Cheers Bash. Getting that bit under the nosed filled and sorted was an absolute pain due to the size and awkward shape. Next bit should be a breeeze though....I hope lol

That's looking better already, just the chassis swap around .

Cheers

Here we go folks. A wee WiP of my command conveyor kataphron (there's a name that needs work ). The platform is totally removable and will allow for a siege weapon component (which I'll build.........yeah, at some point ) to be mounted. The servitor and the platform can swivel and JUST miss each other which was a feth of a gaklord to get sorted but hey ho there we go!!! Happy so far. Still need to smooth down some bits and tidy up. All good??

Very nice conversion! Although I'd maybe consider a rail of some kind on the platform, the commander looks a bit precarious!

Yeah - been thinking about a rail or guard of some sort. Just need to figure out the hows. Space is tight as the dominus is meant to be able to ride up there too. I'll figure something.

Will this be another diorama? I see that mesh on the skitarii!

Dio....It's possible.......
mesh ON the skitarii???? not likely

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

All the scraps should make for some nice rusty basing detritus

Looks really good. Maybe a rail only at the rear of the platform that ever so slightly curls at the ends?

Yeah - gonna put up some rail or something or other. just trying to figure how to buld a convincing one that doesnt look too scrappy

Disclaimer: I’m not very good at scratchbuilding

Could you put together something that looks like pipework? Take some slightly wider cylinders, cut them to make joins, drill them like gun barrels, and fit smaller pipes/wires in to make a structure. Might take some greenstuff work to get decent “T” joins. Cut at an angle to make bent joins if you need to navigate a corner.

Just a thought.

Looks awesome!

Cheers Nevelon. Yeah...this converting/sctarch building stuff is kinda new for me. I've got 2 gauges off fine plastic piping that I'll see what I can do with. Getting a matching rounded front rail for the front of the platform is gonna be tricky. I'll come up with something

That's such a clever idea having that platform on the back, some kind of auto loading weapon mounted on one of these would look awesome .

Cheers man. That's knda what I had in mind when I was planning. The platform is magnetised so can be lifted off leaving a central post which could then have a weapons array loaded on instead.

*the tech priest applies the sacred oils to the bar and apologizes to the Omnissiah.

Just followed the link in your sig here... Why haven't I checked this out before? Great stuff.

Your scratch building has given me some ideas for basing scenery for my Fists. Keeping an eye on this.

Cheers Zambro. Here's the finished conversion. Calling this guy done. The dominus I finished can also fit on the platform. Eventually I'll build some weapon like a helix pattern plasma mortar as an alternative load to the platform. Really happy how it's turned out. Very very fiddly conversion though lol

Oh my god that is too cool. We need rules for this NOW!

Now it's MINION cool!!! (Too much glue fumes today I think o.O)

Now that is heresy, burn the (big, yellow, blobby, annoying) witch! Love the conversion, it is a great way to unite the Skitarii and Cult Mechanicus.

The omnissiah is dissapoint.

Cheers folks. Very happy with it. The Minion has been suitably chastised by a passing Castellax's erad ray

I love you Forgeworld,
I hate you Forgeworld,
I love you Forgeworld!!!

Nice 'wee' order put in and I managed to avoid buying a Chaos Warhound! Won't get my stuff till Christmas but I can wait (no, I really can't!!) Lovely stuff will be coming to this plog soon....ish

God-Emperor damn it Januine, I'd nearly got to 24hrs without seeing a minion. You ninja bastard.

A friend is asking me to build his Warhound, if you like, I can drop you a non purchase justifying note on how good/bad that process actually is when I get there. I'm anticipating a lot of water-baths.

Hahaaaha - been eyeing up the Chaos Warhound. Beautiful beast that it is. Will get one eventually.......for now I'm happy with all the Mech stuff I just got

The tau titan is out! MWAHAHAHA
But we dont talk about those fishfeths on this thread, hail the omnissiah! So what'd ya get? what'd ya get? WHAT'D YA GET!?

Loads a lovely stuff!!! Has to take advantage of the free postage

Ah, Hector! Love that model and the Blanche-esque guys he comes with! And Servo-skulls with the right detail are surprisingly fun to paint! Very little margin for error, but a nice challenge because of it!
