Seahawk Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Finally got around to getting my Leman Russes painted up, in urban camo. I have many more tanks to go, but here's the beginning. By the way, I do not suggest painting a squadron of tanks as you would a squad of dudes...ha. I've gotten all of these second hand, so you'll see some...irregularities. Mostly including thicker paint and strange deformities, resulting in decal sadness. Ah well, on to the vehicles!

scatmandoo Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Love it. They all look amazing. Is that a Conqueror there in amongst the home brew demolisher's?

Flint13 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Tanks! Indeed. That is a pretty sweet armored column you have going. All about dat ordinance ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299683-tanks-picture-heavy/#findComment-3871011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Nice work. The detailing is subtle and I especially like the heat stress on the exhausts. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299683-tanks-picture-heavy/#findComment-3871016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 So beautiful... I love the weathering, subtle but effective and the colour scheme overall is great - nice and gritty. They no doubt please the Omnissiah immensely! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299683-tanks-picture-heavy/#findComment-3871021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsev Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This is really cool... Get more done quick!!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299683-tanks-picture-heavy/#findComment-3871024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 @scatmandoo: Everyone thinks it is, but actually it's a Ryza pattern LRBT. Since it differs from the rest of my LRBT's though, I use it as an Eradicator. @Flint: It's all about dat BANG. :lol: @tomsev: I know! I just said though that painting quick is rough. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299683-tanks-picture-heavy/#findComment-3871043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Lovely! I particularly like the plasma coils. You can see power throbbing! And the vision blocks are very nice. I've never seen black/grey before but it looks really good.

Seahawk Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yea, I looked at pictures of tanks to see what vision blocks really look like when they're not lit, and that was the result. Blackish greyish clear or something. I've gotten into the habit of doing vehicle mounted plasma coils in that pulsating fashion. See my titan for another example! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299683-tanks-picture-heavy/#findComment-3871398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yeah the coils are very effective, must have taken a while to get right though. I didn't notice the lenses first time around but they look good, help keep the vehicle theme nice and neat :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299683-tanks-picture-heavy/#findComment-3871564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomkapow Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Wow...those look awesome. I like the smoke launchers on the bottom of them as well as the barrel on 131. Keep it up. Wouldn't mind seeing a Baneblade painted in this fashion.

CoffeeGrunt Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 A lovely tank company, especially love the Plasma Coil paintjob, may steal that one from you for my Ryza Executioner in Big Guns! Like the way it shows the energy flowing across the coils. Your colour scheme is a cool form of urban camo too, liking the weathering and I echo the calls for a Baneblade to join the battalion.

WarriorFish Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Well said both, a Baneblade would look ace given this treatment - perhaps even in time for ETL IV?

Disciple of Caliban Sgt Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Seahawk is the Dauntless a Forgeworld or is it a conversion job? Love the Ryza pattern Battle Cannon did it come together fairly well or was it a difficult conversion?

scatmandoo Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Seahawk is the Dauntless a Forgeworld or is it a conversion job? Love the Ryza pattern Battle Cannon did it come together fairly well or was it a difficult conversion? It is a Stygies 3 vanquisher turret from Forgeworld. And after looking it is a Ryza battle cannon turret not a executioner as was previously thought. Good spot Disciple. Good looking turrets though.

Slips Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 O_o Damn thats a lot of beautiful armor you've got there! Just wondering, some spots look...melted. Was that intentional or a happy accident? Because they look great and add a lot of character to the individual tanks.

Seahawk Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 @Boomkapow and the rest: I'm trying to find a Baneblade on the cheap, but no luck yet. When I got this lot done, I started looking longingly at it, so not to fear there will be a centerpiece to this column! I still have two Manticores and three Chimeras on the work bench, so one (dozen) things at a time. :P The Dauntless is a Stygies VIII turret (known for its shorter barrel but higher velocity), and the Ordinatus is a Modified Ryza LR turret. The Mortis' turret I converted from spare parts, and same goes for 133; I'd built the Shadowsword (it's Chaos, aww) and didn't need the big barrel, so I stuck it on a turret for a Demolisher, ha. 132's LRBT barrel was just cut down to make it the snub-nosed bang-barrel Demolisher. @Slipstreams: You are not wrong; poor 131 and 133 have distinct areas of...melting. As noted, all of these tanks were acquired 2nd hand, so whatever the previous owner did to these is a mystery. My theory is he held a lighter to the parts of the hull he wanted to look sad and droopy, so that's where it's at. I simply incorporated it into appropriate-ish battle damage and left it as is.

Marshal Argos Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Very Nice !! Is the Stygies Barrel really shorter than the other, is is that just fluff? I've always loved how nice those turrets look. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299683-tanks-picture-heavy/#findComment-3873391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
