I wish you hadn't put purity seals all over it. Kinda limits its use to 40k only.

Ugh +1 on the purity seals comment. I was already looking at this for something else and noticed them. :/

It's a nice-looking design but I'm also going to nitpick: it doesn't look like it's capable of standing on its own without a convenient rock to support the left foot. If either the right foot was closer to being under its center of gravity or the left leg was flat on the ground like the right leg, it would be a more practical pose.

Did Fulgrim Just Behead Ferrus?

Clicking on the link to see it in the store, it comes with a base that has that "convenient rock" built into it. However, I would have preferred the model to be constructed to have a bit more posing options, as it appears to be "locked" into that single pose.
Had the price been slightly lower and if there were a few more options in its appearance, I could see myself buying quite a few to expand my Mechanicum army. Still a very nice looking model, though, but just a bit too limited.

Yeah, I was looking at one as a companion to some of the Corsairs from Bones 3 (up on KS right now). The purity seals are a deal breaker.. only wanted one though so the pose didn't bother me too much. Price tag is a bit on the hefty side too :/

Kool, original design. Decent price, considering.
But as you see, Dakka is never satisfied.
It'll happen eventually, so I'll go ahead and get it out of the way.
Omg. Why isn't it plastic? Duh.

Wow this looks really awesome, is this guy Kastellan robot sized or Thanatar sized?
Edit-
Just looked at the price jesus christ if these are kastellan stand ins they are hella expensive. Just about $100 for two.

It's a pretty valid point. It's a sweet design, I'd love to have one for my army / get one to use the parts and heavily convert.
Problem is I don't play Imperials, so having it bedecked in purity seals.. Well, really limits my usefulness for it. Sure I could scrape them off, but I'd lose a not insubstantial amount of detail in doing so.

But then they wouldn't have anything to complain about.
To the OP: I really love your work and look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

Yeah, nice design. Like it, looks way better that the castraderp bots they released for the Mechanicus last time. My only complaint is from the "sense" department. Tripple barells are made to prevent overheating from long bursts/high fire rates. Considering the size of the ammo here, you just do not have the ammount to cause overheating in the first place, so a single longer barell (accuracy, anyone?) would actuallly make more sense than the 3 short stubs there. Those are nice enough as a stand-in for a multi-melta but these don't need belt-fed ammo...

Don't mind the purity seals, don't like the open shins but that can be easily remedied with some plasticard

Really cool looking model.
Looks like a "glass cannon" with all the exposed moving bits which happens to make it look good.
Typical Mechanicus "throwaway" weapons platform.
I dub it "Mortyr" or Mort for short.
I like the multiple play on words, he looks like the enemy will hurt more than him initially.
<edit> Reminds me a bit of the Robocop Ed209's round gun arms and exposed hydraulics, the belt feeds look better to me though.
Better than the Kastelan robots and arms for sure.
BTW this comparison is not a bad thing.

Any chance we can see some side-by-side comparisons with the two mech sizes, next to a 28mm soldier like a Guardsmen or a Space Marine? Just trying to work out how they will look in person.

Ah , thanks, found it. Would like to see the 60mm version next to something we know (a 28mm human or similar) for scale.

I like it but to my eye all the pictures contain Computer graphics and not a real model, could you make a picture with some other figures for size comparison?

I backed the Indiegogo campaign for his fantasy models and can confirm the castings he sends out are good.

Looks like if you left the rock off, it wouldn't be too hard to adust the arms a little to put him in a running pose.
