So short story, I found an old Halloween skull lying in my attic, scared me at first, but after the shock passed it came to me that Warhammer has some pretty cool stuff when it comes to skulls, Imperium skulls - of course. Servo Skulls!!
Pretty much I have no idea what to put on it. I have an eye lense sorted, but nothing else. I felt this would be a good oppourtunity to show my love of this hobby and make something of my own, this servo skull will be that such thing.


But what should I include on it?
Should I add a short passage on the side? If so, what should it say?

Well, you've got the skull. so what you need is the servo. Anti-grav and protocols to allow it to understand binary codespeak so that it might revel in the codestreams of the Omnissiah, I'd say is what you need..

What's the best way to model them?

Well, you start by taking a power source, usually a M-73127f721101A micro fusion plant and intering it within the cranium....

Look, this discussion is as old as the Imperium, but the 1101A is fine enough for servoes for the lower rank Skitarii, but unless you want to create feedback that vibrates your mechandrites far beyond them working at any kind of precision, you're going to want to stick to a dual-core rigged M-7298fae1010X, Besides, how are you going to have a servo on an 1101A - or any of the M-73 for that matter - run more than a single datastream? You'd need an ogre skull with a power source that big!

@Ballpointpen: do you have a junkyard close by? Maybe you could get some wrecked electronics, and just pick out random parts to fill it with.

A candle to read holy texts by.

Attach it to a drone and install a spot light in one eye and a camera in the other.

Thank you for suggestions, and the drone idea would be pretty cool - maybe another day

I don't have many shops locally, but I don't mind taking parts from something bought cheap
