That rhino is coming along nicely.

Thanks after adding some more rivits and tracks, it will be time to add all the prayer scrolls and such.

Finished one side with the tracks, going slow got my Leviathan

I really like the strong contrast between the red and yellow on those marines, and that chaplain is is pretty cool- the Buddhist theme is evident, but it's not overwhelming.

Thanks on the comment, the rhino is kinda on hold, because i am working on the Leviathan Crusader

Wow, These are really awesome, what's written on the Guy's cloak?

It's "Om Mani Padme Hum", is probably the most widely known Buddhist prayer

My scratch built Rhino tank is nearing the painting phase!
still need to add some Gubins and some putty filler here and there

Wow.
I like the scratch built rhino dude. I do a lot of scratch building and some of my freinds have pointed out that if i invested the amount of extra time that i spent on a scratch build actually working, i could have easily afforded to buy the model. For me it comes to the fact that i enjoy the challenge and the fact that my final product ensured a limited profit for GW and a fun art project for myself. Same reason for yoU?

I agree with you, i bought a lot of stuff to built this little tank, it is the first true Scratch built i tried, mostly i just turn model kits into 40k things, it is also a learning process to try someting new.
And this army started as a gimmick, i don't want to buy to much for it.

Here the tank with some priming done that gesso was thick stuff!

And with some main colors

Also i started to make a Medic, used a terminator arm and a leftover head from the chapter master sprue.

Here is my progress on scratch-built rhino and medic

That's awesome. You should custom build me a rhino

Well found a buddha figure in Osaka and painted it gold.

Man these are awesome, but how will they fight if they're nonviolent?

Like in those buddhist shaolin kung fu movies, the first hour they try the non violent approach and get slapped around, then they reluctantly use violence and kick every once @$$es

I like it. Your paint scheme is nice and your technique will improve. Great work on the rhino.

If a cross leg conversion could be worked out well it would be awesome to see a marine cross legged in mediation floating over the base and call it a Librarian.

I like the idea, sculpting a cross legged in a robe, is maybe doable.

Did some pre-work on it

Well my Meditating Librarian only needs a paint-job

Heh, that looks pretty cool!

Thanks! (Dank U wel, dat was snel)

Love it.

Well my Meditating Librarian is almosy finished.

The Meditating librarian is so cool

Hommnnnn! and it was easy to make!

I love how the floating librarian turned out. Great stuff.

In the Sengoku era there were Buddhist warrior monks who were very, very violent.

Damn i caved in, i bought the tactical marine box and vanguard? space marine box (the shooty veterans)
Used Bolt pistol and chainsword on my next Buddhist marines.

I had come up with the idea of the second being black and orange and had dubbed them the Storm Vipers. They were from a rainforest deathworld and based largely on Mayan/Aztec culture and looks. They specialized in chem/bio warfare and preferred preemptive strikes and wiped themselves and the 11th out in one big bloody misunderstanding (similar to the Thousand Sons) when the 11th was sent to bring them in for questioning on their tactics but they attacked with their preferred preemptive style believing their brothers had betrayed them.

TheArchitect, Uhm OK?
Nice going M. love those old trenchers.

The progress on some Budhist Marines i am working on
