Hey everyone, I've been on a hiatus for awhile, but the new Grey Knights codex has inspired me to do something I've been wanting to do for quite a long time: an Adeptus Mechanicus army. So I ask:

Can I get some links to other Admech armies/blogs/plogs/etc, for inspiration and to blatantly rip off good conversion ideas?

What good bitz sites are there? Trustworthy, of course, and hopefully American for shipping costs...

Thanks in advance to everyone who replies. I appreciate it!

Well, for starters, though I'm kinda stating the obvious, you should buy some engine-seers, servitors, and techmarines.

Then get some guardsmen with bionics underway, and maybe straken, cuz he looks techy.

And, most importantly, you'll want some GS, a lot of it.

Those are the only GW models I could think of that would work for this (other than vehicles), but you can probly google AdMech fandex and find some useable advice.

I'm going to be putting IG torsos ontop of High Elf skirts, plasticarding up some shoulder pads and greenstuffing hoods for my basic Skittarii troopers. What I'm looking for are tips for specific bits to trick out my dudes, and some ideas for characters and squad leaders. I'm going to try to stay away from "standard" models, just cause I'm a hobby snob.

Once I get a list of needed parts, I'll probably make a "SELL ME YOUR BITZZZZZZ" post on the swap shop...

Tau bits look VERY high-tech. Just get a target lock for a head or something like that. Imagination is great that way...
