Update 6th June 2014 Yet another bloody project!!! Heresy era AD Mech

[Commander Vyper]

Now I just have to sit and wait for all the bits I've swopped/ordered/nabbed to arrive this week, then the fun begins. bwahahahahahahahahhaa!

Looking forward to see what you come up with.
The stuff that you have already done is excellent.

Always thought an Ad Mech force was one of the best looking 40k themes going, thought of starting one myself about 5 yrs ago, but the thought of doing any more armies that would be 'usable' in 40k put me off.
When I 'finished' (You never do!) my Guard, I vowed that was it.
Takes too long but I still love the projects others do when it has a really dark gothic feel.
I think yours will be one of those, so VERY interested in it.

[Commander Vyper]

Cheers mate and thanks for your contribution to the Machine God, they will be well received.

Oh and just ordered four sets of these from Blightwheel:

Be good for chopping and changing servitors around and for my tech-guard.

Having seen your latest aquisition, a little tip that may be useful;

Try using plastic Goliath bodies (from Necromunda) as the basis for servitors.
With those little gizmos it would be easy.

I made a bunch of Necromunda Pit-slaves that way years ago.
Easy!

I might as well give up and go home:

I thought the Hoff's ADmech were fice...these are bloody fantastic!!!!





The challenge with the time I have spare is to get someone ever close to this quality, we'll see.

[Commander Vyper]

Got a Bob Olley Ad mech priest through the post today from Mason (cheers mate), and my warmachine Cryx scrapthrall & Necrotech and Cryx The Withershadow Combine turned up from gifts for geeks:





Lovely figures in their own right so will make sure I do a good job in converting them.

Also. first time I've used Gifts for Geeks, massive range from all the usual big boys and a few little un's too, spot on both with price, free postage and delivery this am, ordered Sat pm.

Blightwheel stuff turned up, but only 3 1/2 of the four items ordered, have contacted them so hopefully this will be addressed. Also a couple of sevitors and a techmarine from Aliensurfer, off to the stripping vats for you guys, (cheers Scott).

Nothing else to report, some other bits and pieces arrived yesterday with the incursion stuff so thanks to elysium64 there, (ta Simon).

Just waiting on one cryxlord for my magos and those bloody high elf legs and we're good to go.

[Commander Vyper]

Had a few hours last night to kill so started to try to mock up the options for Skitarii:



(Still waiting on those bloody high elf legs so just used cadian ones for now).

Two types:

Type one: using Empire flagellant torsos, pig iron heads, cadian arms, (with the shoulder pads removed) and lasguns with some necro tubing, (experiment lasguns that would suit ADMech). Still to GS cowl/hood etc but doesn't look too bad, trying to get the 'look' without serious amounts of time needed to be spent.



Type two: cadian body, (waiting on those bloody legs), Pig Iron head, mixture of cadian arms and necron support arm, (forearm and upper arm shortened), Necron weapon shortened with lasgun barrel tip added to the shooty end! Again going for an experiement lasgun look, a little more exotic this time and giving a little void dragon nod in places.Again still to greenstuff the cowl/hood, and will lose the other shoulderpad too. Chopped down vox radiopack on both, probbaly lose the vox speaker too. Will also be added scopes and targetters to both and some cabling etc...



Not bad as I said but need to find a way to do this quicker, appreciate these two were prototypes, but 2+ amrs is too long for two partial minis, this should speed up though now I know what I'm going for.

Greenstuff and clean up next... oh joy!

[Chaos Wolf]

They look promising so far.

[Commander Vyper]

Last things have come through today, the last cryx figure I was waiting for and the set of 20 high elf legs... let the cutting commence!

[Ramshackle_Curtis]

Ive got quite a few bits that might interest you:







There is a whole bunch of them here:

I know Curtis, cheers but not the direction I'm looking for.

[elysium64]

Hope you have a use for other bits I sent you, always liked the FW techie guy, but I'm never going to do a 40K army so hope he can be used.
Point of post saw these on TTGN and though they might be useful to you

possibaly a bit big for human but would suit Mech or Ogryn

[Argonor]

Been wanting to use some of those Micro-art Studios minis for an Adeptus squad for AGES... never got around to it, though...

Keep up the steam! VERY inspirational!
