Some long-time readers of this blog might remember that a few years ago I got hold of a bunch of abused Rhinos. One of them was ripped apart and changed into something completely different.
That poor tank has finally gotten the attention it deserved. Roll out, Scorpius '44!
I really like the silhouette of this brutalistic piece of work, though it is still sadly lacking the crewmen. Put a few marines toting lascannons and a mug of joe in there and it's a Plagueburst Crawler just as well
The paintjob is a sloppy one-day work, a literal toil of sweat and tears as I also attended a remote funeral of an old friend while preparing for the next day's game. Crying doesn't really help painting details, but hey.
As for that game, the '44 actually survived its first outing! While new model syndrome tends to strike anyway, in this particular case it was even more remarkable since it was a big 3000 point narrative game of urban defence where I was up against a constantly reinforced flood of enemies With a combined force of Iron Warriors and (Blue)Blood Angels crashing against OUR turf, the Echoes rose to the occasion and held out doggedly. Exploding tanks, maimed corpses and falling debris filled the streets, but by the blood-red sunset, the proud banner of skull and black sunburst still flew defiantly over the ruins.

Global problems pushed the intended Unification Wars campaign off earlier in the year, but it's looking better on that front again. So, in preparation for June's high octane rad-waste showdown, my objectives for May:
- paint the redneck cannibal crew
- build a Thunder Legion crew
- prepare a good amount of terrain for KT
Nachmund terrain is catching my eye, might have to get me some utility box buildings.

Such a beautiful battle. Fantastic minis and terrain. I like how the normal troopers make the marines look much more epic.

Glorious battle shots and sounds like a fun game. But has no one ever told the commander that you don't come with a scion to a power armor battle...

Really flavorful conversions. The iron golem + techno bits does techno-barbarian really well.

Nothing too fancy for these test bits:
- Primed with rattle cans. Solid chocolate brown, followed by zenithal beige and pale yellow. Not necessarily the most effective combo, felt a bit like grey with extra steps, but that happens every now and then.
- Drybrushed two or three times with light beige and bone. Keeping the brushstrokes downward helps with the rundown look.
- Base colours for details like wires and electrical boxes down before an indiscriminate brown washing. Metal bits are Hashut Copper and Nihilac Oxide, just to test and use up the random pots I got from one jobslot. Brown, likewise, was just some Army Painter crap that's so bad I don't want to use it on normal models.
- Lots of edge highlighting with Vallejo's Ghost Grey, my favoured not-quite-white.
- Watery pigments, mostly oxidized earth, over the walls.
Overall, some gradients in whatever beige-ish over brown drybrushed lighter and washed brownish again

Thanks youwashock and Boringstuff, being atmospheric is half the effort in this endeavour
Looking to get a piece or two more done tomorrow, which brings the current total up to one pretty full Kill Team board's worth. The second half will then be more in line with inside spaces, like ZM.

Cheers Guardling and Viterbi. Gaming on this stuff has indeed been pretty great, and will only get better with more scatter terrain and ZM compatible bulkheads later on.
Talking about ZM, I might have gone and bought some stuff for Heresy 2.0 that may make an entrance towards the end of the year... we'll see how the autumn shapes up after the July rush at work clears
Edit:
Also, 100k views reached! Heartfelt thanks for everyone who has spent their limited time on this Earth looking at my dabblings. For that reason, I'll let you guys pick the first priority on the Heresy train:
Should my next work be a:
1. Spartan! Transports are cool!
2. Contemptor! More dreads is always great!
3. Infantry support with guns! Death Guard needs plenty of relentless firepower.
4. Infantry squad with fisticuffs! With access to rad grenades, Destroyers and what not for dirty tricks, we're ready to punch as well.
All comments taken to account over the next week and a bit
