So this is what I've been doing. This Razorback is the only thing I have pictures of at the moment, as I'm painting multiples of them. Didn't feel that it was necessary to take pictures of the exact same thing. ;)
As you can see, I am keeping with the solid black with my vehicles. I'm also painting the details in the theme of my Crusade, using the core of reds for the maltese crosses. Then all of the chains and crusader seals will be gold. Finally, any wings that appear will be painted in a dark grey color and subsequently highlighted. However, these pictures are pre-highlights and washes. In addition, not all of the details had been painted at this time.
So here is the finished product. Just like the dreadnought, I like the look of paint chipping better than hard-edge highlights on the vehicle. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my yellow, so experimented a little bit on my headlights. It ended up being a purple, with a highlight of a blood red. As you will notice, the crusade badge is a blood drop with dots around it. However, the dots are squad identification. This will be squad #3's razorback. If there is only a single dot, then it will be squad #1. Finally, I sprayed the unit with Purity Seal to give it that dusty look.
Remember, that while I want my stuff to look nice, I cannot put in super huge amounts of detail due to the lack of time I have to paint. Only 21 days to go! :)

In other news, for some reason, I've somehow forgotten to write the Grey Knights codex review. So I'll try to get one up within the next few weeks, but remember, painting is my priority. I also have a few more BT tactical articles planned, so we'll see about getting those up as well.
I've also been working on the BT 101 guide the past few nights and the first few pages are finished to my satisfaction. If you have any comments, I'd love to hear them. The "Building Low-Point BT Armies" page isn't quite finished yet, so bare with me there. In addition, I'll be changing the list in the first "Building a 5th Edition List" page to something a little more competitive. I've not really decided which one yet, but it'll likely be either my SW/BT Fusion list or my "Templarbubble". Perhaps even the PotMS Razor spam list. I'm trying to have this first list building exercise have a close combat element to it, just like the original was. Feel free to comment on which you prefer.
Anyway, hope all is well with you guys. Thank you once more to those of you who have donated to my Nova Open fund. I very much appreciate it. I should know in the next couple days if I got my time off and I can buy my plane tickets. :D
