NightHunters Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Love that whirlwind, proper old school! Looks just like the old epic units and simply, yet very effectively done. Great work chap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Wow, just wow. Such excellent work, dude. I love it. Is that a lego piece you used for the whirlwind? Also, could you linky to the rogue trader era conversion pages for ot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Wow, lovely conversions again Kalrath! If this is how you do the Rhio-based models, I cannot wait to see what you do with a Land Raider! :D Is that a lego piece you used for the whirlwind? Also, could you linky to the rogue trader era conversion pages for ot? That's the underside of a WHFB 40mm base, not a Lego. ;) The conversion instructions for the WW were featured in... WD117 I think? The next issue of WD was how to convert the Vindicator too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalrath Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Thank you! I have been looking for Land Raider from way back when, but it's proving difficult to get a old of... Indeed it is from WD 117. https://www.games-workshop.com/doc/220395733/White-Dwarf-117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I have been looking for Land Raider from way back when, but it's proving difficult to get a old of... Honestly, for the simple shapes and lack much detail on the old ones, I'd suggest scratch-building one. Plus, you can make it a slightly better size that way! Some examples here and here.

Kalrath Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 So, this happened: Gave a shot at scratch building one, but a good deal came along and couldn't resist adding old timer to the army. What do you think? And now this will happen (from the same deal!): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Nice hybrid. Truly a unique version of the Annihilator. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Superb, it really captures that modern-retro look perfectly. I am really looking forward to seeing your tanks painted up! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 That Land Raideris almost cute it's so inspired. But duuuuude, that predator! Superb work. Absolutely superb. Will you do a tut on the LR? I have a set of Spartan tracks left over, so I might copy your idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalrath Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Thanks! Sure, the Land Raider is very straight forward. I'll see what I can do. I'm very pleased with the Predator too. Came out really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalrath Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 I've been a little busy with other projects, but now, I'm back! I bought a Veda W180 Airbrush to apply basecoats and was impressed with its quality. So much so, that I decided to give it a shot on one of the tanks. After quite a bit of research on the tecnhiques, here are my first experiments with an Airbrush: Rhino Razorback Old School Whirlwind and all the options I have at the moment: Still have to apply the decals. I have some old Microset/sol bottles that aer quite old, and instead of going straight to the Rhino, decided to try them on a shoulderpad, to see if they're still good.

Soldier of Dorn Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Lovely work on these, they have a great retro feel. They also don't seem to be "overly airbrushed" either, which is a plus in my book. :tu: The pictures seem to be broken when I try to view it on my laptop, but work fine on my phone? Curious if anyone else is having similar issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 No issues on my PC with the pictures here. The tank is wonderfully painted. I agree with Psycho that it doesn't look overtly airbrushed, which is nice. What's the whirlwind launcher made from? Great conversion work on the Razorback turret too, albeit a bit high for my taste.. If I'm not mistaken, that's a Land Raider cover, right?

Kalrath Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks! I prefer simple schemes, so I went with a simple color modulation to enhance the large flat areas of the old Rhino. I think the end result matches well with the rest of the army. That's also why I didn't weather it. As for the Whirlwind turret, it's based on the original conversion from WD117 (pgs 40 & 41) https://www.games-workshop.com/doc/220395733/White-Dwarf-117 It seems Google photos is no longer a decent way of linking photos... I'll look into other ways. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Especially the WD you linked to) As for photos, I switched to the B&C gallery after the last time Google Photos updated. Its free and it works well for this site (and others as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
