This Space Wolves Deimos Pattern Rhino was on display at Warahmmer World.
The Rhino is the most widely used armoured personnel carrier in the Imperium. Based on ancient STC technology, the fundamental design is robust, reliable, and easy to maintain, with an adaptive power plant that can run off a wide variety of fuels.
So after the accidental reveal, yesterday we saw the official reveal of some new models for Legion Imperialis.
As well as the Rhino and Baneblade we saw yesterday, we also have the Kratos.
The Kratos is a staple of Space Marine armoured companies, and one of the heaviest tanks available to the Legions Astartes.
We also have the Solar Auxilia Banelade.
….the iconic superheavy tank hits the battlefield in detachments of up to six, with a kit that can be used to create Baneblades or Hellhammers, alongside a huge range of hull, sponson, and cupola options.
We also have the Deimos pattern Rhino.
These are nice models that have potential for conversions. In the day I did a fair few Epic 40K conversions.
Also in the photos are a couple of Arvus flyers.
We’ve seen these before in Aeronautica Imperialis.
Over on the Warhammer Community site they have previewed some exciting new terrain for Legions Imperialis.
They have also inadvertently shown us some new models for Legions Imperialis.
In the video we can see Deimos Pattern Rhino armoured vehicles.
These look like really detailed miniature models.
There’s a super heavy Solar Auxilia Baneblade tank.
Wondering what other miniatures will be released.

This is my Deimos Pattern Rhino in the desert.
Rhino getting in the way of the Typhon Heavy Siege Tank.
My other Deimos Pattern Rhino (note the two cupola bolters).

I was pleased to see one of the new Horus Heresy releases announced at Warhammer Fest was the Plastic Deimos Pattern Rhino. So when it was available for pre-order I clicked through and ordered the kit from my local FLGS.
Having finished painting them, I photographed them on my desert terrain board.
I was lucky enough to get a second Rhino for a Christmas present. This I painted in the same way as the first Rhino.

I bought the plastic Deimos Pattern Rhino when it came out in the summer, you can see the workbench for that Rhino here. I was lucky enough to get a second Rhino for a Christmas present. The model has many more parts and is a more detailed kit than the original plastic Rhino kit that came out in the 1980s. I constructed the model to the instructions, though I left the tracks off to paint separately. I gave the model an undercoat of Citadel White Scar. I gave the model a couple of light coats of Daemonic Yellow. I also painted the bolter and exhausts with Leadbelcher. I then shaded the model. For the next stage I used some Citadel Layer Yriel Yellow. I took a large brush and gave the model, what I would call, a heavy drybrush. I then did some more drybrushing. I then fixed the tracks to the Rhino.
The next stage was adding some more details to the model, namely the headlights.
For the front headlights I used Citadel Layer Dorn Yellow. For the other lights in the headlights I used Citadel Base Mephiston Red.
I then did the protective grilles with an UNI black pen, rather than use paint on them.
I now need to add some more weathering.
I then do need to add some transfers.
Here is this Rhino with my first Deimos Pattern Rhino.

The next stage was to affix the tracks to the Rhino.
With the tracks for the Rhino I gave them a spray of Mechanicus Standard Grey, this was followed by a heavy drybrush of Gorthor Brown. The tracks, once dry, had a wash of Agrax Earthshade Shade. After painting and shading them, I drybrushed them lightly, first with Leadbelcher. I then did a very light drybrush with Terminatus Stone.
The tracks were removed from the sprue and using superglue they were attached to the Rhino.
You have to be careful when attaching these, as they are specific to each side of the Rhino, but they do attach to the Rhino quite easily.

For the next stage I used some Citadel Layer Yriel Yellow. I took a large brush and gave the model, what I would call, a heavy drybrush. I put paint on the brush, and then used some kitchen towel to remove most of the paint, and then using a heavy stippling process added paint to the model.
The plan was that this would take the flat surfaces of the model back to a flatter base colour.
Some of the areas where the shade pooled will probably need some more work.

It was then onto shading the model. I am using the same process I used with my other Deimos Pattern Rhino. I used some Citadel Reikland Fleshshade Shade.
I did a heavier wash than the previous Rhino.
This did mean the Shade pooled in certain areas. I am hoping that this will be covered up when I do the deeper drybrushing next.
I also shaded the tracks, this I did with Agrax Earthshade Shade. Once this was dry I drybrushed them with some Leadbelcher.
