Iron Warrior Rhinos – WIP

The ever faithful Rhinos! These are 3 of the 4 rhino transports currently possessed by the 14th Grand Company with the 4th being an ancient piece needing some fierce care before being shown to the public.

Rhino #1 of 14th Grand Company

All three are in various states of near-done. Mostly it is the various copulas that need to be finished and details added.

Rhino #2 of 14th Grand Company

Oh, and this one is now missing the roof, some how got left at the LFGS and never found, teaches me to not just seal it up and hide the inside.

I made heavy use of the washes for all three tanks, perhaps too heavy. I wanted to give a worn, weathered look which is often hard for ‘silver’ areas as they don’t have paint chips. Instead they came off a bit blotchy and may need some touch ups… we’ll see.

    I really like the blotchy, oil-streaked look of these vehicles. I think it would be too much if the entire tank were done this way, but the segments of black help to balance it out.

    Great job.

    Thanks wienas, I didn’t think about using the black areas to break up the streaks… I was debating on repainting the top hatches black with the yellow chevrons, which would help with that too.

    The top hatches might be a bit much painted black and yellow. Perhaps the smaller armor plate on the front of the tank just below the chaos star? It would stand out, but not be as much of a distraction as the top hatches (which are quite large). Also, since the plate is just above the spiky bits on the front, the “hazard” stripes would be functional as well :)

    good point, part of the reason I don’t like GW’s Iron Warriors is the excessive amount of chevrons they use, but in moderation they are striking. And warning the enemy you are about to gore them seems like a very generous thing to do indeed!

    Badab black wash then devlan mud by the looks? Is that right?

    Looking awesome, I really like how it looks really oily to the touch :)

    yep, the two washes I use more than any other. I painted them the same way I painted my foot troops. check out my step-by-step here: http://bp.dnyarak.com/2010/04/how-i-paint-my-iron-warriors-bringing-it-all-together/

    I thought so. I’ve seen others do there I.Ws badab black and then devlan mud. I do mine just black, but I might give brown wash a try too.
