looks pretty cool, i think that a bit of sand on the base certainly wouldnt hurt though.

I like the way the latest project is coming along, liking the double flame thrower head as well.

Terrain piece is looking really good. The weathering came out nicely

Thank you very much.

Propaganda & sand

Printed some posters i got off the goggle, some cool ideas hear. I guessed the size when printing them and some came out better than others, on the whole a little big. I shall also try and come up with some originals at some point for a bit of fun. In the mean time i made do with these splendid designs.



Realised i had to pick light ones to contrast all that red and orange, then cut them and dipped them in pva & water. For the front i wanted some thing big and a but cheesy so i went with the female commissar on the tank and then filled the gap with a mundane one. The notice board behind the pulpit i just tried to get a often used feel by sticking over the top of each other.



There was a nice flat piece on the side of the tank so i put my fave poster there, also with a mundane one under the ladders. There is also some on the back which il et some pics of when i finish.



and finally i sanded it with red Golgotha sand.

Looking good!

Cheers man, got the finished piece here.

Comissariat Outost

So here is the finished piece that spent i tonight sorting out for the now extended deadline Really i just needed to get it sorted and photoed before the weekend haha, or it would never have been finished. I'm just glad i managed to get it done really! It might not be the best painted or have the most interesting features but its my 1st themed piece and i'm quite prod. Gloat, Gloat.

Also wrote a bit of fluff, enjoy!
In the deep deserts of Golgotha, where the red sand is so fine it can enter a man’s pours and degrade his body causing serious illness or even death, if left untreated. In those high deserts where the dust is so fine it enters the power plants of tanks and shuts them down, at the least desired times. In those red dunes where dust so inescapable that it turned the very skin on the enemy red, lies wrecks from both sides. In particular a tank that gave up on her crew and was left to rust until it would be consumed by the sands. But war is never far away on Golgotha and it wasn’t long until war came back to reclaim it.. To re-purpose it , into a tool for the Emperor once more. A commissart forward base. A place where the heroic & feared commissar’s can get a hot caffeine and address the troops with rousing speeches! Where the latest news of loved and hated can be seen. A place where the men can feel safe knowing the watchful eye is upon them. A place where they know if there found lacking in duty they will meet there end as a reminder to the rest. Their blood lost in the sand.

stonned_astartes,

Well if you wanted to capture the theme: "In the deep deserts of Golgotha, where the red sand is so fine it can enter a man’s pours and degrade his body causing serious illness or even death..." Then you did with the terrain.

Cheers,

Haha, brilliant, don't think i could ask for a better out come Cheers mate!

Dang, I think so far it is gonna be between you and Cam, my pylons do not come close to what you two made.

I don't know, size doesn't matter and all that. And they are very well done.

Thank you! the trick is that all three entries so far have their charms.

some quick tank schemes, if i can find one i like i can wip out most of the tanks and it might inspire me to do some more tanks, got the next couple of models all lined up. just have to remind myself that wiping together a chassis isn't all that difficult. Also if i could stop focusing on my god dam orks :L Thinking an entire army rehaul really, go orange and bone, go with the original tankers theme.

Anyway hear are a few ideas, might do some more and they might not all have the same schema anyway.



I'm thinking this one but with less cream.

Hmmm, go in between the sizes of the light color, not too thin, and not so thick, just my 2 thrones

Your 2 thrones are worth many more than most i feel vik.

Yeah, once the eyes are sandy feeling and you get blurry vision, it is bed time for sure!

Not been up to much recently but started on another tank. This ones a annihilator, using the other bit of chassis from the freya russ. Also need to make a double auto cannon turret at some point.

annihilator tank

With the possibility of a game looming and my orks being no wear near playable numbers, i got a sudden rush of motivation to finish the annihilator tank!

Hopefully this lass-cannon bristling thug will be the armour killer of legends!!

turns out it wasn't that far off finishing in reality, especially with the lazy hull mount and the cool new sweeping round bit. That and the low stance of it gives it a really menacing feel to it, hope it will serve me well.







Thanks for looking S_a

very nice, looking forward to seeing it painted up

That Annihilator looks amazingly brutal!

The propaganda posters make it! Just read through the blog keep it up!

@stg cheers man, me too decide on colors is hard. Thinking of orange and bone.
@shaz cheers, think the double barrels look particularly good
@auxillion cheers man! Will do

Some bolter stand in for my tanks

Exterminator turret, meaning all 5 of my russes have turrets... 1 year in

Liking the look of that.

As the work all looks good, time taken is a plus then!

@ Alrick - Cheers, its simple but as often is the way, it also works.
@shas - Yes i suppose your right, wouldn't be worth it if it were done in a hurry anyway.
