The problem arises that the Rhino kit doesn't have a dozer blade, which leaves you the choice of either buying a FW one, pilforing a guard one or making your own. I made my own because its a blank canvas to do something outrageous. Space marines are outrageous..right...?

This one a competition in my FLGS a few months ago, it really does take me that long to get my camera out. Comments and criticism welcome.

**The Ghoma**

Love the detail, but there seems to be way too much going on, i mean you have the radar, all the smoke launchers, the offset search light, the dozer blade, the open hatch, the banners and the gunner that wants to hit people with his sword instead of shooting. Try to keep it a little it more simple. Apart from that, you did a great job.

**Joostuh**

Damn that stupid, I absolutely love it!

**Element206**

I agree, this tank looks busy. The marine holding the sword is more reminiscent of someone mounted on a steed...I mean what does he need the powersword for anyway? I like the dozer blade...very creative and definately has the look of something the ultramarines would adorn their machines with. The only critique I have about it would be its size relative to the tank...it looks massive!

**son_of_marneus**

I see what you all mean about it being too busy. On the other hand, it was fun converting, although I never learned when to stop

. As for the guy on top, the 'mounted on a steed' image is what I had in my head, shouting 'Ultramarines, ho!' kind of thing. The sword is necessary to beat of hitch hikers

. The dozer blade is massive compared to the tank, it just turned out that way.

**Gavin Thorne**

It's definitely busy, but also has the Ultramarines Bling! thing going for it. Nice smooth paintjob and great freehand.

**Stephen Bond**

nice, encapsulates the roman-esque grandeur of the men from mcragge

**lord castellan creed**

The painting on this is very good, but as said before way too much going on. The dozer blade is unique, and would probably suit a ultramarines tank.
Thanks,
LCC,

**Curis**

This is great. It's full of detail and energy and vibrancy. I love it.

**origarmi chicken**

I like it

**tipios**

That is the ultimate dozer blade

good stuff.

Can you make some full size ones for when it snows again in the UK.

**Viktor von Domm**

well that dozerblade screams one thing for me:
make a tutorial pleeeease...

i say: tremendous work, love the paintjob and since i made also a screaming and charging sergant for my predator waving a sword i know exactly why he has to use a sword instead of the bolter!

more of it^^

**son_of_marneus**

Cheers for all the comments guys, greatly appreciated. Next Rhino will hopefully be less busy.
@tipios: lol, a Fiesta scale dozer blade, sounds like an interesting project. Now all I need is some scrap metal and a servo-harness.
@von Domm: I will eventually do a tutorial, but I'm at uni atm and my plasticard isn't. Sorry.

**romeo.lima**

Holy fething frak, that is amazing.

I will agree with others on the issue of too much going on, but in this case I personally think that it just adds to the ridiculous grandeur you were obviously going for (or if you weren't, it still looks nice). Nice.

**WillyBRags**

best dozer blade ever....kinda like a cow catcher on a train or a snow plow blade, it's very cool,,,,,would love to see the process involved in making it so I could....borrow it

yeeeeehhhhaaaaa

**SpaceMarineCollecter**

OMG I'm gonna put that on my wall.
OT: Great conversions mate!

**Forgotmytea**

I love that dozer blade. Consider me to have joined the throng of people waiting for a tutorial

Thought the EXACT same thing.

Yes the model is a tad busy but if the roof hatches close I have a feeling it'll open up the model a bit. Still love it none the less, looks awesome.

**Frazzled**

I am not a fanof the dozer blade. I like the pattern and the paint, but its substantially too wide for my taste. it needs to be about half the width. Additionally the physical size makes pplayability more of a problem (physically moving and transporting the mini).

**daedalus**

I agree with Frazz. I appreciate the SM = grandiose thing, but the dozer blade is a bit too much. Maybe if it were a little less wide.

Oh well, to each his own.

**Myrthe**

What a great conversion !!

While I love the look of the dozer blade, I can't suspend my grasp on physics to believe that central eagle figure-head wouldn't crumple at the first impact (or be forced back into the rhino) ... assuming it's dozing into buildings and not meaty heretics and aliens. If the latter, fire up those engines and doze away !!!

Really nice work !!

**Kr'aag**

If it is a power sword, I wonder if he could Jedi-Light-Saber-Block a lascannon bolt like Luke Skywalker does with blaster shots. . .

**Ailaros**

not NEARLY rediculous enough

Seriously, I do feel bad for the rhino's engine. That thing dangling off the front has to weigh as much as the entire rest of the rhino (passengers included). I can't imagine what would happen to the transmission if it actually tried to plow through something.

"Road block ahead! Upshift to 8th!"

Oh, and can we get a picture of the rhino from further away? A side shot or something with the entire model put together (including the RTM) would be nice.

**cl4nj4def4lcon**

Oh...

My...

God...

**COMMANDER SUNTZU**

Love the tank pic :L also its a very original rhino not seen anything quite like it before, well done for that

**shingouki**

i think the whole tank rocks,imagine this hurtling at renegade guardsman,dozering them to death.
conversions are all about what you like to do with the models in question if you like it awesome,if others dont its no biggy.
stay frosty and for god sake keep converting.
thanks

**son_of_marneus**

@Ouze: I love that image! That's exactly what's going on.
@Frazz & daedalus: size in games is an issue, luckily I'm not a tournament goer and no one in my flgs is going to care.
@Myrthe & Ailaros: this is 40k, physics and reality have nothing to do with

It's made of a new material, invincibilium.
Here's some side and top views to get a better look at it (with the hatch closed). I've included a guardsman/scout for copmarison/ramming purposes. I'm going home this weekend where I will pick up supplies and start a tutorial shortly afterwards, so keep an eye on this thread.

Or better yet, can we get a picture of it plowing through a bunch of fleeing victims?
