All the new AdMech stuff is an absolute goldmine for bitz. The Kats, the Skits & the Rusts esp as they are dual kits so you end up with a shedload of left overs. The Kat bodies would make for some nice big chunky gunservitors

I do need some servitors for my guard Jan, you've officially become my conversion consultant! Gives me all the more reason to start a plog of my own as well, something I've been meaning to get around to for a couple of months actually

Hahahaaaa - not sure about that; the Magos is my first proper build/conversion. Still kinda feeling my way

Great progress on the magos.

EDC

He's finished now

Love the robes. Such an unusual colour for the ad mech, but comes up a treat. If you had told me grey robes for them before I saw it I would have thought all the cybernetic's would have become lost in the grey but it works a treat.

Cheers Archer. Tis the colour scheme for my homegrown forgeworld Achyls III. Magos is now finished all finished and based. Hopefully get some proper photos up 2moro

Can't wait! What's up next after the Magos?

The Scyllax covenant is primed and ready to go. They're the ArchMagos' bodyguard in the taghmata ..ish gorgeous figs so well excited to get busy on them. Need to get another chunk of the space hulk stuff done soon too. And that thanatar is waiting........

Finally got the Arch-Magos finished the other day and got some photos done this morning. And here he is - Arch-Magos Braetalan'Kot. So really happy with this fella. My first proper build, reckon he came out pretty fine Will be entering him over on Nerdy's annual painting comp and see how he does, fingers crossed

My God, that's terrifying, er, I mean awesome, of course! Yet another amazing model from you!

Heheh - cheers Zerg

Stunning!

This has to be one of the best, most awesome painted armies ever, truly stunning.

Wow - thanks a million Cam. Kind words indeed
My AdMech force is begining to come together. Need to get some troops in there soon though. Got a squad of rangers waiting for paint after the Scyllax and then a squad of rusters after that and a Thantar as well. Should make for a nice mixed force of Skit, Cult and Automata

Wow Jan, he looks incredible - I love the posing of the tubes and wires they really look like coiling serpents ready to strike. This Magos would be truly terrifying to see in motion! A top notch paint job too, I love the little extras like the markings on the servo skulls

Cheers Bottle Putting in all the wee details was a lot of fun. Think I like making and then painting his Canticle Seals of Devotion the best though. Was a really fun build and paint though. Gonna make some wee constructs for his retinue when I have time.

An excellent conversion, and awesome paint job as always .

Simply awesome/horrifying/perfect mini!

It's come up an absolute treat. Glad you are happy with it as well. Does make me wonder though. What did he look like at the very start of his journey. You know, when he was still a man.

Gracias lads

Jan - you put your heart and soul in to that ArchMagos. He is superb. You've carried your original fluff story for him through in thievery aspect of the build. A truly superb blend of concept and delivery.

My words don't feel that they describe it well enough, but that's the best I got, sorry

PS You already won, doesn't matter how it does in any contest

PPS Can everyone vote for this in the gallery please!!!!!!

Thx a million TP. Really kind words and much appreciated

Hey Januine,

just browsing through your stuff and since today is the first day i seen your knight finished. just wanted to say amazing job on him he looks unreal! as for your newest ad mech creation super job on the conversion you killed it once again ! keep up the good work!

Excellent work on this guy throughout the execution. He's come up very impressively in his final form, and looks at least as good (or better, let's face it) than anything produced by GW or even FW for any of the "Mechanicus" factions.

Thanks a million folks Really do like the AdMech lot. Some really awesome models and figs in there. Think out of the whole Mechanicum/Adeptus Mechanicus lot there is only about 2 or 3 sculpts that I'm not that keen on. They allow for a lot of conversions and imagination too if so inclined. Defintely gonna be making some kitbashes and conversions along the way - I have a ton of spare bitz now from the Gw kits - lol. Thx again for the compliements and looking in

Starting getting some paint down on the Scyllax. There's something beautifully sinister and creepy about these guys. They should fit rather nicely together with the Magos I think. Still not sure if I should leave that one armour panel bare metal or fill it in grey like the rest......

That is one of the best Cairn Wraith variants I've ever seen (and being an INQ28 fan, I've seen MANY of them). Amazing job!

Cheers Mymearan Wanted that darker more sinister Inq28/Blanche etc look. Came out pretty grand

To be fair, the plastic Magos Dominus is a pretty nice model as well (pretty big too- comes on I think a 50mm base), but Jan's captures more of the Blanche style.

The plastic Dominus Tech Priest is a gorgeous model. My favourite GW character model of last year hand down and easily (He comes on a 40mm base). The only thing I didnt like about it was the 'popehat' head option - which is fine bcs I didnt have to use and after a bit of choppy chop, was able to use it for the Magos instead

I like the single metal panel in the carapace. Serves to break it up a little and adds that mish-mash aspect that suits the Mechanicus.
