Brother SRM Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Well, I got this Land Raider Crusader back in October, but waited on some Forgeworld doors through Christmas. I assembled it back in January, but only managed to spray paint it before coming back to my dorm in Boston. Tonight I decided to start a WIP log on it so I'd paint the damn thing! So enough exposition, on with the pics! Doodads separated for painting: Yeah, it's only black and pretty by the numbers so far, but it'll keep me motivated and you'll be seeing progress soon!

WarsmithAjai Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 For some reason, i really like the look of that front door section without the sponson. Looks like the marines would be able to jump out while it's still moving.

13thWarrior Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Excellent ... Â I am currently working on a Redeemer / Crusader. I am trying to magnet mount the weapons to switch out. Â I love the Redeemer's Sponsons and love the name 'The FireWorm'!

Brother SRM Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 I didn't magnetize mine, unfortunately! Then again, I'm pretty much using this as a means to get Blood Claws or Wolf Guard right into the thick of it. Â I'm thinking "Guardian of Asgard" (GoGo Amon Amarth references!) or "Russ' Minivan" for this beast, but I'm open to suggestions. Â I made some progress and will have some pics up soon!

Brother SRM Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Well, between last night and today I managed to get 2 coats of Shadow Grey on and it's shaping up nicely I'd say! The mock assembled version (bits aren't glued on yet) Planning on painting the doors yellow, what do you guys think? I decided to add some brass etch in place of the skulls on the sponsons, and I keep forgetting to paint the multi-melta. Dunno if there will be an update tonight since I'll be working on finals, but hope you guys like how it's coming along!

Brother SRM Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well, it took 2 coats of white and 3 coats of yellow, but I'm almost happy with how the yellow is turning out on this thing. All pictures are still mock-assembled: I've got plans for the assault launchers, just you wait... Got more cleanup to do tomorrow, but tell me how you think it's coming along!

Spacefrisian Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 It looks great, especially how that yellow turned out. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164846-lets-paint-a-land-raider-crusader/#findComment-1940280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 yellow!!!!! :tu: i forgot about the yellow on SW, ah well :P :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164846-lets-paint-a-land-raider-crusader/#findComment-1940317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother SRM Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Painting the yellows and reds on Wolves is one of my favorite parts of painting them! (well, 3 coats of yellow notwithstanding...) I'm going to paint the frag launchers in a yellow/red checkerboard or in triangles that I think will look really nice. Also gonna do some big "teeth" on the yellow panels. Updates later today, hopefully! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164846-lets-paint-a-land-raider-crusader/#findComment-1940706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother SRM Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Alright, took a few days, but I finally got back to painting a bit! The colors are much more vibrant in person; hopefully I'll get some better lighting for when I complete the beast Anyone else like this checkerboard idea? It's based on some Viking shields I've seen before. And more pretty much identical shots of the sides, but you can see the brass etch now!: I finally did some work on the hatches as can be seen, but mostly just to say I did. Also it looks like I missed a few spots. Tell me what you think! EDIT: Anyone have any idea what to do in the space between the frag launchers? Blacklining looked like garbage. Think I might let the colors square off in the middle, but that'll be messy. I've got plans for the big yellow panels too, just you wait...

theredcorsair Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Quite honestly, the launchers look a bit garish. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164846-lets-paint-a-land-raider-crusader/#findComment-1970456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
