Quote from: Rincewind1;693064Should cover that tank in some Roman/esque stuff/motiffs IMO. I like how the whole thing's coming together - at first I was kind of "Meh, so it's basically IG with Roman colour scheme", but I like the small touches.

Thanks :)

Besides some Roman numerals for unit/legion ect... any recommendations?

Playing with vehicles is your best bet - big, huge "canvases" to mod them around, and you can just glue some swords/doves/laurels on them (basically what bits you have). Fitting out officers with red cloaks if you've got any'd not be a bad idea also. And if you want to go full out - take one of the vehicles and put a "shrine to War god" on it's top, like some banner, skulls and some pseudo - altar behind the hatch or something.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

That's a cool idea, perhaps for the leader of my Lemun Russ squad will have a little shrine.

I'm not super bits rich but I do have some metal legionnaire I can mutilate.  

I'm trying to get a priest outfitted with a big chain axe that I can turn into a giant Fasces with which to murder people (seems suitably 40k).

Added Legion number, a decoration (based on Roman battlement crowns) and some soldier graffiti.  





Of course the next tank graffiti I do will be "daemones eunt domus" :p ;)

And my chimera will say "Nos sunt plena" on the rear hatch.

Next up: Marine Captain, once I get him I'll have a 1000pt list I can field.

Your faces are always very impressive. You should do a tutorial on your method, especially as it seems to not take you very long

Man, I wish I had something that could be called a "method" but it's really a super simple 'block and wash'. I do tend to go very heavy on the wash, I load up a crappy hobby lobby brush with as much wash as it will hold and blot it on to the faces so that the base color is almost entirely obscured and let it dry.

I'm using citadel "Cadian Flesh" and "Reikland Fleshshade" so any good results are entirely to their credit.

I lied about the Marine Captain, I'm painting another Leman Russ (I just couldn't pull the trigger on a $35 single mini).

On other news I've plotted out 2000pts of IG and Marines, an all-comers list.

To end the month;which I did not accomplish nearly as much as I set out to do; here's what I've been working on this last weekend, as time permitted:





Bones C'Thulhu!

Which will be playing the part of a Hell Pit Abomination when we kick the game up to 1500 points.

Huh, well it seems to work really well. Will have to give that a try.

I don't think anyone guessed the graffiti, so where's it from?

It say's Deamonus Eunt Domus or roughly "The demons they go the house":
