Space Wolves Land Raider Crusader.
This Space Wolves army includes virtually (if not all) the Space Marine models and conversions from Forge World as well as all the plastic and metal models from Citadel.
It was on display at both GamesDay 2006 and GamesDay 2007.
More photographs of this army. Also have a look at our Land Raider and Land Raider Crusader galleries.

Very nicely done. More Land Raider Crusaders.
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.
Full workbench feature on the Mark IIb Land Raider.
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 putting my Mark IIb Land Raider together.
The track units went together very easily, adding the resin pieces was a little more complex.
The problem was that the resin pieces had shrunk slightly which meant the fit was not as good as the other plastic parts leaving some gaps between the resin parts and the plastic track units.
I did think about filling the gaps with green stuff, or using plasticard, however for the moment I am leaving as the gap is not that big.
I have been making progress on my Mark IIb Land Raider. I have been putting the sponsons together.
Unlike the smaller plastic ones which come with the plastic kit, these resin pieces are (in my opinion) much nicer and more robust.
At GamesDay 2007 I purchased volume 2 of the Forge World Imperial Armour series of hardbacked books. It’s the one that covers Space Marines and the Inquisition.
It is a excellently produced book and I have spent ages reading the text, looking at the excellent graphics and photographs – some of which are quite realistic looking, especially when you consider not only are we talking models, we’re also talking about gothic SF models. I also like the fact that they also include details on the original Rhino as well as the newer Rhino model.
The graphics are excellent and give plenty of ideas for paint schemes as well as insignia and other markings. I am going to be modelling my Mark IIb Land Raider on one of the schemes in the book.
I do have volume 1 and I would like to get some of the others in the series as well, the Siege of Vraks looks really interesting.
You don’t buy these for the gaming information, though that is useful, the delight in these books is just the sheer quality of the content and the look.
