Looking nice there.

I love the marines - very muted and earthy colours. I think the tanks need... weathering or something to bring them in line with the marines.

I'd agree with matt, also aesthetically not sure about the smoke launchers on top of the flamer (although it makes some fluff and rules sense)
I'm not a fan of the strict space wolves colour scheme.. but I think you give it a nice twist

Yes I think so to.
The intention is to use weathering powders on all the tanks to dirty up the hulls around the tracks and lower hull.

Ive got some black powder im going to work around the top of the razor back to symulate scorching.

Cheer`s for the fb.

These are looking really good. I like the piled snow on the tanks - a nice touch. The unit looks really cohesive too. Mutchas Gratsias for sharing!

Awesome work Jim, I love how the faces look. A very leathery, rugged look.
Excellent work looking forward to seeing more!

Wow!

That makes a big difference!
Looking good. Are they easy to apply?
How likely are they to rub off during gameplay?
Do you need to seal them with matte spray?
Sorry for all the questions, but thought I'd be the first to ask.
Nice job of weathering.

oh yes that's much better

Jimster · by **Jimster** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 5:41 pm

I just apply them with a tank brush,
Put it on heavy in stage`s then spray seal.

If you wnt to go all pro
It`s in the forge world master class book.

Hope that help`s.
