9x19 Parabellum Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Looks great! How'd you managed to get the white so sharp? Thanks! About 8 watered down layers. But believe it or not, it's all freehand. No airbrushing and no masks. Let the white spill over and then trim it up with black (easier that way). duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9x19 Parabellum Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thank you. I added a little more edge highlighting last night and I'm going to get some better pics up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriade Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I may need to darken up the edge highlighting as it doesn't seem to show well but still for the most part done. Race Bannon, WAR, duz_ and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9x19 Parabellum Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Looks awesome, needs some decals/details though. Why is the gunner red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriade Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Same reason Tech marines are red. The guy has the mechanicm cog all over his armor therefor red. I originally planned to just go arms/helmet red in a similar marking to vets but it really didn't look good for some reason with black body may have something to do with the amount of armor plate on the front of his armor. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x19 Parabellum Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Oh. Huh. Tank Gunners are Techmarines? I did not know that. I thought they were regular Chapter Marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 They can be. Just depends on how you like painting your stuff :) I never exposed crewmen in my old vanilla diy army. You know because ... tank armor. I always imagine the gunner and driver as regular marines and the engineer as a techmarine ... probably TSOALR influence ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 This has been a topic of debate that pops up occasionally. For my part, tanks come from the armory which is the pervue of the Techmarines. So, I don't consider tank crew "Techmarines", yet have specialized training to know the intricacies of vehicle handling and maintenance (which is more than a Company Marine would know about). Thus, tank crew gets some red on their armor in some way. That's just my opinion. Regardless, a splash of red on a black tank is welcomed :tu: duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, a splash of red on a black tank is welcomed Yeah, I always imagined tank operators and gunners to be regular Chapter Marines with specialized training also, but not belonging to the "techmarine" corps. I might have to rethink this though. Maybe; -Veterans, Lts, Captains will all get white arms (veterancy) -Techmarines and their Corps will get red arms -Librarians will get blue arms -Chaplains and Apothecaries....grey?

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Good job on the Repulsor, Hellstrike. Edited March 15, 2018 by Bjorn Firewalker Hellstrike and Dusterthreeonesix 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusterthreeonesix Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 MOAR PICS! Ask and ye shall recieve! Corvin Severax' personal ride. Rear view. Almost forgot that wee bit of parchment A bit blingier than the usual Raven Guard vehicle, as I thought appropriate for the Chapter Master's taxi. Course, it's still just a few touches. RG symbols are from the forgeworld transfer sheet. This is my first proper project since I got back into the hobby. As you can see, the edges are a bit wonky, and the brush strokes are more obvious than I'd like. But a big tank is always tricky, let alone when you're out of practise. So I'm still quite chuffed! Gotta have the multimelta of course. Decent look at one of the two crew. Quite like how the highlighting on his right shoulder came out. As you can see, I went with veteran crews, but with a techmarine red shoulder. I think it worked quite well. And another look at crew members, the stormbolter and that headlamp. Beakie's shoulder was tricky to do, had to cut the transfer in half to fit, and getting it lined up right was a job for someone less hamfisted than me.

Hellstrike Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) MOAR PICS! Sure. Here ya go Dakka Pattern Zappy Pattern All the Sides Some of the weapons. The missile swaps will wait until after I play a game or 2 and see if I even find them worth it. And... The Gunner. It still needs basing and weathering but I'm holding off on that until I decide how the army will be based in one go. No since dusting with muddy colors if its an urban base scheme and viceversa. But calling it done for now and table worthy.
