the damned artificer Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hi B and C I have been building an Adeptus mechanicus army for about 2 years now, it is NOT intended for gaming which is why I allow myself to spend so long on it, all models in the army have some sort of conversion work done to them except for a very very few models that was exactly looking the way I liked them to look. First of my freshly finished Knight Palladin, the model was painted and finished for the Knight contest over at http://z6.invisionfree.com/adeptusmechanic...c=622&st=15 (please go and vote for the one you like the best) http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/6.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/010420101183.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/55.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/22.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/1.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/44.jpg More to come :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196607-the-mighty-mechanicus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divergent Reality Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I like the lens eyes on that one. It is a bit cleaner than the standard sentinel cockpit head.

the damned artificer Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Now haven't updated this in a while but since last update I've been working on some titans First the reaver, scratch built work in progress, 40 cm tall so far. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/090720101723.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/090720101719.jpg Then to the big one, this bad boy stands approximately 60-70 cm in height, but have misplaced my big ruler so not exactly sure. Also a work in progress obviousely. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/080720101714.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/war1.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/war2.jpg Hopefully I'll have all the basic construction on the warlord done in a few days and then it's on to the sanding and filling department :huh: C&c welcome :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196607-the-mighty-mechanicus/#findComment-2461423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Angry Marine Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 It's like I just drank 5 gallons of awesome sauce with a silly-straw. ;) In other words, absolutly awe-inspiring! Any chance you have a tutorial somewhere cataloging how you made that beatiful knight? -Mac Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196607-the-mighty-mechanicus/#findComment-2461812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofmanynames Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 These guys look really good. I can't wait to see the big one finished and painted. A tutorial would be nice, if you plan on making another knight.

the damned artificer Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks guys :) I have no tutorial, sorry, but I can explain how it's built if you are interested. I have some pre- paint pictures too but not really any of the construction itself. I might do a knight warden at some point, but for now it's the big guys that'll have work done to them :) I made a lot of progress on the torso tonight, I'll post pics of it tomorrow.

the damned artificer Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 I took a scale pic now that I've made some more progress on both the reaver and the warlord. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/170720101760.jpg and a side view, I think I got the proportions somewhat right although it desperately needs it's shin armour to look more beefy. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/170720101761.jpg And progress on the reaver, it got all new feet as the old ones didn't look as I wanted them to. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/170720101759.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/170720101758.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196607-the-mighty-mechanicus/#findComment-2465218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the damned artificer Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Did some work on the legs, mainly around the hips and waist to beef it up, also added a bit to the thigh on the inside. The latter on the inside of the shin has been modified to be the track for a lift that sits on it's stand by position just under the knee joint. This will act as a rig for attaching a maintenance platform for leg and lower body repairs and service checks. the idea came to me when I was playing around with parts to beef up the legs and I actually think it's a real nice detail. Anyway on to the pics http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/230720101776.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/230720101775.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/230720101774.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196607-the-mighty-mechanicus/#findComment-2469833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the damned artificer Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 So got a little done on the titans, so here's a small update. The reaver: I've ditched the wip cannon for the left arm, instead deciding that a lasblaster was more appropriate and looked way cooler. So I did the basic work for the 3 barrels and tagged them on the arm mount to take some pics. I also tagged some possible detail to the shoulders and have magnetised the arm joints so that the arms can be removed under transport/storage. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/290920102018.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/290920102014.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/290920102013.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/290920102021.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/290920102016.jpg The lasblaster is still only barrels, that's why it looks a bit puny. this will all change when I get the rest built and put the gun shields on.

I have some pre- paint pictures too but not really any of the construction itself. Definately interested!! I can see that the legs started life as a Defiler kit, but where did the rest come from?

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Wow, my head can't even begin to start putting that together! I see parts from the Defiler, Basilisk & Cities of Death, as well as a great deal of plasticard and brass work. Did you use any other kits?

the damned artificer Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hehe I sometimes forget how many kits actually got incorporated in the build :P But the kits you mentioned are spot on, and then there's a sentinel kit, land raider parts, leman russ parts, some bretonian men-at-arms parts, 2nd ed. land speeder parts and that SOB tank I can't remember the name of, old ork bike, cadian heavy weapon parts, terminator parts, 40k barricades parts and probably some more but can't remember atm. The brass parts are from the 40k basing kit :) This is also why I haven't got the courage to do a real tutorial on the knight :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196607-the-mighty-mechanicus/#findComment-2530473 Share on other sites More sharing options...

the damned artificer Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 I got a little time on my hands tonight and thought I'd go head on with the apoc launcher for the reaver, and here is the basic structure. It's tagged on atm as I didn't have time to build the mounting yet.

ShotgunFacelift Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 great scratch building! Though I do think the Knight's could do with a bit more armor to bulk up the shins and torsos. Right now it looks like they wouldnt hold up against much after their void sheilds went down. Looking forward to more!

the damned artificer Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Okay so it's finally update time. A lot of things have happened on the reaver, it is all done except for the torso, crew and banner and painting has begun. I've been lucky enough to borrow an airbrush so the painting will hopefully be less painful as airbrushing really is quicker for such a large model. Well enough of that, here's some PIP pics and the unpainted pics of the painted parts will be uploaded in a few days. the head carapace, it has had the yellow completely done, and I'm quite pleased with it. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/carapase.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/130120112256.jpg And the entire engine first without armour plates and then with. The torso still needs details before being basecoated and painted and hopefully I'll get it done in a few days time. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/130120112249.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/front.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/side.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196607-the-mighty-mechanicus/#findComment-2615449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Caedrius Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Absolutely incredible work! have spent most of the afternoon reading through your 2 warseer blogs! I would greatly appreciate a "bits list" for your Knight if you could find the time to do one. Specifically what bits went into what part. If possible, that would be amazing!

the damned artificer Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks for the nice comments guys :) Well Brother Caedrius, I'll see if I get the time for a full list of the bits used, it's quite a lot. And thank you for the nice comment And Sons of Horus, I have built the reaver and warlord to fit the fw scale, even though I like them to be really big, but who's got the space for that ;) More painting has been done. The head got itself a gold trim, which is painted with airbrush except for the final highlight which is drybrushed on. with the masking tape still on: http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/masking.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/mask2.jpg Without the masking tape: http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/140120112263.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/post-masking.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/140120112265.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/140120112267.jpg A size comparison with a FW warhound: http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/size-front.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/sizeside.jpg And the engine basecoated red: http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/opside.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/sideviewbasecoat.jpg And after the two highligt stages: http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Mighty%20Reaver/sizeviewhighlights.jpg Feel free to comment, there's still a long way till it's done.
