Shaltari Tomahawk Grav Tank

More Shaltari for my ”pearl tribe”. 

I should find a fitting name given to the by the humans.
The humans name the diffrent tribes or give them a code name after human tribes from their past. Im thinking on giving them a name of some tribe famous for diving after pearls, or fishing in coral reefs but Im not sure on what yet.

  

Here I got some Tomahawk grav tanks. I love the sleek profile, and the big gun. Painted in the same way as my previously aa tanks but with a little different color palette. They are a little brighter. The main barrel of the canon was given a reddish tone. Im not totally sure if I should have gone for green or yellow instead but it works with red. Maybe test another color further on this project.

Thanks for watching.

After some further experimenting I think I have found my paint scheme.   

The “panels” are painted in orange/red warm colors to make a contrast to the cooler blue/purple that I have chosen as the main color. And all the lights and stuff will be painted green, another color I havnt used on the model yet.

The inspiration to this paint scheme is taken from deep-sea creatures, Jellyfish and the creatures from the movie The Abyss. 

Wip – Shaltari

Work in progress pictures on my Shaltari from Dropzone Commander.

Last night I started to experiment with a paint scheme on my Shaltari. The original plan was to try to achieve a look that resembles a deep-sea creature or a jellyfish. It did not turn out exactly how I had envisioned them but still somewhere close to what I had originally planned.

This is how they look now(under crappy photo light…).

Im not sure how I should continue, but some silver is planned and the flat panels should be given an different color to make them stand out a little, maybe orange or yellow.

Any idea or tip is welcome.

Thanks for watching.

Shaltari, Dropzone Commander

Dropzone Commander from Hawk Wargames.

So I posted some pictures from Salute 2012 of this new game on my gaming clubs forum and the ball started rolling… The miniatures are spectacular and it’s a fresh breeze on the gaming heaven.
Some friend got each an starting army and have played some games at the club. The little I have seen so far looks promising.

But with a new game there are so many options, what team to start collecting and what color scheme to choose for them.

I ended with the Shaltari as no one had chosen them yet and I thought you could really go bananas with the painting on some aliens.

The plan is to paint the Shaltari to look like some deep-sea creature. So white with some blue/red/green is the plan. We will see how that turns out.

Enough with my babbling and to the pictures…
It just arrived today, my Shaltari force. I got an large premium army and some blisters.  

So here is a small unboxing with some pictures. More pictures later on when I have started to assembly some or have some painted.

This weekend I managed to get some time for painting mininatures. It feels like first time in ages.

I went back to Flames of war and painted three Sherman tanks with dublex drive. Ready to storm Festung Europa, some support to my slowly growing 29^th Assault division.
