I have added the (rather large) exhausts to my Mark IIb Land Raider.
They are much bigger than the plastic exhausts that come with the standard plastic Land Raider kit, but in my opinion do work well.

Another Inquisitorial Henchman, a Witch Hunter Dialogus.
I have based and prepared my Witch Hunter Dialogus for undercoating.

I have based and prepared my Witch Hunter Acolyte for undercoating.
The Acolyte looks like an interesting model to paint, what with the book and the big flame thingy.

I have been building one of the Warhammer plastic buildings that Games Workshop produce, the chapel. The model went together really well. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
I decided to have the chimney rather than the window.
The next stage will be the undercoat, I will be using a black undercoat
I have been putting together my Ork Kommando with Burna and basing him with some Games Workshop modelling sand and slate.
The model goes together quite well, initially I left off the backpack to paint separately, though since I took these photographs, I changed my mind and stuck it on.
He will join my other Kommandos that I am working on.

I have added the lascannon sponsons to my Daemonhunters Mark IIb Land Raider.
They fit over the gaps where the doors and lascannon assemblies go on the “traditional” plastic “modern” Land Raider.
I have used Inquisitor Rhino doors on the sponsons, the normal Land Raider doors don’t fit they are slightly bigger.
I much prefer this model over the “modern” Land Raider and if I get a second Land Raider then it will be another Mark IIb.
This then begs the question what do I do with Grey Knights Land Raider doors I have?

I have been adding some more symbology and seals to my Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor.
I have been using Forge World’s Inquisitor brass etchings and their resin purity seals.
They are a nice and simple (yet effective) way of adding character to Daemonhunter vehicles.

If you have looked at my Grey Knights pages you will realise that I am attempting to paint a Grey Knights force which goes beyond the listings in the DaemonHunters Codex. What I am trying to do is to create a Grey Knights force (using the Space Marine Codex) and then using a DaemonHunters force as allies.
This was the last blog update on the Razorback, so since then this is what I have done.
The basic Rhino kit comes with two different doors, one relatively blank and the other with steps (or ladder) on. I decided to use a spare blank door from my Repressor and use two blank doors. I added a brass Grey Knights symbol from the Forgeworld Grey Knights brass etching and a resin purity seal. When I was editing the pictures for the web, I noticed that I had inadvertently glued one of the symbols upside down! I therefore had to remove it from the door, turn it round and stick it down. It did not come off too easily, but I am glad I spotted it now rather than when I was painting (or worse when I had finished) the model.
I added a resin frontal armour plate from the Forge World Inquisitor Rhino Doors (having used the other resin side doors on my Repressor.
I added a few more purity seals. You can see that I also added the doors with the brass etchings on them.
You can see on this shot the upside down brass symbol.
I think it needs more symbols, seals and icons.

In my recent Painting Tanks blog entry I said:
I am now thinking that maybe I should give my tanks a black undercoat and then use something like Tausept Ochre from the Foundation Paints range for the base coat. I would follow this with a wash (as above) and then highight with a lighter brown, before weathering the tanks.
After thinking about this for some time, I remembered that I had my Ork Gunwagon, and it was undercoated black. So it was out with the paints and here is the initial result.
I was really pleased with this, that I will be using this method on my Daemonhunters’ tanks. Before though I will finish the Gunwagon off first.
There was an article on the Games Workshop website which got me re-thinking about how I was going to paint my tanks.
As well as my other Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers which are based on the Cadian Kasrkin I have also decided to add a unit based on the Tallarn or I may just use them as inducted Imperial Guard.
So far I have purchased a single blister.
Having taken the models out of the blister I was disappointed to find that the slottabase tabs on the bottom of the figures were way too narrow for the slots on the slottabases, so it was out with the green stuff to thicken the tabs up.
I enhanced the bases with some slate and resin from the Warhammer 40K Basing Kit and some Games Workshop modelling sand.
One day I might get a few more of these.
