Updating OOP Rhinos

Hey Hobbyists,

A while ago a buddy of mine was getting out of the hobby.  He handed over a bunch of old Rhinos.  Since I've been working on a 30k era Ultramarines army I figured these would be a great addition.

I scraped off the old track and replaced it with Chimera tracks.  They fit perfectly and look great.

I'm trying out the fence incense burners from the imperial sector box as a stand in for the old exhaust pipes.

And I'm current working on scratch building a Deimos pattern rounded predator turret.

happy hobbying.

Christmas leave

Hello hobbyists,

I'm on leave for the next 3 weeks and that usually means modeling.  I'm headed home for Christmas so that will limit my ability to construct and model.

That being said, I should be able to do some sketching and concept drawing.

I've been really inspired recently.  There is a wealth of heresy stuff out there and it's given me the bug. 

I recently got the battle for Calth and the wonderful model, Primarch Roboute Guilliman.

I may not be the best sketched but Wait out to see more.

Folk,

I was unable to post of Saturday due to a conflict with work. To keep you interested and to let you know some of the other things that i am working on.  While still searching for more material for wargaming, I came across a photo of the book cover "Unremembered Empire".  Specifically this photo is interesting as we usually don't find clear photos of  Primarchs or of City Scapes, and this one has both.

I find the ideas of architecture in the far future quite enthralling.  Below you will find a number of photos of buildings I constructed using pink foam and the Imperial Sector buildings as a base.

 This one is a warehouse with a scratch built thunderbolt crashing through the wall.  Painting will begin this weekend, and i will be sure to post more photos as I go.

 Below is the apartment block, or Hab-Block if you will.  The design comes from a concept sketch that was drawn for the game Dawn of War II.

 
And finally, the work office of the Administratum.  More photos to follow this weekend.

Happy Wargaming.

Cheers,

Hello again,

The plan from now on is to post at least once a week and maybe twice on weekends.  Given my work schedule this should be doable until I get sent away for a couple of weeks to endure the frozen wilds of Canada.  Until then I will continue to post.

Like I said before, I went and found the best mock up sketches and

and after compiling all of the design elements and scrounging my bits boxes, I came up with a plan.  Given the time frame I had chosen, Post Heresy, I decided that Roboute Guilliman would most likely be armed with the Fists of Ultramar and would carry a Gladius, possible that of his father as a secondary weapon.  He would probably wear some form of Terminator armour as it provides protection and a tactical advantage, going with his personality. Using many of the pieces I already had and custom making templates where needed I started piecing the beast together.  I wanted to rush the process so many times and in a couple of places it is evident that I did.  That being said, I have also not actually modelled anything in quite a long time.

below is the final product, let me know what you think.

I'm quite happy with the outcome and might build another one to represent him Pre-Heresy as well.

Cheers, and Happy Modelling.
