Inquisitor Hein Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Howdy, everyone Some of you might already have seen my House Cadmus Knight project in this forum. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303014-house-cadmus/ Anyway, there is no such thing as "too many knights", so I am building some additions right now: I found some old action figures at home (in the earliest stage of a conversion). Well...my Forgeworld Magaera and Styrix had some armour plates (back, shoulder, leg, loin) left. Together with some bits, I do try to increase the detail level of the action figures, to turn them into halfway acceptable knights (two rescue/repair machines). Well...not sure wether I will suceed, but I will give those two a try http://i.imgur.com/1HQvyhi.jpg Also decided to cancel my "Obsidian Knight" project, and turn him into a "House Cadmus Knight" conversion. As weapons, I went for a missile launcher and battle mace, and the shoulder pad/leg guard having those classic "Space Marine Shoulder Pad Dalek Bumps" The other knight is a design I came up with when reading the "Questors Magaera" background: It said a Magaera contains that many ancient technology, that it is mentally rather "unhealthy" for a pilot to log in. Yet, the Magaera still looked too "normal" for me. So, I gave that knight a rather insectoid/mantis arm pose, and the three missile pods breaking the human symmetery. To cut a long story short: A machine body that really SCREAMS it was not really made for human mind-link/control. http://i.imgur.com/xoXHiKI.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303072-house-cadmus-reinforcements/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighGothic Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Not too keen on the second repair night, but that mantis knight looks awesome! I may have to steal it for my chaos knight Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303072-house-cadmus-reinforcements/#findComment-3954138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Hein Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 So, the two Adeptus Mechanicus Repair/Maintenance Knights are nearing completion (at least construction wise). http://i.imgur.com/1OWRDmE.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dhK3RnH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/x6yrYJn.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303072-house-cadmus-reinforcements/#findComment-3958867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Hein Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not really too much update on the repair knights (hope to get the last details done over the week, and prime them over the weekend). But I just wanted to post this pic, showing those Knights with their future background scenery. (And I also have to admit this is a tad of a show-off pic, patting my own shoulder for having one of those. I know... I am a terrible person who should not be allowed in decent company...) http://i.imgur.com/W6ylKYY.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303072-house-cadmus-reinforcements/#findComment-3961101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Hein Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 One more Knight with a Plasma gun added http://i.imgur.com/nUtZpVD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3pgPdHp.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KMRH6CV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/UhyAtB3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303072-house-cadmus-reinforcements/#findComment-3964998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Hein Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Got some Maulerfiend tentacles, and decided to add them to a repair knight (which admittedly now sports some sort of Lovecraftean look...well...the Admech was never too keen on exactly following the human shape, so I guess it's okay ) http://i.imgur.com/m4xPsKf.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303072-house-cadmus-reinforcements/#findComment-3971615 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 If you didn't have such a unified look between all of your Knights already, I would have suggested you paint that one in admech red.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Impressive work, with innovative use of other models in kitbashing. Excellent work. I wonder what kind of rules you'll write for the repair knights?

Inquisitor Hein Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 @Bernard>Thx:) @Reinhard>I will actually paint them in Admech colours. (I was thinking of Techmarines, who also abandon their chapter colours for Mars Red) @Bjorn Firewalker>Tbh, I have no idea. I might occasionally use them as proxies (e.g. the Big Flamethrower should make him eligible as alternate Acheron) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303072-house-cadmus-reinforcements/#findComment-3972576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Hein Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 ..and I did not even actively search for it. Stumbled in a LGS -a few days after that thing was sold out- and they happened to have one The Admech Knighs are de facto completed (1-2 Bits on empty spaces, and then they can be painted). http://i.imgur.com/UOwyWOM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/yW9E90Y.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303072-house-cadmus-reinforcements/#findComment-3973474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

helterskelter Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Incredible conversions, cool paint jobs! The recovery knights have the look of some weight behind them and are potentially my favourite of the bunch Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303072-house-cadmus-reinforcements/#findComment-3990126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Hein Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thx:) Judging from reactions so far (over various forums), this guy here was "the masses favorite conversion" of my Household. http://i.imgur.com/4d9XcFj.jpg Though - when being completed - I assume the Admech Knights might give him a run for his money.
