For the Ginger Dwarf: A Charity Painting Project in the 41st Millenium
Part Three: Hover Tonk
Now let’s be very clear before I say anything else. I hate this hover tank nonsense. I think they look dumb. I also normally don’t enjoy painting vehicles. This however was quite a lot of fun to paint.
Dominik sent it on to me primed and magnetised. Stage one was to airbrush Averland Sunset (GW)
Then in with some details.
GW paints: Mephiston Red, Abbadon Black, Retributor Gold, Moot Green, Pallid Wytch Flesh
Army Painter: Gun Metal
Pin wash on all the yellow sections Agrax Earthshade (which made me realise how much I would like to buy a proper lining brush at some point)
Over metallic sections, wash was Nuln Oil
Weathering is a good old sponge with Charred Brown (Vallejo) for yellow sections and Gun Metal for the metallics. I also went over the very edge of the tank with the Gun Metal for a properly beaten up look. Fists never back down so it makes sense to me that their vehicles will be hard-worn.
Last thing to do on them all is the basing. Andy has used the Geek Gaming Mars base ready for the models he is putting in. I have sworn to never use that crap again but needs must.
