I'm getting to grips with the airbrush. This time I have blasted out a unit that I have always wanted to try out. I finally gathered up three of these monstrous weapons.
Perhaps one of the parts I am most proud of is the cevrons on the dozer blade. I even managed to add a couple of paint chips. I used LX tape rather than masking as it didnt seep as much with the airbrush paint. I was particularly pleased with how vibrant the yellow ended up looking.
As you can see I have built these tanks pretty much straight from the kit, as quite frankly, I already loved the design. I would love to do a bigger wheeled version, but that would purely be for the fun of having a super huge missile (Ordinatus?)
As I bought these kits second hand, the hatches had already been glued into place, but I'm happy with the over all finish. They match up very well with the basilisks.
I was going to add colour to the head of the missile, however, I think I like the simple white. I simply couldn't have got the shading so smooth without the airbrush.
The spotlight was also finished off simply with the airbrush.
I did get these tanks out for a game, however as I was playing Nids with lots of monstrous creatures, the results were a little underwhelming. I would love to crack them out against a horde army or even some marines. These could be lethal to a gladius! More soon. :)
Oooh. Heavy artillery is always better in quantity. Super.
ReplyDeleteYou did lovely work with these. I have to say that these come from the days when GW had essentially no ideas. Deathstrike missiles have no place on the 40k battlefield. The concept of shooting a ICBM at a target so close you could through a baseball at it is beyond even GW standard level of ridiculous. They would make interesting 3d mission objectives.
ReplyDeleteNice brushin'!
ReplyDeleteI'm really pleased with these. The airbrush is great, although I still have a lot of learning to do.
