Back to tracks and 1995 - Ultramarines done old school
First Impulsor done
Here’s the first Impulsor. As an advanced level kitbash, it came out pretty well, I think – it looks like it was made this way.
To paint it, I did:
1. recess shade with GW Night Lords air
2. highlight with lighter version of the Ultramarine blue, using a grey-blue to lighten it.
3. painted metallics with Leadbelcher and washed them with Nuln Oil
4. went with vintage style red bolter casings on the side turrets
5. yellow on the eagles and skulls was done with Averland Sunset, wash Fuegan Orange, highlight Yriel Yellow, final with Dorn Yellow.
Decals were a mix of the kit decals and some from the new Ultramarine upgrade kit.
this looks so real and vintage at the same time. and it also looks like an official design, nothing looks out of place. great job!
@miniature-philosopher Many thanks! It was a fun project. I have three more to convert of various designs; I also sent the project from concept to finish to White Dwarf!
Very cool; looks like a proper tank XD
Thanks! @gorram
Excellent work. I share your disdain for floaty marine tanks- pure tech heresy! This looks beefy and everything lines up nicely! Looking forward to seeing the rest
Many thanks @avien !
Great conversion – looks much better. I did not catch this project from the beginning, but stuff like this I find great.
Many thanks @nightrunner
