They look good- I especially like the blues on the weapons.
Try throwing a wash of either Nuln Oil (for a cleaner look, add back the metal color as a highlight, being careful to not get it in the recesses) or Agrax Earthshade for a rusty, deserty look. I think it'd add a good layer to them.

What I'm currently doing is washing all metal with Nuln Oil, then highlighting with Runefang Steel. Are the highlights too difficult to see?
Looks good except the red coats, it need some depth, may I suggest starting with dark flesh/ terra cotta, and the dark red, and work your way up to the red that you have.
for the finished one, maybe a wash of agrarian earth shade, then a red wash, once dry highlight the folds a bit.
For the red to add depth hit it with a (I'm using gw names because I only have gw for these specific items) thinned carrosburgh crimson wash then several coats of bloodletter glaze. Should really accentuate the folds & creases & give you that depth.

I will do that soon. I do not have those paints and will not be able to get them for a while.
I have added more shading to the robes, and will be able to post new pics soon.
You are smashing these out at a rate of knots Verv, well done. Any reason wht you have gone for a Ranger head on the Arquesbus Skitarii in the Vanguard unit?
What colours are you using on your Galvanic rifles?

The way I'm building them. Only 1 of each Special Weapon, so I'm building 3 kits, one with all plasma, one with all Arc, one with all Arquebus. 2 squads of Vanguard and 1 Ranger squad.
I will build each kit with 1 Arquebus Ranger and Arc and Plasma Vanguard. That way, when everything is done, I can shuffle them and be ready to game!
Basecoat black, base of Calgar Blue, first highlight of Ice Blue (Lothern Blue now) , second highlight of Ulthuan Grey.
Very sensible way of doing it. I am a bit torn on the Vanguard and Rangers, I like the look of the Rangers better but the Vanguard are just far more effective in game terms.
Right then. So I have nothing new to paint this weekend, sadly, but I suppose it's a good time to outline my plans for this blog.
I aim to paint, to the best of my abilities, every single possible AdMech model. I do I have a list I'm building to, which follows. Of course, unforseen Cult Mech stuff may pop up, in which case I'll add it to the list!
This will take a very long time. Due to the fact that I can't get steady wages, I am expecting one new unit every 3 weeks, at best, unless I get unload some of my unused models or miraculously get decent work.
To make up for the slow progress, I'll be posting little short stories, or prayers to the Omnissiah every weekend, so if you like reading about religious cyborgs inbetween looking at painted models, go ahead!

Thanks.
The short story for this weekend! Rehosting from my Dakka Fiction thread to here!
Spoiler:
From the weakness of the mind, Omnissiah save us... The latest subject was strapped to the surgical slab before the robed Tech-Priest, the ancient machines that would turn this mere human into a superhuman laid out on a large, reinforced table next to the slab. The subject was covered in faint marks, invisible to a mere human eye, but to the Tech-Priest, it was blatant as sunlight. Instructions on where to cut, benedictions, and identifying marks. Satisfied that all of the information was correct, the Tech-Priest extended a whirring saw, and sliced open the top of the subject's head, exposing the brain. A small mechandendrite extended from the apparatus suspended over the slab, cutting though the emotional center of the brain and paralyzing the centers that allowed for rebellious thought. The entire emotional center was lifted clear, and the arm retracted. The Priest lifted one of the cold machines on the table, and manipulated it until it began to spit out a clear fiber. Another mechandendrite carefully moved the neural weaver into position, laying a fine network of artificial nerves that immediately fused with the biological brain tissue. Next, the Priest picked up a series of circular metal devices, and plugged them into the thin neural weave. With a small soldering iron, he fused the neural plugs with the weave.
From the lies of the Antipath, circuit perserve us... Working quickly, he picked up a small chip, and plugged it into the largest neural plug. He laid it into the hole created by the removal of the Amygdala. A green light appeared on a status indicator. Several more of these devices were procured, each of different sizes and colors, and plugged into the neural plugs that studded the subject's remaining brain. When all of the plugs were filled, the appendages of the Tech-Priest retracted. They came back down a second later. Two bonesaws unceremoniously amputated both legs below the knee. In the hollow where the kneecaps once were, the Priest implanted two more, larger plugs. He screwed small cylinders into the side of the plugs and whispered a prayer. They lit up green.
