Here’s some pics of my finished White Scars Spartan tanks!
I’m happy with how they turned out, and they fit well with the Thunderhawk in the same paint scheme.

Spartan assault tanks – Legiones Astartes – Games Workshop
I bought this box together with a few other Legions Imperialis boxes. After doing my 2nd Thunderhawk build, I decided to do a few more troops/units in White Scars’s paint scheme.
I removed and cleaned up the parts for all four tanks.
As with many of GW’s newer kits, they are very easy to build, and everything goes together very smoothly, with barely no visible seams at all.
There was options for 2 different side guns and 2 main guns, as well a few otions for the command turret. I choose to have one commander and 3 gunners.
Then it was time for some primer and later some paint. Using more or less the same colours I used on the Thunderhawk.
I haven’t decided how I will paint the red pattern on these vehicles yet. I’ll think about it a while.

Here’s some pics of my finished build!
This was a quick and fun build! Using Speed Paint to paint the major parts of the ship was an interesting experience, that turned out better than expected. It sure is a way to get models and figures painted faster. And if done right they turn out looking quite good as well!
Thunderhawk Gunship – part 3
First I gave it an overall cote of black primer.
Then a grey primer at about 45-60 degrees around from the top.
Then white primer was sprayed almost from above.
After that I did some dry brushing with white to pick up some details even on the underside.
Then I used Speed paint on parts of the ship. This time I used airbrush instead of brushing it on by hand.
As can be seen the base was masked to allow for the metal colour.
I masked the ship for the next step and realized that perhaps it was best to paint the windows first.
After also masking the windows, i first painted white on the areas where the first colour was showing. Then Goblin green was painted on the rest of the ship.
The tape was then removed.
It turned out pretty good, but I wasn’t totally happy with the demarcations in some places.
But since this is a speed build, I’m not re-painting it.
After removing the tape from the windows and placed it on its stand, it looked like this!
The windows got some shadows and highlight in an attempt to make them look like glass.
All the guns and engines got metal paint.
Next I’ll do some highlights, pin wash and general weathering.

This is the gift I got from my Swedish Secret Santa that I started to build for a speed build group build on HLI.
It’s a fairly easy build and everything fits very nice. GW are also specialists on hiding seam lines and ejection pin marks are nowhere to be seen.
The only thing you need to do is remove nubs and mold lines before assembly.
That was how far I got yesterday. There’s a few more parts to sort before it’s ready for primer and paint.
Secret Santa and a few more items added to my stash
First up is my Swedish Secret Santa gift, that I opened up today, as we usually exchange gifts on Christmas eve.
That was a nice gift, especially since I plan to get the game.
Also earlier today I collected a pair of parcels I’ve ordered from GW last month.
Love those special figures they do. I just had to have one.
Both these boxes are new editions of earlier Combat Patrol boxes. I thought the differences was big enough to actually get them.
