WD RETRO: Land Raider How It Works Poster

20161129-LandRaider-Schematic-253Don’t miss two of the most iconic inserts ever included in the White Dwarf Magazine, the Land Raider and Predator Poster how it works posters.

This poster, now old enough to graduate high school, kicked off Games Workshop’s push to prove they made the best models in the world. This is really cool poster that shows you all the inner workings of a Land Raider. This poster also corresponded to the kit itself for the most part; like the engine, bolter rack, and seats A lot of the stuff highlighted in this poster is on the model itself.

At the bottom of the poster it lists out 101 different parts which is pretty wild. And of course, they show you other Land Raiders painted up in different Chapter colors.

This is really just an iconic poster that I’m sure is living in many a hobby beats labs.

The Predator version of this poster came out in 2002, and to my knowledge, it was the last one they’ve done for the Marines.

I’ve done a guide on how to convert a Rhino to have all the interior parts as well. There is potential for Rhino add-ons from 3rd party manufacturers, that would make the model just as cool as this, but sadly to date none have been produced.

It would be great to have all these interior bits added to the Rhino kit (or even a Chimera again) because I know I’d buy a kit that was this detailed.

 

This article is just scratching at the surface of the longer flashback video (cat pun intended), below.  So I recommend you hit play and enjoy the video for yourself.
