Hey Guys,

This was about a 3 week project from start to finish. 4 Rhino bodies with 2 Whirlwind heads as well. I hope you like, please comment here or on youtube, thanks,

Cat

Those are absolutely stunning. Literally can't put it into words. They are of an outstanding quality and the magnetization is brilliant Love all the FW Crimson Fist stuff and the customized gunner!

**Killamop**

I literally just :O everyone around me is asking what I just saw to make me do that.
True beauty.

**dalsiandon**

Good looking stuff. Thanks for sharing. I like the commander, I think the extra work on him paid off.

**General_Chaos**

nice work!

**bok_choy17**

The Emperor would be proud *salutes*

**lipsdapips**

I love the gunners.

Just a side question -
Would someone deny that you had a storm bolter on your rhino if you built the bolter on the top but didn't have someone shooting it? (I mean could you say that it's like, an auto-aim or something? - because the Rhinos I built have no gunners but have storm bolters, but i'll put gunners on in future.)

Thanks in advance,
LDP

**Porcupine el Josh**

Wow.

Those rhinos you have are amazing!

**Smitty0305**

No, that's allowed. If you take a Pintle-Mounted Storm Bolter upgrade from the Codex, all you have to do is stick one onto your vehicle to make it count. It's all about What You See Is What You Get. Many of my tanks have their Stubbers totally unmanned and just left on their pintle, no-one's ever taken issue. After all, the gunner might have just popped back down into the vehicle for whatever reason.

Looks awesome. Care to share how you made the dirt on the tracks?

**Catattafish**

Yup, look under the tutorials section of Dakka, I just posted the vid!

**Darkvoidof40k**

Oh Catfish, you never fail to utterly astound me.

**Catattafish**

Thanks so much Darkvoid for your very kind words, and thank you all for your comments and feedback!

Cheers mate, and keep up the good work. Already watched some of your tuts, and they are really nice.

Definately gonna employ some of them into my Blood Angels project.

**Uhlan**

Despite the fact that I nearly blew out my ear drum with that music box plinking ya got going there I found your work absolutely awesome and inspiring.

Keep up the great work!

**Catattafish**

Lols, sorry for yer eardrum

Thanks mate!

**Nalyd**

Amazing work and great attention to detail.

**Gavin Thorne**

Very nice work, my man, very nice. Father Dorn would be proud!

I just finished assembling 2 of my OOP Rhinos for my own army, magnetizing stormbolters to the hatches. The original kit was equipped with two bolters, one on each hatch, so adding the SB's brings them up to date.

I like the way you magnetized the HK Missile, very effective! Do you plan on playing them with the missiles? I almost added them to mine, but decided against it since I'm not likely to take the upgrade.

**MaximusPrime**

You're a man with infinate patience!!

**big baby jesus**

Wow - nice!

**Theofilos**

Really nice!

**Catattafish**

Thanks Guys for your very kind comments.

I am not sure if I am going to use the Hunter killers or not. They are expensive for one shot (10pts) but thats also a pretty cheap 10 pts if you take out something armour 10 or 11.

No matter what I wanted something on that hatch so I knew I was going to use the radar, and I didn't glue them in so that I could use the HK's if I needed them.

**Gavin Thorne**

Sounds good Cat. The HK's also count for a Weapon Destroyed result, even after they've been fired, so there's another bonus.

On a related note, I'm loving the weathering tute you posted for these, very simple, easy to duplicate, and effective! I was thinking of adding dry pigment on top of the sand/paint/glue mixture to complete the effect. What do you think?

**Necroagogo**

Lovely work sir! Quite often I find that the dark blues and reds of the Fists' paint scheme looks overly dark and murky. You've avoided that problem quite nicely.

Great freehanding and weathering, too.

**RutgerMan**

Those rhino's just astounded me so much, I never think I have never been astounded like that in all my life!

Nice work truly! do you play with them now?

**Catattafish**

I haven't yet, but next match they are in! Thanks guys for the great comments,

Cat/
