the Russ is really impressive, if only i could paint tanks that well.

**brother_zach**

Very nice work as always. i really liked your movie marines on the B&C.

**Oshunai**

I really like the Russ. Its just different in a good way to the usual tank colour schemes I seem to see.

**Dakka_Dok**

I agree with CC above, great Russ!

Everyone else has already extolled the virtues of the tank (which is very cool btw), so I'm going to say how great the lt looks instead

Good to see some Preatorian goodness; I really need to finish mine up.

Are you going to post up more pics as you go? I just sold some 120 Preatorians to a buddy, he might take some inspiration from your work as to use when he begins his painting of them. Nice work.

Sweet.

I don't always get pics of every mini that I paint (especially if I do several similar paintjobs) but I think I have a special place in my heart for Preatorians. I'll make sure to post them up.
