My Vindicators are finished and ready for action!
These guys came together at pretty much the final hour, and I think the decals are what pushed them over the edge into a cohesive looking squadron.
In any case, this trio will soon begin terrorizing the Austin metro area as part of my forthcoming Codex:CSM 2000pt Death Guard army.
You all have been warned... :)

Outstanding. They're so clean looking (in a good way). And the decals do really put them over the top, but your works good enough that it just like icing on a cake.. The lettering on the tanks looks freakin' tight. You really have to post more pictures of the whole company, they must be a sight to behold.
Here's a tip if you want to combine them with the apocalyptic barrage, add a few more. One, two, maybe a whole linebreaker squad again (depending on the battle). Then when you lose one you can still combine the fire. Nothing like blowing some cover up.
Those are really well done... have you posted your techniques for weathering? All my vehicles look like they just rolled off the manufactorum showroom floor and I'm trying to change that.

yes he posted that under his 'how to paint deathgaurd' tutorial.
anyways these are amazing, great job
What's your list look like? I'm working up to a 2000pt list myself, but I only plan to have one Vindicator. Three just seems so...evil :)
I'm currently tooling around with a list of:
Typhus
10 Plaguemarines
PF Champion; Rhino

*bastard* that sounds tough. the demonic possession on those vins will really cinch the tough nurgle theme. whenever you want a game I'd love to play
Beautiful, just beautiful!
Rock freakin' solid! The squadron looks wondeful, fantastic paint & decal work. May your 10" templates not scatter and all terrain fear your wrath.
And on your list: Where does Typhus go? Strike ftw, or hide somewhere and build a demon escort (does he even have an ikon?)?

Thanks guys,
Typhus may end up going back on the shelf actually. I can build out a mobile Nurgle biker-lord for 40pts less, so that will give me some options to expand the list still further. Go T6(4) Nurgle lord!
The biker lord is a much more sound choice for the list, me thinks. And I'm interested in hearing how the T6 biker of nurgly doom actually does on the table. What specific build you thinking?

How did these nasties fair against the wall?

Kings,
All 3 survived, and took down a section of the Palace walls!
They also blew a forward loyalist bunker to smithereens, allowing its unfortunate Dark Angel occupants to get charged by a swarm of Plague Marines, and wiped out a Salamander quad las-cannon dev squad who thought they were safe holed up in a tower.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with their performance.
Vindicators FTW!
Its kinda amazing that a model conversion that started out with rhino mk.1 kits and cardboard toilet rolls has, about 17 years later, turned into these.
According to the listing in the Space Marine & Black Templars books, Vindicators have a Demolisher Cannon and a Storm Bolter...but I don't think I've ever seen the Storm Bolter on the model. I know you can add a Pintle Mounted Storm Bolter, but isn't that different? Where is the "default" Storm Bolter on a Vindicator?
on all the vins i've seen, the included SB is represented by a pintle-mounted one. i wonder what a coaxial one would look like - seems like it would be a moderately easy conversion. wouldn't make much sense but hell
