WIP Dark hunters Razorback!!

I started out to do the WGC painting challenge and pledged to paint a rhino.... BUT.....
Change of PLAN!!! it is not a Rhino Its a Razorback!!! Here is why.... I laid out my Rhinos for this project and I chose from the ones that needed some work

I found this wreck of a rhino chassis that I got from Ebay some time ago.... so I thought it was time to make some magic on it and breath some life into it!! Here is a pic overall...

and some detail shots

As you can see this is a wreck..... Its a mix of superglue, plastic glue and hot glue, and there was an attempt to magnetize parts SO I might properly attach some magnets for the sponsons. the tracks need to be redone, as well as alot of glue work.... But first it goes to the Purple Pond for a soak to clean up some paint!!!

Dark Hunters Army: update and Project log

Hello!!!

OK well first off Its the Day after the Storm, As some of you know Im on the East coast (Washington DC area) and we are dealing with Hurricane Sandy. Last night was the landfall and downgrade to Tropical Storm but We are all OK here and I personally had no flooding nor damage as far as I can tell. Here are some pics from a buddy and coworker of Mine Pete Giove-FourWinds who lives about a mile from me and is a professional part time Photographer. The link contains his portfolio which also contains Galleries that contain nudity. BE WARNED if you are sensitive.

Again we are fine and alls Well....

NOW on to the MEAT!!! Dark Hunter Marines!!!
I have finished stripping the Marines and have been busy repairing some of them I broke and those who are not what I want. I have not been to storage for more bitz but Im able to get most of what Im wanting, and will build more when I go to storage for the proper bitz. There is about 100 power armored marines, 30 Termies, 10 assault marines, 25 Bikes and 6 speeders. I have not started with the rhinos yet, but Im going to put up to 6 rhinos in the army. Here is some pics:

Today these will get placed on Painting sticks (toothpicks in the feet)  and HOPEFULLY basecoated/primered. I am using American Accents Midnight Blue as my base color/primer.

Its currently 40 degrees F and Rain so we will see about priming today. I might do it in the foyer to avoid the rain but its still cold... And once its primed I will start painting with the Airbrush and I cant do that outside without freezing, so Im needing a indoor spray booth. I'll look into that but it might just be a table by a window and a fan blowing out....LOL

As far as Pads Im getting some masters made from a buddy Ben AKA Fleafa and will cast them myself for this project. Im planning on putting the chapter badge on BOTH shoulders with a white shield for the chapter icon and colored shields on the other shoulder for squad markings. Also I plan to do the rims maybe a different color on the squad pads... foe easy ident on the table. Im not sure yet. Now I have YET to pay Ben for them so.... They will be later......

AS for Bases Im going to use Dragonforge "Parched Earth" Set in a Blue-Grey ash waste theme to tie in to the blues of the Armor but be much lighter in color. Maybe paint in the sand brown like the pics but give a blue glaze when done to shade and tie in....Anyway Here are the bases:

This should be about all I got going on for the Marines. If you got any questions or comments Feel free to hit me up!!

Until next time Serve the Emperor well!!!
Munkey!!

More on Munkeys NEW marines

OK well I have been talking with some friends and such and I found some pads I liked.....

.....Warning From here on out Fluff bunnies might get upset.....

I found these:

I was super happy and I thought they would fit my Dark Hunters marines well.... See??

Adds a little more texture and still have the "double headed axe" look!! WIN!!! Except I forgot to realize I did not read completely the Badab War books from Forge World.....

Well DAMN!! The Executioners stole my Iconography!!! The Bastards!!! So I looked more into the Executioners and found not only did I like their Icon but the also had a blue color scheme before Forge World changed my FLUFF!!! (this is another rant altogether though!!)

NOW this Kinda fits my Objective of working more with the airbrush as I can do the camo with an Airbrush, but I however do not like it. Really I dont like it. And I have seen Executioners before but have never seen Dark Hunters So what Im going to do is a little bit of Heresy. Im going to use the icons as Dark hunter Icons and paint them as Dark hunters. I will however look to the fluff in the FW books from the Executioners to pattern my vehicles and squad markings some. 

I also have found a VERY cool blog that did some very nice Executioners called Fourth Company Librarium and He (I think its a He!! pretty sure) and He used some Chapter house Doors for his Rhinos and did some pretty good ideas for markings.....

Im thinking I will Like this "new" direction and then I will have a good playable army and work on my airbrush tech for painting minis. I picked up some Tamiya acrylics and Airbrush hose for my new airbrushes (im going from an Iwata to Badgers I got on Ebay). Im going with Tamiya Flat blue with field blue and medium blue to act as my highlight and shade.

SO thats a little update and I hope no one is too mad im using some "liberty" with my icons....;)

So till next time Serve the Emperor well!!

Munkey!

OH!! PS I saw this on Darogs Company blog and thought we would like to get some of this....;)
