originally only built and primed 7 to quickly get them on the table. Juat done the other 8 over the last few days to bring to same stage.

First image below shows the 8 new builds next to the primed 7. Three at the front have mine clearing devices fitted for +1 per tank, up to three tanks per company. Given how important not getting bogged down is these felt essential and could be split across 2 companies if necessary.

2c - T64 Main Battle Tanks (x15): Build, Prime & Paint

Followed the same steps to prime the new models as for the previous, what i call my ‘underweathered base’:

Army Painter Leather Brown rattle can on the undersides of both the chassis and the turret.
Vallejo Russian Green Primer [74.609] on the top surfaces.

Don’t want everything to look too neat and tidy. The bits of brown visible underneath give the impression of a tank that’s been through a few puddles and dust storms.

Paint Job

A quick highlight using a desert tan drybrushed and picking out some features, plus DunkelGrau/Dark Blue-Grey on the rubber skirts before a general wash over using a 50% dilution of Citadel Agrax Earthshade to act as a tone and darken some recesses ahead of a proper pin wash of elements like the vent panels etc later. The only areas with any significant pooling of shade will be under the turret.
