This is the Rhino for my Sternguard. It's meant to have a very venerated and decorated feel to it, having been in service of a veteran squad for a long time.

And my Predator, in my two games I have played thus far, despite being shot at remorselessly it has never been destroyed or even stunned, thus I will name it 'Immortal'




Back

Thoughts?

Are the wings on the Predator too much? I added them to keep a sense of consistancy next to the land raider but they're not glued so I can easily remove them.

They look good, I don't think the wings look over the top.

'Immortal' as a name for a tank is just tempting fate!!

But I like the details you've put on, very nice. They'll look great!

[edit] but as a tip, it'd look more 'realistic' with some bullet holes and scratches on it. I know its only a game, and you can go for the clean look if you want, but all my guard tanks look like they've actually been in a war, instead of being fresh and new! keep up the good work.

I like the wings but you need to drill out the heavy bolter barrels.

ive been keeping a close eye on this blog since it started, and it's given me soo many ideas for my own blood ravens Vth company, im currently working on my truescale commander and I cant wait to see yours finished

I like the predator with the wings, the only thing that I can think of is that it will be a pain in the butt to transport.

That rhino looks Ace!

Glory be to the Emperor, and those blessed souls who do his divine work in mortal form.

That is amazing... I'm gobsmacked! I think i'm going to start a new tournament army and try and paint it up tot this level, probably Tau or Eldar...

Wow, amazing work yet again with the Landspeeder. Your conversions on the pred and rhino are awesome stuff as well. Cant wait to see those painted (as well as your other conversions)

Very nice painting, I also like the Librarian, looks like we had the same Idea

Great work as ever Roleplayer.

Your consistency of quality is an inspiration. I'd love to see a photo of your whole army together, it must look great now.

awesssssssome blood ravens

That photo is everything except the rhino

Everything painted, anyway

I can't help but look at everything and think that banner on the tactical squad is totally out of place with this army! there needs to be some major freehand around the 1. Still its a wow factor.

I've been following this thread for a while but haven't really posted. I'd just like to say that I'm impressed by your painting skills, especially as red is quite a difficult colour to paint. This is shaping up to be a nice little army. I particularly like the landspeeder.

Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more.

Hey great job on the minis, but i really wanted to ask where you get ur paints? please answer

I already stated earlier in the thread the paints used for the red effects.

I only use citadel paints.

sorry man. I went and checked it out. Its funny how i used almost all ur paints and mine turned out way different.Then l i re-painted them with vallejo paints.

OMG!!! I love your paint talent. I think you should drill out the barrels of the firearms- inc. the HB's on your Razorback. Great job!

Roleplayer, I have one thing to say to you: You should never come near the Tennessee area of the United States, or I swear I will kiss you on the mouth for giving me such great models to stare at!

Its probably the constant layering that changes the 'look' of the red, I think.

Thanks for all the great comments, everyone

how much layers do you do on ur minis?

THEBLooDrAVEN wrote:how much layers do you do on ur minis?

2 coats of mech red, 2 coats of red gore, 2 full red ink washes, then 3 diferent layers of highlights of red, building to blood red.

Have you tried using the GW Baal Red Wash instead of an ink wash?

I am guessing RG = Red Gore, and BR = Blood Red

is BR brown and RG is...?
