Great painting!

I really love the weathering/shading effects.

**NoBaconz4You**

The beautiful paint work is offset by the occasionally mould line (spotted one on the plasma cannon) and the bent Hydra barrels.

Otherwise, fantastic work! I love the weathered look!

I didn't notice it till you mentioned it. the Hydra barrels are a bit melty.

how did you do your white/blue on the models?

**Shepherd23**

The color choices are fantastic. I love the off white with blue combined with the rust on the tread. The weathering is great.

Only improvement I could suggest would be making the manticore's missiles a little less bland. They're very monotone. Perhaps painting the nose of the missile (warhead section) a brighter color (often done with such munitions as a warning to handle gently) could help this.

Looks like someone used a meltagun on those hydras...

Nevertheless, very nice work!

**Eggroll**

Very nice job, especially on the weathering. I have to agree with the others, the droopy barrels are very distracting and ruin the overall look of the models.

**SickSix**

It's a shame that imperfect prep work distracts from such great paint jobs.

**SkizO**

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Being a comission project, I did what the customer wanted and left the models as they were. I'm pretty sure the hydra can be un-bent however.

**Smitty0305**
