Excellent work.

My only criticism is the rivets on the plasticard are huge compared to those on the rest of the mdel.
Otherwise superb effort.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335147.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335147.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335148.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335148.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335172.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335172.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335187.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335187.page GMT
The entry in the picture seems less sure than you, it can't decide if its turret mounted or mounted on a raised superstructure. Similarly the sponsons seem to have a variable weapon layout.

@ OP: Excellent conversion job by the way. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214909/335233.page GMT CoD sprue stack in the corner. Little things like that go a long way.

One complaint, and it certainly isn't your fault. GW is the greatest copy-editor of the modern era, but they finally let one slip.

Where in the Datasheet for the stormlord, aside from the drawing where they are clearly labelled, does it state that this vehicle features a twin-linked heavy bolter?

I figure they have a few different versions of this tank hidden away somewhere. They just need a few months to figure out exactly how they want to rig it up. For the one I did, I just used what I would like to play in Apoc. I love the 15 shots, and the Las / Flamer combo makes for great troop support. I really wanted to mount two heavy stubbers in the back, but I had no place to put them and make the thing look right. If you notice the picture, they have some type of turret system in the back, but that would completely cover the open top feature and leave no room for a transport area. Anyone not happy with 15 shot main weapon, 2 lascannon shots, 2 twin linked flamer shots, and a set of twin linked heavy bolters needs a new army. Also, if you read the small print, it says that the up to 20 models can shoot from the STORMLORDS shooting platform. WoW, that's two platoons of guys laying waist as this beast rumbles down the battlefield burnen sh!t alive. I can't wait to finish painting it.

The top grill on the blown up Vulcan mega-bolter and the birds eye left rear quarter are identical, so that's a safe bet they're from the same one. But great job on your scratchbuild

As an aside, I have made studious notes on how to achieve my current tank camo scheme, thus avoiding past pitfalls. You live and learn! I took a photo of a work in progress Leman Russ hull the other day, so if you are interested I could try and share it with you? I'm a bit of a imbecile when it comes to getting pictures up, so this may take some time Any help would be lapped up.

Its seems like the stuff loves their paint. I only apply one coat of all my colors regardless the shade.

That's all I have done up to this point. I'll have the tank finished by tomorrow night and should have some final pics with more painting details. I included a picture of the Leman Russ to give you a final idea of what its going to look like. Once all my detail work is done, I do a kind of black varnish mix that I hand cook up at home. If anyone likes the look, just IM me and I'll send you the directions on how to make the stuff. It works better than the new GW washes, and it adds a layer of protection to the paint. Say good bye to chipped paint.

All of this stuff I got at my local Michael's Craft Store.

You can buy it anyplace that sells this type of craft junk.

Here is what you need, and follow each part to the letter to get the result you saw on my tank.

1. Buy a 2 oz empty plastic bottle with the little white pore top on it. If you don't know what this looks like, just check out the paints and look for the Delta Creative paints for the size and look of these.
Just remember, you just need empty ones that have no paint so you have a place to mix your new wash.

2. Buy the 8 oz bottle of Delta Ceramcoat All-Purpose Sealer. $5.00 or so. It is a clear milky solution in a clear bottle with a fruity rainbow on it.

3. Buy the 4 oz bottle of Liquitex Flow Aid. $7.00 or so. Again, its a clear bottle but it has orange and black trim on it.

4. Buy or use your GW Chaos Black normal paint.

Once you have all these items you'll need to mix it the following way.

Take your 2 oz empty bottle and fill it with almost 2 oz of the All-Purpose Sealer. This should fill right to the top where the plastic bottle gets small to screw the top on.

Then take your Flow Aid, and with a steady had put 2-4 drops of the Flow Aid. Again, just 2 to 4 DROPS not oz. You don't need very much of this Flow Aid to work.

Lastly comes the Chaos Black. Put in 12 drops of the Chaos Black.

When you put in the black it will look very strange, like its not going to mix because the drops of black will just sit there. Don't worry, that's how you'll know its working. Just screw the top on and make sure you hold on to the bottle.

Start shaking it up and down, and like magic the whole thing will turn a dark grey black. That easy.

All you have to do before you use it, is to remember to shake it well, and let it sit for about 2 minutes for the bubbles to pop.

Also, it works better if you store these cap side down. The flow aid seems to try and separate from the color and goes to the bottom of the bottle. This does not hurt it, it just makes for more shaking. If you store it upside down, this does not happen.

That's it, and good luck.
