3rd Armoured Division Savlar Chem-Dogs – Tank A- Solar Auxilia Dracosan Armoured Transport – Finishing Details

Transfers: Tank Number and Large Skull Image came from the Imperial Guard Transfer set. NB no transfers come with Forgeworld kits, so you need to use transfers from other kits or buy separate transfers from Forgeworld. I had considered purchasing the Solar Auxilia Transfer set but the price was rather steep, and I don’t think they are available anymore (?). Anyhow, I have so many tanks, I’ve always got leftovers. I’ve tried to discover what the various symbols mean, but in the various chat forums there appears to be no common consensus except choose ones that you fancy. Smaller skull images and ‘Glorium’ came from the Cadian Infantry Transfer sheet. Make sure you use clean water for the transfers, and cut down to size before floating off. I also found that a sharp-pointed dental tool is useful to drag the transfer off your brush onto the tank. I paint a ‘ardcoat layer over the transfer to help adhere them and leave to dry.

Wash: Dirty the dried transfers using Agrax Earthshade.

Weathering: Using the corner of a sponge dab Leadbelcher and/or Chainmail paint lightly onto raised edges of the tank to highlight scrapes. For rust – Use Weathering powder to dry brush around the areas likely to suffer wear and tear. Varnish Spray to seal the vehicle.
