Think the Thanatar is going pretty well. The next model is a tester for a future plan and being used for my infantry in this force.

I've got a lot of work cut out for me to try and finish this army in the next month. Oh well....

Update time.

Three of five are now completed and it's starting to look pretty boss. Can't wait to do the last two.

Today i achieved a thing.

For the first time in a very long time i have complete one of my crazy custom projects to a full army scale. I now have a full 2k mechanicus tau army.

Thanks man!

 

Well tonight is possibly the last night i'll be playing these in a tournie so i don't have time to take higher quality pics and solo pictures but here's a new one;

Hopefully i can put in a good show. So far they have won 2 of of three matches and gone through to the knock outs as leader of the group for points. Next up a 3 c'tan/tranny c'tan list with wraiths and stuff, so i'm fully expect to get mashed and KO'd, but it's been a fun ride.

Remember that mechanicus army i finished? well.... I never actually got around to the photo. Bar one model it's time for that to happen, so here's my finished army. I'm now ready for the new releases and set to expand my empire of the machine spirit.

I think these are just amazing! The new releases are good and cool but you have that rustier, edgier GrimDark feel in your models that I feel the GW painting teams just don't have. In my head this is exactly what a Mechacium force would look like deployed in the field!

Thank you for the kind words chaps!

I've been working on getting that red down and it took about 3 different bottles of red and a few oil washes to get a nice deep red tone. As for mechanicum, you can pay me no higher compliment. I'm really excited about tonights release, i'm already drawing up a shopping list.

Shortly after which this was the scene on my desk;

I don't much like the vanguards heads, so i'm switching them out for the range heads, but i they are very defiantly staying as rad-weapon vanguard. I love the design of these and can't wait for spider tank.

How about some close ups 001011001.thumbsup.gif

Soon. Once i get the paint on them and bring them up to standard.

Time for an update. I've converted a new model to count as an inquisitor with 3 servo-skulls. Due to the skitarii's lack of characters it seemed like a good chance to mix things up.

Time for a new model, my first Knight for my army (one of between three and five).

The scheme a variation of forgeworlds house patterns but not the same. As my mechaicum/mechanicus force is expanding, growing and evolving I have yet to craft a lore to fit, and thus no house name has been chosen yet. However the early scheme is done, giving me a nice base from which to work. Lots still to do though, particularly with the metals;

The extra spure really opens up some cool conversion options.
