I´ve been working on this one for about a week:

 

First the individual parts so far:

The display base is gonna be sloping so it fits the angle of the "body" somewhat.

 

Comments and advice appreciated :(

I think this is brilliant so far and am going to watch with anticipation for the details and legs to form - i can picture it in my mind already.

 

I'm not very familiar with the whole daemonic possession of a rhino, but does the cannon serve a purpose in game or is it "rule of cool"?

Thanks for all the kind words :) - I´ll keep this updated whenever I do something worth taking a picture of.

 

The model in itself won´t be used for gaming because the way I´m planning it it will be too big and fragile to be usable on a gamingtable - it´ll be more like a displaypiece. BUT if anyone were to copy it - or parts of it - I would think it could be used as a rhino, a predator (rhino with a gun), a defiler (8 legs), or a baneblade (size + barrel from the baneblade kit). Plus it would be fairly easy to customize to whatever kind of tank you would want - like a landraider if a different chassis were used as the basis.

Update time.

 

I´ve just about finished the head, and the tissue that´connects the head to the Rhino-chassis. Ive made it in 2 seperate pieces, and also seperate from the chassis for ease of painting.

 

I´ve added skin to the entire head, and also added a lot of small details - most noticeably the white plugs. These will have several uses. Some will be used for hoses which I´ll add after painting the model, which will help "pull together" the model, because the tubes and hoses will go to and from different parts of the models. Other plugs I´ll leave empty just for use as "greebles", and a few of the plug I´ll add watereffects to, making it look like they are oozing various disgusting bodily fluids.

This is how far I´ve come so far.

 

As always - comments advice and constructive criticism is appreciated.

Well it's impressive, no doubt for that. However I must ask:

 

1) why a rhino?

2) why does the deamon have a gun in his mouth? And a big one at that

3) how is the thing gonna move if the head is beneath the rhino? (as in the wheels wont sit properly if you lay it down)

Thank you :lol:

 

As to your questions they are easily answered:

 

1 and 2 : A rhino was what I had lying around when I started, but I would most likely have used a rhino chassis even if I had a larger chassis lying around (like a LR). I find that the rhino is small enough to make it seems like the creature inside really is big and wants to come out - without having to go to modelling extremes. Also I have no plans whatsoever to game with it, so it doesn´t have to apply to any rules whatsoever - thats why it has a big mean gun in it´s mouth even though it´s a "lowly" transporter in the game.

3: It´s gonna have long creepy spindly legs - I´m thinking something like 30 cm at the moment - so it´s gonna have plenty of ground-clearance :lol:

  • 3 weeks later...

I´ve started on the base (just a little bit), and I´ve decided to use guards as the "cannon-fodder". So far I´ve abused one cadian command squad, but I´m considering going to town and getting an entire squad and just use them for mutilated bodies in the trench.

 

These ones are still very wip, and mostly just tacked together to see if I can get the right "feeling" from them.

 

The surviving guardsmen - making a futile attempt of stopping the tank (they will be placed to the side/behind it - up against a trenchwall):

One weakwilled guardsman succumbing to the chaotic taint of the rhino (also very wip so far). He´ll get a few more mutations, and when all done I´ll add some coloured UHU glue to simulate him puking his guts out:

I´ve also started on the legs, and allthough only the lowest part I´m still not done, as it still needs detaling/trim. I know it looks very heavy/big compared to the rhino, but that´s on purpose - the rest of the legs are gonna be much thinner. However I wanted the lower part of the legs to be heavily armored so they are better for stomping at puny guardsmen :D

Now I just need to learn how ta make moulds and cast stuff!

 

Comments and ideas are appreciated as always ;)

 

- I´m hoping it´s ok to post pictures of the guardsmen now they are gonna be horribly crushed underfoot of my chaos machine of death? :P
