Love the sarge, Weety - really clean paintjob, especially on the sword!

now i have an image of a flying dwarf over the disc of the moon in my head... like E.T...

and to tell you a small story of my time doing service in the army... we were at the decontamination company... wearing full protection garment... one of our mates , who constantly couldn´t be kept from farting pulled his gasmask off his face while still being under full protection... he was literally in his own private sauna...so he breathed his full aroma in...well to cut a long story short... he went grey then green and we thought about cutting him out of his gear...it was just that we all lay on the ground while he choked due to his own odors....lol...imagine that now with that mentioned beaky...ot to put it in another way:

LMAO

well you kow the saying... you had to be there... well the guy certainly wished for not to be there^^

They give Space Marines all those extra organs, does the retrofit include a muffler?

reading all that strange fluff of how they are able to eat sand and other usually unedible stuff and still keep on going i would think they rebreath rather than exhaust any winds...yuk....

It's just like eating at Taco Bell then

well being a german then has it´s advantages afer all as we have no taco bell shops...(i don´t know if restaurant would be the right vocab choice here...)

Well, it tastes really good when you eat it, but then you suffer.

all comes with a pricetag^^

Lol, so busy laughing I almost woke the wife.

I imagine that as the squats are so short they have a bunkbed type seating system so 2 layers of seats with a handy ladder or pole to slide down.

There is no way in hell that Squats would drive around in a Rhino when a Chimera has a higher side armor value. Of course, the Rhino is an Ancient STC design built by the 31st Millenium equivalent to Mercedes Benz too, maybe it is better engineered.

NOTE: This picture was from back before Chimeras existed, and you could mount meltas on your Rhinos, and EVERYONE rode around in Rhinos.

Everyone.

ya Fluff says the Rhino was maybe originally civilian in origin or something? STC factory you could drop on a settlement planet and dump whatever local material into and out pops a piping hot Rhino when the bell dings?

I like that image - just like a hot pie - and when you cut it open you never know what the filling might be - except by the smell...

On of these days I have to get (or make) an old RT rhino or razorback. And I can paint it whatever colours I choose cos briancj is right - everyone has a rhino in the RT universe (except the eldar, who wouldn't be seen dead in something so boxy).

Maybe I can make a genestealer cult rhino? mmmmmm

Reading monkeytrolls blog this morning made m want to bulid a vehicle with the gubinz he sent me. So this is the basic structure of my idea. It will have a lot more armour plating, probably some searchlights and some mesh over the front windscreen. Were can you get very fine mesh cheap?

I use Aluminum (or Aluminium if you like extra vowels) Wire mesh sold as screen for paper mache building. Brand name here is Activia, it also comes in brass or steel I believe.

Oh and I have one of those old Rhinos in pieces that I don't want. It came with some old SM bikes in a lot (which I do want for tough hiver biker rough riders)

I spent a good half hour roaming the hardware store and all their mesh was too big - but then looked in my kitchen and found a cheap mini-sieve! I will look out for the paper mache stuff though, for next time.

What would you take for a scrap rhino?

I'd trade it even up for some cool stuff I can't get in the US. Or old Necromunda minis (I need Goliaths, Orlocks, and Escher)

I'll take a picture of it tonight, it's pretty rough though, you may not want it.

Nice Vehicle weets , not really sci fi enough for my personal 40k taste , but sits well with the gangers.

That looks like it will be sweet! Can't wait to see it armored up!

I've made a few changes, few spikes, more to do I think - I'm considering adding a twin autocannon, Libyan style.

I like the sound of that dsteinglass and I do have some necromunda going spare I think. But lets see the photo and see if its salvagable

I told you it was rough. Exhausts, top hatch, and one headlight are missing. Looks like it would require some serious plastic surgery to serve the Emperor again.

FW are doing heresy rhinos and Land Raiders

Wow, that's actually in much better shape than mine! Although, I sawed mine in half...

Oh, and Weety, truck is looking good! I'd definately go with the twin auto cannons!

RSJake - everything gets cut in half eventually - monkeytroll is currently on the case and will have cut everything in half by 2025 - and stuck it back together in a different way!

Unfortunatly miss dee I'm hampered by a basic lack of funds -
I was hoping to pay off my overdraft before civilization collapses just in case the banks mutate into fascist totalitarian overlords and introduce debt slavery.

Dstienglass - I'm afraid it might not be serving the Emperor... depends how I'm feeling at the time.

I think it is fixable with some plasticard and some putty. I will go at it from the stand point that it is a damaged rhino thats been co-opted by the cult or whatever, rather than try and make it look new.

Here is what I have going spare in the necromunda box - I have an arm for the goliath ganger and you get a choice between autogun or grenade launcher. Trade?

Throw in the autogun and that sounds like a deal to me! PM is inbound. (shakes your hand and smiles)

2025? I'm going to have to speed things up to hit that deadline. Where's my red cutters?


Nice to see some vehicles coming into play, and to see you converting/scratch-building

The mesh I used for the back panel was aluminium auto-repair mesh, should be available at Halfords or the like.

Cheers monkey - your truck bitz are getting some good use at last. I took my time - multiple projects keep popping up so I never know what I will finish next.

Here is the last update before I get comfy. Its too cold in here to model into the night. I need duvet.

The front could do with a spiked bumper maybs, and I have no suitable gun for the roof yet. - maybe a little more armour plate on the doors. a ladder on the rear would look good as its very high and they would need one to get in. Lots and lots of rivets are also needed. Then a rusty paintjob

Hey, I'm never going to be one to rush anyone else And I understand completely about new projects.

Also understand duvet need, I can barely feel my fingers as I type. Luckily the workroom is the room that has the heater in, so that's generally the warmest place to be Other than under the duvet.

Like the progress so far, looks very suitable for your gangers. Nice railings.

How spiky a bumper are you looking at?





Like the idea of a rusty old ladder hanging off the back.

What are using for rivets?

wow this is quite cool looking.... the sieve is an excelent choice! also i love thr broken window...any chance you will keep it in the painted version?
the fender looks awsome and i love the bullet holes done by GS^^

the spikes are my only nitpick here as i think they are a tad oot...^^
