Rhino/Razorback Complete

Now well into my push to finish painting all my Space Wolf models before starting on my Dark Eldar, this magnetised Rhino/Razorback is the last of tanks I had left to complete.

The only disappointing aspect of this paintjob is that even with the varnish spray applied, some areas of the tank still scratch easily, so I am going to have to be careful not to scrape it around during battles.

Other than that I am fairly happy with the tank. Progress was rapid enough to keep the boredom away that I usually get when painting the larger models of the hobby (during the painting of my Land Raider and Drop Pod this issue cropped up a lot). With this tank complete I fielded a completely painted army for the first time ever on Friday night. From the Wolves view, it was pretty awesome.

Anyway, here are the remaining photos of the completed and magnetised Rhino/Razorback.

Rhino/Razorback WIP

Having started (finally) on painting the last remaining vehicle for my Space Wolves army I thought I would put up a few pictures showing my progress so far.

Everything outside of the armour and tracks of the tank has been completed, which means I should be finished with the tank by the weekend.

Having got this far with it I do kind of wish I could go back to the start and do the main colour first, then add everything else on top. As time travel is not available yet I will have to make do with being very careful on certain areas of the tank to ensure I do not paint over stuff I have already completed. Will be a good challenge and see how steady my hand can be (I'm betting on 'not very').

I used to dislike painting vehicles immensely as they generally take a lot of time to do and you need to sit down for long sessions with them to get them done. While both are still true, I am enjoying this Rhino/Razorback and also enjoyed the two Land Speeders I finished a couple of weeks back. I think the change from painting standard marines is playing a large part in that.

So, with nothing else to add, I will leave you to the few remaining work in progress shots I have of the magnetised Rhino/Razorback so you can see my progress for yourself.
