WarriorFish Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Thanks Oli, I'm about to call it quits for today. Some washes are drying and I've had enough for now. I have a question though, I'm not sure what to do with the engine bit. Here is it as it stands: I'm not sure if I should leave the arch bit green or paint it a metallic colour to match the innards? If I get time I'll try and take an update shot once everything has dried Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/2/#findComment-3683354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I think I'd choose to go with painting it a metal colour. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/2/#findComment-3683390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Maybe Boltgun or the bronze? I'll have a look at it tomorrow to decide :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/2/#findComment-3683487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'd say boltgun. Having it bronze doesn't seem like a great idea, imho.

Thunderhawk3015 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I would say leave it green just so the work on the inside area pops out more. There is still all the metallic from the exhaust pipes that will be going in there.

WarriorFish Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 You both raise good points. I think I might leave it until the rest of the tank is finished and give it another look, it won't be that much harder to paint once the exhausts are on and I should be able to get a better feel for it. Thanks! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/2/#findComment-3684082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DAN+ Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hmmm what about doing one half a bone/white and the other dark grey/black like adeptus mechanicus symbol?! I think once you did that and painted the wax of the purity seals a vibrant red it would look ace.

Sviar Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Looking good. I think I have to agree with Thunderhawk on the paint issue. I eagerly await the finished resul wich seems like it's less than a day left.

WarriorFish Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 The seals will be red so that could work, but I'm afraid it's not quite that far along Sviar so you'll have to wait a little longer. I've got all the lenses to do and quite a bit of touching up along with finishing the heavy bolters and barrels - but it's definitely the home stretch :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/2/#findComment-3684276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Getting there, it's a bit frustrating painting in the evenings. Aside from the poor light limiting what I can do (at least not without risking too many mistakes!) there's also not enough time to get into it. I'm making good progress though: Not sure about the Baneblade Cannon, maybe I should have stuck to just the black wash on it? I won't get to pick up a paint brush again until later in the week so I might wait for the weekend and go all out to try and finish it. For the Emperor!

WarriorFish Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks, I'm eager to get started on my Platoon :D I'll probably have to spend a bit of time correcting mistakes and doing touch ups but I can see the finish line now.

Sviar Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It turned out great. You got to let me know how it performs on the tabletop. Where I play they don't use Baneblades... so maybe I should get one just to see if they can handle it Anyway I check back later to see the progress on your Platoon.

WarriorFish Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks, I'm sure you'll like the Platoon too I even got the GS out for it :) Baneblades are good, but they're best thought of as super Russes! So there are more specialised and scary Apocalypse units out there but none quite so iconic. I will use it to spearhead an armoured assault... and they thought my horde of tanks was bad enough before! :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/2/#findComment-3686804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Your work here is really making me want to get a Baneblade/Shadowsword (haven't decided yet.) It's as beautiful as only a huge tank with an equally huge cannon can be.

WarriorFish Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Go for it! I recommend the Baneblade, or if you've got the new kit then magnetise it and have everything! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/2/#findComment-3687776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm back to report the completion of my Baneblade vow! I decided that the back was colourful enough so the arch didn't need anything more. I'm happy with how it turned out though I've not done any barrel scorching as normal because I've an eye on the future for weathering and possibly the addition of a camouflage scheme but it's more than ready for the table top I'll be off to report my completion in the strategium and then sort out a points total and uploading some pictures for my next vow.

Dark_Apostle_XVII Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Very nice mate!! :D It is such a cool looking tank. I particularly like the Searchlight and lenses - how the layers of highlights represent light catching it. Will have to try that myself.

Thunderhawk3015 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Nicely done. Now you do the camo on all your tanks right? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/2/#findComment-3691240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks I've not even decided if I'll do a camouflage scheme, but given how many tanks I have it's becoming increasingly unlikely Besides I think I've grown to like the plan green tanks The lenses are fairly easy - just a little time consuming. I blend a couple of colours together, give it an appropriate wash and gloss it The searchlight didn't photograph very well, looks a little flat colour wise I probably should have waited for the varnish to dry before taking the pictures but I was too eager to complete the vow Through the Warp, to near and far,To Tallarn, Lethe and Ultramar,The Emperor points and we obey,Through the Warp and far away. Platoon Command Squad: Infantry Squad 1: Infantry Squad 2: I did some GS for them too as I said, a couple of beret heads and I fashioned a slung lasgun for the standard bearer so he can have his gun but still be pointing his comrades to glory. Standard bearer's lasgun: Standard bearer: I'm quite pleased with him, I'm sure he'll be leading glorious charges in no time The HWTs are pretty old, they were the ones I was considering for ETL II but wisely left them out. I also used some of the CS box officer arms for a couple of models including the banner soldier, it was a bit of a pain cutting and filing the sleeves down so there were normal Guardsman ones but I didn't want anything to stand out. The entire vow is models I wanted to do so I shoved them all together with a few more troopers so I could make a full Platoon. Not like you can have too many troopers anyway right? Oh and speaking of old; this vow was made from a 20 man box still in the cellophane!

WarriorFish Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks guys, the lenses are the trick up my sleeve to make people think I'm better at painting than I really am I thoroughly enjoyed making and painting this kit, if I didn't already have the Platoon assembled and promised for the ETL I'd probably be working on my Shadowsword. It's unlikely I'll squeeze that in as well as I won't have time to fully magnetise it as I intend, but I'm aiming to put an order in for some normal sized tanks soon for vow 3 My schedule is extremely busy towards the end of the ETL so I've got to make as much progress as I can now! Oh, and check out the 360 degree rotation picture on the GW site for the Baneblade. I used it to double check a few things like lenses and I was very disappointed with the state of the model. Shameful really, you'd expect so much better for a model they're trying to sell!

Kriegsmacht Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Sweet tank and can't wait to see your men completed. Although your earlier post did make me sad and miss the old 20 man box set.
