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

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!) Automatically Appended Next Post: Automatically Appended Next Post: Automatically Appended Next Post: 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?

@dantay - too true
@ MT - It's a Torquemada missile launcher from bitsbox.eu, which inexplicably is now the Tornado missile launcher from bitspludo.com
http://bitspudlo.com/products/tornado-missile-battery
It's pretty cool but mine is badly cast and will take a lot of gs'ing (not sure I'm up to that

 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.

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.

Gold highlighted. All the rest of fleurs redone in gold. Curse you monkeytroll!

Had to strip the simulacrum bearers, primer flaking off

"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.
