Ldorte Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 So I've acquired yet another secondhand baneblade for a very small amount of money, I have no need for 2 yet alone 3 so I'm gonna paint this one up to a decent standard and sell it on. I've decided on a desert scheme but need ideas, anyone got some good examples/suggestions for desert camo that would look good on a super heavy?

WarriorFish Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Tallarn has quite a nice tank scheme, though I might be a little biased! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295265-baneblade/#findComment-3778922 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ldorte Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hmmm, bit of rust and a lot of desert yellow. Not too time consuming at least! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295265-baneblade/#findComment-3778976 Share on other sites More sharing options...

march10k Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 the green and yellow one? Not to desert-y! It's pretty, but I don't think it goes with the infantry very well...

WarriorFish Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Possibly a sign of distress? Have you decided on a scheme yet Ldorte, or do you need a few more ideas? Maybe we can find some different examples from real life to help!

Ldorte Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Found some british ww2 desert camo, but I'm not sure it suits the baneblade. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll171/satanaka4711/Matilda08_zps7a7c954d.jpg I'm leaning towards a single block colour with some sections done in a darker shade (probably a desert yellow) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295265-baneblade/#findComment-3779859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Good old Matilda, though I was always more partial to the Crusader as it looked really cool. That sounds like it'll be a good scheme, though I'd hold off once you've done the first block colour for a day or two to see if you like that enough by itself :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295265-baneblade/#findComment-3780103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I always assumed they were related to the amphibious nature of the tank somehow... probably best not to delve too deeply into GW vehicle design for that way madness lies :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295265-baneblade/#findComment-3780630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 No way, compare them to the 'tilda! That's PRECISELY where they got that design feature from. And I'm sure they know no more than I do about their function! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295265-baneblade/#findComment-3781030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldorte Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Well picked up a couple leman russ to sell alongside the baneblade, thought i'd start with them to get a good technique down for this colour scheme. So far we just have primer: http://i.imgur.com/lmNkeXZ.jpg?1 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295265-baneblade/#findComment-3799711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 A good start, can't wait to see more tanks done :) How have you applied the paint? From the picture it looks like it might be a little thick, but that could be the light on it?

Ldorte Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Was a spray can, unfortunately I was fighting the wind a little so a couple of areas are thicker than others, it's not too bad though. Will probably do it in the garage next time.
