I couldn’t resist painting up this Solar Auxilia Malcador tank in my Cadian scheme to boost my forces with even more firepower. Cheers to @officialwarhammer for sending over the plastic Solar Auxilia set!
My Cadian scheme doesn’t need any airbrush plus I’ll get way more play time with it rather than with Solar Auxilia! You can easily swop out the colours used to match your own scheme, but if you have any questions let me know!

Love the idea of tank identification on the roof, reminds me of when the coalition forces put orange flags on their vehicles so friendly air would know not to shoot them
and then friendly air killed a shit Ton of Englishmen because spotting orange at 2k feet is impossible 😅
Yep its a fun little touch.
Awesome job! Love the look of 30k tanks along side the Astra Militarum troops... especially Cadians. My back story... after the fall of Cadia, equipment is scarce, so older tank variants have been pressed into service once again.
Great idea for the older tanks.
That looks fantastic, really liking the stipple painting worked so effectively
Ye I really enjoy it. Works a treat.
Such a simple paint job but super effective, looks great 👍, will have to try this on my tanks in the future
Love hearing that! Yes it’s so easy and makes it look like you spent way longer on it than you did 😄
Gorgeous work, my man! I need one of these for my 195th Cadian Fireflies, stat!
Agreed you do for sure e
4:20 I still remember using a brush to actually brush paint the tanks of my first few of armies. I wasted SO MUCH TIME and got streaky finishes with brush marks instead of just stippling like this. So much better this way.
It does work a treat for tanks.
Great looking kit! Nice work and love the backstory!
Tanks. I love adding a bit of character to my guard stuff.
This video has inspired me to return to my half finished Krieg Russ, though with the new Auxillia tanks I may get those for my Krieg.
I'd love to see one done in your Krieg scheme, but as long as it fits the army theme.
I have two resin once destined for my kreig so need to get them done.
@@MediocreHobbies awesome can't wait to see them.
A great technique, well demonstrated. Thanks.
Anytime pal. Glad you liked it.
Nice job Andy - I didn't think I needed one of these but your build has persuaded me!
Hahaha I’m sorry I think.
Awesome video Andy. I greatly appreciate you not using an air brush too. This video has greatly helped me. Thank you 👍🏻
Happy to hear that pal.
Amazing paint job congrates !!! Looking forward to having more than 1 of these 😎great video, thanks for sharing 👍🍻
Anytime pal.
Fantastic result on this one Andy, like you I have never been as impressed with this chassis as some of the others, but seeing yours finished and painted its growing on me, and ofc now it’s in plastic that doesn’t hurt its chances……. Perhaps my traitors need one 🤔🤣
Hahaha maybe they do. Maybe they do.
A neat tank it really has nifty look .
Cheers.
Always enjoy a stipple tank! Cheers guys 👍🏼
Anytime Pal.
That is a fantastic looking piece of kit.
Cheers.
Very cool! I will try this on my own Malcador which i just ordered 😁
Hope you enjoy it!
Great looking tank
Cheers.
Looks class, the Malcador is a cool tank, thought about getting one myself for my guard army in 40k.
Go for it. It’s a great tank.
Looks cool. 👍
Cheers.
I go to your channel for terrain painting tutorials. It’s influenced entire battlefields for me.
Can you please do a video painting some Wall of Martyrs Terrain???
Third times the charm lol.
Very nice results, the tank looks like it been kept reasonably clean but is no longer factory fresh. I've drybrushed in the past but will have to look into stippling.
It’s good fun and gets good results. I’m a big fan.
Fantastic job. 4 in a day! I would be happy to paint 4 in a year.
Hahhaha as long as your happy lol
damn I just love the imperial guard tanks, they're so cool, I alreay have 1 baneblade, 3 lemans, 4 Rogals.. but this malcators looking fire!
4 rogals? I’m jelous.
Haha! I used the cadian commander for the same thing. Though the older resin malcador kit, put him in there for my Militia.
Nice. I think both my older resin once will become cadians maybe. I’m still not sure.
That's a nice mainline battle tank, reminds me of World of Tanks even. One of the first things back in the day that I wanted to play was Guard for the tanks... but then I heard it was mostly just "Paint blobs and blobs of bland guardsmen with a few weapons teams sprinkled in." I got turned off quickly, prolly the one mini I'd like to own for Guard is Lord Solar Macharius. He looks like a boss imho. Speaking of ancient mini's from Warhammer past, picked up a mounted Damsel of the MTO series and the Wood Elf Shadow Dancer (Shadow Coil) variants the other day. I'm shocked at how tiny the horse is for the MTO Damsel... I might have to pull one of my old spare chariot horses out of the bits box, rig it up with a sheet of green stuff as barding and give her a proper Bretonnian Warhorse.... even if it's an elven steed.
I also began collecting parts for a kitbash project... I figured I'd make a Duke on Hippogriff using the Gryph-Charger from the Masters of the Sacrosanct kit's front end, stuck to the rear end of a Royal Pegasus.... I still have a few old sprues worth of bits and bobs I might be able to use to fill in gaps with my High Elf parts as well. I just hope the parts line up better than the kitbash using the High Elf Griffin from the Island of Blood, that one looks too squished and squatty to me. Any suggestions as to customizing the Duke? I could dig through my High Elf parts some more, I have a ton of kits like the White Lions, Phoenix Guard, Dragon Mage, BSB Noble + Prince kit etc that might be able to source some bits and bobs in a pinch. I'm just worried the Duke might not look very Bretonnian. :P
I’d love to see that conversion. It sounds ace.
