Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate all you kind words.
The arm is from a crypt ghoul indeed - for all the other parts, there is a list in a post a few post up, please check that out and see if it doesn't answer your questions.

A couple more to the unit - more heavy duty this time. Really love the powerdrill (Titan Forge).





And the family reunion.

What a family as they say at least you can choose your friends they look great though especially the drill arm that is one mean looking mother mind you I think the guy next to him needs something where his arm meets torso seems a bit bare.

Cheers, I'll see if I can come up with a suitable solution for the shoulder area.

next one in line

Looking very cool indeed. I am also encouraged by the utter awesomeness of the bitz piles in the background of these photos. Glad to know I'm not alone. A question to make me feel better (or worse): do you cut yourself when heavily converting? I always seem to...

Anyway, I am eager to see these guys get some paint; that is a great thing about you, Manus--you don't only convert, but also paint. It's nice to see a force come together, so I loved the army shot that you put in a while ago. I hope to see the force continue to grow, too--maybe a heavy walker?

Thanks a lot for all the nice words mate. I'm glad someone else find the pieces interesting - and with regards to the cutting: fortunately it's a very rare occurrence, but when I do it I do it good

A few more servitors ready

Allrighty then, the last two of my unit of servitors done - and of cause a family pic.

Dam what a family that is but who does the repairs looking great mate and like the individuality of each mini

A motley crew to be sure, but I love the way that the heads and torsos tie them together as a "family."

Pretty intimidating, actually! Well done on getting a whole squad finished!

Those are looking great, cant wait to seem them painted

Thanks a lot guys - glad you like them, I was a little worried they had turned out too different in the end.
I see what you mean LDD - I really need to cook up some priests sometime soon.
Paint...hmm, that the difficult part, I have so many blueprints stored in the matrix I need to build.

Meanwhile I'm working on a really awesome mini, that I hope to be able to show off soon - kind of keeping it as a goal for when my blog reaches 100.000 views - that would be in less than 200 views from now.

You got the hint then mate

Yes I got the hint

Though not quite a techpriest I hope you find this piece interesting as well.
It's a Protector - it protects! Like a bodyguard you know. Think it turned out quite cool and nasty looking. On second thought it might actually double as a priest at least until I have the full squad done.
Another thing it might double as is the Myrmidon Destructer if I find the time to use the FW armylist at some point.
A couple more pics in my blog if you are interested.

Bloody awesome looking triple stand in makes a great advert for 3rd party conversion bits I see Zinge, Micro Art, Anvil just to name a few

Love that conversion Manus... wow. Beautifully done.

Yes, Fantastic! I actually love how you can see the different parts before it's painted--really shows how much thought and effort you put into it. Talk about "bespoke" minature! Well done indeed!

I've asked before, but I'll try again: what are the bases you use? Do you build them yourself, or are they from somewhere? I love them.

Thanks a lot guys, really glad you like it - quite fond of it my self

@LDD: yes that's a couple of them, were you just to lazy to name them all - or did you actually have to pass on a couple there is two more in there (not counting GW and FW)

@pl: thanks a lot. Sorry if I have missed a question before. I do some times build bases my self, but that's mainly for larger models, and I don't think I have done it at all with this AdMech army. I have added a bit of rubble and gravel to most of the bases though - and perhaps also a few odd bits here and there. I use bases from several different manufactures - mostly I just find some new ones on ebay when I'm about to run out, so I cannot remember many names one I have used a few times is Dark Art miniautures, and I do think the ones above are from a shop called "Mad Mushroom" or something similar. I have also quite a few made by a guy from another forum and others I got from a kickstarter I supported. So it's all a big mix, the important part is tying them all together , I do that by painting them up the same way and the afore mentioned gravel/rubble and pigments. Hope this help a bit.

As I actually might get to play a game this week against a mate who loves to use that flying CSM thing of which I cannot remember the name, I decided to create a bit of flak to welcome it on the board. I recently picked up this cool drone from ramchackle and some autocannons from puppetswar, planning this conversion. Simply love that drone and I think fitting it with those cannons look really awesome, love artillery on legs and tracks - just right for AdMech I think.As he also likes to bring at least one LR and those most hated units - obliterators, look out for for more big guns in the next couple of days.

Awesome--like a Tarantula, but much bigger! Fantastic legs. Thanks for the great, detailed answer about the bases, too--I will look some of those places up for sure.

I look forward to seeing the other "big guns" for sure.

Great conversion! Very appropriate.

Where you at man? October was a long time ago--what have you been up to?

Hi ya

Well not much to be honest - besides work that is. I haven't build anything new, but I still have plans, so hopefully my work load will decrease a bit now, nad I'll get the energy back to sit down at the table doing stuff.

Cool, man. I've been totally lame recently in hobby terms--busy time of year. But, with Christmas coming up and some new kits and time off, I am hoping to get stuck in as well.

Anyway, good luck moving forward; I just enjoy your stuff so I thought I'd check.

YIIHAAAAA

Cut up some plastic and glued 'em on backwards - isn't much yet, but hopefully this will turn into my second Protector really soon.

I think he has a subluxation of the left shoulder...

He's an old man - that's what happens to old men you know.

Had to add a bit of muscle and firepower. I think he starts looking rather mean.

Wow... is that ever sweet...

Seconded.

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated.

I even found time to finish him - almost, just need a little greystuffing in a few places. I was a little worried that the servoarm would be too big, make him look like he was overcompensating or something. But I really like how it makes him look massive. A few more pics in my blog if you are interested.

Outstanding.

He is amazing, so very very cool
