Thanks guys, really appreciate the kind comments. I am pretty passionate about basing, so it's nice to be able to contribute something substantial to the way the army looks.

Knight was painted by Ramos, most of the rest by Nerdy. I just did the skitarii infantry.


Here's the whole group together. More-or-less 1850 pts depending on options.

Very nice group shot .. Very effective list .

Yeah, for not being a war convocation, it's nice.

Good army, Gits'. Nice collaborative effort.
The bases tie them all together well.

all round.

Nice to see Dakka's working for you. Lovely army!

Not much meat on them for me boys to chew on, but they look pretty!

@Dr H: Thanks. To top the collaborative nature of the effort, the display board I'll be painting for the army was built by Camkierhi...

@WarbossDakka: Well, it worked once, broken again. Thanks though.

@Cam: Well, that's kind of the way of it. War Convocation is the best formation and what I'm working towards myself, but it limits you quite a bit & you never have a lot of figures. They are pretty hard to kill though. Not as robust as Necrons... but pretty good. That helps counteract the low model count. The 1850 point army I'm ultimately shooting for will have a different knight and a unit of rust stalkers, infiltrators and vanguard... as well as a void shield generator. All very AdMechy. Should look spectacular on that display you made for me. I've seen net lists with Tiggy and Crowe added... but to me that takes a wonderful, powerful AdMech army and just turns it into a tournament cheese factory. I have no interest in it.

If there's any doubt how incompetent I am at playing this game... you can watch this video battle report by Eiluj The Farseer. My little Skitarii force with knight back-up vs. some Necrons. It does feature the use of RiTides objective marker ModCubes though. We really like them.

That is so great and the game pics last page were just beautiful! (And not only because they had ModCubes in them ). I feel like your in-game shots have gotten a lot clearer, did you change phones/cameras?

The army shots are just great, and I think your infantry really shines - very very clean work!

This is my favorite (albiet with basing added later )

I know Eiluj has featured your Modules on his YouTube channel (War gamer Shawn) several times.

Worked on some lists yesterday, unfortunately my "vision" for the army needs 2000 pts to build. I did manage to come up with a really stripped down version at 1850. It's amazing how 150 points can gut an army.

I feel your pain Git. I loved my 2k list I ran at Wargames Con. Taking out my two CC Knights made me a sad panda. Now only one Knight since we are down to 1850 again.

It's good to see someone getting some use out of RiTide's ModCubes. Unfortunately, I must have left my 40k sets at a game store out of state. Hopefully, someone else is using and enjoying them.
Love the look of the AdMech, Gits.

Made some progress on the dune stalkers' bases this weekend. Mainly adding rocks to them. The size of the bases and clearance under the vehicles meant that I was able to attach some big honking rocks... which should make for a fun final effect. Grit goes on tonight, painting tomorrow, then foliage after that.

Gits basing at it's finest. Good to see you back in action!

Getting close to finishing this army off. Nice.

I like the natural rock idea. Plus it adds some weight figures.

looking forward to seeing those Dunestalkers based! I used those bases as plates for my toast for breakfast.......

Nice work on the bases. Pretty rare to see grass/greenery on Ad Mech models, very refreshing.

EDC

Finished the Dune crawler bases.

Great excuse to use some massive rocks. Nice stuff Gits.

Those are some of your best. The contrast really makes the red pop!

Really great work on the bases. Perfect balance on colour.

Sorry for not commenting, real life got a bit heavy. Those look great, the red green contrast is lovely, and the models look great.

Dune crawlers look so good!

Dune crawlers just look so... Orky to me.

Thanks guys, I'm happy with the way they've turned out.

Working on one of my knights which took some transportation damage (just needs re-assembly... no painting damage). Hope to install a central pin so I can swivel the upper body, then will finish the base properly.

Very nice .. not overwhelming busy as to distract from the figure.

Gits, I've been a way for a while, but your completed force, or at least how it stands now, looks fantastic. It pulls together well and from an aesthetic stand point, looks fantastic on the table with the varying heights of the models and the difference in unit composition. As always, love your stuff brother. Hope all is well.

By the way... have you seen the Forgeworld Upgrade kits coming out? The Hoplites make me want start an army

I have. They're neat. My concern, playing in a pretty competitive area... is that they'll be difficult & expensive to work into my army... which is already stretched pretty thin. They're also not a lot different (strategically speaking) than what I can put together already.... fragile infantry with above-average shooting capability. Lack of firepower isn't the AdMech's problem. Lack of mobility, durable infantry & good assault troops are.

So the Ad-Mechs are glass-cannon style army?

Yes.

Aside from the Cataphrons (destroyers & breachers), infantry is all T3, generally 4+ save. So easy to pen armor and double-out. The robots & HQ are pretty durable. Vehicles can be slightly more durable than normal (some have invul saves or can self-repair).

All things considered however... glass hammer sums it up pretty well.

Good job on the Dune crawler bases.
Ironically, there's no dunes for them to crawl over, only rocks.
