Chief's Adeptus Mechanicus Log

[ChiefScout]

Welcome to my humble thread
Well after years of wanting to start and Adeptus Mechanicus army, i have finally decided to take the plunge and do it. I'm a big fan of all techno-based things and love the fluff behind the Ad-Mech (and i'm starting a degree in robotics next year ) I'm Using the Witch Hunters Codex for a number of reasons, many of which i have forgotten.

I don't claim to be a great painter but hopefully I will improve as this project progresses, the main bits of interest will be the conversions however.

This is my first ever log so we shall see how it goes...


The Plan
<I'm assuming some knowledge of Ad-Mech in this next section, any questions about any of these guys just ask>

I plan to make my Skitarii from Vostroyan Firstborn with there fury hats replaced with GS hoods and other Ad-Mech bits. My inquisitors will be regular or forge world tech-priests and my Electro-Priest, Henchmen, Chrono-Gladiators and Tech-Priest Assassin will be converted from various sources. The Immolator will be made from lots of different bits and the Knights from a defiler. Probably.

At the moment I am thinking of using Fantasy warriors of chaos as the basis for my Protectors but some input thoughts etc here would be useful. I'm going to stick to GW products for ease of getting hold of and such.

Since i have none of the required models I'm heading of to GW next week and there should be some pictures then as well.
If i can find a camera i will probably put some photos of various other projects over the weekend.

Right, a wee taster:
Its not Ad-Mech but something similar...

okay the only similarity is the toy soldiers, but still
Few of the more exciting conversions from my first 40K army (All plastic Tyranids) and 3rd (Space Pups 13th Comp). The painting isnt great on the nids (and some of the pups) but i'v always been better at converting than painting. Apologies for the poor pics, my camera sucks.

Termies:


Long Fangs - looking back the faces need some more work, oh well...


Custom Zoanthrope - Was damn proud of this fella at the time (about 5 years ago)


Custom Lictors - Sneaky, Jumpy and Hungry; the space marine is in the colours of my regular SM army

***

On a Ad-mech side of things i'v spend quite a bit of time looking round GW's site and at my bank balance and have decided what to start off with. My only problem now is a colour scheme, I'm thinking dark red or dark purple. Red is more tradinal for ad-mech so i will might go for that. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Sheep - thanks, spent a long Sunday with an online name generator to make those
