Captain Mike Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 A bit of background. At the white dwarf 30th birthday, they did a 'lucky dip' for anyone who came in with a beard. I came in with a white beard, so i got two lucky dip bags. Now I got tonnes of fantasy orks from the old starter box, which i have no use for. So I decided to go a little mad and make some insane creations, which could only come from the deranged mind of a tech magos just like me. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/AMHeavyAbomintation1pic12.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/AMHeavyAbomintation1pic1.jpg Comments and crits welcome, but just remember this is for fun.

sword brethren Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 hmm interesting, they are a bit... different. sorry im not sure what to say, thats not a bad thing by the way. you have done a good job making orks into something imperial, i like it, its unique. one thing... you have a human head on one of the orks... seems a bit heretical thats all.

Captain Mike Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm going to paint it up heretical like, so it's killed a heretic. I'm really not sure what these guys are :) they were jsut random creations of my imagination. They'll find a place somewhere i'msure.

Scathainn Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I actually really, really like these, that's a damn good use of plasticard and bits, sir. Good job and continue to make strange creations! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189223-adeptus-mikalikus/#findComment-2240361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Excellent work! Really like what you've done there. Lets see some paint on them!! :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189223-adeptus-mikalikus/#findComment-2240587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Painting could be a problem; its too cold. I don't think the black spray I have will set properly. I'll give it a go,when I can brave going outside to the garage. Stupid british weather. Glad people like these! I admit they are a little (as in, very) random, but I'mtrying to make them look imperial/admech at the same time. Most of the parts are Imperial, mostly tank crew parts and some Guard heavy weapon bitz.

Captain Mike Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Well, some paint! http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/AMheavyabomination1painted2.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/AMheavyabomination1painted.jpg For some reason, I always end up painting conversions much worse than my usual stuff. I think I'm jsut in a rush to make it come alive. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189223-adeptus-mikalikus/#findComment-2241633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neophyte of Slaanesh Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I think they're adorable but I'm definitely sucker for things with cute eyes. Very original, maybe a little Tim Burton-esque? Anyway, loving them, make more soon!

Ferrus Manus Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Thought I'd post here, instead of on BC. Paint is starting to look good. I hoping your going to give him the bright red that the AdMech is known for.

Divergent Reality Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 nice conversions. it is a fun bit of admech work that is not based off of imperial guard or necron models.

Newtype Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Those are inspired! It represents an AdMech view of not wasting anything, even the dead Ork bodies leftover from the least battle. Pump them full of nano juice and then replace the parts you don't need with guns. Waste not, want not.

Captain Mike Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 The madness continues! I've got about 8 Termagaunts from the Battle for Macragge kit, so I decided to AM them up. I think at this point I should say that these guys ARE going to be used as Imperial Guard rough riders, and most of these models will be in my Guard force. I'm using them as a kind of AM contingent. I will leave it to the admins to decide what I can put up. But for now, enjoy! http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010085-1.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010084-1.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010083-1.jpg Some paint on an abomination http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010051-1.jpg Painted Command Unit http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010081-1.jpg And some AM storm troopers.

I can see it now, on the Boardwalk, 25 cents a ride, but will you get off? Great kit bashing, keep up the good (psychotic) work.

Brother_Kalis Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 ITS CRAZYYYYYYYYY !!! Id never do such a thing, because i just dont have the time as I think assembling guardsmen and Sm is just tooooooooo long. I dont see myself doing such psychotic fluffs just for fun, so I do admire your work. great, keep it up. Makes me laugh. And think that if 'eavy metal guys would go crazy, it would look pretty much like this. Looks like it's straight out of the psychiatric wing, dammit.

Who says it's not :tu: I merely let the insanity out my left foot and into my brain, providing it doesn't go anywhere near the 'kill' zone Funny thing is, you all are complimenting these, I took them into my local GW and they got completed slagged off.

Captain Mike Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hide your tools, cos the men in white coats have missed me again. The madness returns! First off, I though this is meant to be a mad tech bunch, and yet my standard troopers were, well, standard. So I sought to rectify that. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010121.jpg And I realised that my abominations needed some kind of 'spotter', so this is a WIP, alongside a scuttler. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010123.jpg And some WIP abominations http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010122.jpg I will return again *laughs insanely* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189223-adeptus-mikalikus/#findComment-2409694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I want to see this army painted and on the table. Am thinking this is a good start of a Skitari battle force. Even in a tourney they could not deny it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189223-adeptus-mikalikus/#findComment-2410091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 More shizzle! I decided my Scuttlers would have a (part) human commander, so I set about making this guy. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010124.jpg I did consider giving him another arm, but that didn't really make sense to me. Who needs it? So he has a radar dish instead. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010125.jpg And a little ammo runner for an abomination http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010126.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189223-adeptus-mikalikus/#findComment-2410633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
