A few odds'n'sods to submit this week, not vehicles exactly but vehicle parts. First up is a resin turret weapon to fit one of my Blood Drinkers Space Marine Rhinos.
It had been sitting in a bits box for probably close on 10 years, so it was time to just get it painted. It took a bit more work than just that though - I also had to fabricate a plasticard base to fit the Rhino's top hatch space.
I'd kept track of the paint mix on our blog but unfortunately, I'd painted the Blood Drinkers so long ago that the GW paints I used no longer exist (Evil Sunz Orange, anyone?)
Anyway here's a couple pics of the Rhino in standard configuration. I like that the Predator turret is easily swapped in or out. If the Rhino itself looks a little "different" that's because it's been converted with "MkI" parts from Chapterhouse Studios (RIP). I really miss that vendor...
And lastly, the Predator turret by itself.
Next up was finishing a couple more weapons for the Reaver Battle Titan - a Volcano Cannon and carapace-mounted Vulcan Mega-Bolter, both shown above
The Volcano Cannon is faintly ridiculous...but you gotta love it.
Vulcan Mega-Bolter ready to dish out some hurt.
Of course I had to stick a plate on the big Volcano.
Pic above shows production with an Iron Warriors Space Marine Sergeant. Just wanted to demonstrate a bit of the scale of the vehicle parts here.
So I'm going to claim 20 points for this lot, I hope that's acceptable. I'll be back next week with something for the Western Desert campaign.
I do like a BFG. Some nice completion work here and yes 20pts is acceptable
Neat work, Dallas! Given the size of that volcano cannon, I'd have claimed it as a vehicle in its own right for points! :)
ReplyDeleteNice kit, the AFV looks suitably battered
ReplyDeleteBring out the guns! Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Nice work! Rhino looks great. I do wonder what giant mechs and robots with guns for arms do with all the recoil!
ReplyDeleteLovely work Dallas
ReplyDeleteGood job, Dallas!
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to finish those leftover bits that hang about. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great turret!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work on these weapons. GW's regular reformulations are one of the most irritating things they do to their customers. Don't theyknow it takes decades to paint an army?
ReplyDeleteSplendid work, the titan in particular
ReplyDeleteGosh that titan is fantastic
ReplyDeleteCheers

Great work Dallas. The size of the Titan's "Volcano Cannon" is incredible, and incredibly hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI miss Chapterhouse...
Nice work, Dallas! I love the BFG! Grand work on meshing the paint for the APC with the razorback turret too!
ReplyDeleteThanks David, that was a bit of a challenge! And yes, Razorback!! I keep forgetting that's what they're called
DeleteGreat 40k Vehicles and Gunnery!
ReplyDeleteExcellent stuff Dallas. I'm a big fan of the Vulcan Mega-Bolter in AT (lots of dice!).
ReplyDeleteDallas, I don’t think that volcano cannon is big enough… looks great though! :P