From the rage of the Beast, iron protect us... Two gleaming brass and steel legs easily slotted into the knee-plugs, their sculpted brass kneecaps obscuring the mechanical horror that lay beneath. The Priest experimentally stimulated the brain of the subject remotely, and the legs moved, as if swimming in air.
The chest was opened by another silver saw, and the lungs removed. They were replaced by a single, complicated-looking apparatus with pipes that connected to the esophagus and to the subject's back. A metal plate was welded in place over the ribs to protect the vital organs. Another tube was extended from the stomach to the rear of the upper espohagus, creating a capped hole in the back of the neck. Satisfied, the Priest extended yet another mechandendrite, and fused the ribs and skin back together, sealing the chest.
From the temptations of the Fleshlord, silica cleanse us... The Priest moved his attentions downward. The genitals were removed with a swish of scalpel, and replaced with an atmospheric sampling array. Moving upward again, the eyelids were also excised with the shining scalpel, and goggle-like augmetics fused to the face in their place. The Priest removed the tear-glands with a miniscule mechandendrite, and the darting apparatus above implanted two tanks filled with holy unguents and oils instead. With a quiet gurgling sound, the goggles filled up. An almost inaudible moan escaped from the subject on the table. The apparatus above picked up a curved metal plate, carefully aligned with with the missing upper skull, and fused it to the bone. A tiny antenna extended from a hole in the side.
From the ravages of the Destroyer, anima shield us... The Priest began to chant in both Lingua-Technis and High Gothic, sprinkling holy oils over the new outer augmetics and armor-plugs.
"What was flesh is now made one with the Omnissiah. Mortal being, tested by the Machine-God, becoming new again, is becoming one with the Holy Machine. May the Omnissiah process your data, and the galaxy tremble before your metallic footfalls."
Machine God set us free... With a mental push, the chains on the slab lifted, and the subject awoken by a shot of adrenaline, ready to walk off to the chambers where he would be equipped and armored. The Tech-Priest raised a dataslate, and quickly typed the new Skitarius' designation.
I'm hoping to get my last boxes of skitarii tomorrow. Should bring me up to 3 boxes of the rangers/vanguard and 4 boxes of infiltrators/rust stalkers. At that point, nothing left to do but start painting like a madman.
Little bit of WIP Entirely Imperial Technology, no heresy here! A little Ta- Modified Servitor Drone that follows my soon-to-be-purchased Tech-Priest-Dominus around.
I really don't like the "infinite power" part of their fluff. It's absolutely idiotic that the other variant, a heavy weapons platform, can never stop moving.
I do like their rules, however.
I've also decided to make my bases more interesting via drybrushing them with Kindleflame.
Personally I found lining up the wires to the legs a bit of a PITA but apart from that the ironstrider is not a bad kit.
Great progress on the army already Verv, you are really painting your ad mech up quickly and to a great standard. It will be great to see how your Ironstrider turns out.

Thanks! I should have it done soon. Currently applying decals to the finished armor plates.
Let me know the next time you're going to buy one and I'll bring in my pin vice(with the appropriate sized bit) and a length of brass rod for you to use.
I'm going to have a WHFB game on the 30th so if you're planning on getting another Onager by then, I can help you do that before the game.

Ok! I should be in that day, and I'll definitely inform you.
Tomorrow I hope (I am very unlucky when it comes to... well... luck) I can get a game in with AdMech. I will be picking up the last unit I need to finish up my Battle Maniple formation, which is Rangers.
Finally, I'll have a squad for my lone arquebus ranger!
I played a 900 point Puretarii list against a friend's Khorne CSM. On the first turn his Sorceror turned into a DP!
By turn 3 I had wiped out everything but a squad of Chaos Terminators and a Daemon Prince. The Terminators, escorted by the DP steamrolled the following.
•A low-strength squad of Ruststalkers
•Full squad of Rangers
•A Sydonian Dragoon
•A full-strength squad of Vanguard
The only model left on the table at the end was the DP with 2 Wounds remaining!
Pic of beginning of fight. My camera failed halfway through.
Rangers...
