Land Raider Redeemer - WiP 2

Burn heretics, burn !

  The LRR (Land Redeemer Raider) assembly, builded for the (future) Death Wing Knights is finished. The configuration is not the same one as on the first Land Raider. I wanted to give it an older aspect, more massive.

  In order to facilitate transport (and disassembling), the turrets are magnetized. I added a plastic door inside,  then glued a 3mm magnet on each side. For painting, the turrets are not stuck, as well as the Space Marine arms. It may be necessary to wait a bit to see it painted, I have other minis to paint for a tournament.

Dark Angels Whirlwind - Repaint

I'm still re-painting my Dark Angels army, alternating Marines and vehicles.

  For this one, I modified the way I painted the impacts on the body. Instead of simply painting rusty metal, I added a border of the same color as the body highlights. This border strengthens the zones of rust impact.

  Lenses have been redone, as well as all the red zones. Finally, I added numerous micro-impacts, using a blister foam. And if we look at the old painted version, progress is obvious.

Dark Angel Vindicator

COME GET SOME !

  I have the pleasure to be able to add a new figurine to my Dark Angels army! Painted in less than two weeks, I managed to fast paint a tank and her option, while working the paint(painting).

  The bulldozer blade's mounted with lowered lighthouses protections, to present something different.

 I used these two protections as cupboards to show:
- left: the abseiling Dark Angels membership.
- right: Doom Angels symbolism present on all the army's minis.

   The freehand's inspired by the Imperial Guard's symbol, easier to realize that the initially planned imperial eagle.

  As the tank, the blade is worked with blister pack foam to feign impacts and rust.

(and I'm sorry for being late)

Devil's in the details

At first sight, few differences between last week picture of the new one below...

  I painted all the hollow with the Dryad Bark to simulate dirt accumulation and give some volume. I also dry brushed the outlets as well as the canon to enhance the realistic look.

  One can see exhaust traces added on vents, the streaks of rust and leak of hydraulic oil.

The bulldozer blade remains to be done and the vindic' will be ready for the XXVth French Waaagh Day.

Come get some !

Now I have fortifications, let's paint a tank to destroy them !

[Transport] Land Raider Crusader

  FINALLY! After two months of presence on the bench, the Land Raider Crusader is finally finished.

  As you can see, I spended much time to work the battle damages. They were carried out with a blister foam and some Boltgun Metal, Vermin Brown and Scorched Brown. The fatty run-outs were produced with a Smoke juce (ref. 939) from Prince August. You can try the same with some Tamiya smoke.

  While having worked the wings as well as the freehands, that didn't prevent from damaging them with many impacts and run-outs of rust.

  The multimelta turret from Forge World is a must-have, as well as the shining varnish on the aiming optics. By the way, I replaced the front turret by a Razorback turret, with integrated optics. It seemed essential to to have optics on each turret to allow the Spirit of the Machine to aim.

[Transport] Land Raider Crusader WiP (5)

  I continue to advance on the Land Raider Crusader. Initially envisaged for the end of November, I had to delay the painting work to paint a table which made its games at the FWD XXIII.

  As you can see it on these pictures, the painting work is very advanced. However, it is still necessary for me to inflict many battle damage to it and add shades. Delivery planned for the end December, in order to make a success of the Challenge of the End of the world…

[Transport] Land Raider Crusader WiP (4)

  Seems I'm condemned to post the same thing all along... The Crusader Land Raider advances slowly but surely. I finished the Forge World multi-fusor, and the first turret is quite advanced.
Emperor's golden throne, what a work!

[Transport] Land Raider Crusader WiP (3)

  Riiiiiight! I'm happy to show you an -almost- completed WiP from the Land Raider Crusader. I just have some details (lights, a skull) to paint and it'll be finished.

  Don't worry, this vehicule will be as dusted and rusted than the others. Till, you can see the details.

[Transport] Land Raider Crusader WiP (2)

  Once again I'm late, but I was sick to the point I had to stop painting during one week… And that didn't arrange the Land Raider  painting.

However, I'm already working on the highlights.

Challenge of the End of the world: back 2 work

  You believed that the Challenge was over, for lack of combatants? No way! I continue to prepare the 3000 pts necessary for January 1st and the Apocalypse game envisaged with WaterGun.

   All I have to paint to be ready is 2 terminators, a Crusader and the command squad.

[Heavy Support] Whirlwind

  The first heavy support vehicule I made wasn't the predator presented here but a whirlwind. It must be because I really like to have the artillery template in hand and put it on as many minis as possible. (hur hur hur)

  I placed white wings on both sides of the missiles ramps. The sword was placed in front of the vehicule, as a Heavy Support symbol.

  A you can see on this picture, the missil ramp is (almost) fonctionnal.

  There are rust traces on the roof because mecanic servitors must reload the missiles. I made many damages because the whirlwind is supposed to move in cover and get into the ruins. (my Doom Angels army is based on a city fight)

Two details on this picture: 

• first, I replaced the radar by a small Dark Angel icon
• second, I added an aiming device on the roof.

[Heavy Support] Predator

   When I knew I was going to play in Saumur at a "Heavy support museum", I needed to ad a predator to my Dark Angels army.

   As a heavy support, the predator as a big red sword in front side, the wings are in the botz box. The sided heavy bolters are removable and can be changed for laser canon... which aren't painted right now.

   I didn't make as much damage on this vehicule than I used to. (I didn't have enought time) Anyway, I think i'll keep t like this. To much battle damage kills it.
