ive painted a good 40 something of the tanks already.

the tank company and artillery company i painted 2 years ago are a little rough, but still a good standard.  whereas the tanks i have painted recently are up to a much higher level that i am really, really pleased with.

its pretty much a cadian colour scheme, that will have a few special paint jobs in and amongst them.

if i try, i could prob paint about 10 tanks a day to this standard, maybe??

there is a local weekly wargaming club up the road from me that i will take both my armies along to, see if i can get soem games going.

i will be able to upload some decent pics on monday when i have access to a decent camera, i can only find an old 2MP one atm and it makes everything look like a blob  

i just quickly counted how many tanks i have, around 130!!!  

its good i have all this free time then  

if only they still sold catachan green in a spray can!   i am having to paint each tank with 2 coats!

Honestly, try some Testors spray enamel from their Military Modelers range.  I've used their sprays for quickie jobs on tanks and they worked great.

I say maybe Army Painter spray would be good.  

Maybe the Army Green or Greenskin? eh?

this is the club up the road:

linky

TBH i dont really mind painting them by hand, i just like to moan
it passes the time and i have already painted a load of my tanks and i wouldnt want all the colours to be off, if you know what i mean?

i had looked at the army painter stuff, was considering it.  may still when im very bored of painting lol.  i use their matt varnish for my models though.

As you can see on my Battlereport I have to play against my own too
But you should search for a good opponent
take a friend let him look at your painted models
he will say something like that:
"wow ,really nice, you paint all of that tiny stuff?"
then let him paint a model on his own
and then you give him an army for a "test" game
next time he will overbid you on ebay and defeat you with your own army

Youre army will look pretty cool with all that tanks
but you will need much more INF. even if you play E:A

i appologise for the photos. i am currently living in a flat with little natural light and energy saving bulbs, so photos aren't great. i will be doing a proper shoot with all of the models in detail at some point in the near future.

this is a current shot of most of the armour in the army. i do not yet have any chimera companies, so will be having around 28 of them


here is a shot of the stormblades


and a shot of the titans. the flash has changed the colours on some of the models. i have painted 2 of the warhounds as inquisitorial.

i have also started building a necron army.

i have painted 3 full compaines of warriors, 2 nightbringers, 4 stands of immortals, 5 stands of scarabs and there is currently much more in the post.

Nice and big thats what I love
cool looking army
now you have to do that amount of IG Inf. too
