The cardboard tank factory finished Rhino number 3 today. Due to not being able to run up a large deficit budget, equipping both G's Blood Angel army and my Space Wolves army with genuine GW Rhinos, I have resorted to building them from posterboard using the the templates from the bwc-archive yahoo group.
Results are very satisfactory so far. From a distance they blend in very well and you have to look twice to notice they aren't the real thing.
I just stuck down the templates onto the next sheet of posterboard for numbers 4 and 5, so within the next few days I'll have enough vehicles for the 1500 point list for the first round of the winter league.
Experiments with making turrets for Razorbacks have been less successful. I have 4 lascannon turrets now which are.... adequate.... I guess. They should look OK painted but are a bit tall. I'm sure someone will accuse me of deliberately modeling them high for better LOS, but they were just assembled out of stuff I had at hand.
Next I need 8 spare plasmaguns to add on to the turrets so they will be WYSIWYG for las/plas.
On another topic: All my Skyclaw marines elected to defect to the Blood Angels this weekend and went bathing in brake fluid. They are now enjoying their spiffy new red paint job and are actually agreeing with the orks that it does make them go faster!
