(Pictures will come soon)

So I am making a Adeptus Mechanicus army using the Demon Hunter ruleset and I was stumped on how to create and use a Demon Host and to make them suitably Ad Mechy.

While looking at a spare Penitent engine I had lying around the blessing of the Machine God struck me, the "driver" looks like a Ad Mech acolyte made one with the Machine spirit.

The female driver reminded me of the Mothership in Homeworld PC game where Karen Sjet was placed as the core of the massive ship and had all controls at her disposal. I wanted to confer that same impression on my Ad Mech Demon Host but as yet I don't know how.

I want to make her float (using anti grav) much like a true Demon Host does but that is proving difficult and it doesn't look right. I had experimented with attaching her to a sort of harness with mechanical arms much like Doc Oc in spiderman.

My pictures will come when I have more then a few scattered bits and Ideas floating in my head. If anyone has any suggestions or constructive criticism please post your thoughts I would appreciate it.

Check out GW's page on Witchhunter Inq Retinues here for some ideas on this - in particular, there's a floating pulpit that might work towards what you want to do.

cant wait to see pics it sounds awsome!!!

Been a long time but I got around to posting some pics.

This looks really good.

Where did you get the claw and 'arm' assembly from?

Looks like it could come from a Doktor Okterpuss toy!?!?!?!?

get a shed load of guitar strings/stiff wire and model them to look like mecha-dendrites with various pain-inflicting attachements on the ends (have you seen the end bit of the silent hill movie with the bed and all the barbed wire? can't find a good pic of it) something like that would be cool, rather than one or two big arms
