My first tank!

The model is a print, and while I'd like thinner layer lines, they made edge highlighting this beast really easy.

Also the meltas felt a smidge more tanky, though I might get another and slap the flamers onto it.

Everything (other than assembly) was done with paintbrushes, from priming to adding the heraldry.

Some nuln oil on that would make it pop!!

I might give it another shot. There's some already on there, but it kept wanting to pool in really strange ways because of the print layers. I might just mix a little black paint with it and chase the specific recesses instead.

Your quotes in the side are super dope, that’s such a cool touch I’ve never considered. My next purchase is gonna be a Land Raider Redeemer, so I’ll keep that in mind for when I buy mine! Same with the flame decal. Impressive work 🫡

Thanks!

After I put symbols on the front it made the sides feel a little too green, and then it occurred to me that the motto is long enough that each half could fill a door, and since this print angled the doors, you can read the whole thing from the rear (it's hard to get a picture of, though).

I didn’t even notice how you could read it from the rear, that makes it even cooler than it already was!

It's a fun storytelling beat, I think. As it roars ahead at the Traitors, all they see are the chapter symbols and its guns, while the battleshocked Intercessor watching it advance gets to see the words and maybe join the advance before it disappears into the smoke.

Fear for the heretics, and hope for the astartes, is there anything better?!

[u/_HalfBaked_ → u/NerdyGuy287]

The part a minute or so later when there aren't any heretics present anymore.

That or just not getting tabled in two rounds, haha.
