The Razorback: Sword of Wrath





The Rarorback, which also doubles as a Rhino, is ready to go.  My Dark Angels will finally not have to trudge across the battlefield on foot, but instead will be able to get around in style, inside Sword of Wrath's armoured hull.

The model was undecorated with Army Painter's excellent Angel Green undercoat, then painted with classic techniques including dry-brushing and blending. I also tried the new GW dark brown wash for the first time and was quite pleased with the results. It worked very well on the bone coloured scroll, the driver's face and the white angel ornament. For the text, the micron pen proved invaluable. If you like to do scroll work or writing, a 0.5mm pen is a must.

Up next, the 3rd company gets some needed air support!
