Morning EDC, they are indeed.

So, some further work on Faulkes' land raider. I decided to stick with single lascannons in the sponsons as something a bit different to normal

I bought this guy a while back to use as a Blood Pact stalk tank. I think he works as an Onager instead. I think the blister underneath was supposed to be a troop bay but it's wildly too small

Also, this model is a pain in the backside to build!

Going to be a cool looking Onager indeed !

Cool! Love the walking tank think. The off-centre angle really makes it look like it's a lumbering beast, vaguely insect-like

Oh, and I like how Heretek Hvergelmir's coming along really different flavour to him than his loyalist counterpart

Aw man, that spider tank is damn cool. It looks really menacing too.

EDC

A bit of work on the base

Looking groovy.

EDC

A little more work on the spider; I'd planned claws or buzzsaws for the cognis-manipulator but they looked clunky and a bit off. I removed the front arms and replaced them with these hatchesL





The idea is the manipulator/s can be retracted within the chassis to prevent damage when not required, and extended via either side hatch when required.

Also finished the base, just need to finish the work on the spider and paint it before reattaching it to the base

Just a fresh coat of paint

Finished up one side of Magos-Dominus Faulkes' Land Raider.



He retains the traditional colours of the Taghmata, but adds Martian red to further affirm his devotion to the Omnissiah


On another note, thanks for the feedback and comments EDC and Ynneadwraith I hope to have Heretek Hvergelmir finished before the end of the week

I love that six legged walker and many of the other conversions! I've often thought that a good converter could do some amazing stuff with warmachine for 40K. The paint work on the Knight looks great also. The only suggestions I would have would be to consider lightening the bases for contrast with the darker models. Also, the wooden feet guy's wooden feet just don't look right. : )

Hi Kestral, and welcome to the Taghmata
I see what you mean with the bases, the mechanicus are the darkest of my linked armies and the bases are meant to tie the various parts together. Maybe a lighter drybrush or more metal parts?
Have you seen my Wolfbrothers? I have a whole unit of Dreadnoughts converted from warjacks, and I'm thinking of using some of the gargantuans for various things. The Taghmata will probably get a Khador colossal added before long.
And yeah, I need to do something with the barrel legs

So, not my picture today, but I must have this!!

Whilst I have yet to acquire that mighty robot, I did find these in the local hobby shop



In sure they're supposed to be Epic titans but I think they'll work just fine as cyborgs

Cool stuff. Spider and Land Raider are looking good.

What will you do with your acquisitions? Or is it for general conversion purposes?

EDC

I'm thinking general conversion purposes, EDC, I bought them purely on a whim. I might add some of the right scale to the Militia and Cults section of the Taghmata as heavy weapon troopers

A little bit of work on these 2 magi, Etrigan gets a cannon and the Heretek receives his other hand

Still not sure what to do with Etrigan's wood feet. Probably cover them with plasticard later

Looking great dude Heretek Hvergelmir's a bit of a beast!

Not sure on the wood feet either. I suppose you could sand off the detail and have them as metal, but that's quite an expanse of flat material to paint up (would be conducive to weathering though...)

Thanks Ynneadwraith! Yeah he's a monster in more than one way; I almost prefer him to the loyalist version.
With Etrigan I'm thinking of adding banded armour to cover the wood, like mkII power armour

Yeah that'd look cool sort of segmented style armour. Nice way to break up what would be quite a large expanse of smooth plate

Ynneadwraith, still working on the armour; it's insanely difficult to bend even thin plasticard around those feet and make it stay! I shall persevere....

While I leave the latest attempt to armour Etrigan properly drying upstairs, I started work on grey-stuffing in the gaps on my Thanatar-Cynis to get it to a point where it;'s paint-worthy





Just the one side for now, I'll let it dry overnight and get back to it tomorrow

Really cool stuff. I like how the big walker is shaping up.

EDC

Yup, that one is going to be monstruous, looking forward to seeing the next steps !

Thanks KernelTerror, EDC

It actually fell off my desk and kinda broke, both legs off the base and the hip and an arm off at the shoulder. Easily fixed, but will take a bit of time. It did enable me to see the base better and realise how terrible it looked though So I'm redoing the base as a larger cityscape style. Hope to have something else up by tomorrow

Thanks for reading

Or actually, by tonight! Reassembled the Thanatar-Cynis, and finished the base off too. I'll get it sprayed tomorrow

Good to have Death Dealing Mecha in ones' army!

Yeah Shaso, it really is! This guy's a bit of a beast too, T8 with 2+ armour and uber-plasma cannons. I love the 30K admech! Best of all, I have the bitz to make another, and probably will have more than a couple before I finish the Taghmata

So, base coated and basic colours done; watered, and 2 thin coats









I had to brush paint the gaps in the base where the spraypaint missed so it's still drying but I'll be following the 'painting realm of battle' video for the base colours

Finished up the big guy tonight, pretty happy to have another project completed

Now that's really nice I definitely like that!
