WIP

Dark Angels Razorback



I was pleased to find that the decals I've been hanging onto since I bought this tank in 1999 still worked well.

I focus so much on finished products for this site, I feel like I've been neglecting in progress shots of things I'm working on.  Technically this Middlehammer beauty and the accompanying squad of marines (who can be seen out of focus in the background) are supposed to be my current project.  However the last two months have seen me painting a lot of scenery pieces which will turn up hereabouts in picture form soon.  It was supposed to be a fast and temporary distraction from endless rounds of highlighting Caliban Green in order to attempt to make the scenery backgrounds of in game pictures look better but it's morphed into a junkyard scenery painting addiction/distraction.  I've got to get the scenery monkey off my back so I can give this long in progress squad and vehicle the finish they deserve.








I really wish GW or FW would bring back this look in an Astartes vehicle, it is very reminiscent of the ACAV used in the Vietnam War.
The base colors of this Razorback have been painted since my heyday of playing 3rd edition in the late 90's.  That's classic Citadel Green Ink giving the crazy shiny effect to the Dark Angels Green base coat that was painted long, long ago.  The turret and all the finishing touches in progress are courtesy of my improved with age recent painting work.  I look forward to publishing the finished pictures along with the 4th squad, 4th company marines who will ride inside.
