well since i got back into 40k about a month ago i got a IG squad painted up and about 2/5 of a special weapons squad almost finished, when i use to play (about 17 years ago) i played tyranids so never got to paint vehicles much if at all.
So i decided to make a start on my 1st ever Chimera

just about to start with washing and inking and thought i would post a few pics and see what you guys think, all comments welcome

**Commander Jackurius**

Looking very nice, the colours are smooth and the camo is excellent. Are you planning on adding battle damage? It would improve the mini a lot

**Infantryman**

Looks good, can't wait to see it finished.

hmmm battle damage, think i need a touch more confidence first but you have definatley got me thinking about doing so now, thanks for the tip.

**Ailaros**

The only thing I don't like about it is the turret, which looks like it needs a Vardenafil tablet or two.

Lightly drybrush a little dirt/dust onto the bottom, and it will look pretty class.

**Archroy**

Looking really good! Look forward to seeing the finished model... nice work so far!

**Flinty**

Thats a really nice finish. Hope you can share after the shading is finished

**taopaipai18**

thanks folks, and yeah ailaros, that will be getting sorted also

**Element206**

That is a great, hand painted (?) , camo scheme. I like the defined lines and how smooth they roll over the body. Now its time to add some grit to that beast! Great work!

**McNutty**

Sharp looking camo. Hand-painted or spray/mask?

**taopaipai18**

all hand and free hand, including the base of adeptus battlegrey, really should invest in a spray gun.
