War Ensemble - Sport The War! War Support! Dark Mechanicus

Propaganda death ensemble
Burial to be
Corpses rotting through the night
In blood laced misery
Scorched earth the policy
The reason for the siege
The pendulum it shaves the blade

The strafing air blood raid
 
Hello!
 
I've finally gotten around to getting some models converted for my Dark Mechanicus Slayer themed army. Once I start painting, you'll see some work heavily influenced by Larry Carroll 
 
Worked on a Vanguard Prime and Ruststalker Princeps

Not sure if I went overboard here, but he'll count as my Warlord with Pater Radium

The other 2 models are an Alpha for a unit of Arc Rifle Vanguard and a prototype Infiltrator using a Skaven Plague Monk.
 
I've also got a Knight, 2 Ironstriders, 3 Onagers, and 30ish Vanguard/Rangers being worked on. Oh yeah and some Kastellan conversions, Techpriest Dominus and a Datasmith.
 
So do you think the Pater Radium Alpha is overdone? Also, I'm looking for some suggestions for basing.
 
Thanks!
Some Sicarian Ruststalkers, let me know how you all feel about them :)

Glad you guys like them!

 

Sorry...I've been playing Sword Coast Legends. 
 
Here are some Sicaran Infiltrators I'm working on. I've got the bits left over from building Rust Stalkers, and wanted to make some Infiltrators. I've had quite a few ideas, but settled on making them using Skaven Plague Monk bodies. Then I've cut and readjusted and found bits and bobs to make them a little more high tech. I've also used Ranger arms, and cut down the size of the Taser Goads a bit. Hopefully I've achieved a Chaos Infiltrator sort of look.
 
Looking forward to critique, I'm open to suggestion!

Ruststalker Alpha "with some paint"? Dude, I know people who'd be happy to call that good tabletop standard and varnish it as it is. He looks great. Are you done with him? I'd suggest the base could use a bit more contrast or depth, nothing a dark ink or wash can't fix. But, honestly, he's great.

 

Personally I think your Pater Radium Alpha above is somewhat overdone. He looks too, I don't know ... too weighty. For his posture he's got too much gear and arms attached. I'd try to trim it down, but maybe that's just me.

 

Keep up the good work and sharing!

He looks really good!

 

One comment though; For the OSL that you'r doing around his tail, I think it ends too early/abruptly. If you look at the second and third photos, the glowing part of the tail extends past the fold in the cloak that you stopped the effect at. I think it needs to be extended closer to his backpack.

 

Also, are you going to be making them explicitly Dark Mechanicus with Chaos stars and such? (Dave Taylor has a really simple freehand star method that coult be used on the cloaks, I think. http://davetaylorminiatures.blogspot.com/2010/01/mark-of-dark-gods-bonus-post.html )

Thanks guys, and excellent observations!

 

As much as I like those pincer thingies, I'm going to take them off and save them for another datasmith I think. I'm also going to carve up that Pater Radium 'Smoke Stack', and mod the skull a bit. I want it to really glow...and I think I might greenstuff some flames on there. Of course I've never done that, but I'll never learn if I don't do :)

 

Roland thanks for picking up what I missed in the OSL. I was a bit tired I guess...I'm going to try hitting it up right now. I love Dave Taylor. I was lucky enough to somehow end up at a table with him at a brewery during GD in Baltimore...with a bunch of other people that knew some very interesting things. Which reminds me of seeing Jes Goodwin at Games Day in Chicago right next to me showing off his sketchbook...absolutely mindblowing. 

 

Chaos stars will be incoming :)
