[Augustus b'Raass]

Cheers, guys! I have to confess the Khornate fire that burned last week has died down somewhat. Apparently painting 25 marines in quick consession isn't really good for motivation. ;) As a large FW order just came in today, I decided to work on the second Rhino!

 

The dozer blade is obvisouly from the new Genestealer cult Rockgrinder - but with a Mark of Khorne and - more importantly - the saw blades reversed. Instead of outward en downward, they now point inward en upward. Beware even more ye who stands in front of it now!!

Thanks for looking, and for any and all C&C. :)

@ Aasfresser: That's a nice way of descirbing him, actually. The runt of the litter might get a place at the teat after all. ;)

 

@ Race Bannon: Thanks, and yeah, I know, right!?

 

@ The Hydra: That's exactly how I think about it. :D

 

@ SanguiniusReborn: That was the 3.5 COdex, and sadly I wasn't into the hobby in that period. I quit just before 3.5 came out. Perfect timing, right? I'd probably never have finished university if I'd stayed ni the hobby for only two months extra.
 

@ Brother Mayhem: Totally go for it. Even though the boots are a drawback, I have no regrets.

 

@ The Traitor: Yeah, the icon bearer is the axe-wielding DV chosen with the skeletal breast plate. I'm not into assassins myself (I don't really dig taking allies), but I'll be sure to check yorus out! :)

 

@ hushrong: I just ordered the original Khârn (even though I think the new one fits my new Khornate aesthetic better) for that purpose exactly. I already have the spartan. ;)

@ Mechanist: Yay! I'm very happy to hear that, buddy! I hope you'll find some hobby time soon. :tu:

Oh my lord yes, that Dozer Blade was made to RIP AND TEAR, I can just see it plowing through crowds of terrified Guardsmen as the Blood God roars with laughter from atop his Skull Throne! Please tell me you're gonna coat that beautiful monster with a sweet, sweet gore paintjob! :devil: Edited January 10, 2017 by SanguiniusReborn

[Aasfresser]

Wonderful... Now I need that dozerblade. And a Khornate Rhino. And a Khornate Squad. Thanks a lot, Augustus. :/

[Brother Pheidias]

Hadn't seen the Berzerkers, they're ace.

Great use of that plow-thingy indeed!

[DuskRaider]

Awww man... the minute I saw that dozer blade for the Cult I knew I had to have it on my Word Bearers' eventual Rhinos, but I wasn't sure it would fit well. Thank you for confirming that it will work. Looks awesome, as do the World Eaters themselves.

[ShVagYeR]

A Khornish Deffrolla is the best thing I've seen this week, hands down. :D Nicely done!

[Teetengee]

Choppa!

[Pyroclast91]

You sir are a bloody genius I'd considered using that dozer blade for something similar but now seeing how amazing it looks there's no more considering about it. And your Bootzerkers are frackin awesome as well I think it's actually somewhat fitting for raving lunatic mad men who've been fighting almost non-stop for somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 years to potentially have had to acquire replacement footwear. And the armour detail and the proportions are far more aesthetically pleasing imo than the old berzerker kit hands down overall awesome work as usual brother can't wait to see more.

[The Traitor]

The rockgrinder dozer blade looks surprisingly good! Great conversion idea, certainly you won't have any more problems with difficult terrain now :P!

[hushrong]

Man, I was wondering how that rockgrinder would look on a rhino. Love it!

 

Definitely looking forward to seeing Khârn, some more hard killers, and that sweet spartan all together. Also, why the older Khârn mini and not the newer one? Just curious.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks, everyone!

I've been a bit busy with painting the Rhino, which is almost done. Also, I thought I'd make a new base for Captain Eight Legs, also known as Einherjar the Eternal, which I repainted in my new KDK colour scheme this ETL. He used to be on a squarish base that matched my Night Lords, but that base proved cumbersome during gaming, plus it doesn't match my KDK - which, let's be fair, is a way better match for the enormous Daemon Engine.

 

Here's the new, oval base. It's constructed from 5mm MDF board, and the outline was done using an two Imperial Knight bases next to each other.

And here's a picture with C8L on his new base:

As you'll notice, btw, the legs of C8L prevent the addition of the standard Lord of Skulls dozer blade. Guess what will be the prime ingredient for the dozer blade of the third Rhino?? :D

Hope you like! Thanks for looking and your comments :)

@ SanguiniusReborn: OF COURSE! It's a total gore fest, so it should be reflected on the model, don't you think?

