Fantastic work as always Guita, the Hunter Drones are an excellent concept. I can just see them materialising out of the warp (deep striking) ready to spray plasma death.

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm still in doubt as to what colour scheme they'll get - here's a couple of ideas:

3, 9, 7 in that order.

I like 4, maybe with some hazards.

I like paint scheme No' 9 its different from the colour schemes you've done in the past from what I can recall and its something that could challenge you, but lets face it what can challenge the great GuitaRasmus! xD

9 all the way!

Knowing the quality of your paintjobs, I would love to see you tackle number 9. That could end up looking so cool if done right...

9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
when i saw you pondering schemes i was thought a dark matalicy perlecent green would be quite cool.

3 or 6. HAS to be 3 or 6.

I think 5 or 8. Both would look awesome on your models

6 or 9!

One more for 9!

9, 4, 5 in that order. I'm sure whatever you choose will look incredible.

I like no.8 the best

9, or otherwise 8. That would be cool!

I vote 10 and 11 because I'm different

Whoa, you don't have an off switch and I love it. Your concepts are so imaginative and packed full of character, I just can't get enough!

6, 4, 3. In order of preference.

Has to be 9, 4 & 5 are a close joint second.

Absolutely love this thread. Inspirational work.

11,11,11,11,11,11,11,11,11!!!!!!

In that order.

6 is my favorite just cause it seems fun, but 9 is sexy too!

Wow, thanks for the input! I'm still considering, and while I like #9, I'm worried that it doesn't really scream "Dark Mechanicum".

Btw, this project is getting weirder by the minute... I wasn't completely satisfied with helbrute no.2, so I gave it another try, and tried to make something different - I kinda like where this is going.







(The pilot is just a stand in, until the stores open tommorrow, so I can get a plastic necromancer or chaos sorcerer)

Oh, and I've gotten hold of the new C'tan - as soon as I saw it, I knew it would work great for my "data daemon allies" (as inspired by the "Dark Adeptus" book - "daemon programs" or living electricity of sorts), as a Greater Daemon (Keeper of secrets). Also, I'm considering using dryads as lesser daemons (daemonettes). They will all be airbrushed either a creepy bright green or blue. I'm still pondering about the mount for the greater daemon - but it's such an amazing miniature.

Personally i think 9 with hazzard stripes would look good and still allow for area's of just green and link to the Mechanicusnuss

More epic concepts! Yay!

Those are some seriously awesome new additions, as per your usual standard

Regarding the colour, I think the point is that, unlike the "loyal" AdMech, the Dark Mechanicus doesn't seem to have an established, iconic colour scheme in the first place. So I think it's really rather okay to go with what looks cool -- and no. 9 does look fethin' cool at that! I think the interesting part will be the contrast between the armour plates and any (daemonic) flesh there might be. Plus, as bigfish suggested, you can (and probably should) always add hazard stripes as needed.

Wow, Wow Wow

Jaw dropping awesome Hellbrute!

Will there be more Skitarii?

What about Obliterators or Mutilators?

6 looks good to me.

This army project belongs definately to the best projects on the entire internet!

Very unique, very themed and absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks a lot for the kind words. :-)

@ Malika: perhaps at a later time. For now I just want two units of skitarii, so I can spend the points on the big guys. I've thought about making a single mutilator, just for fun. I'm not really interested in obliterators, since everybody and their grandmas are using them, they take up a heavy support slot (where I would rather have machines), and I've tackled converting them already for my death guard.

Tryanotherone: I dont know about that, there are many VERY nice armies on the webz, but thank you for the kind comment - I put a LOT of effort into this army, so its nice when people like them. :-)
