I really dislike the new Dino Riders aesthetic for Chaos Space Marines, and figured that the Zombie Dragon / Terrorgheist kit would fit perfectly the Zombie aesthetic of my World Eaters army. Let me know what you think.

Yeah, that's ridiculously awesome and it would be a pleasure to see it on any gaming table.

My only (very minor) gripe is that the feet may look a bit better if they were re-posed, as at the moment it sort of looks like it is standing on air.

9.999/10 though, it's beautiful.

I like that effect, very cool.

I was going to mention the feet as well. I would repose the claws facing down and the leg slante forward (as being pushed back) a little. To give the idea of force being used to spew flame all over the rhino.

That is pretty awesome and I would agree about the Heldrake.

Man that looks huge. Have fun transporting that monster.

Looks awesome!

The splashing fire all over the Rhino looks great! What did you use to make that effect?

That's a pretty neat idea, and would be a cool way to get rid of a flight base

would be cool to do that against a bunch of marines though

Thanks! The fire effect is green stuff and brass rod (for the jet of flame) and bathroom caulk for the fire elsewhere. Basically you just squeeze it onto the model, then dip your (gloved) finger into it and pull away. It'll leave streaky stuff like that. You can also push it down, then squeeze the tube while lifting to make the flames. It's pretty easy...just practice on some paper first or something.

Awesome work!

Very very cool, the fire effect is very nice indeed. Time to go find a dark angels player to vs!

Very cool idea! That kit would work great for a Deathguard army too!

Very clever and unique take on the unit, and what a killer display base for it, the fire effect looks just plain awesome, like chaos napalm rain!

Very Well done, I really feel that is very well put together and painted!

Awesome!

The idea is really cool and I thought about doing it too, but the Rhino looks like it's not hurt at all from the fire, and the Rhino doesn't seem all too well painted, but it's probably just me.

As a fan of the hobby, the amount of awesome-sauce in that model just brought a tear to my eye . It is a great job, indeed. As a DA player, I say "Well, looks like we lost another rhino.".

awesome work.
youd think after many battles and eons of battle that poor rhino would figure out to drive OUT of the fire...
poor rhino...

Cool man! Love the fire blast! Me and a friend converted one of those up for his nurgle army as he's not a fan of the dino bots either! But we did graft weapons growing out of it as thats the way we did all the converted fleshy blobs!
I agree that the rhino needs more paint work to make the green let flat. Something strange is going on with the headlights too lol. 9 out of 10 tho!

Deadly meringue of chaos!

Looks good - an excellent substitute to the dinobot.

Yeah the headlights are totally messed up...I was gifted this Rhino by a young player from my FLGS. It was a complete POS that served as my test dummy for magnetizing testing - drill depth testing, drill width testing...basically it was a POS that was horribly painted and assembled, and had a bunch of holes in it. It definitely wasn't going to serve in any of my armies, but it serves just fine as a volunteer for Heldrake target practice.

I guess I could add some Dark Angels transfers to it or something...maybe some weathering powder. All I did to it was 2 layers of line highlights and paint the tracks.

Right on! Seem's moderately easy enough, good call with practicing on something other than a model lol could turn out to be a disaster.

Your Hellgheist is a great use of a fantasy model in a 40k setting! Keep it up!

Love it. Kind of. Well... lets just say I would prefer the Rhino to be running over the "Heldrake". Any chance of you putting some extra DA details on the Rhino, or decals?

I guess I could lay some transfers on it...ideally though they'd be on parts of the Rhino not covered by the lighting effect otherwise it might look weird. Do you have any suggestions?

Wow that looks amazing! great job!

10/10! Awesome, although should have been an ultramarine rhino.

I would put a DA decal on the right side, front panel. It is untouched by the fire effect and is currently flat green. Just a suggestion, it looks awesome as it is!

wow that looks amazing!

The only thing I dont like is your targeting my beloved dark angels! Very nice man. Good job.

Nice work but, I would of went with a clear tube for the stand. It takes away from the great work you did with the fire.
