Badass.

All I can say is that I think you should outline the Marine's joints or something. He looks like a blue extension of the vechile.

Beyond that, badass.  

[Admiral Smort]

thanks.
I would also like to point out the exhaust system i made for it, and the bullet holes, leading from the dozer blade, onto the front of the tank itself "its kinda hard to see in those pics" but it's as if some ork or something shot at it, and just make a stream of bullets from the bottom of the dozer blade, towards the hatch.

Fluff-wise, I wonder which mug got stuck with the job of painting all those missiles blue. XD

That's gotta be one of the cooler modelling jobs I've seen. An example of how you don't have to make something complicated for it to look cool.

What'd you use to make the smoke from the missile?  

[Admiral Smort]

I simply used cotton balls.
I used some thing wire, and twirled the wire, with the cotton in it, so it will catch onto the wire, then i fluffed it up, then primed the whole turret with the cotton on it.

The sheer beauty of Warhammer 40,000 modelling is that you can take any day items and turn them into your creation. Just like you can use styrafoam to make ruined buildings and walls n' stuff.

I agree the marine should be distingished somehow from the tank.

Im not too big on the exhaust system, but I do love the novelty of the firing missiles, and the bullet stream along the dozer blade and front is well done.

Only other thing, why not use the modeling sticky or the conversion sticky?  

[Andreis]

Admiral, it looks like your sword is stabbing the fat chickey...

At any rate.
Wonderful!
Simplistic beauty. biggrin

I had not noticed the bullet line until Kento mentioned so.
Very nice. biggrin  

[Destiny_Hunter]

Very nice just next time move the water bottle in the back round XD

It has it's own box, and I've made custom padding for it lol.
It actually got into the judes final 3 pick for Conlict Montreal 05/06 warpstone painting competition.. unfourtunatley, one of the best painters in Canada entered the same category, and one yet another conflict trophy t put on his shelf of millions mad (he went to every conflict in Canada, and won at least one trophy at each)
