Been trying to get going on the Ad Mech but it keeps devolving into a batch painting session, so I've split them down into bite sized chunks:

Praetorian servitors; nearly done:


servitors; nearly done:


Enginseers; very nearly done:


Master of the Forge, very nearly done:


Titan crew & robots:


Tech Marine and cyber gimp:


Various Enginseers & Tech Marines:

lookin good as always hehe...cyber gimp

That is quite a lot of techpriests, where did they come from? Also interesting use of the GW armor through the ages

They are all GW minis. Most are metal, quite a few are fairly old Rogue trader era. Four are from an old Skulz promotional offer. One is made up of plastic bits and one from FW resin parts, there are also some FW shoulder pads and a FW resin tech priest.

Great work, fantastic modeling !!!

Slowly working through my backlog. Finished the Servitors amd the first group of Adepts

Looking good Ash! Never thought I would see those old mechanicum priest given the good paintjob they needed, I am happy to say you have proved me wrong!

The servitors look great, you seem to have gathered a wide variety of them the only ones I can not see are these guys!

Keep up the great work!

@ Commander Cain: Cheers, it just so happens that I've been on the hunt for those very blokes . .

Finished these two:






Little resin Urban rubble pile that I picked up at Salute for 99p!




Also done with these, by Maximin, came with the siege gun conversion kit:

Engine seers look great! My only problem would be that the thunder hammer on the second guy looks a little bit flat, maybe some verdigris in the depressed areas would make it pop out (I find hawk turquoise works really well!)

Nice bits of terrain, may have to pick up some of that maxmini stuff myself!

Where is the bridge from? It looks really nice!

All the miniatures here look great, I love the realism you've accomplished.

It's the Pegasus Hobbies Technobridge:

Thanks, I might have to pick one of them up!

I love how you've painted them in such a gritty realistic manner. Count me as subscribed!

It's quite a cool kit as its snap together, so you can easily take it to bits for storage; also join a couple of kits together to make a longer bridge.

@ Mr.Malevolent: Cheers for the feedback, much appreciated.

Done the next group:

I really like the worn look on that bridge very good i must expirement with this

Dug this out from storage, was originally painted for my Marines, can't even remember when (when did this kit come out?). Looking at this now I would say it's only half done.
Can't really get at the interior without taking the whole thing to bits so it will have to stay as is.
The rest will go Ad Mech; I'll strip off all the Fist symbols and external bits and replace with Cog stuff, weapons will stay as is, may add servitors . . .
Painting, thinking of verdigris bronze and lightly salt-mask chipped red. The brown should make a good base for the Red- hopefully.









Any suggestion appreciated

Ooh, would most certainly like to see an admech LR. Adding servitors sounds like a good plan, I would also be tempted to give it some extra bits like grabber claws and maybe spruce up the guns somewhat. Whatever you decide to go for, I am sure it will look great!

Newest tech marines look great btw, especially the dude with the spiky fist

I second everything Cain just said!

Re: the servitors, was thinking of swapping the top cover marine for something like this:



I've also got one of those skinny servitor torsos from the old Inq28 Throne of Judgment

Looks nice! Your own work?

I actually like them not having the gun welded directly onto their torso.

Micro Arts emplacement, with Renegade grunts

Looks Good! Though suspiciously similar to the ones in you other two blogs

Seriously though, great stuff! Makes me want to pick up some of that micro art terrain.

WOW! Ill follow this one for sure!

Yeah, I'm not quite sure how that happened.
Think I must have stuck something in the wrong place, which is a bit of a pain as the whole point of the separate threads was to keep it all separate!

Got a WIP Plog, then separate showcases for finished terrain, tanks and grunts

Fantastic stuff in here Ash! I love your style. Really inspirational.

And you will be happy to know that I exalted them all!

Slowly collecting some more bits to go with my Renegades:

Here's my zombie haul. 6 x Sturmzombies from Incursion. Got the set from maelstromgames for £5.40 inc p&p !!

The bloke on the Left is, I think, a Necromunda Scavvy of some sort. Another eBay find, was in need of hands/weapons.

those will look great painted up incursion zombies have got to be my favorite around

Story so far; with all available bits chucked at it:
