hi there,

many of you might have already seen my space wolves.
if so, you'll also have recogniced my rc-tanks in the corresponding thread.
-
the reason why i'm starting a 2nd thread now is, because major decision have been made affecting my wolves.
the most important one was that i want to start a new, totaly different army.
and after thinking about what the perfect moment could be to do that, i decided that it is now. !
the reasons are quite simple and logical: (at least to me ;-) )
- at the moment i almost managed to finish all of my already build space-wolve specific stuff.
- the rc-projects are more imperial guard- projects, than sm. (what i will do with the rc-landraiders is made, i don't know, yet.)
- the 2 titan i'm currently building on, are really not SWish and therefore do better fit in almost any other army.
- i have so much imperial stuff to build in my room, that i can not wait any longer with this army !!!!
- i want to paint something in a different color than blue !
.
................................
=>
so i decided to use the titans, the baneblade and the shadowsword for a new army based on the imperial guard.
.
there'll be many tanks, some flyers, the 2 titans and at least 5 rc-tanks in it ... - just to give you an impression what will come within the next ~ 3 years ...
....
ok... i think that's enough theory for the moment. so let's start wit hthe first tank, that i started to paint today ... it is the rc-baneblade you can see in this video:
-
i wanted to have a dark color scheme with a note of camo in it.
further it should be easy to paint with brush, because i don't have airbrush and it should be applyable for flyers, tanks and titans.
in the end i decided to take a scheme close to that from the dkok.
.
so here's waht i did today ... :



-
in the following pic you can see a picture (on my screen), that i found on the internet, showing the tank that inspired me to choose this scheme:

comments and critisism very welcome as the pj is still in early state and easy to modify.

maybe some of you remmember the big titan from page 2. ?!
.
i got a lot of feedback ragarding this titan. postive and negative.
the negative feedback was in most cases based on the fact, that it was too big for a reaver, but little too small for a warlord and so none of both specs really fit it. additional to that others were concerned if the shoulder were simply to "weak" and not bulky enough for a warlord.
futhermore the design of the legs which is a very agile one did not realyl fit to the upright position of the high torso i used.
...
so i decided to disassemble everthing again and split this mediumsized titan into 2 individual titanprojects. a reaverproject and a warlordproject.
the legs, head, balkonies to hold the weopons, and the weapons would become part of the reaverproject.
and the torso would become part of the new warlord-project.
-
yesterday i finally started with that plan and already build a new torso for the reaver. of yourse it is not finished, yet, but i think you'll get the idea.
.
for the main torso itself i used the basesections of 2 imperial bastions that i simply glued together. easy but effective concept, isn't it ?! ....
so this is something that i'm pretty sure people also planing titans will copy, just because it is a really easy and relativelly cheap and also fast way to get a good base to start with, when building a reaver titans torso.
said enough .... here are the pics ...

Starting to get the impression you are not a mortal being, both of the above are so unbelievably good.

The titan looks great already, loving the angles and the head.

+all the rep!
That head makes the titan a lot more menacing then stock ones to say the least. Also a smart way of making the Titan playable to switch it into a Reaver Class:biggrin:
and here we go ...

It should of got 1st or 2nd place, I don't think it says anywhere about the comp you were talking about being about painting :(

Furthermore your painting is amazing!

For the general , i would make a leviathan:D Otherwise awesome work !
For the general , i would make a leviathan:D Otherwise awesome work !
maybe when the warlord will be finished. :victory:

but for the moment ... :
today i also made some progress on one of my tanks.
this time i included some green in the basic color scheme.
in a row with the other vehicles of this army it still looks like one of them ... but when you look closer you'll find the new tone and i think in the end this might add some character to this tank.
and now that the basic color is applied it time to start with some details. ...