I haven't had access to my painting gear for a while, but now I have some pictures!
During my "break" from painting, I was reading LordLucan's excellent fanfic "The Age of Dusk", and finished up the Outsider's song, for my own purposes

1. Paint entire base Doombull Brown.
2. Paint some splotches of Calgar Blue.
3. Paint center of splotches Ice Blue.
4. Coat top of base in PVA glue.
5. Paint a thick layer of Martian Ironearth over the whole top of the base.
6. Drybrush top of base with Kindleflame.
Well, everything is done, it looks like! All I need to pick up now is another squad of Vanguard, and then I can start the Cult Mech section of the force. Looking to have a full War Convocation.
I will be dropping into my FLGS this Sunday to hopefully get a game in using the Battle Maniple formation, or maybe ally with someone to play a larger game. If the game is reasonably good-looking, I'll be sure to write up a report!
I played a game against the manager's Khorne Daemonkin. Needless to stay, I got godstomped. I managed to kill a Rhino, his Bikelord, a squad of Terminators, his Termielord, and take 8 HP and 5 wounds off a Bloodthirster and a Lord of Skulls.
My Onager alone took 7 HP off of the LoS, with only 2 shots of it's Neutron Laser!
He killed 3 squads of Pathfinders, a squad of Fire Warriors, my Sydonian Dragoon, my Vanguard, my Infiltrators, and both Crisis Teams.
Gitsplitta wrote: He had a bloodthirst *and* a LoS?? Wow. that seems a bit overmuch given what you were fighting with...
The person in question was playing Khorne Daemonkin, which means that he can either summon a Bloodthirster via Blood Tithe points or if V killed a certain character(the Bikelord) that he likes to field--a Bloodthirster pops out.
Yep. I said yes to the LoS, and don't regret it at all. I've always wanted to fight one! If only my meltasuit bomb hadn't whiffed...
My main mistake was completely failing at fire concentration. I attempted to kill everything on the board at once rather than focus fire, and lost all of my Haywire turn one due to poor deployment. However, any game against him is a learning experience, and he's always happy to help!
And now for something only mildly related to AdMech!
I am making good headway on my attempt to obtain at least one of each type of Tau Battlesuit. Pictured is a Riptide, Enforcer Crisis, Crisis, XV15, and XV25. Next up is a Broadside!
The actual bore is most likely much smaller. The huge dish at the front is probably just something to capture the bolt shell's rocket exhaust until it is far enough away to not harm the firer.

I was looking at the hollow part, not the end part
"For Holy Knowledge, I fight forever.
For digital immortality, I march forever.
For the Machine God, I toil forever.
For my service, I will be remembered forever."
Thraxas Of Turai wrote: That is one nice little army you have painted up there, and so quickly after the Ad Mech were released. Great to see, any other planned units?
I want to paint at least one of every unit in both Codexes and at least 2 Knights. I'm really looking forward to what I can do with the House Raven scheme!
Great stuff man, cracking AdM force you've put together. I need to get a shift on with mine. Only managed to paint my Syd Dragoon thus far lol. DEF wanting to pick up a crab soon. New AdM stuff is lush
I have figured out (I think) a way to replicate the GW scheme on the Kastelan robots. Could someone tell me whether this will work or not?
1. Prime black, highlight and add hazard markings. Maybe color some plates with hazard stripes.
2. Prime a thin layer of red.
3. Use wire brush to chip away some primer.
4. Highlight and finish detailing model.
The complexity of painting Skitarii is one thing that puts me off of collecting them. However, when properly done, they are AWESOME looking, and you've done that!
Kanluwen wrote: Verv, why didn't you just use the transfers that come in the Skitarii boxes?
They don't match the GW scheme, there aren't enough of them, and they are absolutely terrible to apply. (Rest assured, I tested it)
Sounds exactly like my reasons for painting Space Marine shoulder pads by hand (although the space marine decals do match GW's scheme ). I tried the decals, but couldn't get them to stay on the complex curves. I only use decals for flat surfaces now (like vehicles).
From now on, all pictures will be hosted on the Dakka Gallery.
Also, I have a Nice Thing(tm) arriving in the mail today. I'll get some pictures of it when it arrives.
