The land raider just looks like a pile of incredibly painted miniatures stuck together. I think the original green version was much better and then the painter decided to add the 4 random sisters perched on the top deck. Now it looks like a Raging Heroes vehicle minus the tits.

There's no rhyme or reason to why poo poo is stuck on there. They started with a decent concept, turn a Land Raider into a mobile shrine/pulpit, but just couldn't help but jam more figures and more turrets (that on closer inspection should have their crew's legs inside or dangerously close to the tracks) until it looks like a mess.

SteelMentor posted:Technically speaking, it's fantastic. I love this thing, but it just doesn't work. Too many units on the tank with too little contrast from the tank itself. Even those are covered with elements of the tank to distract you from being able to see them clearly. This model works when you see extreme closeups, but as they pull the camera back its just a tossed salad of confusing elements.

I feel like if they put that on a baneblade chassis, it'd be a lot better. More space to put them and would allow the central pulpit to actually take the stage. Think Yarick's Throne of Ignorance (i think that's what it's called) but with nuns.

I was actually looking for Inqusition Land Raiders because I have an idea for a courthouse scene on top of a Prometheus with Krazypant’s throne of judgement and a little English courtroom in front of it (with the table full of books and the bar and box and so forth).

Look again at the closeups top right, thar be the tits. Best bit for me though is that the cardinal dude needs to stand on a box to see over the pulpit properly. It is all really well painted, if only they had sprung for a bigger chassis to mount it on.

This is just a mass of color your eye naturally glazes over. Paint the fleur du lis thing on the tower bone white, or put a sister right in front of it in bright colors and problem solved. I think it's great too though.

It's exactly as overwrought as an official GW model so it's done its job, I'd say.

Even if it got put on a Baneblade chassis instead it would be better. Just a bigger "stage" so everything could be spaced out more.

 That bright streak right down the middle is the kind of eye-drawing detail I mean, BTW.

It's like the Transformers movies: the robot fight scenes are so high-speed that they're not really special effects, just the impression of special effects. Or the space battle scene in Return of the Jedi, where the SFX team threw a shoe into the mix and you didn't even notice.

Ilor posted:OK, but it draws the eye because it's the only part of the image that doesn't have "way too much poo poo going on." Blanche's art style is interesting in that the hyper-detail is so visually distracting that the result is almost impressionistic. Like there so much going on that your eye is forced to skip around, giving you the impression of the composition (as opposed to textbook impressionism, where the lack of form or detail generally serves the same purpose). Exactly! At the level that tank is working at it's full on art. So composition absolutely matters. At least in my dumb opinion. apropos of nothing: I like to look at Robert Bateman's paintings as if it were abstract art. There's a bunch where he creates a canvas wide texture and then drops a photo-realistic animal in there somewhere and makes millions off the prints. I just felt like sharing.
