Update! all pics are clickable for super huge zoomable versions!

Learning how to blend and drybrush on tanks!, also edge shading!


First Red knight of mars, Admech Dreadnaught awaiting his servo harness, and admech commisar (note, super sweet geared chainsword not visible :( )


Frame by frame how to reload a plasma rifle, now with one praying for the blessing of the machine god! XD


Mechanicus special weapons and sargents, many arms replaced by bits, heavy flamer in center

That is a lot of flamers! Pretty cool Dread Hammer there, how did you make it?

its an autocannon, a rocket launcher, and a bumper from a land raider I think
the top is 2 IG ammo cans and a shoulderpad

if you click the picture and zoom in it's pretty obvious.

the whole thing is magnets, i can switch the arms around, and pose him however I like at will

the 5 Defilers have arrived!
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.

black to blurry for the moment being
knight titan progress

Cool knight titan. Are you using defiler bitz?

The hammer on that Dreadnought is really cool and original. Lookin forwards to seein the servo-harness on it.

Goodluck with the conversions, theres where Admech armies mostly differ from the norm.

Thanks guys!

Stalk tank (leman russ) W/ battle cannon and heavy bolter, still need to add some giblins to it, but pretty much the idea.

Great stalk Tank!

The only thing I don't like about the stalk tank is that the cannon does not look like it has more than one shot, maybe an ammo drum somewhere? Loving all of these conversions, the step-by step loading of a lasgun is a cool idea!

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,

Have to dig through bits for inspiration.

knight progress

Ahhh, now I know why it looked like a chaos titan to me!

You were right, that hammer is massive. I likey!

Liking that knight titan more and more keep it coming.

wow, your collection of tanks alone is impressive!

Element206 wrote:wow, your collection of tanks alone is impressive!

I got most of the tanks in trades, they are just to hold me over until I convert everything to mechanicus greatness.

The titan's lance is mostly done, I'm trying to get ahold of that good camera again for a big 50th post

Update: Army Progress!



Partly Finished Titan Lance




The Army as it stands now:

That titan looks like its getting ready to feth someone's couch.


Please tell me that's a baneblade or some such primered white.....I'd hate to try and build one from plasticard.

Nothing exciting this week
expanding infantry corps, have about 40 more guys with red coats awaiting detailing, second unit of leather-masked troops in there, most of the special weapons.

having some difficulties painting bright orange, threw a bunch of vehicles I don't need on ebay, thinking of throwing up knight titan #1 up as well to make some fundage back up since I really dont need 3 titans.

awaiting mondo bits bag from thewarstore O_o

Great looking army! The titan fits in very nicley.

BTW, I agree when you said that adding some cables would make the stalk tank's gun look more energy based.

Did I hear you correctly, demolish a titan! It is heresy!

Thanks!

I'm actually changing my color scheme slightly, coloring in the chest armor of my infantry an oily gunmetal similiar to the sentinal legs, gives them alot more character.
Also got the right brush to do eyes

Not demolishing a titan, just selling it so I have some money to figure out what I want to do for chimera's

Update:
Biggest bits shipment in history is inbound, enough to replace virtually every vehicle and build tons more troops!

I decided on for stormtroopers:
-SM scout head
-Command squad long-las sniper rifle
-Cadian torso
-Tau legs (mechanical-ized)

I am also on the lookout for some sort of storage bay to convert stalk tanks (as above) into chimera transports, some boxy thing that it can be dragging or can be lashed to its underside and not look bad

Wow youve been busy D. Stalk tank looks sick. I really gotta get up there to play again soon. Its been ages.

about 12 more stalk tanks worth of bits arriving today! expect updates! XD

nice palladin knight !

I envy you. How much money have you spent? to the nearest million?

Very nice paladin titan, hopefully you'd find the time to paint it nicely. Good job with the army

shrike wrote:I envy you. How much money have you spent? to the nearest million?

honestly, with the amount of trading I do, not very much. If you have some funds to buy things you /might/ use, and troll craigslist, I usually end up buying stuff for pennies, then trading it for what I want, or rending it apart for bits.

but really, its gotten out of control, lol, wait until i upload pictures.

nice use of the defence line as it's shoulders and "hood"

small update: first mechanicus arty stalker partly completed:



similiar to the basic stalk tank, rear legs will be modified to be more like support pistons and the front are claws to grip terrain to brace itself, cannon needs to be chopped down a bit, articulated loading arm added, and rear legs modified.

//edit, ugh that picture is aweful, im starting a thread in the modeling section looking for a new camera, fed up with this nonsense.
