Making the base.

I used Magic Sculpt to make the stones. I flattened the clay with a brush handle and then cut pieces that I then pushed onto the surface. Trying to shape them to look like stones.

After that had dried properly, I used Vallejo’s dark earth goo and smeared it out over the rest of the base and some inbetween the stones.

I then painted the earth with Mournfang brown.

The stones got a wash with Agrax earthshade och then was drybrushed with grey. The dirt was drybrushed with Zandri dust and Ashabti stone.

Grass and more paint was added and then some tufts.

I put the tank on to check how it looked.

Considering I don’t usually do bases like this, I think it turned out quite nice.
I think I’ll add a few yellow splashes to represent flowers of some kind and do some dirt weathering on the tank.

After pushing in the sides and glueing them a bit at a time, I managed to sort the gaps. I used glue goo to sort the rest.

The engineer commander was drybrushed with grey and then white.

Then I started painting him with red, blue and yellow.

I painted the steam tank sides in black and the upper and lower parts in dark bronze. The shields was painted blue and then most of the ornaments was painted in gold.

More colour was added to the figure.

Painting details took quite a while and here it’s almost done.

Adding skin colours and some details to the tank I’ll consider it done.

The only thing left to do is to sort the base!

This tank is part of the Empire batallion box for TOW (the old world).

Here I’ve already assembled the turret, boiler and a few other parts.

According to the intructions there’s an option between these two parts.

It wasn’t until after I watched a video where someone built the Age of Sigmar version that I realised the head was an option for the top of the chimney.

After some tim I had assembled enough to start painting.

The wood, some of the metal parts and the inside of the side panels got paint.

Next I painted some Retributor Armor on the gun and other parts mainly on the interior.

The boiler and chimney also got metal colours, and the gun was glued in place.

The dials was painted white and also later got red to mark maximum pressure or whatever.
The inside of the walls was given a wash of Nuln oil and then some dry brushing with grey.
Here’s a test fit.

All the bronze parts got a wash with Agrax Earthshade and then I drybrushed with brons and silver. Here everything is ready for assembly.

Next I assembled the sides.

My idea was to have the top part removable but after dry fitting it looked like this.

As can be seen there’s small gaps in some places.
In order to sort that it looks like I have to glue the sides to the top and hold in pressure until it dries. I think minimizing the gaps is to prefere.
