If you upload your images to the dakka gallery, people can vote on them (dakka also gives you to code to include the images directly into the thread too, rather than people having to click on the links).

Also means that anyone who can get on dakka at work can see your work - my work filters block out photobucket :(

I like the jump packs, too. The "wings" look a bit blocky though.

Also, you can post the pics directly into the thread by copy/pasting the code under the photo in the gallery... I'm not the best at giving directions all the time, let me try an example:



Also read as:

You can copy and paste the field under the pic (in the gallery) labeled "Share This Image; Forum"

Other's should be able to say it (rather, type it) more succinctly.

I really like the Mechanicus forces, so I'll be watching with interest. Especially your conversions, those jump packs are very promising!

Good to hear mate.

My AdMech army is in bits right now but will be for display, not for gaming.

I have 10 MicroArts Iron Brotherhood to represent Skitarii; some converted servitors for the larger Biosoldiers (cant remember the term) and some FW/GW bits and pieces which will become the Tech Adepts and Magos.

I too have the Steampunk wings for my Magos, however, they cant to me completely by chance in a bits trade.

At present Im working on a schematic for an Ordinatus Minoris... based upon the Epic version and scaled up its gonna be the size of a gaming table... roughly 4" x 6"

At present also working out what materials would achieve the best result and be cost effective. Im thinking of using a foam cutter for the main body, then attaching details; guns; track units onto this...

I am using 2 old leman russes as wrecks to place onto bases for the stalk tanks to be crawling over, stalk tanks will have a variety of possible weapons, I'm mulling over if they should have sensing "tendrils" made from the defiler close combat arm or not. This will be counts as: various medium IG vehicles, hydra's and such, depending on which turret is attached.

Some of the parts and more misc bits are going into mechanicus knight titans, which will be counts as: leman russes

Also making extra land raider sized bases for the titans for when I am using the red knights of mars.

Its a plasma gun

My plan with the stalk tanks cannon is, either add more wires so its more energy based looking, or add a mechanical arm that can dig shells out of a can between the legs on the side,

Correct
I talked with the owner of ramshackle a few times trying to sort out what I actually wanted.
Im actually pretty impressed, the resin models need some cleanup but are alot higher quality than I intiially expected, the larger things like the rumblers have rough edges but nothing huge.
the "mini tanks" or whatever they are, need some minor cleanup and aren't quite symetrical, but are otherwise great, one or two of the 12 has slightly malformed smoke stacks, nothing big or that I care about.
the "big guy" is awesome, he has a beard but i'm going to modify it to look like a gaggle of wires pouring from the skulls mouth
the hunged over servitors are equally awesome, im not sure what they will count as, but they are sweet.
I'm not sure what the servitor with keyboard guitar will count as either, probably just a standard bearer or some sort.

Mechanicus 40mm base captain nearly complete

first attempt at pre-wash highlights, turned out OK I think, missed a few spots though now that i look at the pics

need to do some details, stylize the skulls and make the "beard" look more like wires pouring from the skulls open mouth, but the basic idea is there.

Hey Grundz, nice concept and nice models. I have recently started player around with the idea of representing the Mechanicus part of a SM chapter myself. As a result I picked up some of Oyumaru/Instant Mould and took a cast of the Adeptus Mech symbol from the Manufactorium kit. Perhaps you could do something similar for you own stuff.

I look forward to the GK stuff then, I suppose you're right about the sizing issue. As i'm running SM I find they fit perfectly on to the upper doors on the rhinos or on the rear ramps. How about for your Chimera transports though the should fit across the back top doors surely?

I agree- replace the main cannon for a troop-holding area, with maybe metal rungs/ladders going off either side, similar to the mumaks from LOTR, but obviosly with a giant mechanical spider and ramps, not a giant elephant and ropes.

Not much progress, I finished the plasma turret for the plasma stalker and based it, need to upgrade the armor on its front legs so it looks a little heavier duty (though it is significantly larger due to the 6 legs)

Finished basing and creating the first quad autocannon turret for the smaller spider Having some difficulties with the magnets on this one.

Finished the other 3 termites

Going to try and build up the drive to start on the 75 or so infantry waiting to be painted this week.

Well, I suppose it's up to me to be the dissenting voice, the one that makes sense...
I like the work so far on the stalk tank, but it still seems very choas defiler, notably with the red and silver scheme hearkening to khornate blokes, or any number of defilers in the same vein. But! Still a cool concept, and my feelings on the ST-500 should change once you add the very Mechanical and very Loyal armament to it.

it does look substantially less defiler-y with the turret and side sponson "legs" attached, but yeah, if you are familiar with the defiler shape there's nothing I can do about that, I'm not that good of a modeler by any stretch of the imagination.

I just realized that Grey Knights would make a great counts as codex for mechanicus. Lots of dreads, various tanks, henchmen for the menials, lots of weird weapons and such. Lots of Psychic powers too of course, so you'd have to justify that somehow.

me too, but its mostly that the turret looks too fat.
the forgeworld leman turret does look fine, just the plasma front end makes it a little oversized for the body. It looks a /way/ too large from the camera angle since I wanted to show the painting on the hatch and such I /did/ want the dimensions of it to be a little "off"
I do need to finish the washes on the turret to get the red the same deep crimson as the body bits
here's the reverse angle:

the plan is to make a giant, 4 sponson land raider with lobster like mandibles made from defiler claws to "feed" the assault ramp
