Really nice work with the adeptus mechanicus!

I love the "Death Orks of Krieg" idea! I would use them to make some kind of orkish parody of the Death Korps Of Krieg, could be fun. They will look somewhat like the old goff orcs though. Still, cool idea!

Great work! Keep us posted.

These really are excellent. Great greenstuff work on the skitarii. I also like the archo-flagellants, I don't agree with Kungfuhustler's comment that they look too low-tech to be Adeptus Mechanicus troops, I think that the concept of mindless, expendable troops works really well with your plan to use them as penal legion troops. The execution of this concept is also very good, I can't wait to see them completed. I also like their degenerate human look, I think it really adds a gothic feel to them totally in keeping with the 40k universe. It also illustrates the fact that the Adeptus Mechanicus cares very little for people: they are simply functional objects to be 'upgraded' and used.

What The Lost Hobbit said! I really like the arco-flaggellants, there's a nice sense of movement in there. Keep it up.

Hey all, just a quick note off-topic.
I've recently been made redundant, so I'm trying to take my commission painting full time for a short while, to see how it goes.
Check out my website at http://clankerrminiatures.blogspot.com/.

Please note- I could make you units or vehicles to the exact match of those made in this thread, so If you liked my Adeptus Mechanicus, send me an email if you want a unit or army building!

Also check out the eBay store for currently listed items. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/clankerrminiatures
Thanks,
Jon

Good luck mate and I'm looking forward to the tutorials. I'd second the idea of a Knights Helm for the Imperial Knight. A lot of the conceptualising and conversions are truly inspired and inspiring for when I turn my hand to Adeptus Mechanicus!

Good work man, i've tried to do greenstuff hoods before and just couldn't get them right. The rest of your greenstuff work is solid as well, keep it up

Whoops, wrong thread.

Finally got some bits and made a start on the Chimera.
Based on an AT-TE from Star Wars, of course, but I hope it looks Imperial Guard enough.
Once the details are added and the typical 40k rivets are applied it will probably fit a lot more.

Any comments and criticisms are much appreciated.
Jon

Something along the lines of an AT-TE from Star Wars...

The difference will be that mine should have a flat roof, so my command squad can stand on top.... I'll also be doing a glass screen all the way around this platform, perhaps with strategic information projected onto the screen and with the obligatory bullet holes and other damage..... We'll see soon enough.

Quoted as a reminder of "the plan"

Cool, i'm working on somthing like this myself will be starting a new topic with the concept art sometime..... nice direction so far

Okay, not to detract from the brilliance of your Deth Orks uv Kreeg idea, but here's some stuff that might help that happen a lot faster:

Can't wait to see more AdMech!

These look awsome. Hopefully you get some good money.

Ah yes, I've seen these before and have actually been using the images as a bit of a reference.
Thing is, I'm one of those that tends to try and use all GW bits, plus my own sculpting, partly as one of the places I play regularly is Warhammer World at Nottingham. Also- I'm not that impressed with the gasmasks, I reckon I could do better, nor do I like the faces of the Orks without masks, as they don't particularly match the GW faces. The coats are very good though, and I only hope I can make my coats look equally good, but probably not.

The flagellant/legionaires are still rough, I understand, but they seem very low-tech.

I can see what he means on the low tech a little bit. Still amazing models but why not try like a control box on each of their backs with just a few wires justting out into their bodies and one to say the face mask. Would give it a little more of a mechanicus feel. If not hey whatever I still think they look great and would love to hear on how to do those scrolls. The Greenstuff-fu is stong in you I can sense it_

loving the mechanicus idea.. luving that ork idea better tho!

where did you get those bendy cables?? they are not guitar strings are they?

and also, your mechanicus are cool, keep it up
