Rimbamboozle Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I am finally thinking about plucking up the courage to possibly having a game in the future (maybe).

Rimbamboozle Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 Thanks very much chaps! Captain, have you had much luck with iron warriors and do you have any preference on secondaries? I am jealous of your plague marines. Do you get reasonable mileage from them?

Captain, have you had much luck with iron warriors and do you have any preference on secondaries? I am jealous of your plague marines. Do you get reasonable mileage from them? Sadly I have not won one game this year, that is because my meta is filled with 1ksons and Tzeentch deamons, and I have no idea how to stop the immortal wound spam, doesn't matter how much armour or toughness you have against that. I have tried cultist screens, filling up every slot possible with psychers to deny, havocs with reaper autocannons, but sadly nothing works for me. So I have shelved my IW army till the 10th. Sadly I get tabled with my DG too. Last match I really played I was tabled round two, so maybe I am not the person to ask, as I am turning into more of a painter. Cpt.

Tallarn Commander Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 What a gorgeous army! Yeah, my CSM qet tabled most games as well. But the new Codex means I last til Turn 4 or 5 whereas before I was getting tabled by Turn 2 or 3. :) I think the Iron Warriors are a stronger army than my Night Lords though so hopefully you'll do better.

techsoldaten Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 This army is outstanding. The conversions are such a stark contrast to the push-fit monopose models I see all the time. The fact you were able to maintain the theme so consistently across every model speaks to your skill as a hobbyist. I was hoping armies like this still existed. Thank you for sharing.

Rimbamboozle Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 Thanks very much for the kind words chaps! I am a jealous general and I hate the idea that someone would have the same model as me. But at the same time, most of my model concepts have been pinched from instagram/pintrest.

NinjaBadger7 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 @Rimbamboozle These look utterly amazing and exactly what I expect DM to look like :) Can I ask what your general paint method for the army is? (and how you do the grime/dirt look) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377794-rims-dark-mechanicum/#findComment-5919580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimbamboozle Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Thanks very much mate! I paint the flesh (skin) in ragarth flesh. The tumors in a mix of 2:1 nocturne green, khorne red. Base in standard mech grey. Bone in mournefang brown. Then throw a large amount of typhus corrosion on all the metal and wherever i fancy. Leave overnight to dry. Then drybrush flesh with wytch flesh. All other non metal stuff including base with screaming skull. Lightly drybrush the metal with leadbelcher. Paint some metal sylax bronze to stick out. (Sometimes i then use a vedegris paint on these bits) Then fill a bath full of nuln oil and climb in with the models and frolic in there for a while with them. (Jk but i do use a heck of alot of nuln oil) I also made a green wash but i cant remember how that i might use too. Hope this helps! It takes very little skill, time or steady hands so it suits me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377794-rims-dark-mechanicum/#findComment-5919776 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Ruminahui Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Those are all gloriously creepy. BTW, your descriptions of what the pictures are were a bit messed up so I tried to fix them for you - if I messed that up myself, feel free to refix them.
