Spartan Planetfall tanks

I'll be the first to admit this is no great paint scheme - but they were fun and quick to paint!

I think the paint scheme is great and do the models justice :)

Looks good to me.  Nice sculpts and a flattering paint job for them.

Sorry, VV, but have to side with Pred on the disagreement. Hope you aren't offended...  ;)

Mind, might have to give some cred to the tanks for taking a relatively simple scheme and looking THAT good.  :D

But, like the Scot, who, at his first exposure to American Baseball, saw a player who 'walked because he had four balls,' I have to tell you to 'Walk with pride, man!'

Aww, thanks.
Not offended at all, The_Beast.
But I agree the models themselves deserve credit. Resin with just the right amount of detail and relief.
Incidentally the domes on the two force field (?) tanks can be removed and replaced with AA guns - handy too.
Quick (if slightly unfocused) pic of them:

That little bit of modularity was always a selling point for that range.  I've seen people do kitbashed terrain that let you use the (currently) unused toppers as fortifications.  Good extra use of bits, that.

Not surprised - placed in a recess, these look in place as part of a defence system.
Anyone with more time (and skill!) in their hands could really go to town with these models.
