I am Legion Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 From the WIP section. I know it's not traditional, but i think it's scarier this way. It's not 100% complete, but nothing ever is.... I'm going to try and get my friend to paint some nice white wings on the side. But who knows how long that might take. I know it's plain, but I like my stuff that way. Eventually I'll add some purity seals and wording on it, but 3 weeks later, and I'm sick of painting it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I think I like it more this way, its not as ultra bright red. I like the gold-bronze lascannon tips too. It makes it look more..royal... keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 That is a nice colour scheme - I like the edging highlights on the black armour. I'm not sure if the armour has been varnished but the gloss effect really suits it. It reminds me of the artisan side of the Blood Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Actually the gloss effect comes from the GW sealer. It says shake for 2 minutes then spray, and so I did, and it worked flawlessly. I reccomend everyone do the same. Also the red is the tamiya red. Any part that is red is airbrushed, it came out really clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Maybe it's just me, but it looks a bit plastic (I havn't seen the WIP thread, so if it's meant to ignore me), I know it is plastic, but I think when painting a tank it should look like it was made of metal and then painted. However, it's a good bit of painting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtNACHO Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 is that adeptus mechanicua symbol on the back our very own Bolter and Chainsword symbol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 As for the plastic look, I think I gave it a bit too much sealer. Not that it came out thick on the model or anything, just that it's really shiny and looks like a toy. This is a very basic look, I'll add more wording in white, and some seals and scrolls later. Give it some life. I hear you though captain malachi. As for the B+C logo. You know what, I simply ran out of ideas on what to make it look like. I was going to do the white/black adeptus symbol, but I didn't think it fit. And I simply couldn't think of anything else, so I just went with the B+C logo. I know how cheesy it is but it does seem to fit the colour scheme, so I'm leaving it until I can find something I like better. Here's a pic of the interior: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
