Dark Mechanicus Cult

[Steam_Giant]

Ok, so i've decided to convert my Dark Mechanicus - Deamons of Chaos army into using the Skitarii Army list. This should be an easy project where I dont need to do large batches of painting, although some re-basing will be in order. I think I should only need to buy a few items to be at a good points level too.

So i'm going to use this thread to document, show off and hopefully get some motivation for this project.

#1

This is my Tech-witch and Deamonic constructs which will be filling the role of Cybernetica Datasmith and Kastelan Robots. They need some re-basing and some highlights to fit my new bolder (cartoony) painting style

Great start! Where are those crab-bots from?

[Steam_Giant]

Thank you Red Skulls.

Its the AT-43 Wraith Golgoth

Its on three legs btw

A test model for a Corpuscarii Electro-Priest. I should get this unit 10 strong this week.

That's a very cool build! Pop the lenses with a brighter red and gloss it and it should pop a lot more

Thanks, yes that's a good idea to improve him

Some work on my Arch-Heretek Domius who will be my warlord of the Junkatta Machine Cult (rubbish picture sorry)

"The Scrap-walkers" - Skraptarii Vanguard of the Junkatta Machine Cult

Main unit, and two auxiliary units with Plasma Calivers. This unit just needs a prime

Nice conversions, making more elctro priests? The current one looks great with the ungor head. arch heretek dominus is also a winner.

Thank you Kronos, I think I will sculpt robes onto Gors to make the fulgurite priests.

In the meantime here is a pic of my Sicarian Infiltrator conversion

Ok So i have my first game lined up this saturday, and im desperate to have as much painted as possible, so expect some "tabletop standard" painting and below for this week until i an return to smarten them up. Hopefully you will like some of the other kitbashes I've done. and there may be a WIP photo or two.

In sad news, ive stopped work on the electro priests after reading their codex entry

Skaptarii rangers:





And a 2nd Tech-witch to go with my robots

Cracking on with my Duneskimmers - here are 2 armed with phospher blasters (they badly need some OSL) and 1 armed with a neutron laser

This army is just so original - love it

That compliment means a lot, Thank you.

UPDATE:

A family photo of the Legio Cybernetica, they are not finished, but I needed them base coated for the game on Saturday (more on this later).

In other news, I've been invited to join the bloggers on the Objective secured blog so keep your eyes peeled for my updates

That's one hell of a creepy log!

[IncrediSteve]

Some lovely corruption going on in here, I especially fancy the Tech Witches. :chrome:

Regarding the electropriest conversions, you can probably still get some mileage out of them via the Inquisitorial Henchmen. The Inquisition ebook got updated to 7th edition as well. You could probably count them as Ministorum Priests with little to no changes necessary, or depending on how they get armed, ArcoFlagellants or Death Cult Assassins are also reasonable alternatives.

I wouldn't be afraid to keep the option of using them as Electropriests open; whether we like it or not, Admech will have new rules within 5 years, and terrible units like this generally get big buffs in reduxes to try and sell them.

Look really dark. At first look they remind me the video game bioshock.

Thanks for posting

Good point, i like the idea of using them as Inq units, because id really like to summon daemons for fluff reasons. Lets hope they release one combined codex next time.

Yeah its not a totally original idea, but im having fun creating monsters. Thanks

Ha, a very interesting mix of AT-43 bits there! I always wondered whatever happened to that company, they made some really sweet models.
