My Dark Angels armoury. They have all been posted in my DA thread but I wanted to share them here as well.

This was the first vehicle I painted.

I didn’t paint another vehicle until the last month or so when I finished my Razorback

I really enjoyed painting the Razorback so I decided to add A predator

I was happy with the Razorback but I didn’t feel the warpstone glow showed up enough on the table top so I did a 2to1 mix with moot green i the predator as a middle highlight.

A couple of years ago, we had a campaign going and one of the factions involved was a Renegades force. So I put together some oddball equipment as fit the story line. Then I sold them.

But they were fun to put together, paint, and play with while it lasted. The paint schemes were based on examples from the Siege of Vraks books.

Will you add spikes and trophies (severed heads, mutilated corpses, etc.)?

 

 

Alas, the new owner will have to decide that. :)

 

In general, I'm not a big fan of the spikes thing, it just seems very impractical, though I can definitely see bodies and whatnot as decorations. 

 

However, that's not really my jam, which is why I unloaded them. It was a fun modeling exercise though.

 

After all, I'm more of a "leaves piles of burned bones from witches in my wake" kind of guy. :)

Impressive work on the Command Rhino, captain_magpie. Are those antenna towers removed when the Rhino needs to be transported between an orbiting starship and a planetary surface, or do the Techmarines retract them towers into the crew compartment (meaning the rooftop hatch is just for show, and there's no space to sit beside the Driver), or fold the towers flat against the hull?

It was my intention to have them similar to a periscope system on a sub, so that they retract into the Rhino beside the driver. I did not actually measure them out and went on plus/minus when setting them up, so yeah, likely not "exact" but I am ok with it.

 

Oh, and the reason I gave it a hatch was to give it a feeling of molecularity, where the antenna area could be removed and replaced with a self-defense system. Based on need of course.

I'm stealing that twin AC idea for something. I don't know what just yet, but that's a steal. And the rest of the tank, I'm stealing that too.

 

You got anything else you're just going to leave laying out?
