From time to time I’ll reach into the hobby vault to feature models painted before I started this blog.
Assault Terminators pouring out of Land Raiders has always been a key image for me in 40k. So naturally, when I started playing the Land Raider was one of the first things I picked up.
Land Raider Crusader
It never performed nearly as well in game as I thought that it should, but that rarely stopped me from trying again.
Land Raider Redeemer
I magnetized the turrets to allow play with either modes, although I don’t think I ever brought it in the flamer-tastic Redeemer edition.

This Tactical squad, although fourth to be posted and labeled as squad I, was actually the second one I painted, back early 2012 or so. It’s the squad from the fifth edition Assault on Black Reach box.
Ultramarines Tactical Squad I (sergeant group)
It was also the first infantry I painted using an airbrush to put down the basecoats.
Ultramarines Tactical Squad I (meltagun group)
The meltagun is a small conversion, since I believe it came with a flamer.

The Rhino is the backbone of many Space Marine armies. I had two from my initial 2nd/3rd edition foray into the game, but they either weren’t painted, or at least not remotely well.

Some airbrushing and a bit of black an silver would at least make them presentable. And that’s as far as I got with them while still playing the game.

Over the years I built a couple of objectives for 40k. They’d probably work for any scifi setting in a pinch.
Barrel on side objective
This and the next are pretty simple applications of a Tamiya WWII oil drum kit with a few 40k flourishes. Nothing too exciting, but it gets the job done.
Standing barrel objective
The last one is the exciting one of the bunch. I did this one for a campaign involving my Dark Eldar, on a planet with some latent Necron action. I had purchases a bag of random bits, from which I found some Necron parts to assemble into this vaguely interesting shape. The orange and black matches my Dark Eldar. My thought is that it’s a Dark Eldar power pack activating some Necorn artifact found on the planet surface.
