Servitors energized
Bouargh posted a blog entry in AM Not-Stygies - A Blog about building a new Army
Hi folks, I needed some distraction from the black robes of my (populous and numerous) Night Goblins for the World that Was. Time to resume work on the AdMechs, starting with the Servitor clade and the kitbashed Seer I prepared in Sept. It is a small step into coming back into the fray of cybernetical sociopaths, knowing that I still have some models I initially bought for CtA25 but did not unbox yet. The Servitors have been painted as per my usual colour scheme. But this time I musta dmit that the blue pyjama is not necesarilly giving the best outlook. It is globally OK but I feel like the scheme that works on the Skitarii is a little bit out of phase on the Servitors. Probably because it lacks of the balance brought by the trenchcoats.. The same goes witht the Kataphrons, that were balanced by the tracks' colours. Her, well, I dunno. Let judge by yourself: a And some close ups: But who will benefit from this retinue? Well, what about another Seer? Of course I have more than I need so this one is a kind of extra: The pic is not that clear and you probably do not see the whole model. I made a bicolour scheme: bottom (legs and torso in fact) is a bronze (dry brushed) while the arms and paultrons are red with gold trim. It is a distinctive scheme vs. what I am used to apply for my Mechanicum priesthood. The idea behind is that this guy is an ordo reductor affiliate. Smashing hammer, laser cutter to break into fortifications and a pet servo skull... But I then met this piece of fluff: Ordo Machinum — Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum Which might be a seed for building up a small allied party I am thinking about for a while: this guy would become an augmented Inquisitor leading a small party of Deathwatch Marines as an elite force fighting (and surveying) the Mechanicum explorator force... I have some spare models gathered over the time that might be completed with a few Necromunda models in order to get a small retinue. It is time to search for these models and remind where I stored them last time... See you.- 5 comments

So, as the title states, this will be my third return to the hobby. Original time was back in the early 2000's, I had a Space Wolves army that I had painted a pale green, don't ask 12-year old me why. I quickly moved on to a Black Legion Army that included some Rhino Rush Berserkers, the then-new Defiler, and a metal Daemon Prince (you know the one). This must have been 3e-4.5. This phase culminated with a trip to the Atlanta Games Day where I submitted my old metal Typhus model. At this time, I was pretty into the Space Wolf books and also Storm of Iron. As for models, I was pretty into Codex: Eye of Terror, and especially the Grey Slayer models, but this was when I think high school started to really pick up for me. None of the models from this era survived. Fast forward to about 10 years ago, got back into it and picked up some models again and got back to work, converting some vaguely renegade Marines using the Chaos Warrior gloved arms and axes. Not sure what my plan was, and I fell off the wagon again. I think I first got into the HH books here. Second return- Still got a few of those models, and went back through them when I moved. Got some more, this would have been right around the time of the plastic HH boxes coming out. I started working on some fluff and got a ton of bits and did some assembly, but I was mostly working background via the Iron Gauntlet challenge in the Liber forums. You can find some of that fluff here and here. But with Primaris coming out, I felt pretty overwhelmed and kind of worn out, and for whatever reason, I fell out of it again. Finally, this time, I’m ready to finish the Violent Gods, including an update to the fluff that fixes some typos and situates them firmly in the space of the Dark Imperium now that Guilliman is back. My plan is still to run them as Space Wolves, albeit without some of the Wolfier choices in the Codex. Anyway, here’s some models. Counts as GH. Leadbelcher, Nuln Oil, then Agrax. They all need a highlight, and I think the Marine on the right needs some Nuln Oil. The one in the middle was mostly finished as a test, but I’ve since redone his armor to match the one on his left, built when you could load out GH squads with bg, bp, AND chainswords. Oh well. More GH. Same armor layers applied. GH Plasma Specialists. Champion/WG/Lieutenant on the left (needs more bits!), GH on the right. WGPL, WGPL- possibly for Long Fangs, GHPL. Counts as Long Fangs, including a possible RG defector, perhaps you can guess which one (!). I think two more lascannons ought to fill this squad out. I’ve got some Blood Claws, a few characters, and some Rhino’s hopefully up next. Thoughts about the dirty metal armor? I think it needs a highlight, but not sure which color to use. I was hoping that jumping right to Runefang or Stormhost Silver won’t be too stark. Thanks for looking! Edit: thought my old thread was archived, but it is not, and it is in my signature. -
Started making some space skaven, not sure what rules I'll use, but it's mostly a modeling project anyhow. Probably gonna try to add some more chaosy bits and maybe do some vashtor/horned rat stuff. in any case, I need advice. Where should I attach the cannister? Scoot it up to the back of the chair? Beneath the chair? Where it is and make a bracket to attach it? Somewhere on the legs, maybe with some pipes to those too? Somewhere else?

