Wrecked Rhino


Heimdal

Recommended Posts

Bought some models from another person a time ago, including this Rhino. My first thought was to strip it and turn it into a Vindicator but after a small mishap where I left the models in the brake fluid for too long that wasnt an option anymore. They became way too brittle.

 

So I decided to make the best out of it.

I made a wrecked Rhino.

 

Very straightforward work, it was already assembled so I just cut it to the proper dimensions and so on.

 

 

I play Space Wolves so the choice of colour to paint a wrecked Rhino is very obvious. Dark Angels :)

Looks like a good start. However, there are no clues as to why the rhino is leaning that way. Maybe the left side got blown off, or something of the sort, but the point is that I think it needs to be much more heavily damaged.

Why you have yet to see the finished project. So far it looks like an APC that has been bailed out in a hurry. Why? The drivers are dead and the crew stuck in no man's land (fire Magnet) an engine fire do to a strike a mine blew the left track and roads wheels of.

 

With the proper paint and weathering this should look great.

 

Good Luck

Really? I would have thought the obvious choice was Thousand Sons! How often do Dark Angels and Space Wolves actually meet on the fields of battle as enemies? I'm going to go with NEVER.

 

Back on topic, I agree with most of the other posters: this thing needs more damage! Use a lighter on one side and melt the sucker straight through! Meltaguns are a real pain for APCs, you know.

Dark Angels never make it to the battlefields at all because their Rhinos keep blowing up. Heimdal is just pointing out a little-known fact.

The thought with the Dark Angel paint scheme is that the Space Wolves has arrived to a battlefield that the DA had to abandon their vehicle due to that they couldnt take the heat :blink:

 

Which reminds me that I will add some more damage to it.

Thanks for the replies so far :D

Finished! In case someone wonders the name of the Rhino is "Belial" :D

 

I`ll let the pictures talk for themselves ;)

Looks very nice, but I don't get it... it looks perfectly good to me :unsure:

Anyway, you should add a few marine corpses here and there.. maybe one outside and one on the inside?

Also, it doesn't look very wrecked, except for from one side, it just looks like it got stuck in the mud(rubble).

Add more damage, chuncks blown off, etc. A fun idea could be to add one big hole on each side, as if a lascannon or gauss cannon just went right through it.
