WarriorFish Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Seconded! Motion carried, we expect the new armour delivered painted and ready for battle by the end of the month :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Expect them late next month, as I'm still painting my through my standard dude and made a promise to get them done before Sending In The Next Wave. I've planned a Russ Demolisher, Chimera + 10 Dudes pack, and a Command Squad. That way I can start running Platoons rather than Veterans, and get a decent number of tanks on the table. I'm also attending Comicon next month with friends, and so in the hierarchy of nerd expenditure, it places itself slightly higher in order to make sure I can actually afford London. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I see tanks, I look at my infantry and I want tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Aside from the targeting lenses on the turret, and maybe one more wash on the bottom of the treads and plough, I declare this baby done! ETL III Vow 3 complete! http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo22_zps0538baba.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo12_zps5bae1817.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo4_zps3ec63fff.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo31_zps95661e0a.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo11_zpsb5005e05.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo32_zps8f0ea14d.jpg For my first tank model, I think it went pretty good! I had lots of fun! Now, do I dare a 4th vow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Very nice work, and speedy! Good weathering too. If I may make some suggestions it would be to dirty up the tracks and the hull around the tracks. Personally I like his Typhus Corrosion to add texture then going over those areas with weathering powders (as they latch onto the Corrosion texture wonderfully). Some decals, if you dare (though best to gloss varnish the area first, then use Lamian Medium to take off the gloss after putting down the decal. A couple of coats, usually). If you're confident you can get another vow done by the 1st of August then go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks for the advice on the track weathering... I was hoping someone would make the suggestion. I have a few pots of the Corrosion, and will apply soon. Will also apply the decals then too. Being new to painting tanks, I appreciate the advice! Basically, it took only a week to do this, which isn't bad at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The camo is blended together rather nicely. Usually you see such sharp edges but your work transitions rather well between the two colors. Make sure to gloss the area first for decals. I can't count how many times I've forgotten to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Agreed, some fine tanking there. As such surely you can muster another tank before the ETL ends? Especially after you've done such a grand job on this one :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 She's looking very pretty and factory fresh, excellent work on the camo! Now roll her through some mud, Guardsman! The Emperor likes his tanks battle-worn and venerable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Emperor likes his tanks battle-worn and venerable! It will be done! (also I think it loses it's grittiness in the pics). I do plan to touch up all my ETL goodies when the time comes. I still need to apply the decals to the very first squad I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after you've done such a grand job on this one Muster I shall! Vow 4: 2 Chimera Transports, each with a dozer blade (I love these things). One has Multi-Laser and Heavy Flamer the other 2 Heavy Bolters. Total of 140 points. None of the weapons are glued on and can be switched out easily (ie magnets). I will have this vow complete by August 1, or else, etc, blah, blah, blah, fire, brimstone and wrath. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo_zpsc185f851.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
