They have completed basing. I got a desert table so sand some rocks and maybee a bit of barbedwire and some grass is good enough imo. So yeah i am on with the dark mech

propper planning and then sitting through it will get things done

Anyways smoll Magos either auxilia or just second HQ and a first kastellan which were in the HH mothballed but i rekon a magi toying with well, decimator construction will probably also experiment with the older modells of the normally available casttellax. Which is incidentally what this will be a count as.

Congrats on getting that army done! I am loving your dark mech conversions, very nice work.

Good looking force! Both the Alpha Legion and Militia Attachment.

I really like your approach to conversion work with sketching it out before hand.

I am looking forward to seeing the progress you make on the Dark Mechanicus

Cheers

My bad! I didn’t zoom in on the phone screen and read them as white (must be my old eyes!). The shield on the castellax counts as works really well, nice choice

Your dedication to painting a Guard army was wonderful Not Online!!!. Exalted.

Cheers,

As a forced connaisseur of glasses, i know the pain. Yeah the shields fit perfectly and i still got some.

Many thanks Captain. At some point i have to reenter the terrain game...

Anyways. Slightly possessed formerly mothballed and upgunned Kastelans.

Pain suffering and a broken hobby budget...

Yeah Contents, preplanned as stated per my hobby successfull degree of mass armies planning.




And the first endresult:

Even more Scyllax with rotorcannons.

Woah! That Scyllax is amazing! The pre planning really paid off and the extra wires really tie everything together well!

Ooooh yes, gorgeous wraith scyllax mate !

Many thanks. Here have 5 more.











Dark mech army project finished building, next step, painting.... oh boi...

Very very sweet, good luck for the painting !
What are the matches for though, you do not plan to put them on fire do you ? That would be heretical ?

unclogging the glue of my choice.

Burning the small metal bit of it free, since i have an unfortunate habit of touching the plastic with it and then clogging it since its a solvent(?), typicall plastic glue.

Certainly not to burn my collection

Metal layer one.

Anyways, on with the show.

Drybrushed black, darkened the metal on the bots and coppered the Decimator.

But most importantly, behold, Barrels of doom.

Good progress there Not Online!!!

Cheers,

CB

Oh and i also forgot the Archmagos and the baby magos.

Sinister colorscheme, I love it !

What an excellent colour scheme, that orange works so well. The Sauron eyes on the Kastelan robots are brilliant. The additional visors and the armour plating make them look very fearsome.

Love the Eye of Sauron bots!

Many thanks you three.
Funnily enough, it's the camera that massivly improves the scheme not the scheme itself. Atleast when you look at it from close.

Anyways, Finished the bunch and the decimator.
The friendly face of the operation

The fuel of the operation

The normal perspective




And the finished force


Many thanks for looking.

Also: " You shouldn't be afraid of the person with the key to the underworld, or not just. You should be first and foremost afraid of the person with the crowbar and the will to use it on the door to it, the windows and the walls."

Anyways, on to my knights of the scales:




Fully magnetised, tommorow i need to greenstuff the little bit in the middle and finish them, so as to start painting these until the times FW delievers my next pile of shame.

You do have an active workspace Not Online!!!

Cheers,

CB

Testing for Breachers and or veterans, give me your thoughts.

Well.

Flying hydras.

I think breachers would be great with the shields and helmet additions.

Also I must say, the diamond pattern on the jet-bikes is very very sharp!

Great work Not Online! Yep I think the shields will look awesome.

This had me a bit in a "suffering from success" loop not gonna lie many thanks tho

Olthannon wrote:Great work Not Online! Yep I think the shields will look awesome.

I am still debating if i shall make 30 breacher hoplites of merely 30 veterans without the shields but well, yeah..

anways, more progress.

Wooow these are magnificient scales on these scimitars !
