This time I decided to attempt to get the tarnished bronze effect with the airbrush. I must say I am quite pleased with this first Rhino, so much so that I will be painting all the rest of the tanks using this technique. Since I had decided to start off fresh I made the decision to let a little of Menzies art grace the hulls of the Soul Reapers Rhinos. It's a case of reality mimicking art, thanks again Dude!
I think it turned out great, although it is a little off center.
It can be seen here in its art form:
Here is the rest of the Rhino, showing the tarnishing effect I was talking about.
What do you guys think I should I put on the other side of the front plate on the Rhino; a Chaos star or Skull?
Here's a sneak peak at the Reaver Champion, I will show the whole squad soon, as I am having trouble with my conversion for the demo pack.
I started painting the Harbinger of Malice today, and I am finally finishing up the last details on Xusia the Sorcerer. So expect an update soon.
The Rhino looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI would go with a Chaos Star on the other side of the red hull plate.
I can not wait to see the "other" models you have in store for us!
Thanks for the feedback Mags!
ReplyDeleteI did the Chaos star on my Pred and it does look schweet! Maybe I'll do a start with a skull in the middle.
Yeah, just wait until you see the secret project models. They are turning out really nice!

Wow! I love the paint scheme!
ReplyDeleteThe Rhino is gorgeous and that Reaver Champion looks suitably brutal.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Rhino I think I'd be in favour of a skull on the front, though I suppose it depends on what its carrying on a regular basis.
Love the Reaver Champion and the Bronze colour of the rhino. Good job done. As for what to put on plate, how about some roman numerals? Even Soul Reapers must account for their wargear? What Legion number were they?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments guys!
ReplyDeleteSiph, I was thinking about numbering the Rhinos, what if I used black roman numerals set on a yellow circle. I have scads of the loyalist decal sheets.
Oh yeah, the Soul Reapers started off as the 17th great company of the World Eaters legion.
Thanks again guys!
Jim
Very nice! I do like that bronze effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bud! I blame you for all the hard work that's going into the freehand on 5 Rhinos! You are an evil source of inspiration!
ReplyDelete-Jim
Very nice Jim - and I agree, you should number them.
ReplyDeleteBut what about something different - more chaotic? I'm not sure what, but maybe spikey-rune versions of the Roman numerals or something.
Awesome painting - Brent
Thanks Brent. So are you suggesting putting the Chaos arrow heads at each end of the numerals?
ReplyDeleteI was already contemplating that idea.
How about a human/ tau shield on the front?
