Just trying to decide on camoflage pattern! or no camoflage...? also toying with the idea of painting the turrets in different colours to the hull (e.g. a very light grey, white, or dark flesh sort of colour?). anyway, any ideas, cheers!

nurglespuss Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Updates in the first post :) any comments very much appreciated! This is my first 'big' GW model, despite owning it for a year! Can't wait to use it! or to use it as an objective in smaller games? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The pattern just looks to obvious to me, other than that it looks great. Also, if its for space wolves, shouldnt it have SW bits or paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi there cheers :P not sure what you mean about the obvious pattern... its based on extant panzer camo... Yeah its to go with my spacewolves (who are all desert based) but is still an imperial guard tank, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Good job! How long did this take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not long :) just a few evenings worth. Still got to do the lights/cuppolla windows and work a bit more on the engine (then dull coat it all) and its done :) Thanks alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0MMY Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Tank looks great. I love the camo - did you use a stencil / airbrush or just a tank brush? I've been toying over an urban camo scheme on my sm tanks - might borrow your technique if you'll tell me, but with greys :) How many points is that behemoth in a game??

nurglespuss Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi there TOMMY :) The pattern was made by laying strips of masking tape (to form a randomish triangle pattern) until the whole tank was covered, then I sprayed it green :) Yes I think you should use the pattern! it would look great in grey cammo!! Thanks! as for points, I think its in the 350pt range, can't wait to see if its any good (or even if its not, it was so easy/quick to make and paint!

The Angelus Sanctus Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi there cheers :( not sure what you mean about the obvious pattern... its based on extant panzer camo... Yeah its to go with my spacewolves (who are all desert based) but is still an imperial guard tank, thanks! Although we do understand that the original Marine legions did have access to the Felblade, which has allowed the tank to wiggle its way onto the forum, your current model itself does not have any strong indicators that it is for a Space Wolves army. Although the camo paint scheme is understandable, the scheme itself is not helping encourage the notion that the tank is for a SW army. In addition, the lack of any simple SW regalia or décor is not helping support the arguement that the tank is for a SW army. Unless there is any changes, either to the tank to support the SW support role OR your primary SW army to re-inforce the current paint theme behind the tank, the thread will be closed as it falls outside the purview of the B&C as the ' HellHamer' is classified as an Imperial Guard vehicle, and thus non-PA.

nurglespuss Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 You are joking me right? Its just a paint scheme, and the tank falls under the command of my growing space wolves army, I don't have to stick space wolves iconography all over it to meet the powerarmoured armies only requirement. The tank will remain as is, you can lock the post if you like, but, as you can read from the majority of the comments, folks are interested, and can understand exactly where I'm coming from. I think to lock it would have no positive benefit to the board, and is not acting within the boards rules. edit: however, on slightly more reasonable thought, I can understand where you are coming from. The tank is part of a theme in my army (on a crusade on a desert world, I'll also be making the 'opposing' army as well). I didn't want to add spacewolves iconography directly, but had toyed with painting a 'mural' depicting the symbols of all the space marine forces the tank has had the honour of serving with. I would think that, with the addition of the apocolypse rules set, and the flexibility shown by GW, that this tank can stay. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallvictory Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yeah, what he said! Nice paint scheme brother, those "desert" Wolves are gonna really appreciate the support this beast brings. Hopefully we will see said Wolves soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rythlan Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I think an easy enough rebuttal would be just to post a quick picture of your space wolf army. I would like to see them as well! ;) Edit: spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Lysander Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Whooahh! Those are some of the best Space Wolves ever! From their poses, down to the grittiness of their armour, and their facial expressions. Is the breastplate the model in the middle using an MK4 chestpiece? I like how you painted it gold- looks ornate. :) Rhino looks great as well, nice use of colours and lettering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0MMY Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hey (sorry for the delay!) - Thanks for the info Nurglepuss, will deffo be trying that on my razorback (will post pictures when I've done). In terms of spray, anyone know of any good grey paint (should I just get a grey undercoat from GW or is there a better option?). Love your space wolves, especially that razorback. I remember seeing it when you posted it last, its still great :tu: Let us know how your Hellhammer gets on in battle - I imagine it will draw fire from every single lascannon on the opposite side in the first turn!!
