Hello everyone!
I am looking for some feedback on my Baneblade I painted a few months back. Anything that I should do differently the next time around?

Welcome!
For Table Top it is ok Few things could help to make it look better:
- edge highlighting looks always good on tanks
- try to fill the gaps - i.e. metal cans at the back
- weathering - rust, mud, dust, smoke... they make vehicles look interesting
- lights, small windows - try to paint them like gems

Re: Baneblade
Could you tell us something more about the model, its purpose, yourself as a painter, your goals, etc?
You know, there would be different feedback for a beginner and different for an expert painter. Different for a model that is supposed to be a gaming piece, and different for a painting competition entry...

Re: Baneblade
@Mahon - yes, that would be helpful...
@Doelago - but, whatever your goal is, mould lines are never cool
welcome to the forum, btw!

Re: Baneblade
Quick reply since I am in a hurry to catch a train.
I have not added any elemental weathering yet, for I have not decided on what sort of gameboard I am going to make, and I want the likes of mud to match the board.
Gotta run now. Thanks for the replies guys, will check in again on Monday.
Ouh, yes, I need to pic up some Liquid Green stuff and fill those gaps.sea.man wrote:Welcome!

Uh, ouh, yes, the model is supposed to be a gaming piece. So table top quality is what I was looking for. Now that I look at it, I seem to not have added any company markings...mahon wrote:Could you tell us something more about the model, its purpose, yourself as a painter, your goals, etc?

Mold lines? Where! Time to bring a knife to a gun fight.Nameless wrote: @Doelago - but, whatever your goal is, mould lines are never cool

Re: Baneblade
Careful on the company markings. If it's just the number or something oki, but if it's something about an army, Baneblades are not supposed to be owned by anything else than the Imperial Guard, they join the Space Marines just as support, thus, you'll never see any Baneblades with a specific Space Marine army marking.Doelago wrote:Now that I look at it, I seem to not have added any company markings...
Re: Baneblade
I was thinking of a red/white/red stripe at the front of the top section with a number and possibly some symbol.

Re: Baneblade
I think you should have put a bit more time in the preparation: quite some mold lines visible.
I also think you should try out a gem effect on the windows and lights. It's a small effort but the result would look so much better.
