Hi again. Trying my hand at making a mechanicus list, using the WH codex. My inquisitor first day WIP has been scrapped.

i can barely convert my shoes from the floor onto my feet, so i feel bad saying anything.
that said, the Scythe is way too big, imho.

Yeah, even while making it I kept thinking that. My wife then chimed in and said "There is no such thing as to big. Don't you watch anime?" So I may leave it, I have a billion nid parts and no SM or WH parts so I'm pretty limited on where I get my bits.

The blade still look very tyranid and has at least one mouldline i can see. Also if you are making an admech army why do they have biological weapons?

Its all I have on hand at the moment sadly. Myself and a friend are working on finding bits to build a proper axe, but in the mean time I'm using some putty with the Nid Warrior blade head as I design him. After the 13th I'll be purchasing some Techmarines and Techpriests to start fluffing the whole kit better but for today all I have is the inqusitor himself.

No major strides thus far. BUT I did purchase some HQ choices. The Techmarine with Servitor retinue box for starters. Got him mostly painted, sadly I am horrible at painting. Turning this into a Decpticus Mechanicus list.

The admech is all about technology, and that scythe is very organic looking. Also, is your color scheme going to be purple and green? The admech are pretty much always depicted as red and grey/white.

Yeah I've noticed that. I've decided to go with my #1 geek love Transformers with the color scheme. Hence the Decpticus Mechanicus. I'm working on fluff for the army. Long story short the list is part of a ADMECH force that got lost in the warp on its way to create a new forge world and encountered a new machine god going by the name Unicron.

Might end up more suited as Gene Stealer cult.
(organic designs + color )

One thing that might help your painting is to thin your paints before you apply them to your mini. If you are already thining them, thin them some more. To me it looks like some of the details are getting lost during the painting.

Thats my suggestion. Keep it up, sounds like you have an interesting idea going on.
