I wont bore you with the fluff details, but I was looking for some ideas as to how to make it look unique, the very broad and general backstory is that this tank dates back to around horus heresy, so very old, a bit of wear and tear but nothing too major, the main thing, is that the chapter has been separate from the imperium for 10,000 years, and since this tank is that old, is has constantly been worked on by the techmarines (or similar according to fluff) and so has gained a unique and ancient look, like a mix of artificer armour and venerable dreadnought, mainly looking for ideas on how to achieve that look,

the chapter colours are black, white, and regal blue, and silver]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245485/795223.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245485/795223.page GMT LandRaider modification ideas

Did you have any problems getting those to fit on there?

no they do not get right on i needed the parts from the blood angels baal predator 4x (sponson parts).
and it took a long peace of paperclip to get it connected to eachother i have pictures of the process.

i`ll open a tread to show everybody the WIP.

just an idea for an engine back from an old lr project (those were wip shots obviously). maybe make the smoke stacks look more like the preheresy forgeworld kit? also, maybe reinforce the side sponson areas so that they look like they wont be blown off by a stray plasma gun shot LOL.

The baneblade kit has a bunch of bits to make the landraider look older, and more combat efficient (gas barrels and the little viewing slits like cathedral windows)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245485/801133.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245485/801133.page GMT Re:LandRaider modification ideas
If you don't have the codex I found some pictures.



In each of those arches is a mural of Calgar doing some over powered story crap. It's only don't in black lines, but it would look better as coloured pictures instead.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245485/801150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245485/801150.page GMT Re:LandRaider modification ideas WIP pics, I found and just added then a couple of lego bits, from the knight's set or similar, makes it look rather cool if i do say so myself I'm almost definitely going to go at this tank with my stanley knife and a file, see what happens, maybe cut a few gouges, anyway, on to the pics, they are terrible quality but hopfeully they give you guys an ok idea of the stuff I'm making -



original WIP pic, this was before it was all constructed or had undercoat, around 7:30 PM



this is putting the treads on, I left the top inglued for obvious reasons, watching torchwood while putting it together, I nearly ran out of glue at this stage



the finished beast in all its glory, this was before anything on the outside, so it was pristine at that stage, oh except for the ramp



a close up of the ramp, E stands for Elliot, my cousin, and immortalis is both part of my chapter name and immortality in latin...a good name i think



my main painting work, its one of the side doors, and is not quite finished, the rest of the tank will have similar detail all over it albeit more spread out, so that it doesnt just look white, or checkered..the black of the tank is the predominant colour



annd the work i did today, the lego bits to be precise, i just glued them on, and oddly they look almost designed to go there...coincidence? i think not, aliens are responsible



and a final shot showing how i tried to weather it, the modifications arent complete yet, but this is a start.

this is my first tank, so try not to judge to harshly, though being an 'adult' i spose i can handle it. Anyway, c&c welcome
