Genestealer Cults Looted Vindicator Rockgrinder
Very quick and dirty slap job. My girlfriend is a dirty xeno lover and seeing as my Vindicators haven't been on the table since the beginning of 8th, I decided to convert one up for her as a Goliath Rockgrinder. This project took approximately 5 hours from start to finish. I was able to get messy with my airbrush and simply painted over the previous colour scheme (exactly as the cultists would). The point was to defile this magnificent piece of Imperial engineering, mount a new turret onto it. I defaced the Aquila and chapter symbols on it. At some point, a Cultist with a spraycan and a stencil crawled all over the tank with great enthusiasm to mark the vehicle as their own (astute viewers will see that the spray on the turret is upside-down. Neophyte cultists aren't artistes.) The model was basically sprayed red, touched up in black and drybrushed liberally with Necron Compound. I also did a once-over using sponged Runefang steel for more chipping. I followed GW's guides on [graffiti](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZVcHc-7nbs) and [propaganda posters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgKlrzOJvRs) for the extra decor. Some favourite slogans of this uprising were scrawled onto the vehicle haphazardly and someone stuck a propaganda poster onto the side. 'Goliath Rockgrinder' no. 13 is now ready to serve the four-armed emperor. The model is a counts-as Goliath Rockgrinder, with appropriately large dozer blade and weaponry (I bolted a long-barreled gun to the front to serve as a heavy stubber) Only real conversion work was the extra turret, which came from a Dust Tactics Allied M3 Walker kit. It's not something I recommend, as DUST is another pricey game and buying the models for conversion purposes is out of most people's budget, but I was lucky enough to have that turret lying around.
