The Praetor primed and cleaned up ( filled gaps , added pieces from IG vehicle upgrade sprues ) :



Shots taken at Daylight . Its primed grey because the majority of tracked vehicles is already in a greyish / urban camo .
Metal parts are planned in gunmetal / rusty & dirty , except some icons , sensors and antennae.

Do you think :
- a irregular camo
- a regular camo
works better on this vehicle ?

The Praetor isn't flat surfaced and maybe highlights need more attention than usual ?

edit: keyboard won , words incomplete...

I think an irregular camo would work best on something this size, sharp and hard edged.... Highlight only if everything else is highlighted in your army.

Looking good mate, a couple of thoughts on the camo.

I think irregular suits green/brown forest camo with camo/foilage covers/nets and regular suits grey/blue urban camo more. imo. So basically i reckon regular.

Have to do both ?

Lets see if I get this done ..

First step:

try it at the side.



doesn't look much, but I think you get the colors I intend to use.


Step 2: check if it fits with terrain:

ruin and statue


Seems I can take that route, just use the dark grey like a net running across the hull and add some brighter stripes in.

Back to painting.

Basic layout completed.
Here is the camo-scheme ( needs correcting mistakes . )



'not the best light tough..

Better pics this time, promised.

Got the basic camo scheme and will correct any "lack of brush control" soon.

Actual status of vehicle:
( ammo is swappable without magnets )








What would fit as a wash to grey colors?

Good stuff man, looks great.
As for wash, very thinned black should work. Best might to give it a light coat of satin or gloss varnish to improve the wash. Afterwards you can give it light satin coat to fixate, or matte if you prefer. thinned black oil paint would be absolutely perfect though.

Great work man, how hard was it to paint all those green/beige warheads? Looks very fiddly.

@Meph: I want to keep it matt. The greys already provide that.

Isn't fiddly. Primed the whole thing in a light grey, kept the rest following the seam that separates the top part of the missiles.

very clean, very camo very guard
nice
