“Can’t you see? You and me, we will finally be free!” Lance’s words struck the young maestro’s heart, but he isn’t sure on this was what he wanted…

Colored version:

Warspite, a Shadowsword pattern super-heavy tank, of the Norcaster 4th Heavy Tank Company. Seen here during the liberation of the city of Mortain on Valence's northern continent. During the fighting the tank was credited with the destruction of two War Dogs and four Traitor Knights of various patterns.

Tiny tank! In this case a 3D printed one I picked up via an auction, also have a Baneblade that I really should paint, but want to do something special with it and missing some stuff for it. To my great annoyance.

A real treat to paint, based it on Sonic Sledgehammer's Comet painting steps, which was just a wash and a drybrush and then I picked out some other details. No point spending too much effort on a 6mm sized tank.

The base was my first attempt at using a texture roller. Used filler instead of green stuff or putty, which took a couple of attempts. But even with the final one smearing a little it worked out pretty well. Not to mention cleaning was a breeze since the stuff was water soluble when not dried.

It is finally done, this is probably the longest I've spent in a long while. Around 8 hours give or take. I wanted this to look grimy and I think I've achieved that. Plus this is one of my better attempts at camouflage.

The little radioactive symbol, items on the outside of the tank and the camouflage pattern are nods to my Panzerjäger E100 that I use in World of Tanks (Console edition). I did change it up a little though.
