Awesome...pure awesome!

Keep up the great work!

Loving this army!

Can't wait to see some more.

I think you need to make the completed shots into an
Army Profile.

But that's just me.

edit: My favorite part about army profiles hosted on Dakka? Work doesn't
block them like they do imageshack and photobucket.

'Fraid so. I went halves with a mate who's using the pistols etc for his genestealer cult, and defrayed the autoguns by selling on the excess special weapons and vox-bodies. It worked out to £2.00 for ten (+p&p) with some careful trading.

However, were I to do it again, I probably would simply buy the cool weapons packs from Hasslefree – great prices and service, and the guns fit right in. They even do Aliens-style pulse rifles.

As regards an army profile, I'm going to do one of those just as I finish 'em up for Dark Stars. My mate Graham's a keen photographer, and he'll do a much better job of shooting 'em than me.

If you'd like to read some background and follow the development of the army, please feel free to look at my log here:

There's a heck of a lot of background that'd be too time-consuming to repost here, but I'll try and work the good bits into the Dakka army profile when I come to make it.

+++Edit+++ Well, lookit that: I just got promoted to being a Sagitarius with a big f'in gun. Awesome!

Wait, there's no 'F' in gun...

Centurion Assault Engine]
Skitarii Assault Engines are heavily-armoured walking vehicles that mount some of the more unusual weaponry available to the Adeptus Mechanicus. The Centurion variant is equipped with a slaved multi-melta, but its primary armament is the conversion beamer, a broad-beam weapon that uses a wave-form emitter to rapidly convert energy to matter and vice versa.


Originally developed to harvest seams of ores and minerals, the rapid cycling of the military version quickly results in explosive results on anything in its area of effect. Short-ranged but extremely powerful, the conversion beamer is more effective the better-armoured the target, making it extremely useful against vehicles and heavily-armoured infantry.


Assault Engines are fairly rare on Braun, but their great versatility and fearsome reputation means that they are deployed where possible.

F'in cool Saint

Nice fluffy bit on the conversion beamer, and props on combining GW, FW and AT-43

What are you going to use the Centurion Assault Engine as in your army?

Praise the Machine God what a nice construct.

great work

Archmagos Veneratus (basically a ten-thousand year old magos in a battlesuit of unique design):













...and a scale picture:

The pigtailed girl with gasmask is just too funny. Really nice job on the Centurian Assault Engine. Very similar to what I was planning, but your result looks much better than my initial mock-up.

Unique design is right! Another impressive cross-company kit bash from you Saint, I can dig it. Nice turning the khador exhaust stack to the front, I can smell the OSL power glow from here

Personally I don't really like the girl on there, messes with the theme / dark future of the piece. She provides scale and is nifty in herself, but the school girl outfit and pigtails makes he a no-go for me.

And fluff ... 10,000 year old? Is that the dude holding the data-slate? I'd shoot for a little less than 10k, I don't think he'd a) go for a walk on the battlefield much at that point (apart from some BIG fielded battle engines) and b) be that recognizably human

When 10,000 years old you reach, look so good you will not. [/yoda]


The Archmagos himself is indeed far too old to be doing anything so run-of-the-mill as actually fighting – he's in the holding tank at the back of the beast:


The two on top are Magi mind-slaved by the Rite of Pure Thought to the will of the Archmagos...

Fear ye not; once I've got some greenstuff on the model, she'll fit in a lot more.

*smacks forehead*

Duh! The ancient design of the tank / battle engine definitely threw me off that one

On the girl, very well then, I'll hold off until we see some GS

Always wanted to make an army like this what rules/codex are you following?
