Red Skullz Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Early beginnings of my Dark Mechanicus army. I'm starting with the knight that will ally with them while I ponder on how I want the main army to look like. Heres an early WiP of Alton the Reborn. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1434_1_zpsnmxr56kw.jpg More pics https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/category/dark-mechanicus/ Apostle of the 30th Host 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306864-from-the-fallen-forge/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethernitas Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I dig the conversions but the paintjob doesn't really fit the Dark Mechanicus - I guess its WIP? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306864-from-the-fallen-forge/#findComment-4024669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apostle of the 30th Host Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Great to see another Dark Mechanicum force out there! :) Really looking forward to seeing more of this! Any thoughts on a paint scheme (or even just colour palette) for that knight and the Skitarii yet?

CommodusXIII Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I dig the conversions but the paintjob doesn't really fit the Dark Mechanicus - I guess its WIP? I think he's remodeling/repainting an old miniature of his - or, at least, that would make sense from its name.

Red Skullz Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 @Aethernitas: cheers mate :) it sure is WiP. I bought this one second hand, it was already assembled and painted. I broke him apart and began to build him up again @Apostle: thanks, not enough of them :) Yeah my idea for palette involves yellow, but I haven't tested it to see if it works. I will use my good mate Skrall's House Morbitos knight as a mental reference at least. @Commodus: correct :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306864-from-the-fallen-forge/#findComment-4024934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dez Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Nice work so far! What kit are the skulls on the tabard and shins from? I'm doing a Dark Mechanicus army as well, I need to start a plog!

Red Skullz Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 @Immersturm: Undivided. I want to focus on the corrupt mechanicus but not through a specific deity. Then the deity take center stage. @Dez: Cheers! It's from the Mortarch of Nagash kit in fantasy. You do, go for it mate :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306864-from-the-fallen-forge/#findComment-4026901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skullz Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 I' m really enjoying working on the knight so I decided to make a rider and a cockpit. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1445_1_zps5m06qvgz.jpg More pics of interior https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/category/dark-mechanicus/ walter h and Targetlock 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306864-from-the-fallen-forge/#findComment-4027512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Looks beautiful! I'm making my first knight now, but decided to skip the cockpit detailing for the first one and more or less do a straight build.

Red Skullz Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Cheers Dez :) in some ways I regret it but I reckoned I'd regret it more in hindsight if I didn't do it.

Dez Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Actually I think it makes sense to do a total rebuild/conversion in a used model rather than new. I always like to build the first new and convert heavy after.

Red Skullz Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yeah I agree there :) though I'll be doing little stock building for this army. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306864-from-the-fallen-forge/#findComment-4027979 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skullz Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 @Immersturm: ;) I have something new today. My project on the Dark Mechanicus will be approached in the same way as with the Merciless. Here is the second miniature I've started on Nephthys my Ashen Tear assassin. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1451_1_zpsxi5ea13n.jpg More pics https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/category/dark-mechanicus/ CommodusXIII, Scribe and Targetlock 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306864-from-the-fallen-forge/#findComment-4029329 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frater Cornelius Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 'Roids much? :D Looks pretty good. I love the twisted style. My only gripe is that is does not really look like a T3 model. I think it might work better as a Kastelan. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306864-from-the-fallen-forge/#findComment-4030695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Aye, proper Bane style ;) He's basically naked and exposed so it'll work as well as a robot skeleton don't you think?

Frater Cornelius Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Well, toughness is how well and sturdy you are built where is armour is your save. Look at the DE Grotesques. It has T5 but basically a 6+ save by virtue of having thick skin.

Red Skullz Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 I don't disagree on that, I'm an ork player also but I'll still run them as stalkers. Wysiwyg is represented by equipment and base size and theme will be important here :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306864-from-the-fallen-forge/#findComment-4030717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
