Photos of my Baneblade. Painted it in a camo scheme for my Russian Imperial Guard army.

It's so clean. Refreshing to see something not weathered to a rusty heap.
I think the camo does its job, too. Good job.

Thanks soncka. I know what you mean about rusty heap baneblades, my friend painted his baneblade well but then weathered it and totally ruined the paint job

Very nice.

I like it. Great colour scheme and detailing. The only suggestion I have is to try to make the camouflage less spotty and circular and more of a blurry clustered chunky kind of look. Like regular camouflage but with your blue colours. Unless its exactly how you want it already, then good for you. It would be really easy to do with what you have already put down their though. Nonetheless I like it alot. Nice lookin' model fo sho!

You call that a Baneblade!? This is a Baneblade (too)!

You really should consider doing some weathering on it, like I have done on mine. It really looks good if you know how to do it.

I like it. I always like armies done up in a winter theme. You dont see enough of that...

Clean, I like it.

Like it. Well done sir!

@ sluggaslugga Your baneblade is nice, however may i point out that your's is a nurgle baneblade so should be all corroded where as i was going for a more factory fresh look for my ig. Also to be background correct i don't thing the adeptus mechanicus would let their baneblades corrode away.

Well... That was the only example I could find at the moment, since I don't own more than 1 Baneblade... yet.

The Adeptus Mechanicus usually fix or reconstruct their tanks after the war... If you don't want any rust, atleast make the tracks a bit dirty... (Maybe there's a puddle of mud in front of the factory that makes them immediately more dirty )

Frankly i dont like it (good paint quality but poor style IMHO).

The metal bits and blue blobs just make that tank a mess frankly, and not in a cant see it in snow way either.

As others have said nice and clean. this camo would be very effective in low level light ,and as in profile shot it does break up the out line nice job

Thats certainly a nice looking baneblade you have there mate keep up to the good work.

Hey, sweet Baneblade. I too really like the fresh, clean feel of it, and the bright winter camo colours.
However, what disturbs me the most is that there is no transit between the colours, I think it would look better if there was some in-between colour bridging the dark blue and icy bright blue colours.
Other than that, I really like the Baneblade!

Nothing wrong with having a clean tank, so by all means leave the heavy weathering to those that prefer the "lived in (then shot to hell)" look. I do feel, however, that the tank looks incomplete.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the camo pattern (although I do rather like the color scheme) - the spots are too small and too round for my taste. Placing that aside as personal taste, though, I still see an issue of detail. From treads to rivets, this thing is covered in details that are getting drowned out by the bright, even background color and the distracting camo pattern. A simple pin wash (even without subsequent highlighting) around rivets and panel lines would do wonders for you, picking out all that surface detail and helping bring the definition back into the tank's shape.
