Clear Horizon 15mm Apocalypse Tank

Hello all. No, this blog is not dead. I have been absent online, but I have been painting, now and then this past year.  Remember, I am a lazy blogger. 

So, to restart things a little, here is some vehicle eye candy, the Apocalypse Super Heavy Tank by Clear Horizons.  I painted this beast in the same manner as the mammoth tracked Tohlic APC from Alternative Armies. See my other blog post for this paint recipie.  The only difference is that I washed it in Polyshades Tudor after painting.  There were too many lines and nick knacks on the model to shade completely with an airbrush.

I added a couple of Old Crow Gladius hover tanks to the mix as well.  They were kicking around and needed a home. 

The paint scheme, a rich red, matches my Laserburn Imperial Troopers.  Since it is Far-Future Sci Fi, realism be damned. 




The Apocalypse measures 100mm x 60mm

Overall I am pleased with the result. It goes with the Tohlic APC and gives my Laserburn Imperial Troops some much needed punch.

    Your Martian wastes camo scheme looks spot on to me :-)

    1. It's a lovely model. No clean up at all. For some reason I love red on sci fi. I was going to do a traditional 3 tone camo but I am happy with this one.

    3. Thanks Paul. I need to add some smaller APCs and another hover tank. I have some smaller grav strike tanks from Alternative Armies which will be added too. They will be vehicles for my Imperial Army Scout detachment.
