A recipe for success

I don't have an airbrush and these are the first things I've put a brush two in years, but if you like the results try this:

I was aiming for a group of tanks operational in the field for a little while, hence the missing rear sprocket guards and weathering.

1. Base coat the tanks in flat black. I use cheap paint from the local auto store.
2. Unload your brush until it's juussst off dry brush levels of Vallejo Model Air 71.294 US Forest Green. Try not to cry because you're using airbrush consistency paint. Keep going until it's just off a streaky mess, should be roughly 3 coats.
3. Wash panel seems and the like with Army Painter Dark Tone.
4. Dry brush forest green again. Repeat until your coverage is good.
5. Equipment (ammo hoppers and jerry cans) are painted with VMC 70.887 Brown Violet. Brake lights on the rear are two light coats of VMC 70.957 Flat Red. Guns are flat black. Hit them with dark tone and then their base colors again if needed.
6. Dry brush everything that isn't black with a 50% mix of US Forest Green and VMC 70.819 Iraqi Sand.
7. Apply tamiya weathering master light gun metal to the 50.cal and other, lesser not 50.cal gun. Apply tamiya weathering master mud to everything that could touch mud. Hit the main gun barrel with soot.
8. Tank commanders are VMC 70.894 Cam olive green, 70.955 flat flesh or 50% flat flesh and 70.871 leather brown. 50% of the troops is a patches of leather brown or 70.983 flat earth, then 25% of the remaining green is covered by VMC 70.988 Khaki, then black stripes of 70.862 Black Grey. Hit with hit uniform with dark tone wash, flesh with strong tone, hit the flesh with flat flesh or 50% flat flesh and leather brown.
9. Tracks are basecoated with citadel Rhinox Hide, dry brushed with VMC 70.990 light grey, then washed with dark tone, weathered with weathering master mud.
10. Enjoy your awesome 1985 era tanks.

Ulther Vermillion. The Red Fox. An Astares that is seemingly always knee deep in the blood of foes and allies, right in the maelstrom of the most brutal close quarters fighting he can find.

He represents the 'old' way of the Swords of Davion, seeking personal glory over all other matters. Vermillion earnt his title during the battle for fox pass, where his entire squad died to due to his unwillingness to retreat in the face of a blood axe horde. Instead he and the squad held the narrow pass for 6 nights and 7 days until he was relieved as the sole survivor, found covered grevious wounds and rent armour.
