But now he has a mind of metal, and wheels.

Hi folks, just wanted to start off by posting a picture (long time lurker, first time poster).

I'm slowly collecting a Taghmata Omnissiah army. I'm not the greatest kitbasher in the world but I wanted to give a go at building a small Ursarax cohort.

Here is my first one before I sorted out the base for him. How have another one done apart from a little bit of Green stuff work.

Obviously, they are still heavily WiP.

I have another one that I've started on that has had his lightning claws upgraded to power fists.

Arms need a lot of work to fit to the torso and I need to sort out the shoulders. Just blu-tacked it together to get an idea of how it would work.

I'm hoping to keep this log up and maybe include some fluff (which I always struggle with).

Hope someone likes this .

Can we see a size comparison of these guys?

[Grotsmasha]

Those are some super cool looking kit-bashes :tu:

 

Cheers,

Jono

Teetengee: Here is a size comparison next to the one Thallax I've managed to get painted so far.

Lying down

As normal

They are about the same size as a normal Thallax, but more top heavy. Hope that helps.

Grotsmash: Thanks

Those conversions look very cool indeed - a little more tubing and some mechanicus symbols would be the icing on the cake. ;)

[Darth Mustard]

out of likes :)

[Blissful Brushes]

That's an awesome kitbash!

As long as their heraldry is a white hand I will be satisfied..

[Dosjetka]

The Treebeard quote gets my personal approval :P

 

That aside, they look damn cool; very nice kitbashing. I'm looking forward to seeing more models from you :)

[MindOfMetal]

Thats fine Darth, really happy that people think they are worth a like.

 

Blissful, what did you mean by white hand exactly? I assume you mean iron hands, but I am not sure.

[Dosjetka]

I believe he was refering to the White Hand of Isenguard (as mentioned above, the title is a quote from Treebeard and concerns Saruman) :)

[Blissful Brushes]

The White hand of Saruman of course! You chucked in a LoTR quote!

[MindOfMetal]

Sorry, feel stupid for asking now. Seeing as my mechanicum are allied to my iron hands it would make sense. Just need to practise it first lol.

[Urauloth]

That kitbash is amazing and I'm pretty sure the use of Tau kits like that is the most illegal kind of tech heresy and I'm screaming

 

You actually are obligated to make some kind of reference to Isengard in your army now. The forums will hold you to this.

[MindOfMetal]

Well, I do have a magos I have been working on thats still heavily WiP.

Instead of Grima Wormtongue, Grimy Cabletongue? Name is definately open to suggestions.

[Olis]

Magos Upsilon 6R1M4 Upsilon? It's very clunky but I'm just clutching at straws here without being totally obvious. ^_^

[MindOfMetal]

I think clunky works when it comes to the mechanicum

[Dragonkin Arenis]

You could go along the lines of Oilsredan's concept for his name, and you could also give him a name by which he is more commonly known by individuals outside the Adeptus Mechanicus, such as Zentar, Strandax or Queue (the last being a reference to Bond's gadget-man). It's all up to you :)

 

Ursurax look good, looking forward to more! :D

[MindOfMetal]

Its been a little while since I've posted a picture-been busy with real life and not doing a lot of painting unfortunately.

I decided to make two Jet Pack equipped Magos Primes.

Plan on giving him a photon gauntlet.

He is massively WiP-plan on trying to do his hands like Iron Man.

[Olis]

Looking good so far. What torso is that?

[Battybattybats]

Really liking your conversions. Great use of the banshee parts particularly.

[-Brutus-]

I like the look of your floating Magos there!!

[KaosRaptor]

Looking good so far. What torso is that?

 

Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's from Tau Commander Longstrike. Maybe.

 

Nice converting dude, the Magos Prime is looking especially sweet so far!

[MindOfMetal]

It is the tau tank commander, with a head from the meridian miniatures kickstarter. Did try to green stuff the robes around his legs originally but it really didn't look good.
