“Can’t you see? You and me, we will finally be free!” Lance’s words struck the young maestro’s heart, but he isn’t sure on this was what he wanted…

40k/30k vehicle that tends to have the slutiest crew?

Shadowsword crews. The aroused sweating and anticipatory shuddering as they recite the holy litanies of core penetration and line up the shot is, frankly, concerning. The resultant orgiastic celebration after they blow a titan up goes ahead with shocking ease, given the cramped interior of the tank. Only the most limber crews need apply for Shadowsword duty.

Warspite, a Shadowsword pattern super-heavy tank, of the Norcaster 4th Heavy Tank Company. Seen here during the liberation of the city of Mortain on Valence's northern continent. During the fighting the tank was credited with the destruction of two War Dogs and four Traitor Knights of various patterns.

Tiny tank! In this case a 3D printed one I picked up via an auction, also have a Baneblade that I really should paint, but want to do something special with it and missing some stuff for it. To my great annoyance.

A real treat to paint, based it on Sonic Sledgehammer's Comet painting steps, which was just a wash and a drybrush and then I picked out some other details. No point spending too much effort on a 6mm sized tank.

The base was my first attempt at using a texture roller. Used filler instead of green stuff or putty, which took a couple of attempts. But even with the final one smearing a little it worked out pretty well. Not to mention cleaning was a breeze since the stuff was water soluble when not dried.

I want to paint more tiny tanks now. Maybe I'll get some Legions Imperialis vehicles at some point. Who knows how well this one is going to square up against those.

The Shadowsword arrives

It is finally done, this is probably the longest I've spent in a long while. Around 8 hours give or take. I wanted this to look grimy and I think I've achieved that. Plus this is one of my better attempts at camouflage.

The little radioactive symbol, items on the outside of the tank and the camouflage pattern are nods to my Panzerjäger E100 that I use in World of Tanks (Console edition). I did change it up a little though.
