Dark Angels - age of the emperor: Storm Hawk wip 2

Been a really hectic week at work so my updates have been falling behind. While painting this model, the more I held it and studied the shapes, the more I was not pleased with the turret shape/positioning.

I went back to the AOTE PDF and reread the wargear with a cold glass of sake (japanese rice wine) and eureka!!! I got hit with another idea to revamp this. Funny how alcohol brings out the creative side of me...

I've decided to swap out the entire storm raven turret mount. It looks to bulbous and does not mesh well with the overall design of the storm hawk. My idea is that the storm hawk should fill in the evolutionary gap between thunderhawks and storm ravens. I wanted the turret to be sleeker similar to the turbo laser found on top of thunderhawks.

Below are some pics to show some comparisons with the redesigned turret.

Dark Angels Pre-heresy Rhinos WIP 4

I've tried really hard to finish these but I came down with a really nasty flu which has left me in bed with a fever for most of the weekend.

I'd say I'm at around 95% complete, whats still left is some small details and battle damage along with paint chips and dings. I plan on giving these tanks the dusty weathering chalk treatments as well. This took a total of 8 days inclusive of being sick lol... pretty fast if you ask me.

Dark Angels Pre-heresy Rhinos WIP 3

Greens - added final coat of goblin green highlights to further bring out the matte green undertone

Beige - washed with devlan mud

Tracks - matte black basecoat, boltgun metal, badab black wash

For my dark angels vehicles, I've used extensively airbrushed and relied on washes and drybrush highlights to save time as I'm working on 4 vehicles simultaneously.

In order to bring a balance of rich tones to each main color, 3 coats of tone building colors were used. I honestly hate painting as I have no patience... Looks like I'm on schedule to finish these vehicles within 7 days! Throw your hands in the air and say hurray for the bad guy...
