Wow those are awsome~

Looking awesome the colours are the best though, so crisp and clean

Young Logan

Wow! Those Vehicles are looking insane, makes me wanna play guard now...

Thanks guys!

@Onemanoodles: No the red is fine and how I like it. I just cant get the red right onto the pictures

@Kestral: No washes here. Line painting is my style, and washes can't give me the result I want.

@Masterdoobie: No hyperbolic time chamber training for me. Couldn't get to the lookout in the first place..
Haven't done any tutorials. I learned all my stuff from other WIP forums + practice makes perfect, how lame that might sound


Gave the Commissar a sword and a flying skull probe to represent a Refractor Field. Pictures later

Nice stuff as usual mate! Red seems incredibly hard to get just right in a photo (trust me, I have an army or red marines!), if you have some sort of photoshop program, I would suggest you play around with the colour curves, usually does the trick for me.

Commissar pre-undercoat:

Great work here, very inspirational!

Your paintjobs are so crisp. I'm completely jealous.

Finally got a Valhallan sarge from ebay!

He wont be a sarge though, but a verteran holding a banner:




Anyone remember these? painted them 3.5 years ago.

touched the left guy a little up, gave him a new gun and tadaa:



He is the first of a carapace armour vet squad.

Love those autogun conversions.
Are they just standard lasguns with bolter magazines?
What did you use for the barrels/gas-block on the non-standard ones?

The autoguns you see above are: Catachan lasgun with bolter mag.
A normal lasgun with bolter mag.
And the last one is a cultist autogun.

Nice stuff mate! Now I have to go back and look at all your older projects that I seem to have missed...

Commissar tank chassis sans dozerblade





LRBT with the turret. Needs some final details: (searchlight and shenanigans)

Best scratch built tanks ever!

That's might impressive work though Dev, makes me wish I had some talent when it came to plasticard.

Some truely awesome scratch building and painting.

Pretty sure i've subbed to this already, but no harm done in saying SUBBED again!

I'm in love! This thread is so deliciously oldskool and stylistically original that I'm really happy I stumbled upon it! Keep up the great work.

Wow, that looks amazing I really love the guality and how clean your work is

Bought a stowage kit from tamiya. I am going to stack the tanks with this alot! Will make pictures when I have some painted up and attached to them



For the Commissar tank I had the Executioner tank in mind, the one with the round plasma cannon from the Ryza pattern FW Leman Russ as I am not really fond of the current square looking one GW has at the moment. I started making the coil by wrapping 1 mm plastic rod around a tube I thinkened to size. Here is the result:



This will be placed in a wider tube so that it is embedded in the cannon.
More on that later.

When I read the rules for the Eradicator Leman Russ tank I knew I had to add this tank for this army. I always presume that this is the replacement for the FW Leman Russ Conquerer in some way.

Here is my attempt at recreating the FW conquerer cannon functioning as an Eradicator cannon in game:



Cheers!

Looks great. Fits the KV1 turret style nicely. The surface details on the cannon make it look like each section recoils into the previous one, which makes the gun look very dynamic.

Some fantastic work here mate- puts my Tiger to shame! Am in the planning stages of a StuG style assault gun.

Plasitcard skills, wow.
Yarrick conversion, wow.
Empire Greatsword Bodied guardsmen, wow.
Keep the inspiration coming man.

Thx guys!

Started painting the first Leman Russ turret. Added the searchlight and an antenna with a small banner attached to it.

Little crappy phone-pic:

What Nolan said. Put far better than I ever could. Love the painstaking work you've put into each and every one of these so far.

Thanks.

Got some FW stuff:


Put it to use on the Ripper guns:


Here is a comparison shot of the Leman Russ turret on a Chimmy:

Awesome stuff dude. I might have pinched your idea for doing the tracks on tanks- your work is certainly inspiring! My problem is I just can't get things to be exactly square (read: exactly to angle and fit) and subsequently my stuff doesn't look half as neat or professional as yours. Still, gives me something to work to!

Gorgeous. The over-sized turret works surprisingly well. Very menacing.

That's what makes the Ragnarok pattern the cool tank it is.

I have a Commissar tank commander that will be Pask in game, or Paskov since he is from the Vostroyan Firstborn.
