2 Taurox Prime fully magnatized !

When I got my first Taurox Prime, I wanted to be able to make all the different versions from one kit. It was easier than expected. But due to the magnets I can't load my Taurox Prime with bags and accessories like I did with my standard Taurox. Now I'm on fence about getting some more Taurox Prime and building just one variant but adding lots of accessories like spare tires etc.

Grey Knights Terminator and Strike Squad Member

I've really enjoyed painting a Grey Knight Strike squad member and a Grey Knight Terminator as samples. The silver colour is really easy to paint and they got so many small bits and details to focus on. But on the other hand, painting a Land Raider or Rhino in silver might a little bit too much. I think that Grey Knight vehicles need a huge part with heraldic on their armour to make them look interesting. But we'll see.

Raven Guard Tactical Squad WIP

Here we go, I noticed my Militarum Tempestus Scions are lacking melee support, so I got back to the roots and started a Raven Guard army (I started 40k with a Raven Guard army years ago).

Back then I couldn't paint black very well, it just looked dull and boring to paint to me, but this changed over the years. I really enjoyed painting these 3 Tactical Marines. What do you think about them ? And I'm really looking forward to painting some vehicles for them, the scheme I want to use for them is a little different from the standard one, I had in mind to paint them like US Police cars in black and white. On the white part there is in letters RAVEN GUARD written on the side and a black Raven. On the black sides further at the back where you find the "911" is their Legion Number written in white.

Taurox - Long Range Reconnaissance Veteran Vehicle in desert camo

This is my version of the standard Taurox for my Imperial Guard in desert camo scheme. It is along the lines of the US camo scheme including identity markings. The wheel kit comes from victoria miniatures and is a perfect add on kit for this model. The mud flaps on the back and small wheel guard are made of plasticard. It was great fun building and painting this model as I did not have to watch out that all the magnetic parts are not obstructed by accessories like with my Taurox Prime models. But now I want all my Taurox to look like this one ^^ Hope you enjoy the pics
