I like it.
Could you comment on how you did the rust?

The rust was done by dusting generous amounts of Vallejo pigment powders into the cracks and crevasses, then fixed them in place by flowing white spirit (or as my can says odorless mineral spirits), and letting it dry, then I fixed it with dullcoat.

An uncharacteristically dark and understated model, for 40k. I quite like it, though - both realistic and menacing.

I forgot to mention I airbrushed Tamiya gloss clear over it before adding the powders...
Thank you for the comments, please keep them coming. Any and all critiques are welcome
Edited for clarity

Out of curiosity, what is the function of the gloss coat pre-powder?
EDIT: Nevermind. I just looked up what "white spirits" was. I'm guessing then that the gloss coat is to protect the plastic/paint against from the solvent.

Exactly. I also did an oil wash, which can also damage the finish Automatically Appended Next Post:  oadie wrote:An uncharacteristically dark and understated model, for 40k. I quite like it, though - both realistic and menacing.
The dang thing never makes it past turn 2, so it at least better look menacing...
