Hello,
After a long time lurking Im finally getting around to join the action.
Having eagerly been following all the various wonderful =I=munda threads, I have started to experiment a little with stuff from my bitzbox.

the idea is some sort of Dark Mechanicus warband very much inspired by DakkaRush's own "gang." another influence is excessive amounts of Resident evil 5

my problem is that I really don't know much about the Dark mechanicus and as such, I am pretty much making stuff up as I go along, basing it on a twisted zombie version of the Adeptus mechanicus. But Im not sure they are just quite, evil looking enough?

So here are some of the of the results they are all very much wip and still needs GS-work done: Do they seem DM-ey enough?

Very inspiring conversions! They remind me of the classical swedish pen and paper rpg Kult that had (among many other very awesome things) metal/flesh hybrid demons thingies. They do seem like techpriests gone bad. Possibly chaos, possibly just being too curious for their own good. The spacemarine shoulderpad seems fine. It may look a little "power armour", but it is after all the techies who makes the power amrours. You could try turning it, so the longer edge goes horizontally, that may change the look a bit.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

AWESOME conversions, man. Very, very cool. Love the poses, love the imagery, love the unified look, LOVE the Haemoncolyte!

Great work.

Although I don't know what Dark Mechanicus is, [probably because I don't do =I=], I'm guessing it's Adeptus Mechanicus "just being to curious".

I like the way these models are coming along, but I think the conversions are a little strange. The zombie parts mixed with mechanical bits is interesting, but a still a bit strange. They sort of remind me of Dark Eldar Grotesques who went a little overboard.

Nice models over all, and I really like the Dark Praetorian. Can't wait to see them painted!

Liking this a lot, Keep them coming!

I can´t pick a favorite, I think you´ve really struckgold here, the mix of bits you´re using is great.

Altough I don't recognise any RE5 influences in there, those are some nice conversion.
- The Acolytes are simple, yet effective.
- The Dark Skitarii needs some more work. The sensor in the head is a good idea, I did that with a few Orks myself, but it should be more in the head, right now it looks too much like it has been just glued on the side.
- the heamonclyte is my favourite so far
- the Dark Preatorien is a nice concept, but ther middle part sticks out to much. Can you attach the legs to a smaller disc? And the torso should be more connected to the lower part, maybe with some cables.

Looks good for a start but I think you need more fleshy parts on them- especially the "what is wrong with you" guy and the dark praetorian.

Twisted, weird, very grim.

Parfait.

These are awesome very gothic sci-fi I'd however suggest making the two halves looking connected possibly with greenstuff on the Praetorians.

Anyone know what body was used for the heamonclyte ?
