Some shots of a nearly completed punisher tank- I needed to get it into action, so some detail work is still not finished, but good enough for war! After spraying it, I did a wet wash of GW foundation Yellow Ochre and some reaper darker grey to fill in the colors. After that I applied a couple of “rust” washes, with a liquid you find in the train shops, to get the basic colors. Then I edged the yellow with Reaper golden blonde mixed with yellow ochre. The tracks are black mixed with Vallejo red brown, and then I took a graphite pencil to get the metallic look on the edges. I uses some pastels to add in a bit of dust and dirt. The Blue grey of the guns and tank commander's helmet tie in with the rest of my 40K "falshirmjaeger" look. Decals are stock GW.
Wow, there are some wild textures in the yellows. Almost looks like a cross hatching. How did you accomplish that?
ReplyDeleteVery easy- take the picture near a window with a screen on it! I didn't realize till after I did the shots, and haven't had time to do a reshoot, since the tank is currently in combat. That and I thought it looked "cool".
ReplyDeleteLooking good. How did she do in combat?
ReplyDeleteShe did quite Admirably, thanks! During the first battle, In three turns the punisher tossed out 87 dice of ST5 death,hitting 54 times and wounding 37. Now, everyone concentrates on taking her out, and ignores my flank attacks with Sentinels, and huddles up behind buildings for my arty to find them. My infantry really appreciates it.
ReplyDeleteNeed some Kill Rings on the main gun... just to show others she's capable and can dish it out!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Might be hard with the barrels. I have been putting "purity" seals on her, and do have a nid skull to hang off the turret as a trophy.
