Don't know if this one is better suited to a repressor (all my rhino be modular)?

Hey ho. Thank you all for massive support, troops, recently.

Ah, gotcha, jumped in too fast... go with the first one. You could put some chain and if you have some pulley wheels cut in half, to wrap the chain around you could manufacture a new door opening system.... Lower the drawbridge!!!

The second onr doesnt feel right and would probably be more suited to a chimera.. I could maybe give you a hatch for it

i liked the former one too...that one has nice deatils but looks still wrong to me...

and the avenger will looks super, black lining is still an art that is inside a closed book...

Yeah, I vote for the first one, second looks just a little too clunky.

No worries about the avenger, there's always several phases that look dodgy whilst painting...at least, that's my experience

Thanks for input all. So, a side by side pip: left wing as was, right wing with first layered grey (vj neutral grey)

I have like 50 shades of vj grey

And WIPs of exorcist (excuse impending auto append!)

I'm actually planning on keeping this one relatively (or perhaps deceptively) unadorned. The whole top hatch will be modular for this one, if I can get it to work. I plan on turning a metal exorcist front into a beast of an immolator topper

Orks are primed good and proper, btw. Nearly there!

Killer robot evades Me. I happen to have exactly the price of a tiffany necklace in the old PayPal. 2 Killer robots? Or happy wife?

Happy wife = either bonus brownie points for when you mess up or 2 death robots as a reward for being a good graven

Well nothing much trumps killer robots - except perhaps happy spouses

Exorcist coming together - what missile pods are you using? I'm sure you've shown us before, but I forget.

@dantay - too true

@ MT - It's a Torquemada missile launcher from bitsbox.eu, which inexplicably is now the Tornado missile launcher from bitspludo.com

It's pretty cool but mine is badly cast and will take a lot of gs'ing (not sure I'm up to that

That is 1 nice missile battery, a shame yours is mis-cast, cant they send you a replacement?

How bad is it?

So are you using the 2 launcher sections on a different mount? It doesnt look the same as bitspudlo's targetting array

Pretty shoddy, but came as part of a trade for bits. never mind, I'm no stranger to gs! The base in that pic isn't the vehicle mount, which I used as the SoB topper for my Ordo Malleus affiliated death cult.

Your faith in me is very kind

Several layers of paint upon the beast. Basically, the greys (or should I say grays?) are now done:

Most front lights will be sodium orange, btw.


And with canopy:

Does it need to have the joining piece over it?


Undercarriage

Worried that the icons look wrong white, and should be grey also.


And inside cockpit

Not sure whether/how much osl to go with here.


And a side view.

I'm still really unhappy about the joins of the plastruct plates. They may get strips of plasticard and rapid paint.


C&C, gang!

BTW - went into local GW. Looked at knight kit.


That is all.

Keep the icons a markedly different color. White is fine. Gold would work too.

Gold would work, I think they are a bit plain white at the mo, maybe shading them a bit.

Yeah, bring the bling to the fleurs Gold would be good.

Where exactly are you having issues with the joins? I see a very minor messy join under the COD eagle, but nothing that stands out as needing re-working.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

What I wouldnt do for a cake like that.... yummm drool.. Your wife has an exceptional talent with cakes, just as you do with building stuff, maybe you could combine your skills.

And we could have Warhammer 40K-akes?
