IMPERIAL GUARD TANK
CAMOUFLAGE SCHEMES
Tanks... we all love them. If you own a 40K army, you probably have a tank of some sort. In this article we examine some of the many camouflage options you can choose from, as well as environmental effects.
Even Tyranid players have access to a form of tanks, with the hellish living tank called a Carnifex. However, one army has the ability to field loads of tanks: the unstoppable, galaxy-spanning Imperial war machine known as the Imperial Guard. To help all the indecisive Senior Officers out there select or develop a cool colour scheme for their armoured behemoths, Games Workshop assembled a crack team of painters and asked them to come up with interesting camouflage patterns. There's loads to look at and digest, so you're bound to leave here with a few good ideas bouncing around your skull.
In addition to camo schemes, we're going to divulge the secrets techniques for weathering your tanks to represent the many environments they fight in. Step-by-step examples will guide you through this process and make you look like an old vet at the fine art of tank modelling. Wait, there's more! To wrap up our little plasteel-plate-themed hobby how-to, we'll take a close-up look at the latest Imperial Tank Accessory sprue, and then go over each piece of equipment and its battlefield usage.
