I tried to make the black colour scheme more interesting and overdid the highlighting while doing so.

On the positive side, you can see some of the detail.

The green tank ist Predator with additional armour. There are no rules for it, but it's a nice variant.
There are also some other colour variants.

P.S.
The main weapon of Predator, Hunter and Whirlwind are separate pieces now, so you can rotate the "turrets".
Stalker has pivoting AA guns. They pivot only no swivel.

Painting interim models to get a feel what an army would look like. Comparing grey and black.
On some black tanks you can see the black cat with yellow eyes- The black ones got a black wash to soften the hghliights and to bring the surfaces back to near black - from dusty grey.

The grey/red hunter sports a Raven symbol as I said those are interim models. They became obsolete when plans changed or the models were changed.

A last picture in this series - promise.
Again a Land Raider, but a special one.
It is the kind of model I usually do not do.
You can see that the Twin Lascannons are separate pieces that can be mounted so they can pivot even after painting.
The Twin Heavy Bolter has a pivoting turret as well.
The main hatches are also separate pieces, so that you can switch the standard hatches with some with special equipment or commanders.
Usually I would argue that it is simpler to do 4 models with different angles for the Lascannon and Bolter and different hatch types than making main parts pivotable and replaceable, but it basically was a challenge for me to see whether I could do it.
You can see that there are more pieces than really are needed for a single model. I just added some excess parts in case that some of the finer parts will not print or will get lost.

I'm surprised you bothered with a larger one - it must have taken FOREVER to print compared with it's smaller cousins!

In case you wondered what colour sheme I choose.
The gray one - with yellow accents. The wolves, runes and numbers are decals I printed on a laser printer. Worked not quite well, but not perfect, will try a different, thinner kind of decal later.

That's the first set finished:
Three kind of Whirlwinds just being ready, firing and on the march.
Image

Two kinds of Predator Anhilators - that's a stretch because the only differ in having a commander or not.
Image

Three kinds of Hunters - two firing one being ready.
Image

Only one set of Land Raiders - yet,
Image

2 nearly identical Land Speeders on stands which come in two heights
Image

3 Warhounds. the weapons have magnets and can be switched. Two different heads, 4 different legs which can be posed before glueing them down. The torso is not glued on, so it can pivot.
Image

Some imprssions
