Macharius Vanquisher - Gold GD UK 2008

Hi all!!! Ok, here's some fresh pics of the Tallarn desert-pattern Macharius Vanquisher which I have been working on on-and-off for almost a year now. It's based on the Forgeworld model but with over 70 custom designed brass-etch components added. The model was originally painted up for GD Spain in February and had about 170hrs work in it at that point. It didn't get anywhere in the Spanish comp for whatever reason... and subsequently had another 20hrs or so of 'tweaking' done to it after some great tips and ideas from the likes of Vincenti and Talonicus. All the work paid off and the tank won gold in the 40K vehicle category at the 2008 UK Demons... Dunno if I'll ever have the time and patience to give that much to a model again, but I'm just so thankful it was all worth it in the end!!! As always, comments and constructive criticism are appreciated. Ben
