OK first let me say that comments would be appreciated! On this update or the last 2 updates that got NO comments whatsoever...

Starting to think I have B.O or somethin. Feelin like the new kid in the cafeteria....

Comments help keep us painters goin.

 

Sorry for the semi-poor image quality. Still cant seem to nail it.

 

Paint comes across as thicker than it looks in person ...again. and Just noticed the Las barrel is kinds crooked :P

Wanted to add a storm bolter but didn't think it would fit under the lascannon if it turns...

Turrent fits in a whole made for it. I will be getting some sort of Blood angel Bit to fit over the top hatch when the turrent isnt on so It can function as a rhino as well.

@ Wakim Heres a wip image of the razorback....was bought as you see below from ebay.

Also, the grail is from the Space hulk set.

I like the old Rhino's design/appearence...but not its size. Though the new one isn't much better it always has bugged me that 10 marines are supposed to fit in there. Ah well, I suppose a lot of aspect of the game cant be realistic scale due to playability.

 

 

Thank everyone for your replies. Greatly appreciated =)

How did you layer/shade/highlight your gold honour guard?

 

I love the termies too by the way :(

 

snakebite leather base->brown ink wash-> shining gold -> shining gold+ mithril silver highlight.

 

just bought burnished gold for SG to try something a bit different. We will see how it works.

 

Thanks!

made from dread plastic kit that came out a few years back. Thinned the BA peices from our new dread kit and added them

comments welcome and appreciated!

The venerable dreadnaught plastic kit has one.

 

Nice dread by the way.

 

Your weapons loadout got me thinking - an assault cannon and an autocannon - that you could mount the assault cannon in the center torso and an autocannon in each shoulder, and have a dreadnaught with no arms.

nota big fan of the square dread arms but a PLASTIC plasmacannon? :devil: when did this happen?

 

you mean the autocannons? I kinda feel the same way. I thought I was ordering the smaller ones like seen on my other rifleman that convert well to attach to typical dread weapon arms....but the bigger ones arrived. So now I need to make the other side the same. (since I like these enough not to undo them :P)

OK finally got around to finishing the first assault squad.

Its Smallmouth Bass fishing time around here and I have been very preoccupied. =D

I know its heresy but I gotta say fishing is my first love...warhammer fills the time between casts.

 

anyway here are the pics....and lots of them.

 

As always please share your comments, they are a painters motivation =)....and my apologies about the dog hairs...they get everywhere in my house (german shepherd) and I don't notice them until the picture is taken.

Man! I missed those honour gaurd (I've not been lurking as much recently :P ). Very, very nice work :) , I like the use of the DA robes on these guys. Love the assault marines too, especially the 4th pic. I'm not too sure about the purple wash/ undercoat on the white wings in the 5th pic though, just personal taste really. Really nice painting. I'll be keeping an eye out for updates as I've got my painting mojo back again and am in the middle of updating my BA <_<

 

Keep it up!!!
