right, my Dark Heresy GM came up with a cool concept for a story line, and is inspired me to make some mockup miniatures over this weekend.

basically the concept is a tinkerer in a little known imperial industry world starts to create servitors for manual labour i.e factory work, heavy lifting and such. the speed and skill of which he creates such contraptions comes under scrutiny from the local authorities, so he flees the town to live a life of solitude with his creations. it isn't long before the dark gods attentions are drawn to his skills, and they try to entice him into a deal with which he could improve his creations. of course the inventor agrees, and the chaos gods soon warp his mutations into amalgamations of fleshy sinews and mechanical parts.
The dark gods only stipulation is that the inventor joins the cause against the false emperor and creates a 5 metre tall fusion of daemonic flesh and impenetrable steel that, along with the newly tainted servitors when called upon will fight for the chaos powers.

thats as much as i can remember, or the basic gist anyway. i think thats a damn cool concept, albeit similar to the theatre of chaos idea. but i'm gonna make some expanded fluff for them, nonetheless, and i think it would make a nice adventure for DH, and maybe an idea for an army, although i am not 100% sure which codex i would use for it.

i thought using the machines as horrors, and a herald of tzeench to represent the tinkerer. and finally a daemon prince to represent the machine that chaos built

suggestions please?

also, i'm gonna post some pics of the mockups tomorrow morning, so opinions on those when they appear?

*edited for clarity*

as promised, well slightly earlier tbh, some pics of the actual mini's. i quite like then, theyre a bit disturbing in a Manga/Anime kinda way. the colour scheme and the style of painting reflects this. what would people think of an army of such?
also as you can see in the captions for the pics, i need a name for the "robot-ish blokes"

anyway, the first few mini's for the DH campaign

Those look absolutely sweet

They look fantastic.
Love the weapon built into the hand.

You filed the front of the head off?
Where are the arms from?

Those arms look like arms from tzeench horrors

these are great!
the use of the filed down necron head is great, ill have to make me some of these!

the arms are in fact from a combination of the tzeench horrors, warhammer zombies, and VC's ghouls

oh, sorry, i was also meant to thank everyone for their kind words to do with my mockups, and to say that there will be new pics and actual real fluff written by me soon...

ptsh, dom. just wait til you post something
