Dark Mechanicus Conversions

[Jamesb_05]

I've been planning on making some dark mechanicus themed cultists to go with my hellwrights. My plan is to use the skitarii ranger / vanguard models, however use the bits that are left over and add them to the neophyte hybrids from genestealer cults (was originally gonna use plague monks but they're too... ratty)

 

I want a real :cussed up chop shop look to them, has anyone here done any dark mech stuff before? Let me know I need some ideas :)

Take a look at this thread. She has some Skitarii ranger on page 3

And here i was going to suggest using genestealer cultists hehe...

 

If you were thinking of plague monk, maybe give the empire flaggelants a look? they've got similar worn robes, without the whole rat thing. Really outdated sculpts though, might look a bit wierd with the new super-detailed models

A few of them would look cool mixed in, like machine god fanatics :)

I've made some using almost entirely skitarri with a few AdMec and CSM line (daggers + flamers) thown in. Just painting them something other than red can go a long way.

 

Few pictures here, more in the painting thread linked in my signature.

I've seen some Dark Mechanicus conversions that use Necrons models that looked really good.

Yeah I was thinking maybe using the canoptek spyder legs to attach to a tech priest dominus for a hellwright