 

@ Aasfresser: You're most welcome, buddy! :p

 

@ Brother Pheidias: thanks buddy! Haven't seen you around these parts for much. Welcome! I appreciate your contribution!

 

@ DuskRaider: Thanks very much, buddy! Mind you, the construct to attach the blade to the rhino is a bit of a hassle, but it's definitely doable.

 

@ ShVagYer: Yay! Thanks for telling me, and glad you like it so much.

 

@ Teetengee: Teara!

 

@ Pyroclast91:Haha 'bootzerkers'. That's one I'll remember. Wait till you see the next Rhino. :)

 

@ The Traitor: Unless I'll roll a double one again, which so far has happened to me at least once in every game I play. 

 

@ hushrong: Glad you like it! I jsut ordered the old Khârn because I think he looks better overall, and want a spare one of that miniature for fear of it going out of stock. I admit now tjhat I've incoprorated the AoS aesthetic into my Khorne Daemonkin army with the Blood Warriors, I've also warmed a little more to the new Khârn. 

[Biohazard]

That Rockgrinder dozer looks perfect on the Rhino. I have one of the Lord of skulls dozers I was planning on using on a Landraider. Curious to see how it looks on a rhino though. I like the mod you've done to the top of the blade. :tu:

[Augustus b'Raass]

@ Biohazard: really? On a Land Raider - I have to see that. Heading over to your thread right now to see :) 

[Pyroclast91]

SO SO SO SO MUCH WIN!!!!! Augustus C8L might be the best thing I've ever seen done with a defiler. You've done a fantastic job with the paint on him too and the rest of your KDK this army is gonna look fantastic while it's wrecking face. Every time I check out your thread I feel that itch to build traitors that's how that random NL moritat I built happened :) Keep up the awesome work man!!! Any chance of an updated army shot?

[Augustus b'Raass]

That's great to hear, Pyroclast91!

The second Rhino is finished! Hurray!

And the beast with his ten little buddies, also known as the second squad of ten Khornate Marines I painted last week. :)

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/temporary_zpsrml4b1tm.jpg

 

Now, I'm in the process of painting the last five Khorna Marines that are in my 1250 list. I'll probably finsih those tomorrow. I'll then go and buy a third Rhino later tomorrow, and try to fix the Lord of Skulls dozer to that one! :)

Cheers, and thanks for looking.

[SkimaskMohawk]

My friend, I really think you need more blood on the dozer blade(s). Blood for the blood god was practically made for such a task! :P

 

Also, no soot on the smoke stacks? Might lokk a bit out of place next to the last one.

 

Other than that, your KDK are really really really tempting me to start my own!

[Doctor Perils]

Feth, that was fast, and feth that's beautiful!

[Mechanist]

Together that unit looks ace and the dozer blade is an excellent addition. Can't wait to see all 30 alongside their rhinos. When I get round to sorting out my berzerkers I might have to finish the land raider I've had for nearly 20 years and do something with my heavily converted original rhino models as they seem so diddy nowadays. 

[Aasfresser]

That Rhino looks so awesome. And you are so damn fast. Great job!

[Teetengee]

How big is the los dozer? I'm afraid it will look comically huge on a rhino.

[hushrong]

Looks superb! Makes me think of that rock crusher from the original Total Recall movie but more Khornate.

 

*EDIT* The more I come back in here to look at your latest rhino the more I am in love with it. I wish I was doing a big Iron Warriors army with a lot of rhinos. Each one of them would come equipped with the rockgrinder. I can just hear an Iron Warrior sticking out of the cupola of such an equipped rhino  talking over the vox network:

"My Lord, you need trenches? Yeah, I got this.."

[ElDuderino]

That's it, I'm going through this thread start to finish again

[The Traitor]

Yup it totally ROCKS!!    Really great idea, I might copy that in the future for a dozer blade, it is so badass and defenitelly appropriate for a Khorne army! Also looking forward to see how the Lord of Skulls one turns out, you're going to have some cool rhinos in your army.

[JeffTibbetts]

Wow, man. The mix of that dozer with Subtle's trim kit makes for a very unique tank. Far from a humble rhino at this point. Great work! 

[Mirbeau]

This plog rules, love the escalating insanity with each subsequent dozer blade. And that spartan is brilliant
