That's one awesome tank!

Really loving the huge icon on the dozer blade.

Can't wait to see it with weathering.

 

Also, what green is that? It looks a bit more like the old Dark Angels green from way back.

 

Thanks :D

 

It is a mixture...

 

Army painter "Angel green" base coat over a black primer with DA Green topcoat and a light drybrush with Goblin green, recesses painted with a watered down Vallejo black ink.

....Forward into Madness and Heresy ;)

 

Bah-hahahahah :lol:

So after a hard 3 weeks of magnets and paint here is the first of my 3 Vindicators...

Rest coming soon(ish) :D

Thanks Capt.S.

 

Just for you here are the starter pictures of my planned Knights of Caliban

This will be part of my Path to Redemption work ;)

 

And as an added bonus my 3 Spc.Ed DV boxes turned up today :yes:

That's a superbly detailed vindicator Elmo. You've made it look much more interesting than I thought possible for such a boxy design. I'm especially fond of the little scripts decorating the techmarine.

 

Now I see Mk3 armour - very exciting!

I have also been repainting some of the weapons to match the darker red I am now committed to!

PS. I only really have 8 Rhino chassis - this makes it look like I have loads thanks to the magnetisation ;)

Awesome mech army Brother Elmo, shame mech is taking a back seat in 6th :lol:

We tread heads know that good things come to those who wait tho...

What is next on the table for you?

 

Carry on Sir.

Thanks Brother Stobz.

Not too worried about the twists and turns of what is in fashion this edition.

I am not really a tread head or footslogger, the plan from the start was to build the 4th Company.

 

Next to the painting corner will be my HH Knights of Caliban - just been cleaning up the resin in the last couple of days and this will double as my Nov vow and a part of Capt. S's great plan.

 

1 - 10 man tactical squad with melta and Plasma cannon (old school).

 

Unfortunately I am also committed to doing a bit on my Tau with 3 XV8s and 3 XV88s conversions planned in the next couple of months. So far they are unbeaten in 6E :D

Hence my low output of DA at the moment.

 

But - there are more DA in the pipeline.....

 

3 LE DV box sets

8 RW bikers

2 Attack bikes

 

so plenty to do ;)

 

@ Wraithwing: I know what you mean - my painting queue is getting stupid now. Must stop buying stuff :lol:

I saw this a while ago and could not resist doing my version :lol:

Holy crap! I saw and did the same thing but on a Vindicator! I was going to do it for my November vow, but now I don't know. Compared to yours mine will be just like throwing it into a can of paint! ;)

great stuff here elmo (looks in the corner of the room at a certain red kids toy and starts humming 'elmo's gonna rock')

 

love the tanks - making me want to paint up all the rhino's, whilwinds and the pred i've got sitting around. maybe for a ptr vow later......

 

love the 'drive closer...' tank commander :P think this everytime i see sammael in a speeder

 

as an aside - always confused/concerned me that the vindi is caring a shell outside the tank. i can understand having the grapple for helping loading (despite the armoured marines being easily able to lift the rounds) but the placement doesnt suggest its useful for loading the cannon plus having a live highly explosive round outside where any one who can point a gun can shoot it just seems daft.

Same here - but since when have GW been logical :lol:

Oops, got distracted:

 

Inspirational unit Brother, they look sensational and really capture the feel of the HH era.

 

I have used your weathering advice on my new DW Dread, thanks so much for helping there, I'm not very brave so every bit of encouragement helps :D

 

:no:

S

Did I forget to say how stunning these look? It appears I did, but I've said it now. I love Mark II and III power armour and in black they really look like angels of death. Great use of the twiddly bits from the veteran sprue. -_-

 

Are the plasma cannon and meltagun(?) from Forge World? I don't recognise them but then I haven't scrutinised all the weapon packs.

Thanks Brothers.....

 

@ FinylCut: Steal away (can I say its all for "The greater Good" or is that too Xenos :lol: )

 

@ Stobz: You are always looking at the pretty pictures and forgetting to comment - bad you!

I will let you off if you have finished the THawk - I wanna see that bad boy fly.

Always happy to advise on how I did any effect - no secrets here but you don't need help as your stuff is awesome, I still can't get over your brilliant Sammi :lol:

 

@ Cactus: Thanks - the plasma and melta are from FW PLASMA CANNON, MELTA. Hope this helps <_<
