To camouflage, or not to camouflage?

That is the question...

 

Hi.

I'm currently painting a Stormsword tank but am unsure whether to put a camouflage design on or not.

 

The tank has been in action on an ash based world and is currently painted Vallejo Dark Blue Grey. I'm painting by hand as I don't have access to a working airbrush.

 

Cheers for any comments and suggestions :tu:

Previously I would have said camo it.

 

But currently, I'm on abit of a HH'esq kick where I'm weathering / distressing all my stuff (including the Word Mobile that I just did). And sometimes weathering and camoing clash. So this time I'd say just weather the thing.

That base color, you can go many ways.  Masking tape for dazzle style, or stickum for blotch camo.  The question is, what is the them for the rest of the army.  FNG's on the ash world, or have they been there long enough to have a clue?

I'm more thinking of this as part of a force stationed to defend the planet against attack really.

 

And I'm brush painting too. No working airbrush and no funds to change that either.

 

Thinking of using VMC black grey for the larger pattern.

Ok...I added a simple camo which I'm actually happy with so cheers. Added a few decals too which I need to chip a little.

Now to decide on a chipping colour really. Thinking Charadon Granite for most of it then Terracotta for areas which have heavier chipping. Maybe bare metal after that too. Any thought?

I can paint it on ok, just not make it look right. I need to create a little collection of real life chipping images, the attempts I've made just didn't look good enough. It's on my list of things to work on once I've cleared my decks some more :)
