LTP Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hey everyone. I recieved my forgeworld order this week and i can now go ahead with the latest addition to my Lightning Hawks; my Damocles command rhino. I ordered some extra armour and some imperial eagle doors. to save myself £20 i have attempted to make my own radar dish, so here you go. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo132/chloer90/IMG_0174.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo132/chloer90/IMG_0177.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo132/chloer90/IMG_0178.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo132/chloer90/IMG_0179.jpg This was made from various parts in the rhino and razorback box sets. I made the Dish out of plasticard. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo132/chloer90/IMG_0180.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo132/chloer90/IMG_0181.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo132/chloer90/IMG_0182.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo132/chloer90/IMG_0183.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo132/chloer90/IMG_0184.jpg So let me know what you think. Obviously it is a WIP so i will try and get some paint on it soon and get it all undercoated. C&C appreciated. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154900-lightning-hawks-my-diy-chapter/page/3/#findComment-1963070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DibbZi Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Cool concept, but why not just get the FW kit for the Domonicles (sp) Rhino which is basicly the same thing your building there.

Messanger of Death Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 YAY! Space Marines with my favourite colour. If only it was easy to add purple into Black Templar colour scheme. I was curious as to what colours you have used for the chapter symbol. Is it fortress grey and then skull white or have you used a darker grey as well? I am just as slow a painter as you, so your not alone. But it is rewarding when you look at one model with almost complete highlights and looking at one with just basecoat. Also your blue looks fine, thought can always put a dilute blue wash over it to dull down the highlights if that is whats bothering you. Cheers, Messanger Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154900-lightning-hawks-my-diy-chapter/page/3/#findComment-1963696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTP Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Cheers for the advice dude. I think ill try the wash. As for the symbol i use adeptus battlegray foundation watered down slightly then i highlight up to skull white.

xXwarsmithXx Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hey, just thought I would point this out, but I think your side doors are on the wrong side, as I usually see the eagle facing into combat. Looks really good though and I like the scouts camo B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154900-lightning-hawks-my-diy-chapter/page/3/#findComment-1964355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kikunosuke Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 That's a sexy purple Rhino with a sexy scratchbuilt radar on a sexy piece of terrain. If you don't mind me asking, what's all the blue shattered bits on the terrain?

LTP Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi cheers for the comment. The blue parts are water and tiles. The Shards are tiles. The blue on the base is water but the photos dont really do it justice as it is varnished and it doenst show very well on the camera.

The Normish Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Your Rhino's name plate says "1st Coy Command Rhino" What is a Coy, or did you mean Com. as in Company?

Rob_Loken Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 That's a good looking force there. Like the black and purple scheme. The hazard lines on the rhino are good too as is the nmm work. Kudos. Also The Normish : coy is the abbreviation for company.

Kudos.Also The Normish : coy is the abbreviation for company. Since when? I certainly have never heard it or seen it. I actually quite like the color scheme distribution, I have always been partial towards purple.

sword brethren Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 i remember your rhino from a while back and im pleased to see another update. as usual you have done the purple perfectly and really made your minis stand out. well done :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154900-lightning-hawks-my-diy-chapter/page/3/#findComment-2433890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofmanynames Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 These guys have some really good paint jobs, good job. I especially like the banner on the dread and your rhino. Also the extra armor you give your marines around the neck makes it look like errant armor, I think that makes your command squad look like real veterans.
