"In the nightmare future of the 41st millennium, Mankind teeters upon the brink of extinction. The galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man is beset on all sides by ravening aliens, and threatened from within by malevolent creatures and heretic rebels. Only the strength of the Immortal Emperor of Terra stands between Humanity and its annihilation. Dedicated to His service are the countless warriors, agents and myriad servants of the Imperium. Foremost amongst them stand the Space Marines, mentally and physically engineered to be the supreme fighting force, the ultimate protectors of Mankind.
Wars rage over airless moons, in the dark, twisted depths of hive worlds and in the cold wastes between stars. From the immaterial realm of warp space, malicious entities send their unspeakable minions to slaughter the Emperor's chosen. Everywhere, soulless spectres and slavering monsters are poised to extinguish the life of Humanity."

This is actually a very importamt model for two reason. Firstly, I made it with my son, Daniel, and although following the box art to some degree, the colour scheme was his idea. Secondly, this was the model that actually started me up again after a two year hiatus!
The Eldar Fire Prism Grav Tank was primarily sprayed using Citadel Chaos Black and the red areas are Tamiya's Italian Red from the AS aerosol range. Details were then hand painted.
OK, I know it's fantasy and all very much Sci-Fi, but the skills used here are no different to those employed in building scale aircraft, or indeed any other type of model. In fact I had as much fun doing this as I've ever had!
