I'm putting the finishing touches on this army today, but while I finish that and get the final photos taken, I've got an update so you can see how it's coming together.

As before, there are lots more pictures in the site gallery here and here.

That's the piece I've been waiting to see. That tank looks wonderful. Very nice shading.

Is that a M60 turret?

I love the standard bearer, how did you make the standard top?

That tank is absolutely awesome, I love it.


Painter 6479, I recommend you attach that picture of the tank (or more of them) to your post instead of just linking to the image. That way the picture will show up on the front page of Dakka and if people click on it out there they'll be taken directly to this thread.

That's how I got here

And wow, what a tank! Great work on the short guys in general, though the dude nuzzling the plasma is a bit of an odd sculpt

Where is that tank turret from? Is it a giant conversion project or can I find a turrent like that easily?

Now THAT's a tank.

I have to say, that tank struck me as a Md. Tank from Advance Wars. Really cool though, awesome stuff.

I'm sayin you'd probably be pretty close on if you can get ahold of a 1/35 scale M60 Patton Tank. Did some quick photo comparisons and it seems to match up pretty well. Judge for yourself:



Photo is not a model of course..

Hey there,
Great Eyes, Infact, the M60 Patton turret is exactly what I used to put it together, I used the 1/35 scale for the demolisher,
I found a bunch of "snaptite" 1/48 scale ones that I will use for the chimeras... they look awesome!
all the gear racks and extra goodies mixed with the IMperial accessories sprue really does the trick.

Good to know I've retained some of my Army abilities ^_-.

This thread just gets better and better. I love the terminator looking thing.

So,
I seriously need some help with the armor colors, I am monkeying around right now with paint schemes, and all are falling short... excuse the pun,
Please have a look at the painted vehicles and give me some brutal feedback..
thanks

Cheers,

The green color seems to be far too stark of a contrast in my opinion. If you are set on using a green, I would go with a very very dark and subdued green.... maybe a Vallejo grey-green color (careful they have multiple grey-greens or green-greys). I would definitely go with a grayer tone in the green though. Right now it is just too bright. The tank itself and the skill of painting is just incredible. I love the old squat models. I have 3 or 4 of them in my bits box and have no idea what to do with them.

I like the tank and even though their is a rather large contrast I think the colorscheme works well. It looks very germanic or nordic.

That green is too bright to go with the rusty red. A darker green and a browner yellow might work better.

I will make adjustments accordingly, you are all right, it just jumps out, and I dont much fancy the bold green with such a drab red... its a little inconstent, I was just trying to avoid it all running together...
hrmmm

A new addition to my wacky army-
A substitution for my indirect firing Basilisk.

That is awesome!

Scratch built or kit bashed? (And if so, from where?)

Nice work!

mostly scratch built,
went downt the hardware store, got a plastic electrical box, some multi-flange PVC pipe, plasticard and rummaged in my bits box..
but all in all, took a day to hash together, and for as rough as it is, serves its purpose in spades

That is one kick-butt basilisk substitution!!! I like it quite a bit and would be very tempted to steal at least part of the idea.

Steal away!
This is a community for a reason,
I am sure someone will do a far more spectacular job than I on the concept

New Updates Coming soon!!

ALrght, Updates... As Promised!

Im awful with posting these things, can someone put up some of the choice images for me?

You can also find some of these on Cool Mini right now under Fleshtuxedo

If there's one thing missing in 40k, it's Squats. 'Demiurg' just doesn't cut it for me, the name 'Squats' is half the point!'

Great job on the paints and conversions. Really pleasing to the eye

Squats squats squats squats...

That tank is fantastic, perfect feel for the army and well executed.

I kinda feel like playing Advanced Wars now for some reason......


weird

I like how the army turned out. I love the obscure and rare armies and conversions that i see on this site. I was somebody to make a Chaos Squats army next! hahaha

I always asked myself if someone has a dwarf 40k army.
the answer is YES
