Dark Mechanicus project - Something binary this way comes...

[GodEmperorOfMankind]

Thanks for the rundown, I think I'll have to get these parts :)

 

Next question, love the hellbrute rider, how did you make his face?

[Doghouse]

Seriously lost for words mate.

[Torvak Kyre]

 

I'm thinking about doing a heresy Mechanicus army but the fact that there are no weapon upgrades is kind of putting me off. I was just wondering what you used for the gun on the far right model.

I believe if I am seeing right that is a gauss blaster (not sure if that is the right name) from the Necron Immortals. Great models GuitarRasmus been a big fan of your stuff since the beginning of your Death Guard army, can't wait to see these guys painted and all prepped up!

[ephrael]

I've loved every conversion you have made for this army and have been resisting the lure of Chaos that your work has started.  I am doubly impressed by the Exorcists Captain that you have made.  I have always tried to imagine what such a massive astartes would look like since reading about him in the IA 10 book.  Your work truly has done justice to the description and your friend is one very lucky man.  

[Pariah Mk.231]

I have only one word to describe your work ... YOINK!!!

 

I'm totally stealing that Helbrute idea (the non-penitent one), and perhaps the defiler and Helldrake too. I'm trying to go for a nice mix of marines, cultists, mutants/beastmen, daemons and dark mech for my new Chaos army, and most of the stuff I wanted to do didn't feel right for my Iron Warriors.

I'd love to see hexagramic ward scars in the exorcist's skin

Everything is really very good

[HsojVvad]

What is the Dark Mechanicus and what codex will you be using for them? 

 

Wow this is awesome. I love the conversions you did. Since I have no idea what DM is and what codex you use, I might try something like this too if I knew what they were.

Wow, that has just improved that model by at least 666% ;)

 

I've just had to pick my jaw up off the floor after looking through this thread :jaw: absolutely phenomenal work!

Thanks! The Dark Mechanicus is the chaos equivalent of Adeptus Mechanicus - basically AdMech turned traitor. Lots of background for them on Lexicanum and 40kpedia. I'm using the CSM codex, since there's lots of daemon engines, and the daemonic rules gives them the right feel.

Wow, that has just improved that model by at least 666%

I've just had to pick my jaw up off the floor after looking through this thread absolutely phenomenal work!

Thanks a lot - I'm also quite fond of the new forgefiend. :)

[GrandMagnus]

So much awesome on this thread. And so so much mechanical terror, just like the Dark Mechanicus should be.

[GuitaRasmus]

Thanks a lot. :)

I've been really busy at work (school teacher, new school year, etc), and I'm still pondering the colour scheme, so there isn't really any progress. If anyone has some great ideas for colour schemes (preferably with pics), they are much appreciated.

[Stonedog]

One thing I have noticed is how many school teachers are in the hobby...like me. I am a teacher AND the Gaming Club (ccg, board and table top only) sponsor!

 

OK, enough high jacking...

 

As always, these minis are SICK the best single word I can think of to describe them is Nightmarish!

 

Keep up the good work on the table top and in the class room too!

[GuitaRasmus]

 

Oh, and a conversion of Silas Alberec, an ogryn sized space marine captain of the Excorcists chapter, which I've made for a buddy thats starting an army of them:

 

 

 

 

How in the warp did you do the torso on this guy? Looks brilliant. Did you use anything for a base, or was is just a ball of greenstuff?

-Tarvik

Thanks! It was just a ball of greenstuff/milliput (brilliant to work with, 2/3 milliput to 1/3 greenstuff), with the collar lifted from a GK termi.

[ephrael]

Every time I see this miniature I want it for myself.  You have some excellent sculpting skills and your friend is very lucky.

[Gresiloth]

This stuff is totally unreal, full of admiration for you Rasmus. I have a new favourite thread!

 

I've loved the Dark Mechanicus ever since drooling over John Blanche's concept art in the Horus Heresy art book. On that point, I think that solves your colour scheme dilemma with ease - simply study the macabre palette of John Blanche and apply it to your creations, trying to convey the blend of oil, blood, and medieval metallics he uses to give the Dark Mechanicus such an unsettling, macabre feel.

 

I did my best to mimic it, however ineptly, on my Death Guard (see sig), and I'm sure it would work for these conversions too.

 

Can't wait for more!

[Runesch]

A little update on Silas... he is done as of tonight! http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn296/hctaw123/Dukker/Silas_zps5a819dde.jpg

 

I will try and get better pcitures of him when i have to time...

 

Sincerly.

[nurgling6688]

Looks great, love Badab stuff. The Exorcists have fascinated me since I read the Badab War books. Is he really supposed to be ogryn sized?

[Stonedog]

Nightmares made real! Disturbing... But in a good way?

[Skrundle87]

Fantastic work, I only discovered this thread today and got extremely excited as I was about to start work on a dark mechanicus army for the sane reasons as you I simply love the demon engines, I am in the process of making a delaemon Prince out of a dreasknighy, However I may cancel the plan of dark mechanicus now as this work is just amazing and I doubt I can compete

[Scribe]

2 words, repeated several times over on each page.

 

Holy :cuss.

 

This stuff is incredible seriously.

[MordentHex]

paint them! i want to see this awesome stuff painted!

[hushrong]

My eyes have just seen 7 pages of magnificence! Everything in this army is a twisted delight. I cannot wait to see these fellas with paint!

 

I also want to steal that objective idea.

[Forté]

........................................er..........................wow!

[Aristander]

This stuff really is astonishingly good - best example I've seen of a kit bashing.
