I created the siege shield from two normal dozer blades.  And i modified the front of the old Rhino to hold a Imperial mortar which acts as the demolisher cannon. At this stage i found out that the sides of the rhino i was using, where not perfectly straight. This caused some problems with the alignment siege shield.  The siege shield is now slightly off center. This does not bother me so i do not think i will do anything about is. But the model as is does not look all that good (i think a nice even base coat will fix this).

I looked at some pictures on internet to find out what still had to be done. I noticed the old style vindicator was wider than the Rhino model, so i adapted the model to be wider than the original. I placed a (filled down) razorback cover on top of the rhino, and added and old computer fan i had lying around. Because the sides where now a little dull, i added a door on each side of the vindicator, and added come extra exhaust bits.

Eventually i created the stormbolter gunner. I thought a heavy stubber looked better than a small stormbolter as pintle mounted support. The gunner model does not fit on the old rhino model so i made a new posision out of a 20 mm base. There are still things todo on the model. I will make a grid on the left side of the vindicator (like the one on the engine compartments). And then of course there must be painting…..

First i widened the hole in the Torso of the destroyers. With a little green-stuff i fixed the magnets in place making sure the edge of the magnet was on the edge of the ribcage.

For the heavy weapons i just fixed an other magnet to the weapon. I made sure the polarity was right (or else the weapon would not be usable at all). I did not use the supplied spacer.

I cut off the joint ball of the normal destroyer arm, and then i fixated a magnet to the arm using green-stuff. Not the nicest method but it will look better once painted. I attached the gun to the arm at a later date.

And you are done. Of course you can magnetise the flying base in the same manner, but at the moment this is not giving me any problems. If you are going to do this as well remember “polarity” Make sure the magnets are facing the correct way. I marked one of the rods, and i used it to make sure all magnets were facing the correct way, without using the magnets that were freshly glued to a model!  In the process my Dreadnought got magnetized as well. He has got some weird weapon options now!

The folding lines i scoured with a knife. and then i folded the obelisk together. It seemed my cuts in the plastic where to deep. The plastic card broke in the lines, and i still had several loose parts. When gluing it together it became a bit messy. A little filing and greensuff should be able to correct most holes. 

Now for the basing of the model. This was relative easy. just a little superglue and some sand. I added a loose scarab to guard the obelisk. You can also see my other two smaller objectives. A Necron warrior slumped against a wall, and a lamp post with a pile of skulls. (not too visible in this picture).

The next step is basecoating.

Now for the real painting. I dry brushed the base with a custom color Grey. The obelisk was painted a dark color green, and the edges i highlighted with jade green. I added some transfers from the Necron transfer sheet, and i was done. The other objectives where a little more work due to the different colors i used. (pictures of the finished objectives will follow shortly .
