My first finished Leman Russ Battle Tank. I used a tank accessory kit from Tamayo, necklace chain, wax rope, and decals for detail. It was painted using the hairspray technique for added weathering effects. For additional weathering I used dry brushing techniques, detailed application of metallic colors, and I applied dry pigments from Secret Weapon Miniatures. It was all topped off with multiple coats of clear matte finish.

Really like it. It feels like it has a bunch of character and has seen combat quite a few times!

Yup, I second that! I like the kill markings.

Awesome, and great collage!

Nice tank. It's all I have to say really.

Cool. As said above, the extra bits really add character.

Damn. Very nice. I think I have the same accessories kit for my tanks.

Not bad

Thanks for the comments. Here's some more of my army.

One of two Sentinel Squads. I painted these a very long time ago, but I think they hold up well.


My first Kasrkin Stormtrooper Squad


The leader of my army, Colonel 'Iron Hand' Straken


My first completed infantry squad


Sgt. 'Stonetooth' Harker's Veteran Squad. 3 Snipers, 1 Lascannon Team and camo cloaks. Sgt. Harker was a custom sculpt using a regular catachan infantryman and some Apoxie Sculpt.

Nice job, maybe a wash to bring out bring out details. But like what you have done.

Awesome veteran squad. They stand out for not standing out, nice. Baldy on the other hand stands out like a sore thumb alongside them.

Those veterans look excellent, and like you might accidentally lose them in some particularly dense terrain! Harker stands out hilariously next to them. You've got a solid looking army here!

I lost a sniper team during a game, cammo'd up all nice. Luckily I picked up the terrain afterwards and found them. Forgot to use them the whole game... Something I shouldn't admit.

Nice job, cudo's for a grand effort!

I love the camoflage on those veterans, and those Karskins are an absolute work of art! What piants did you use?

Very nice.... I want it!!

I think yours and my own Catachans would blend in together onthe table. I like the paint job, very similar to mine.

Loveing the camo and paintjob on the snipers. Pretty legit.

Believe it or not I actually used the cheap craft paints from Michaels Craft stores. Costs about a dollar a bottle. After I finish painting I apply several coats of Matte clear coat to all my models. I just started investing in some higher quality Army Painter paints for use on my Space Wolves.
