Oh, yeah! This looks great! ^^
The golden details make a nice contrast against the cold gray hull.

Great work here. I was just curious, what colours did you use?

sprayed black, then Shadow Grey (old school GW spray too!), washed with codex grey, lined with vallejo shadow wash. the goldy bitz started out Brazen Bronze the washed with shadow then highlighted with shining gold.

Nicely done! 
I visited the link you provided and boy these kits are pricey. Can you tell me roughly what scale it is ?
π: 0 β©: 1
28mm, same as the other models. this baby is fully compatible with standard 40k!

Okay, I'm familiar 35mm figures, from back in the day when I played D&D, but have no idea what "40k" refers to.
I'm also into 1:35 scale Armor Models.
Your "Baneblade" looks really tough.
Anyway, thanks for replying.

could be better with a few shades of green - but still fantastic. Emperors approval.

Oh wow! Awesome!
I came this close to buying one of the first Forge World versions when they came out back int he day.
I don't know how many updates/variants they've done since the first release, I haven't played in years.
I'm an Eldar and Sisters player, but I wanted to get that and the Thunderhawk just because they were so effin' cool.

lol. i DID pick up a Thunderhawk and wish i'd waited until Apocalypse came out. FW redid the molds for it and the newer version is so much easier to model. but if you play Apocalypse your Sisters CAN field a Baneblade. You can mix and match any Imperials to put together a force.

I don't know what Apocalypse is, is that the remake of 40K Epic?

Oh I see, they've made Epic full scale now. Very cool.
I have a few of the old Armorcast Eldar vehicles, you know, the shoe box grav tanks.

indeed! i have a SHITLOAD of Blood Angels. i justified the existance of my collection as 'having my options open' but really i just wanted an entire battle company. now i've got almost two! eventually i'll get to field it all at one time, but i gotta finish the models first.

So, how did you do the shadows on the chasis? Down the screws, and that. Badab blac??
π: 0 β©: 1
part of it is watered down black paint. the rest i did with a Vallejo shading wash that does pretty much the same thing.

a few days total paint time, but i worked on it on and off over a year and a half. i actually had to paint it 3 times. first time the primer i used didn't stick to the model and i had to wash it all off in the sink with dish soap. the second time i used spray paint to try a camo scheme, but when i went to 'wash' it for the shading the wash mix i used ruined it. i just painted over it the third time and it came out great.

A Baneblade is badass
I wish I owned one of these, but I need to get my Hierodule finished first, then I need to make room.
These super-heavy tanks are great to try weathering powders upon.
Very nice work in shading the metals and the armor plating.
