WarriorFish Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Expertly done, I like the weathering and the overall colours used. Something I'm hoping to get to grips with now :) I'll be keeping a close eye on this vow ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289139-dans-death-korps/page/2/#findComment-3808902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Can't have a Death Korps tank without some good weathering on it. Definitely looking like the old workhorse so far, so good work.

+DAN+ Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks for all the positive comments brothers. Spent a couple of more hours on some rust effects and battle damage plus made a start on the checkered plate floor up on the gun deck. I think ill start work on the rear of the beast next,such great detail within the arch. Ok enough of me waffling on....here are some pics http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a566/dan87smith/DSCN03931_zps0593803b.jpg http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a566/dan87smith/DSCN03941_zpse8a35e01.jpg http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a566/dan87smith/DSCN03951_zpsb8afa687.jpg http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a566/dan87smith/DSCN03961_zpsd06d4906.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289139-dans-death-korps/page/2/#findComment-3809502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 This looks awesome. I would love to have one as a centerpiece. Where are the rules for it found?

I'm not a player so i'm not 100% sure but id say try the imperial armour books.

CoffeeGrunt Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The rules are found in Escalation nowadays, rather than any Forge World books. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289139-dans-death-korps/page/2/#findComment-3809771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DAN+ Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks for clarifying that coffeegrunt. Nico,for the rust i mixed secret weapons red brick pigment powder with a small amount of agrax earth shade to make a paste. I applied it with a sponge. For the rust streaks i just added more agrax and used a fine detail brush.

hendrik Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 i think you should try to darken the mud if taken in this amount, or have less lighter (dried) mud, like explained in the book you linked earlier ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289139-dans-death-korps/page/2/#findComment-3810484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I love the weathering but the mud is a little too much for me.

I know it looks almost orange from the photo but click the link above and see what it actually looks like out of the jar :) I love the weathering but the mud is a little too much for me. Fits well with DK though ;)Funnily enough for years all my tanks had to have that straight out of the factory look but I seem to have done a complete 360! I've been admiring the aces high bird of yours...uber sexy!

elmo Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think we all go through phases with weathering. When I first started I was scared to weather models and tended to go for factory finish, then I did some paint chipping and soot but now I am going with the sandy dust look and the oil stains too. Who knows where it will end :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289139-dans-death-korps/page/2/#findComment-3811397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DAN+ Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think that I.G and Orks benefit most from a good weathering job. I'm going to have to move onto some infantry soon :( .....they joys of expanding the blob.

WarriorFish Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Looks like those 1450kms were driven by the Stormlord ;) Fantastic work, the weathering and rust is really rather good and the mud makes it look like it has been churning through the battlefield to deliver the troops where they're needed most! Our first and only super heavy too - well done indeed, a very well earned completion :D Makes me want to get my Shadowsword kit out but I'm being good and saving that for ETL IV ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289139-dans-death-korps/page/2/#findComment-3818665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