Hi Folks, After a big summer spent on Pointy Ears for CtA25 challenge, I swapped to the World that Was and focussed on my big back log of Night Gobelins. Painting these photosensitive evil dirty little things is not the most difficult color pallet. But batch painting is something common with GObs, and it might become, say, boring (?). After 3 mobs and 2 characters, I needed a break. I came back to the sociopathic cyborgs. just to be kept busy and change my mind. I had this set of Servitors from KT that needed being build. I made the assembly as a retinue for 40K, leaving apart the specialists and their bits so typical of KT. The assembly was smooth, event without instructions (I dropped it in the bin with other trash and realized to late that I did it...). Anotehr activity was kitbashing anotehr Seer. I had a left apart body of a techmarin with servoharness. The harness ended on a SW Iron Priest conversion 5 years ago. But the resin Body was still there. A good base for an Ordo Reductor aligned Seer. Head comes from Sicarian bitz. Big hamme has been built from Grey Knight Hadeberd, with MkIII 30k arms and SM vehicle crew paultrons. Bits from the Servitor clade accesories were used for the back pack, the Lascutter and the servo arm. Other bitz include mechadendrite from Sicarian (again), hammer head from SM assault squad, Servo skull from Devastators, and various bitz recovered from Skitarii sprues or cut from the EngineSeer I kitbashed last year (or is it already 2 years ago) to give him a Mining Lasr.. It will be a Admech character without robes, except for the hood and will probably end up very redish! The shame is that I already get 3 entries of each kind of Seer, so this one will be extranumerous. Unless I start building a Heresy era Mechanicus force some day... But it is time to go back to Night Gobs. I have plenty of Fanatics to be painted? And 5 more mobs. Minimum. See you when I will make another break into the 40k universe.

Hey all! Welcome to my shiny new thread. Some of you will know me from my 30k Iron Warriors and Dornian Heresy White Scars threads that I’ve had up here over the years, among other things. In the last year I’ve moved across the country and, unfortunately, there wasn’t a lot of room to bring those projects with me! A crying shame, I know. However, that has left me with a clean slate to start a new force! No more half-finished projects staring at me, begging to be completed. At least not for a while. So, I’ve decided to go ahead with an army I’ve wanted to put together for years - the better part of a decade, actually. Black Legion! Some of you may faintly recall my Fifteen Fangs warband, which I built way back in 2018, when Kill Team first came out. That was my first foray into CSM, but, after finishing the conversions, the project never went anywhere. Until now! When visiting home a couple months back the models caught my eye and I got inspired to take them and expand them into a full Black Legion force. But more on that later. Today my offering is the one and only, the unmistakeable, Warmaster of Chaos: Abaddon, the Despoiler. Abaddon has been my favourite character in the setting for a long while now - ever since I first got my teenage mitts on ADB’s Talon of Horus, an experience I’m sure a lot of you can agree with. Needless to say - other characters from the book will be cropping up here and there in this thread. Over the last few weeks I’ve chipped away at the big guy, and finally finished him up today! He was an absolute blast to paint, and a really excellent model all around. A few notes about creative decisions: • I decided I wanted that infamous red underglow, and it was the first part of the model I’d say was in anyway completed. Looking at it reminded me of the iconic Horus V the Emperor painting, so I decided to paint that fallen marine on the base as a Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard - with an mind towards making the broken wing statue on the base appear as though it was the wing from said Sanguinary Guard’s jump-pack. I wanted Abaddon, clad in black and gold terminator armour, wielding his father’s talon, and stood over a winged, golden-armoured warrior to look the spitting image of his own father - a sort of meta life-imitates-art take, with an ironic twist in that Abaddon probably would hate to know how similar he appears to Horus in this moment I have captured him in. • Left the cape off - I wanted that classic Abaddon silhouette that alluded to his old mini. Cool as the cape looks, it doesn’t feel like Abaddon to me. Plus it obscures some cool details to be found on the back! • Trophy rack - I had so much fun painting up some of my friend’s armies as trophies mounted on Abaddon’s spike rack. We have an Ultramarines lieutenant as played by my friend James, and my friend Raj’s green-and-black Tyranids. I’ve purposefully left the left-most skull (which has Space Marine Bionics attached to it) partially unpainted, so I can add another space marine faction if desired. Coming up - I’ve got plans for a terminator retinue for Abaddon, with a member representing each of the chaos gods. I also have a squad of possessed, and the aforementioned Fifteen fangs kill team, which I will re-photograph to be added to this thread later on. And that’s all for today folks! Cheers for reading, stick around if you wanna see more! If you want more frequent updates, my Instagram, @jallens40k, gets WIP photos as often as I work on my minis. Laters!- 26 replies

Here will be posted some heavy chaos conversions/kitbashes/scratch builds that I have been working on for as long as a couple years now. I am looking for thoughts, suggestions, and opinions on how to make some really monstrous models. NOTE: Picture quality and size increase drastically later in this plog, so feel free to skip ahead Most recent completed project: current wip:
