Hello!

This is my chimera, which took about an hour to paint. Please do consider that I'm no pro-painter, I'm just a tired 12 year old!

Enjoy!











Please comment and criticise it!

Thanks

that is sweet!
Perhaps just tidy up the edges of the chaos symbol and apply a little weathering to them?

Yeah, I thought that it looked a bit bright...

Consider blacking lining the chaos symbol, some of the regular armor, and the numbers.Right now they looks like of bland. You can do this simply by going to a craft store to get a fine tip ink pen. I picked one up fof $3 at Blick art stores.

Black lining will ad some depth, which will break up the colors more and make them be sharper to the eye. Doing these around lens break up the green from blue which can otherwise look a little drab.

its a good job, just from across the table top, the black line will make it really pop.

Looking good beside what is stated above!

Very nice! I like the chipped paint you got going on the front. Another thing you could do is take some rust brown mixed with some thinner, dot it on the rivets, wait a few seconds then wipe it down with a cloth to get a streaking rust effect. I think that would add greatly to the chaos-y feel you have going.

That's pretty good for being 12 and doing it in an hour, I like it! You should have seen what I was painting at your age...it was crap.

I think the chaos symbol actually looks decent as it is. Looks like the renegades hastily added it to their tank in the heat of battle. Adds that nasty chaos look to it. It could do with slightly more weathering as others have pointed out.

Right, I have improved the symbol, and the weathering.

WhiteWolf01: I did try to do the rust streaks,but they didn't really show up too well...

I did this without any washes, just layers and rust streak teqnique.


Rust streak effects

I really like it.

Great weathering for not using washes.

I think it looks great. Sure the rust streaks might not be as bold as you thought but i can see them pretty well regardless and they do make a difference. That and with your base color being brown it makes realistic sense the rust streaks be more subtle.

Looks really good. Just need to paint the vision blocks on the turret and troop hold and it will be perfect.

Vision blocks?

Good job keep up the work !

sry viewports, those blocks above the rear lasguns and right behind the multilaser on the turret.

I really think it quite sucks! but it is definately one of your best pieces! Haha I might be having to give you some lessons but no it is really good.

It looks good, nicely weathered. However it needs to be at least a bit more "chaosified". Some chaos symbols, vehicle upgrades or transfers would improve that.

Dude as far as I am concerned this is a great job. Seeing as it is renagades it makes sense for me that the symbol would be hastily and messy painted. The rust and weathering is fantastic...and for a young inexperienced painter...awesome job. I am not sure I could have done any better

Nice and detailed paint job, the symbol looks as though it was vandalized on to the tank though :(

personally I think it looked better without the black lining on the chaos symbol. it lookes like someone actually painted it on with a brush

Wow awesome model!

Nicely done sir!

Amazing

Looks great! Really good. It's done! I don't think you need to make any more adjustments to it. It looks really good as is.

That looks really good, definitely has a chaos feel to it.

Looks very good. Do you have renegade troops to go with it?

Yeah, check out my blog to see (part of) my troops, and other stuff.
