Hi guys,

FINALLY I got around painting my first vehicle ever (first tank to be true... not counting the attack bike).
It was a pain to even find out how to do it.
The thing is that I'm painting my infantry using washes quite a bit, which is not possible on a tank (at least I'm not able to do it properly ^^)

So I had to find a solution painting my vehicles without using GW washes, but somehow matching the tone of the infantry.
It literally took me months to finally sit down for two hours and try it out on several plastic parts.

In the end I achieved something which I would call a matching tone. ^^

To make a long story short. I hate painting vehicles and I'm no good at it.
Annoying thing is that I have five more to go. ^^

Have fun though.









Ps.: Did some minor conversion work on this model to properly represent the Lucifer pattern engines which make it a fast vehicle as you might know.

Looks good, highlights great, everything great!

Looking Good. I like the engines, as it always bothers me why there is an open ramp for a non-apc vehicle. Well done!

Nice painting, liking the green mate, well done

i have to say its a great first

i know im still dragging my feet to get my first tank done... after that its 6 more and counting

not sure what your formula is with infantry but i had the same problem

i wash everything in baal red but when it came to the tank its certainly not an option

instead i chose all the gaps i could see from the examples in the codex and mimicked the depth with devlan mud

i wish i had could post an example but my camera broke on me

anyways nice tank hope to see more soon

I might spruce up the edges a bit, they're really abrupt and sharp.