Its like a Dorn but better looking.
I love the dorn lol.
Looks great, ive never thought about doing armour like this, ill be giving it a try though. Would it work just as easily for the traditional cadian two tone armour colour scheme? Just needing to be careful with brush placement around the transition lines?
Yep should work fine. And you would just stipple the whole tank like this and the add the blue tac and then start with the tan. Should look great.
I see Cadia I press like that’s my style sir. But really nice work on this one!
I appreciate that! It was a lot of fun to do!
@@MediocreHobbies this convinced me to add one to my cadians, can’t wait!
Looks great, yet another job well done 👍
I've only rly seen these painted as Krieg tanks, but it looks nice in the cadian green colours.
Side note, I know your going through the Solar Auxiliary stuff atm and the Old World, but you did a series of videos on the old classic guard regiments, I was rly looking forward to seeing the Mordian one, but you never got around to it, is it not planned or maybe it's on the list of future stuff?
It is indeed still planned I still need to get my hands on one. I’ve never owned a mordian.
Dude! You did a GREAT job on this tank! I actually like all the transfers! Well done. I am experimenting with using rubber stamps instead of transfers. Possibly with embossed lettering. Let me know if interested.
Oh I’m very interested please let me know how it turns out.
@@MediocreHobbiesI will share the results on the prototype tank I am currently finishing up.
@MediocreHobbies Turned out great. I highly recommend stamps instead of transfers. I learned that embossing works well on resin but NOT plastic (it gets too hot for plastic). I could send you pics...
damn thats some awesome work. Do you think te stipling effect also would work with black for adepta sororitas?
Oh yes 100%
Loving the tank. I followed your Rogal dorns video using this style. Mortarion next please, just started a death guard army. Thank you.
He is such a big project. But does need doing.
@@MediocreHobbies yeah I bet. But I’m gonna lay off painting him until you do it so I can follow lol. Unless you give a run down of what paints you’d use?
The primary colors on my entire dark angels army are done with stippling. The effect is fantastic to create wear, heavy use and age in a model.
Yeah it really sets it apart from a flat looking toy!
Really hoping it won't be Legend'ed with the next Guard codex.
Ye that would be a shame.
Personally, despite the trench warfare aesthetic, I really prefer the idea of the malcadors going into a Cadian force rather than Krieg. Krieg aren't typically known for using the Malcador but rather they are known for fighting it a lot during the Siege of Vraks. By M41 it's generally not given to newly equipped regiments like Krieg, since the Leman Russ is technically superior in universe. The Malcador therefore I think fits better with Cadians, who are not as fresh on the block as the Death Korps, having instead been defending the Imperium for thousands of years. That's plenty of time to build up a supply of ancient vehicles with stories histories like Holn's Revenge. Who knows what great battles it took part in before Holn took command of it!
Yep all that makes sence. Love it.
I love it ! Do you have any tips if i want a similare paint for Death Korps ?
Same steps but use the paints o use to airbrush up my kreig tank.
Looks like a proper vehicle for some renegades and heretics 😈
Oh dear you have plans 😄
I read that that was a close range tank, supposedly. Odd to have a casemate as such. Weird.. Those were tank destroyers. Not brawlers.
I’ve no idea. Never thought about it that hard.
@@MediocreHobbies It's just some of the curiosities with the WH tanks and troops. Comes from the era of not having easy to get to and use sources. If you look at the Primaris tanks (actually IFVs) they're starting to get to the modern style stuff. So Malcador as an STC is lorewise a ludicrous thing. :) Do these look amazing? Yes. So I want these for my Ultramar PDF/troops? Absolutely. Do your army stuff look great? I love them and the ease you have in painting them.
When they note amounts of troops in the lore they're talking about amount of soldiers that would be small wars ala Ukraine. Vraks would have had to have something like half a billion soldiers from Imperium's side at least. It was a planetary conflict, even if localised.
It looks amazing but you sadly cant use the vanquisher canon im 40k
Hmmm Damit. Friendly games I’m sure my friends won’t mind.
Lovely work, but why does no one on TH-cam pronounce behemoth correctly anymore?
It's buh-hee-muhth.
Not bae-a-mof.
No idea. Just the way I’ve always said it.
Please stop catering to people that don’t have an airbrush. You can get a compressor and a decent airbrush for the price of a warband box.
One less box in the pile of shame to get a tool that you can use to make your hobby time better
It’s not just about money pal, some people don’t have an area suitable for airbrushing. Some people also have might trouble with their hands and using an airbrush would make things harder for them.
There’s enough airbrushing videos out there, including on my own channel, for people who have one, what’s the harm in showing people a different method?
@@MediocreHobbies brother, if you have room for any of this, you have room for an airbrush. If you have the dexterity to hold a brush, you have dexterity to hold an airbrush. All the rest is just an excuse. Also, there are 200X more brush than airbrush videos.
Help push people out of their box. People will stack kits to the ceiling and not have enough room or money for an airbrush.
@@MediocreHobbies and just looking back, airbrush videos are rare on your channel.
@MediocreHobbies I use both airbrush and stippling, depends on what end look I want. Lots of people aren't aware of using stippling as a technique, so please keep it up.
@@lanesteele240 i've made a point of not doing them on my channel, it's not going to change
