Heresy Era Imperial Fists – Rhinos Painted

Another hellacious week I'm afraid, coupled with the mild burnout I felt after cranking through all the black on the infantry from last weekend meant I didn't get a whole lot of brush time in. I didn't want to lose my forward momentum entirely however and managed to finish off the trio of Rhinos when I could squeeze in a little time.


The first two will act as transports for the Tac squad when it's not being run as a big 20-man blob. Once I got some weathering and decorations on them the yellow looks a little less slapdash, but overall the sepia wash stage from the scheme doesn't work particularly well over such large flat surfaces. Overall though they ended up being perfectly serviceable!


The veteran squad will be rolling in the third Rhino, and again there are some things about the scheme that I'm not happy with - The edge highlighting, never my strong suit, ended up being pretty disappointing. Scaling up the colors from the black scheme I'd used on the infantry sounds good on paper, but on larger surfaces such as vehicles, the scheme ends up much brighter and stark than I had hoped. I think in the future I'll be leaving the final grey highlight off, and instead wash the dark grey edges down with a black wash then re-highlight with the dark grey again. Should keep it a bit more subdued. I do like the predominantly black with yellow accent panels look overall though - the upcoming Land Raiders and Venators will be sporting that look, I think!

Rather busy Saturday ahead, but I'm hoping to crack on with the infantry from earlier and get some good progress towards completing them on Sunday!
