Thank you all!
I have to put some work on it, but for the moment I can work with...

Somewhere in the Segementum Pacificus, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, a gentleman lived during M.35, one of those who has an energy lance and ancient power field on a rack and keeps a clapped-out technag and a rusty cyberhound for racing [...]. Some claim that his family name was Quirixada, or Querexada, for there is a certain amount of disagreement among the authors who write of this matter, although [...] this does not matter very much to our story; in its telling there is absolutely no deviation from the truth.

And so, let it be said that this aforementioned gentleman spent his times of leisure - which meant most of the year - reading data slates of Space Marines, Inquisitors, Rogue Traders and chivalry with so much devotion and enthusiasm that he forgot almost completely about the hunt and even about the administration of his estate; and in his rash curiosity and folly he went so far as to sell his land, his ships, land speeders and servitors in order to buy data slates of chivalry to read, and he brought as many of them as he could into his house; and he thought none was as fine as those composed by the worthy Richard of Priestley, because the clarity of his prose and complexity of his language seemed to him more valuable than pearls [...].

With these words and phrases the poor gentleman lost his mind [and] became so caught up in reading that he spent his nights reading from dusk till dawn and his days reading from sunrise to sunset, and so with too little sleep and too much reading his brains dried up, causing him to lose his mind. His fantasy filled with everything he had read in his books, psychic powers as well as combats, battles, challenges, wounds, armour save, lascannons, Orks, Eldar, and he became so convinced in his imagination of the truth of all the countless grandiloquent inventions he read that for him no history in the world was truer.

So, in time, this Don Alonzo de Quirixada decided to clean some Imperial Guard armour of his ancestors, that had lain for ages forgotten in a corner, eaten with rust and covered with mould. He took his old techsteed Rho-102 (or Rho-CII, in Gothic numerals) and left his home in search of adventure, duels and undoing wrongs through the Galaxy...

Brilliant vibrant work! The paint job is really great and the fluff made me laugh, it’s a really nicely executed piece of work, Suber. I thought the steed body was going to suffer from lack of detail but you’ve really smashed it :)

Thank you all! I've started some work on Dapple, Sancho Panzer's mount. My first idea was using a pretty old Warmachine Deathripper as a starting point, but I had this other even sillier idea of using a Kinder egg (you know, those toys into egg-shaped chocolate). So, with the Deathrippers legs I'm starting like this:



You can see the size it has next to RhoCII:



I like the idea of making it chubby and short-legged, looks fun and into the role. I've begun to add some details...




But there is still a looong way ahead!

Good timing ;)

Haha, I hadn't thought of that! I'm quite curious to see what's the movie like in the end after all these years!
