Hahaha! Pil, those marines sure bring back some memories. I remember building that Whirlwind conversion as well.  :)

Great pictures Pil! It's good to see some more of your marines in the LPL again, good stuff. Good title as well!

Very nice entry Gamer Mac, I especially like the guy in the kilt and the overdressed man 8)

Thanks FB! and Raz, I built the Vindicator conversion as well but it got too crowded in the picture to include it, so I decided to put the focus on the bikers rather than the tanks, more pictures will follow after the round is through.
Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly

Thanks Pil
I used to have a Rhino converted like that but it got overhauled for my space orcs :D
I have the preditor for my squats a bit worse for ware at the moment and has not been used for years. Always one of my favorite GW tanks. Converted a vindicator as well. All in the good old days when you could afford GW stuff without a second morgage. I remember when the rhino kit first came out, three in a box for £20, I think :o :o :o
Must admit I never really liked the SM old bikes, always liked my squat guild brikers and trikes better.
Yours are very nice though and bring back some very old memories.

Am I so young here? As I began to play 40k the raven armour was already replaced through MK7. And my first rhino cost £8 (or 9 German Mark) for one.

Thanks Pil that you woke these nice memories of 40k by your beautiful work.

Nice entry too, Gamer Mac.

Thanks Gamer Mac, I also really like this predator with it's low profile and sleek looks. I think the sponsons of the original look less attractive but of course the one I painted doesn't have them.

I don't know, I started well into 2nd edition with Warhammer Fantasy and only got interested in the Rogue Trader stuff thanks to eBay some ten years ago, after I had already built and painted an army for 3rd edition (which I consequently rarely played with). The website of Tom Beliech's Rogue Trader Cult fuelled my interest and since then I collected quite a lot of old Space Marines and even painted a couple of them 8)

So for me it's less about childhood memories but more about liking the figures, wanting to do something different and a false sense of nostalgia 8)

I forgot about the sponsons they are horrible but you couldn't argue with two Laz cannons :D

Well, I've been submitting GW skeletons since round 1 so it's about time someone commented on my behaviour ;)

Thanks! They weren't meant to be Flesh Tearers but a chapter of my own making, the Devastation Angels. The symbol is basically the same as the Flesh Tearers (a buzzsaw just looks cool and is not too difficult to paint) and their colours are green and white. Painting everything in their own colours is rather boring though so I deviate from the livery quite a bit. You can view more pics of the army here, painted mostly during the LPL3:
