New WIP: Forgeworld MkIIB Land Raider

I bought this model a good few years ago now and had originally intended to use it for my Crimson Fists. Having abandoned that particular chapter long ago I decided it would be perfect for my pre-heresy Death Guard army. Although I'm not entirely looking forward to painting this monster tank in white its going to be fun putting it together and trying to get all the iconography on it that I want. This picture is the model as it stands so far. The symbol on the front was made using a press mold (which hopefully I'll get round to doing a separate post on at some point!) with the idea being that I can make lots of the same symbol. The next big job is getting the side sponsons on but in the mean time I also need to paint the inside black as I totally forgot about it whilst putting the chassis together.

Thanks for reading.

Damn you Forgeworld! (you can't help but love them!)

Don't get me wrong, I love all the miniatures Forgeworld produce, especially all the space marine stuff. It's just that the pre-heresy books from the Black Library have been an on going thing for quite a while now, and only now have Forgeworld caught up. The problem is that I originally started my Death Guard army after reading the first couple of books. Since then I've been converting all my models to look more suitable for a pre-heresy army and Forgeworld have been releasing lovely new models of the various mk's of armour, all of which look so much better than my models. I also have a few vehicles sat still on the sprues waiting to be included in my army. I figured if I'd gone to all the effort of altering my normal troops it would be a shame not to do the same for the vehicles. Below is a Rhino door I sculpted a while back which I intend to use on both my rhino's and my mkIIb land raider.
