Tanks

And here are some pics of the various tanks OI've been working on. They are the same painting scale as above, but as well as this i've used some dirtying/weathering techniques I've notused before.

I've used pastels to add dirt and footprints to the tanks. I airburshed gryhonne sepia around the tracks, then added a mix of weathering pastels and and vallejho plastic putty as mud, with static grass added in clumps to simulate turf that has got churned up by the tracks.

The rust weathering powders were a little underinspiring when mixed with water, and so I've ordered some mig pigments, which I've heard work better.








The chimeras were quite important to the look of the army, which is basically a mech grenadier list, with a platoon of drop troops - and the overall theme is blitzkrieg in the 41st millenium. As these are a high tech army i ordered predator turrets, which give a much cooler silhouette to the tank.
