Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Might as well green stuff a fleshy growth upon the Warpsmith's backpack, to go with his leech-like head and the face on his breastplate. Tentacle-like mechatendrils look "wrong," and thus, are perfectly appropriate for the Warpsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 @Bjorn Firewalker It will probably be a fleshy growth ^^ Still not sure about the tendrils tho... Anyway I didn't had a lot of time with the confinement/job overtime/family, but here's what I've done new so far I'm still pretty happy with it. The robe has been a bitch the make but I think it will looke great when it'll be painted. Let me know what you guys think Stay safe Azekai and CyderPirate 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 The hose leading to the mouth of the face on the Warpsmith's breastplate, reminds me of those a "death stench" biological weapon infected, in Ito Junji's horror manga Gyo. Did Nurgle bless the Warpsmith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiju Soze Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I, personally, am a fan of mechatendrils for CSM; they tie in better with the look of power scourges and laser tendrils on other miniatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Little weekly update I'm quite happy with the robotic/prosthetic arm. I'll add a robe sleeve and a combi-bolter (angelbane?) to the other ''regular'' arm. I tought about it and I'm gonna make both tendrils and servoarms. The melee ones will be centiped like tendrils (Or I'll try to make it centiped like...). The two lower ones will be the melta and flamer mounted on servoarms Givemead and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the warpsmith iis almost done Let me know what you guys think, it actually means a lot to me Graymane, Doghouse, BadgersinHills and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Is the mechatendril from a third party? YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Is the mechatendril from a third party? No, It's made of plasticard... It needs some more details but I'm quite happy with it segmented look. I personnaly am not a fan of the classic rollmaker mechatendrils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiju Soze Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 That mechatendril looks fantastic, but incredibly fiddly to make. YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Fantastic stuff, you've done a great job on the Mechatendril and the green stuff is really nice. I especially like the bionics, your steady pace is really paying off. :tu: YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrakul Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) That is fantastic plasticard work there, kudos on building from scratch. The claw at the end especially with all the joints looks great, and properly dark-mech. Feels like he should be holding something in his hand that he is pondering and prying at with the mecha arm? Also now it seems he needs more on the other side of his back to balance it out. I know you now have an aesthetic from your scratch built arm to match, but have you considered talos/cronos arms? That kit is a goldmine for dark mech Edited February 16, 2021 by Syrakul YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thanks a lot mates That is fantastic plasticard work there, kudos on building from scratch. The claw at the end especially with all the joints looks great, and properly dark-mech.Feels like he should be holding something in his hand that he is pondering and prying at with the mecha arm?Also now it seems he needs more on the other side of his back to balance it out.I know you now have an aesthetic from your scratch built arm to match, but have you considered talos/cronos arms? That kit is a goldmine for dark mech So yeah, the claw is going to hold a damaged necron warrior head. I think that an heretek would have a keen interest into necrontyr tech... There will be 3 other mechatendrils/servoarms. 2 on each side of the fleshy growth. And I'm aware of the little talos arms ;-) but I have another project for them Should have more to show soon Stay safe guys Givemead 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
