So it's been about four months since my first post here (I was asking where I could find plasticard) and with some help from the board I got what I needed and just recently got around to converting my first model. I'm really happy with the results, my GS work is admittedly really rough but for a first shot I think I did ok. I wanted to convert some skitarii for an adeptus mechanicus army (though I've never actually played the tabletop game, I should get around to doing that) but I wanted my skitarii to look a little more militaristic, I guess. I know it's not really in the AdMech's nature but I wanted to keep them a little toned down from the usual entirely robed acolyte look. I mean, the skitarii are supposed to be soldiers, right?



I'm disappointing in the crotch guard more then anything, and I'm going to make it a point with my next few models to polish that area up. I think it could do with another plate or two (as I've seen other modelers do with their AdMech) but that didn't cross my mind at the time. The hook looks a little wonky too but I feel when the model is down on the table and not so zoomed in it tends to look a lot better. I suppose if I was going to field these guys as an army this guy could be a sergeant in an Imperial Guard squad, seeing as he's got a chainsword.

The model is mainly Dreamforge's Eisenkern, some bastardized Necron heads, and then just some GS. I really like the Eisenkern models and with their Black Friday sale a few months ago I was able to net like a hundred for just over 80 bucks.

Lovely work, looking forward to seeing more.. much more

it has a very strong Dr. Doom vibe to the model...(belive me, I know what I'm talking about, don´t use that name not oout of the blue ) that is a conversion of a DF model, right?...interesting....the chainsword blade is a bit on the thick side compared to the rest of the model but I think you have a very good theme here and I too want to see more of that... also... you´re way too harsh about your skills methinks... gs smoother than you think... and to fix the crotch armour...just add rivets and you are golden...

also...welcome to dakka!

cheers, vik

Good job.

To get green stuff smooth try some small color shapers. They are great.

Oh, I knew I missed something! Rivets are a great idea, thank you.

A mechanical pencil can do good rivets.
