CombatVet Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Thought I would start posting up my new force and you can't have Mars without Mr. Crawl. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/HarleyXJGuy/Ad%20Mech/20180115_221324.jpg Tyriks, Bjorn Firewalker, Vel'Cona and 8 others 11 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

CombatVet Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Thanks all. Forgot to add that the base is not done. Still need to add some grass to spots.

CombatVet Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Not sure why but my tank loving AM friend does not like either of my Dunecrawler. You can also see here how I have decided to go with grey instead of cream as my secondary color. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/HarleyXJGuy/Ad%20Mech/20180116_064441.jpg MithrilForge, WarriorFish, MagicHat and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/#findComment-4984290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Great colours, the red and blue particularly complete the scheme neatly :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/#findComment-4984298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombatVet Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 So there was this Mars army without Robots...

anarchistscourge Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That red is really vibrant and pops next to the grey! I think you made the right choice not going with the bone colour!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Good job on Cawl and the Kastelan. The Onager is well painted, but it needs unit markings to distinguish it from other red-painted Onagers in other people's armies.

CombatVet Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Never thought to give my tanks markings to distinguish between mine and someone else's tanks. Interesting. Seeing how I have never even seen another Ad Mech army though I will probably just stick with the paint job I have for now. Moar Robot! http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/HarleyXJGuy/Ad%20Mech/20180117_070201_1.jpg Edited January 17, 2018 by CombatVet Bjorn Firewalker, WarriorFish and MagicHat 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/#findComment-4985408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Interesting re-pose. It's certainly dynamic, but I can't help feeling the end result is a bit lopsided. Did you pin the knee in place?

CombatVet Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yeah it is a bit lopsided. At some point I will pop him off and build up some cork for his right leg to sit on since he is not pinned.

Tyriks Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yeah the second one looks halfway between taking a knee and falling over. Might just be the camera angle. Certainly a more interesting pose than the default!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Never thought to give my tanks markings to distinguish between mine and someone else's tanks. It may be due to my personal bias and a desire to fill in the big space on the Onager's front hull, but I doubt you're the only person with a red AdMech army. Displaying unit insignia is a way for your Skitarii to show pride in the forge world they serve, to minimize the risk of fratricide (combat stress can make Imperial allies misidentify the Onager as a Chaos Defiler, and shoot at it), as well as for you to nonverbally say, "See these awesome-looking models? I assembled and painted them."

Magos Takatus Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I agree with Bjorn. Decorate your models however you wish, but a little extra time to add some unit markings just takes the model to the next level. Anyway, I like the highlights on your first robot, it reminds me of the sort of art style from the Borderlands games, particularly the grey on the arms. :) MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/#findComment-4985877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombatVet Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yeah I feel what you are putting down in regards to markings. Would look great to fill up the dead space on the front with a little something and I will at some point. Just right now the army is not even complete and I also have two other armies I am putting the finishing touches on so will be a while.

CombatVet Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) WIP sorting out my balance challenged Robot. He is free of his base with minimal damage and as a fortuitous bonus the glue holding his front ankle joint in place broke. Will be nice so I can reposition his foot on the new base. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/HarleyXJGuy/Ad%20Mech/rps20180119_185254_743_1516405992443_1.jpg Edited January 19, 2018 by CombatVet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343402-combatvets-mars-force/#findComment-4988134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
