Tanks on Parade

So as the 40 hours of 40k approach I'm finishing off a few minor painting parts and I thought you guys might want to see some of what I'm working on...

First...some pictures of my Baals!!! (sorry couldn't help myself ^_^)

This one is freehanded to have flames moving down the hull.

The command tank has blood oozing down the main turret

And freehanded blood drops on the Heavy Bolters

This one has the Eye of Terror and a Flame tipped sword, not sure why I did it, but I did.

Close up. I would like to point out that I have no idea where the fire spurts on the Assault Cannons came from... wish I knew but they give a great effect.



These two are poor little orphan rhino's converted to really mutated Razorbacks. These aren't my nice ones but two spare that I needed.


Quick blurb here. Pictures bad but this is one of my Baal Predators that was magnetized. When I teach new players on how to build armies my first rule is to buy razor backs instead of Rhinos and magnets.

This picture really doesn't give the hatch justice but all my rhino hatches have fun freehanded images all over them.

Here is the Land Raider that Bully wanted to see. The flaming Braziers are from a Halloween village you can buy at craft stores.  

Wait... what is this...let me hit the on switch.
Yeah, it lites up... a little bit of Badass right there.
                                  
Here are my famous las/plas razorbacks. Its amazing how many compliments I get over these guys.

A close up of the lascannon and twinlinked Plasma Gun


I like to make the Plasma Gun look a little pre heresy. Really adds a nice touch.

  1. Loving it dude -

    Have to say your braver than me with the freehand - I am trying some now though I have to say.

    The eye of terror is awesome - I really like that, it seems a pretty simple concept - swirl w/ highlighting but its one of those things that looks better than the sum of its parts.

    This is the scheme I've done for my GK/DW/BA tanks now - I had that old red one but I just couldn't get it done lol, so I ended up just making that new DW scheme I had into the whole sherbang!

    Marble HO!

    My storm raven looks pretty mint with it as well, not that I'll ever use it (well thats a lie - I used a very jawaballs-esque list with it!)
