Painting - Steel Legion Vehicles

 Hello Folks,

Got another wave of painting done. Awhile back I did some Steel Legion infantry models, finally got back around to doing some vehicles of them.

Traditionally I haven't liked painting big vehicles very much, but with lots of colors pf spray, washes, and big make up brushes for dry brushing I have come around. They are quite fun now.

Full Lot:


Picture of everything for the thumbnail.

Chimera:


First up the Chimeras, I have a kindness for wheeled tanks so I ordered some 3rd party resin conversion kits, think they are much cooler this way, but opinions may vary?

Leman Rus Tank:

Every guard army needs a rush, the classic sci-fi tank. New kit let's you make 2 current to easily swap, but it sadly doesn't have an aerial which is a muss to me.

Baneblade:


This big lady was absolutely not part of the original plan, but towards the end of painting the first 3 I thought it might be fun to do a super heavy, I was unwilling to pay the crazy high price. As fate would have it some one at the miniatures flee market was selling 1 for 80 bucks, be stupid not to but that!

Some started a conversion but aborted that, there's a few scars but you can't really tell. This was a blast and turned out pretty great. One of the classics, need to be on the look out for a cheap Knight now. 😁

Sentinels:

Finally a few armageddon pattern sentinels to round things out. 2 of thd new kit and 1 old so you can comment which you like better. I'm turn, the new is ALLOT more parts, but the old one is hard to avoid looking 'droopy' headed, the new kit has a pin that avoids that. Also nice flat bit fir a transfer.


Anyway thats it for now, next project is either Bolt Action, or a Saga army. Hard to decide!

Thanks;

Mike
