Some new vets for the 501st Battle Tank Bataillon

[silversurfer]

Thanks for the positive replies.

The tall one is a conversion from a mini I got in a tourney (from studio 38). Basically it was a guard/worker with a driller. I swaped the head and replaced the driller with a power axe.

I guess you want to know more about the axe on the guy on the right side. It's simply a poweraxe head mounted on a chainsword base. Cut and glue, it doesn't need really a tutorial.

Yeah lol I figured it out for the man on the right. The worker devenu sergeant looks great. Really menacing position. In terms of names I find that fake planet names and the like really cheesy. Something simple like the 501st Tank Battalion works much better.

Coincidently je tiens a ajouter, I also used the 501 decals on my regiment.

Bonne continuation

[silversurfer]

Right Ivory, but I translated in a bad english (as usual) the name of my regiment.
In french, it is named 501e Régiment de Chars Cadien, which have the same abbreviation (501e RCC) than my previous IRL regiment (the infamous 501e Régiment de Chars de Combat).

So 501 forever ! Maybe we could create a club of owners of "501st" bataillons. Who wants to be in ?

Lool 501 all day every day.

What's next in the pipeline?

Thanks for the positive replies.

@ Cosmic : There is still an Executioner, a third and a fourth Leman Russ, an exterminator turret, 2 hydras. And I really need to finish the skitarii and the veterans squads. I was busy with a fast attack space marine themed force.

Removed : I'm ashamed of my poor english skills, but what means OCD ?

[soundwarp]

OMG, they look awesome.

Do you use a wash for the clothes or dry brush up???

Love them.

[silversurfer]

The last add to the armoured battle group, "Foudre" an executioner Leman Russ :

Nice job silver. To answer your question directed at prilldog: OCD means obsessive compulsive disorder.

[Ponderius]

Those are amazing! Absolutely love the color scheme!

[Boobs McGee, Esquire]

Simple yet effective I approve.
Is it just washed down from white?

[silversurfer]

Thanks.

Here is a picture of my armoured compagny flanking some Black Templar brothers in a tournament last weekend.

A lot of fun using those fluffy bunny lists themed about the defense of the hive city Helreach on Armageddon. We finished 11/22 so it wasn't that bad and my brother in arms got the paint prize.

I use this technique for my vehicules :
- white undercoat
- dry brushing using karak stone
- washing with agrax earthshade
- re drybrushing with karak stone
- details

Almost the same for the footsloggers except the second dry brushing using karak stone is replaced by a flange still with karak stone.

J'adore les canons sur le punisher tellement une bonne idee. T'es un petit malin toi en faite ;-)

BTW where did you get those custom decals from?

[silversurfer]

Decals are home made.

You can find an article about it here : 501regimentdecharscadiens.centerblog.net/42-j-ai-teste-pour-vous-impression-de-decalcos

Only in french but basically a special sheet where you can print your own decals.Then use microsol and microset products.

[Cosmic]

I've always been tempted to try homemade decals. I shall look into it after seeing yours

Great work

[silversurfer]

New stuff, the bastion is also a dice tower (you can remove half of the roof and the door, inside you have obstacles to roll the dice) :

[teku18]

Tanks are the only thing I miss about the guard. Yours look awesome btw.

[danesk]

Great work mate!

I love the pun on "foudres" turret! Is it intended or just happened?

[silversurfer]

Thanks.
Of course it is intended. And also the name 'Tonnerre' for the punisher. A lot of noise for almost no effect ^^

[silversurfer]

And now a WIP of a quadgun I will use on the battlment of the bastion.

[Kassill]

Great models man, but I have to say your avatar is far too distracting.



(not that it's a bad thing... )

[silversurfer]

Some new pics of the list I will plzy next month in a tournament.

[hendrik]
