WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi Guys, Not entirely sure if this really belongs in WIP rather than ad-mech, if so my apologies and feel free to move it over. I figured I'd post up some pics of some of my work for my ad-mech army. Mine is a slightly different flavour in that it's more tech-guard than some mechanicus armies I've seen. Love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Without further ado, here's some pics! http://a.imagehost.org/t/0674/DSCF6689.jpghttp://a.imagehost.org/t/0641/DSCF6691.jpghttp://h.imagehost.org/t/0934/DSCF6692.jpghttp://h.imagehost.org/t/0229/DSCF6696.jpg http://h.imagehost.org/t/0254/DSCF6717.jpghttp://a.imagehost.org/t/0538/DSCF6704.jpghttp://a.imagehost.org/t/0051/DSCF6719.jpghttp://h.imagehost.org/t/0340/DSCF6708.jpg This one is for all you PA fans out there: http://a.imagehost.org/t/0243/DSCF6710.jpghttp://a.imagehost.org/t/0043/DSCF6714.jpg I think I'm most pleased with the medic conversion complete with adjustable wrench! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morcus Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Nice. What do you have in mind in the way of officers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Cheers guys, I'm happy with progress so far. I'll take a group shot later so you can see where the full force is at. Officers are a bit tricky, I've got the FW Titan Tech Priest but I've also got the skulz ad-mech unit, so I'd really like to use it, but it's a bit of a random selection of models! I'll also post up a wip of my heavy weapons support teams, would like to hear some feedback on those as well. For the record, to anyone wanting to do an ad-mech army, guitar wire is a nightmare!!

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 As promised here's some more pics of what I've been tinkering with: Heavy Weapons team, apologies for the blurriness, I forgot to switch on macro, but I'm sure you get the gist. The weapons platform is built from two of the C.A.T. Servitors from the space hulk box, a grenade launcher and a few other random bits. There will be probably fived of these in total. http://h.imagehost.org/t/0969/DSCF6722.jpghttp://a.imagehost.org/t/0955/DSCF6726.jpg Here's a group shot of the army so far, loosely organised into 3 squads at the minute, I've not put together a final list yet. http://a.imagehost.org/t/0265/DSCF6729.jpg Some of the models in contention for officer posts, FW techpriest, DM-only Techmarine and an Enginseer, I'm also considering the PA techmarine I posted above. http://h.imagehost.org/t/0363/DSCF6732.jpg Finally, the creme de la creme of my collection, the skullz mechanicus set: http://a.imagehost.org/t/0263/DSCF6734.jpg This is possibly my favourite sculpt by GW of all time: http://a.imagehost.org/t/0460/DSCF6736.jpg My Tech-Magos, who will be the army leader: http://a.imagehost.org/t/0774/DSCF6737.jpghttp://h.imagehost.org/t/0568/DSCF6738.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morcus Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Are you planning on feilding your infantry as Platoons or vets? Are you going to have any rough riders or abhumans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 I was going to go down the platoons route, not entirely 100% sure though. As for abhumans, possibly, they would certainly make for good conversion fodder! I've built another HW platform, will try to post pics later.

morcus Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 What kind of strategy do you play with this army? I'd be quite tempted to use priests as stand ins for commissars and have quite alot of them (they work well in my experience). I think AdMech ratlings could be quite cool and I can think of a huge number of ways to represent them (Servo skulls is probably the coolest). What plans have you in the way of armour? I think you should include some sentinels, I think they'd fit well in an exploritator force because of the mobility and I'd like to see the way you'd model them.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 To be honest, I've not really looked too much at a strategy for the army, I wanted to build up a FoC legal force and build from there. I do have a spare penitent engine which got damaged which I could look at building a sentinel from. I might dig it out soon and have a play around with it. The only bit of armour I've got my eye on at the minute is a leman russ exterminator, if that's the one with the dirty great plasma cannon on it?

morcus Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 plasma is the executioner, though the exterminator is a good variant (TLAC), I've fielded on for almost ten years now (First in my SW army which I started when the 3rd ed codex came out). I would say you best bet as far as starting is a platoon and a unit of vets to fill your comulsory troops and a HQ of your choice (I'm restructering at the moment but I would recomend having a command squad or Commissar as your basic). Obviously you want some engineseers. I think a Pyker battle squad would fit the fluff quite well as something based on (an) electropriest(s). Maybe some ogryns as preatorians, I never play guard forces without either Ogryns or Rough Riders to make up the CC defficit. You've inspired me to get back to work on my army, though my biggest ambition is an all Rough Rider army with mounted officers and the like but It would be alot of work for an illegal army. Snipers with Bionic bits all over them would be cool, maybe with the old guitar wire to the eye thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Cough Cough... Apologies for the dust guys, it's been a while since this vault was last opened! http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljbukdWQn21qd9z3no1_500.jpg Since the arrival of the Grey Knight Codex and the NDK, I've finally found the potential to build my Knight Titan, here's my WIP Coteaz. He's a bit of a requisite as I don't want any GK in the force. Hope you like, I'll post up the Knight Titan once it starts to take shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMan Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Looks sweet dude. Id love to run a Mechanicus army at some point in the future. Masses of Jannisary-esque Skitari and some big old robots. A man can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