All warlord jokes aside, that mofo looks epic! It almost looks like one of the more admechy ones from FW that are FW priced but absolutely perfect for an admech army. You know what I'm talking about right? Or am I really that crazy
Thanks! Sadly when I put the breastplate on, it'll look a bit less mechanical, but I believe it will be worth having "Verviedi" on the model, just for the knowing glare from some of my opponents!
Verviedi wrote: I did not actually incorporate any Forgeworld bits into the design. The new Knight Warden kit comes with lots of awesome AdMech extras!
If same price as the other Knights, that is a deal
Sisters have a tendency to interfere with plans. I quite like the non-faceplate look so that is a good choice.
Finally did you have any issues with the Ad Mech symbol transfer on the shoulder paldron? It took me an age to get mine anywhere near flat, it was an epic pain.
Looking very good. I don't usually like Knights, but this one is classy.
The answer to flat decals is very very sharp scalpels and making tiny incisions. Also various mediums and glosses and blah blah it's more pain than it's worth.
I finally got a game in! Maelstrom of War, Tactical Escalation. I won 13-1. Great game, but I wish my rolling had been a bit worse!
Some pretty cool stuff happened, like a single thrown Krak Grenade taking down a Sydonian Dragoon, and my Ruststalkers taking down two Leman Russes!
Most effective pointswise was the Ruststalkers, as they killed two Leman Russes in close combat. My Skitarii Vanguard and Breachers won me the game, though, as they sat on objectives I constantly pulled cards for. At one point in the game I actually scored Domination!
For sheer amount of kills, my Knight neutralized the effectiveness of a Chimera the whole game, wiped a CSM squad, wiped a heavy weapons squad, and almost killed a Vanquisher.
This game was a pleasure to play, and my opponent was nice throughout the game! I can't wait to see his army painted!
And please don't deride unpainted models, I don't want to have to crawl through a terrifyingly thorny bush again to retrieve my blast templates.
Even if I was the idiot who used them as a frisbee...
Derp derp. I just realised that song came out in maybe 2009... No wonder there's a cultural reference that went off-pitch.
No, it's a sanitised version of an oooold meme about this very sweet, very silly song from Insane Clown Posse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-agl0pOQfs (SFW visually but has swearing) They have a reputation for being an extremely bloodthirsty shock rap duo, so having a song that involved Pelicans stealing cell-phones and magnet-based curiosity garnered both confusion, and people assuming they were acutely stupid. Personally I find it good fun, and I think that's the spirit it was intended.
I just played a game against two very experienced Xenos players, and got utterly stomped. It came down to my Dominus, Ranger Alpha, and Ruststalkers being the last of my army on the board. They all charged the closest units to them. The Ranger charged a Battlesuit, and did nothing. The Dominus charged 5 Trueborn, and killed 3. The Ruststalkers charged 10 Fire Warriors, killed 2, and promply DIED!
Stupid ninja Tau...
Thraxas, yes, actually. It had a unit of Skitarii Vanguard in it, and I Dukes of Hazzard-ed it through a tiny gap so I could Haywire the Knight!
Some photos of the two games I played today. I won the first and lost the second.
First-
Second-
So I just played a game in Bizzaro World. My Electro-Priests got Slay The Warlord on a Jetseer in CC, and wiped a unit of Dire Avengers. It was a great game, which I won 14-13.
The measure of a true good game, is that both you and your opponent have barely anything left on the board!
Due to finally being somewhat awake and aware, here's a basic account of what happened in that game, in staggered batrep format. More updates to come.
Pregame-
Spoiler:
Warlord Traits: Me- Princeps of Deceit
Opponent- Conqueror of Cities
Mission Setup: Mission- Cloak and Shadows (Maelstrom of War)
I deployed and went second. Night fighting was on.
Turn 1-
Spoiler:
Opponent's Turn-
He moved up two squads of Dire Avengers onto objectives in a crater and a forest. The squad of Avengers in the middle of the board moved into LOS of my Infiltrators and shot them, doing nothing. The Wave Serpent went towards my Knight on the field's left flank, and some Howling Banshees ran onto objective 1. The Farseer fortuned the Avatar.
The Dark Reapers fired Starshot missiles at my Onager, killing it before it could shoot.
He scored Supremacy (3 Points!!), First Blood, Big Game Hunter, and one other card.
My Turn-
I moved everything up, except my Rangers, which I left on Objective 3. I popped Omniscience for rerolls. My Destroyers pulped the Avatar, and my Breachers took the Wave Serpent down. My Sicarian infiltrators shot at the central DAs, the Knight killed every Fire Dragon except the Exarch (This will be important later), and killed a Dark Reaper. I scored no points.
Opponent's Turn-
Basically everything sat still, except for the Shining Spears and Banshees, which moved into the right-hand flank of the board, near my Electro-Priests and Infiltrators, and onto the central objective, respectively. The Fire Dragon exarch moved around the crashed wave serpent, fired his Firepike at my Kataphron Destroyers...
And INSTAGIBBED my Tech-Priest Dominus! Cue my expression of shock and crazed laughter.
The Dark Reapers fired Starshot missiles at my Knight, dealing 2HP damage to it.
My Turn-
My Knight shot at the squad of Dire Avengers in front of it. The blast scattered back into my Ruststalkers, killing both two Ruststalkers and one Dire Avenger. The Stalkers threw a grenade at the Avengers, doing nothing. My unit of Skitarii Vanguard on the far right flank shot at some Warp Spiders camping on an objective, triggering flickerjump and doing nothing. My Electro-Priests shot at the right-field Dire Avengers, killing two(?), but failed the charge.
Note: This is the point where my memory gets fuzzy. My killcounts may not be entirely accurate.
Opponent's Turn-
The Dark Reapers and Crimson Hunter shot at my Knight, taking it down to 2HP. The right-hand Dire Avengers took half a wound off of a Ruststalker, the center Dire Avengers accomplished nothing, and some Striking Scorpions charged my two Sydonian Dragoons. One of the Dragoons died, at the cost of a Scorpion. This combat will last for the rest of the game, with the walkers eventually winning with 3 Scorpion kills, so I will not mention it again.
The Howling Banshees charged my Breachers, killing two. T5 is useful.
My Turn-
My Knight moved up within 2in of the Crimson Hunter, and killed it with a burst of it's Avenger Gatling Cannon. (I rolled 6 6sto hit), and killed one Dark Reaper with some weapon or another. My Infiltrators charged the center Dire Avengers and killed them. The Electro-Priests charged some jetbikes, and killed them.
Saying "feth It", I charged my Destroyers into the Banshees, losing a Breacher and killing two Banshees. My Skitarii Vanguards killed a few more Warp Spiders, and moved towards the left-hand objective. My Ruststalkers forgot to charge the right-hand Dire Avengers.
Nice War Convocation Verv! I've always thought it would be cool to have a fully painted army (even if only tabletop standard) and display it on a nice board like that at a tournament. Someone who can not only do that but have a show-quality army is worthy of anyone's respect!
Police officer: Sir, what is that thing on your roof? Me: It is my Knight. I'm taking him for a drive-by. By the way, do you have any invulnerable save? Police: Invul-WHAT? Me: Okay. You just suffered 25 unsaved wounds S10 AP1. Please remove yourself from my window.
I saw some absolutely gorgeous displays at AoP! There was a beautiul AoS Order diorama of Empire and Stormcast fighting Tzeentch, and an old-school diorama of an Elven parade!
Someone brought a real life Thunderhawk and some other FWSW stuff. All in all it was a blast!
10/10 would go again
Deployment-
Mission- Purge The Alien
Opponent Warlord Trait - Split Fire
My Warlord Trait - Strategic Genius
My opponents went first, I failed to seize the initative.
Turn 1-
Opponent's Turn
The Farseer cast Guide and Fortune on his own unit of Dark Reapers, which killed a Ranger with their guns. The Fire Prism took one wound off of the Dominus. The Librarian cast Shrouding.
My Turn
I popped Shroudpslam and the +2 BS Imperative.
My Grav Kataphrons moved to get a line of sight on the Dreadknight, and almost everything moved forward. My Infiltrators moved towards the Centurions, killing one. Combined fire from my Breachers and Knight dropped the Wave Serpent, and the fusillade of grav fire from my Kataphrons killed the Dreadknight. I also killed three Dark Reapers with my Transuranic Arquebi.
Turn 2-
Opponent's Turn
The Crimson Hunter arrived on the table, taking a hull point off the Knight. The Librarian casted Hallucination on the Infiltrators, pinning them. The Fire Prism fired and immobilized the Onager. Combined fire from the Devastators, Centurions, and Warp Spiders kill two Infiltrators and wounded one more.
My Turn
I popped Omniscience (reroll to hit)
The Infiltrators got unpinned and fired at the Grav cents, doing a wound to one. The Grav Kataphrons, Arc Rifle Vanguard, and the Knight's gatling gun fired at the Crimson Hunter, causing it to come crashing down.
Turn 3-
Opponent's Turn
The Drop Pod carrying the Dreadnought arrived. The Fire Prism strafed around the central bunker and shot the Onager Dunecrawler, taking another HP off. The Warp Spiders jumped forward, combined fire from them and the Fire Dragons dropping the Infiltrators. The Dreadnought fired its heavy flamers, killing all but one Ranger. The Dark Reapers shot the Sydonian Dragoons, killing them both.
My Turn
The Arc Vanguard exploded the Drop Pod (which killed an Electro-Priest and two Electro-Priests. The Dominus' ERAD Beamer did a hull point to the Dread. The Onager fired it's Neutron laser, scattered behind a building, and TKed the last Ranger. The Knight killed two Devastators, and the Ruststalkers charged the Dreadnought, doing nothing and dying horribly to Dat Overwatch.
Turn 4-
Opponent's Turn
The Dread shot it's flamers at the Grav Kataphrons, killing 3. The Fire Prism fired at the Onager again, bouncing off the shield. Then, disaster! The Fire Dragons did four HP of damage to the Dread, and the Grav Cents finished it off. It went NUCLEAR, killing one Breacher. The Dread then charged the Grav Squad, but was immobilized by Overwatch.
My Turn-
Something killed every Warp Spider but the Exarch. (Not sure what, I'm pretty sure they dangerous terrained to death. All I know is that the Breachers killed 2 on a previous turn.) My Grav Kataphrons wiped out the Devastators, and the Breachers shot the Fire Dragons, but failed the charge. The Arc Vanguard dropped the Dreadnought, and the Onager Dunecrawler fired its Neutron Laser, wiping out the Dark Reapers.
Turn 5-
Opponent's Turn
The Grav Cents fired and wiped out the Breachers. The one last lonely Fire Dragon begin fleeing to its board edge, and the Fire Prism shot the Onager Dunecrawler again, failing to do anything. Like a ghost in the night, the lone Warp Spider Exarch teleported behind the Dunecrawler and wrecked it.
My Turn
The Grav Kataphrons killed the Grav Cents, and... nothing else happened that I can recall.
End Score
Mechanicus 11, Eldar and Space Marines 8.
Notes:
I really want to play a game without the Convocation. I am sensing that its sheer power level is hurting my ability to "get good" with AdMech. I will have to kick away that crutch. This was a beautifully fun game, and I would absolutely do it again.
Yep, all of my custom assassins will use the rules of the model they're supposed to represent!
EDIT: I just noticed that I accidentally got a little pink paint on one of the breathing hoses. I'll replace the images later.
Really really nice reinterpretation of the different classes of assassins from an admech take. Great work. They are all very recognisable for which house/college of the officio assassinorum they come from. Great work
What's that? Verviedi is painting AdMech again?!
I was hired to paint someone's Metallica force. Fun times ahead. This is the very first WIP, nearly done basecoating.
Thanks all. Here's the Tech-Priest Dominus. By the time I'm done with this project, I'll be out of white paint.
I must say it kind of reminds me of the depiction of Krampus from the movie. The hunched, massive figure and the hood.
Due to my failure to properly make a Tau display board, I'll be bringing the AdMech to Armies on Parade this weekend. Should also be collecting more things to paint, so stay tuned for those.
Also painting some Tyranids for someone else. Here's my first ever attempt at a blood effect.
The eye has been repaired and repainted since I took this photo.
Always true.
Derp derp. I just realised that song came out in maybe 2009...
