First Hydra

This is the second vehicle I managed to finish for the army. The first of two Hydras this time. I manage to use the weathering techniques to a better extend since I am getting used to them. Also this time I was much faster and I hope next time I'll finish even quicker.

Reinforcements have arrived

What can I say, I like to arrange my tanks on the table and just look at them. Still have 1 Manticore and 3 Chimeras to assemble but that's pretty much about it. They will keep me occupied for the next 3 months or so. I figure I paint a tank in about a week but I think I will be getting faster since I am getting used to the techniques.

Infantry Squad 311 Chimera

So this is the first vehicle I have painted for the army. It's a chimera (with multilaser and hull heavy flamer) that will serve as the transport of the 1st infantry squad of the 3rd platoon. Thus the vehicle marking 311, but I will explain how these vehicle markings work in another post.

It was the first time I used all those weathering techniques and it was all quite new to me. I watched those 2 DVD's from MIG productions and they were very useful but I never got my hands full on a project like this. Lots of time it was guess work (especially with the oil paints) but in the end it seems to work. I am starting to get the whole process down and I'll describe in detail what I do when I am 100% sure (since I will be following the same steps for every vehicle).

I was criticized for using too much mud on the vehicle so I will try to tone down the effect next time.
