How I Paint Things - Imperial Armour: Leman Russ

The Leman Russ is the main battle tank of the Astra Militarum, and a staple of any collection of Imperial Guard stalwarts. Produced en masse by forge worlds across the Imperium, there's few foes that can withstand their armoured might! READ MORE:

With the same basic techniques used to paint your infantry - block colours, a shade and a drybrush to highlight - you can get a Leman Russ on the table in no time. The total painting time spent on this one was around two hours, not a bad turnaround for a couple of evenings of hobby time. Tanks are an ideal candidate for 'edge drybrushing,' where you can highlight very quickly. Whether you're just getting started or an inveterate treadhead, I think this is a pretty solid method for turning out your armoured support choices for any Imperial force. Try swapping colours for different climates or urban environments!

This video comes courtesy of a very generous donation over on my Ko-Fi page, so a massive thank you to the contributor that made this possible - I'm not sure if they're wanting a shout out or to keep it on the down low, but it's very much appreciated and I hope this helps get some of their Guard tanks painted and on the table. :D
