what he said... that is disgustingly lovely. I'm struggling to paint trees onto shields for a gondor army when there are people who can do that... *hangs head in shame*

Thanks everyone. . . Each tank takes me about 10 hours or so of painting. Just in ase anyone wants to know here is my process.
1. Find an image from BA hereldry (If i can't find one I make one up)
2. Draw the image on paper a few times to get the proportions right.
3. Prep the top of the tank. I have been getting rid of the new hatches in favour for the old hatches because they are more "flat"
4. Draw the image on the tank with a pencil
5. Make any changes needed with the pencil
6. Fill in the drawing with Micron pen.
7. "Paint the numbers,"
8. Do highligting as needed.
9. Paint the rest of the tnak.
The two banners I painted are similar in approach, but because they are a lot smaller they afford little room for error.
In all honesty, I didn't think that I had the talent to do this 6 months ago. Try it and you may impress yourself!

Lol, I thought the same thing when I was painting him. That is actually the Blood Angels Chapter banner, so not much I could do about that.
On a side note, The story about Sanguinius fighting off the terrors of the deep only to end up sacraficing himself for his 'father,' (the Emperor) is quite a parallel to Jesus of Nazareth.

No plan can survive execution by witless incompetents!

Well Cruor, I have been seriously thinking about putting LED lights in the vehiles... lol
Right now I don't want to buy models because of the new codex coming soon, so painting and converting is a great way to spend the time.
