Maybe model a spell effect? Any spells you often use? Something akin to the event traitor librarion:

That's a neat idea, however I don't play so I have no idea what I could do there.. worst case scenario I finish my projects before comiting to another one ahah but thank you for the idea !

Well I think I'm gonna go for techmarine and see where this goes,

Super early WIP shots for you guys !

Wow looks good. May be remove librarius iron halo? Or replace with othe Omnisiah sign?

Totally! I'll also plan on Filling most of the runes on the armour just in case! Will keep working on it and post some pictures and i'l count on your keen eye if I miss some details

Small update:






Bear in mind we're still in the "rough" part of it and still early WIP !
Any inputs appreciated

Kept working on it throughout most of the night to be honest.
Here are some updates and a rough assembly of what he should look like !

Shoulder mounted mechadendrite



Servi arm



Front assembly



Back


I'll have to work on that axe. And was planning to add an mounted heavy bolter that would follow the arm movement but it might be overcrowded..
Had the idea of adding an old devastator backpack to power the heavy servo harness but not sure either..

Anyway thanks for checking in !
See ya

what you gonna do with the greaves? they now looks strange.
also, IDK if you have one but rectangular Omnissiah axe from old metal IG Techpriest would fit him perfect.
Also hi doesn't look like techmarine, more like Warpsmith

The greave will be refined to have a cog like lining .
I will definitely look into it thank you for the input !
Really? I was afraid of that but don't really see it.. worst case scenario he be a spiritual heir of Dantioch !

You mean this one ?

Not really seeing the warpsmith tbh. I am liking it though. That is one chunky boi. Something seems to be missing to me though. I could not say what mind you.

It's looking too much like a regular techmarine in heavier armour. Maybe look toward myrmidons for inspiration? Gotta find some reason to warrant terminator armour, what does it add?

Walking power generator? In the context of nids it could be a walking cardiac arrest for a bigger organism in the form of delivering a massive electric pulse or so. When power would be borderline impossible to generate otherwise.

Wasn't planning to anyway so if it feels like it I don't mind but wasn't going for the warpsmith look anyway !

I like where your mind is though !! I'll add some armour on his chest between the tubes as it's quite barren for sure.
My head canon is that he's wandering around with one or more salvation squad under his command to retrieve and salvage anything worthwhile on different theatre of war..
So yeah walking heavy behemoth is fitting but I don't want to add a sleigh filled with random bits ahaha.

I could potentially incorporate a teleportation homer though..

Thank you very much for your hindsights ! Lot to think about !

Yeap, this axe.

Thank you for pointing that out I do like the design so it shouldn't be too difficult to make it I guess ?

Yeap very simple and cool design. I can shoot it up close for you if needed.
