Messing with the Looted Rhino

I have been trying out some of the turrets from my Battlewagon on my Ork Looted Rhino to see how they work out.

So here are some photographs seeing how the different turrets look on the looted rhino.

This is the small turret.

This is the cupola with Big Shoota.

Think they work quite well in making the Rhino Orky.

Undercoating the turret

Having masked the turret I gave it a spray with black undercoat.

Removing the masking tape shows that only those parts I wanted black are black.

Next stage will be to mask the black areas and spray a white undercoat.

Masking the turret

I have been thinking about using the turrets from the Ork Battlewagon on my Ork Looted Rhino.

I decided that I would use two undercoats, a black undercoat for some of the model and a white undercoat for the main bodywork. In order to achieve this I masked off the areas of the model that would be brown.

I decided that as I was using this on the Looted Rhino that I could get away with using an Imperial turret hatch and so I could use one of the Ork turret hatches (or mini turret) on another Ork vehicle.

Though the photograph shows the roof of the turret on the model, that is just to show how it will look and wasn’t stuck on at this time.

Battlewagon Turrets

The Ork Battlewagon comes with lots of parts and bitz including these two turrets.

I have decided to use neither on my Battlewagon, but will use them instead on my Looted Rhino.

Advancing Orks

My Orks cross the battlefield from a game of Warhammer 40K.

Packs quite a punch as there is a fair bit of heavy support.

Abandoned Looted Rhino

Though I have not quite finished my Looted Ork Rhino I have been using it in my games as an abandoned vehicle.

Just added a bit of lichen to make it look abandoned. Glad I modelled the rear door to open, the interior and that the top hatch is separate.

Ork Looted Rhino Gunner

I am quite pleased with my Looted Ork Rhino but still have a fair bit to do.

One of the things it does need is some weaponry, this was an attempt to add an Ork Gunner with Big Shoota.

Alas it doesn’t work for me. It looks like the Ork’s firing his Shoota at aircraft rather than at enemy Imperial Guard. I will be revisiting the Gunner at a later date.
