WH40K - Deadly Death Raider... of Deadly Death!!!

The Deadly Death Raider. A Games Workshop Land Raider with extra bits from Scibor Monstrous Miniatures (the rectangular and other panels) , Chapterhouse Studios (the side and front doors), Renedra (the grave markers) and assorted bits (mostly GW, random resin and styrene skulls, plus some cheap chain.)

Paint:
Sprayed in Citadel black, then Tamiya Black, then weathered with Tamiya Desert Tan (very light spray), bit of dry brushing, some silver marker pen, some actual dirt, a Tamiya weathering pencil rubbed on to some sponge and dabbed across the body, and finished with Tamiya flat clear spray.

WH40K - Deadly Deathraider ... Of Death - mostly painted

Here's the Deathraider, with a slap of paint. I have to say that the aftermarket resin pieces I added are all very nicely sculpted. I decided on basic black, with a sort of tombstone grey for the stone work, and bone for the skeletons and skulls. Tamiya metallic spray for the weapons and tracks, with a little black ink here and there to tidy up spills and mess. I will have to re-do the black parts again, because I am getting sloppy with my drybrushing. As usual, I am going for tabletop, arms length quality, rather than 'Eavy Metal.

A quick rundown of the extra bits:

- Angel of Death side doors and ramp, from Chapterhouse Studios
- Rectangular and angled panels, from Scibor
- Tombstones and grave markers, from Renedra.

Chains from a craft shop. About $5 for two metres.  I just drilled small holes and used little nails to hold the chains on.

Skeleton from the Warhammer Giant plastic kit.

WH40K: Deadly Deathraider... Of Death.

I am building a Space Marine Landraider with a sort of Angel of Death theme. I am using resin add-on bits from a number of companies. I still have to add weapons, tracks and hatches, and possibly some chains.

The rectangular slabs and the odd shaped panels at the front are from Scibor Miniatures. I added some styrene strips to blank off the sides of the 'slabs' over the front tracks. They aren't very even now, but I will file them down. I want to paint them to look like stone, so a few rough edges will be acceptable.

The Landraider doors, front and sides are from Chapterhouse Studios.

I also used some tombstones (in polystyrene) from Renedra, leftover from a graveyard terrain piece I have been making for Warhammer Fantasy Battles, and there are also a few bits from the bits box. (Skulls!)

The plan for painting is basic black with the decorations picked out in stone and bone. This vehicle should be suitable for the infamous Legion of the Damned.
