Hello. I hope you all are doing well. New to the forum and figured I'd share my recent model and get your opinions on it. ?

rating 10 out of 10, is it part of a larger army?

Beautifully done! You have absolutely nailed the gothic and grimdark aesthetic of 40K. The kitbash is straight forward enough, but the skulls on the model and the base are great and gives everything macabre feeling to it. Especially with those crows. The colours give everything a faded and dusty look to it. Very much in the style of John Blanche. Great work and I would love to see more!

Thank you! Very kind of you. And yes, it is! Trying to put together a fun New Mechanicum army and practicing on a style I like. I play with friends, so we all kitbash and proxy in a lot of things. Here is another picture:

Man, this is very high-praise that I hope one day I'll live up to, but it's well received nevertheless. Thank you very much!?

You'll need to show the whole army as it progresses, a group picture must be breathtaking

Wow really fantastic work. You should pop your other models in the painting blog forum, it would be great to see your WiP and how you progress!

I also really like it. Very distinctive style and beautifully executed

I like your style! Somewhere between classic Eavy Metal and Grimdark. Looks awesome mate, keep it coming!

Cool ideas and really well executed!
The model actually benefit from a paintstyle like this. Its busy busy details really look good in muted black against pale beige.
