WIP: Mechanicum HQ & Troops

WIP: Mechanicum HQ & Troops

Today's progress, not entirely finished prior to spraying, just need to add the Mechadendrite combat array to the models but did not have a hair dryer with me at work, so that will be a job for tonight. I will need to find a way to store and carry these game to game as the arms and the claw on the tops connection point not being large enough for pinning.

The Magos is from the Forge World 40k range linked here Tech Marine he is going to be used as my stand in Magos Prime until I am happy with the conversion that I am working on.

WIP: URSARAX COHORT

First post of November sees my progress on my Mechanicum fast attack choice. I picked up the Ursarax Cohort at the same time as the Talos for the Magus project. After a couple of days of soaking and drying they got assembled last night.

The models are crisp and clean with the option of Lightning claws or Power Fists for an additional 10 pts per model.

I am still not set on the colour scheme the white which was previous in my mind is not hitting the mark with me so going to try a couple more test colours and post the choices and see what you guys think.

Over lunch I was chatting with Jay about how I see these fitting into my army, but seeing that he is my regular opponent I did not want to let to much out of the bag. But suffice to say I think I see 2 squads of these one armed with power fists and the lighting claws. Clearly very different roles on the battlefield, but fun to use.

I am getting closer to my starting 2000 point list and will post once is complete.

What is on your table at the moment, be great to hear from you and what you are working on.

So this is my first post on the floor as it where.

I am up at whw for Wednesday gaming night. Was not to happy with my choices available to me for the arch magos and spent the week looking around at the ranges

I was drawn to the talos and I am now in the process for De dark eldaring and mechanicum the bejesus out of it.

I am happy with where I am so far but realised I am a long way from finished

Yes yes I know I promised praetor would be finished but what type of hobutterfly would I be with less than 5 projects on the go.

WIP: Word Bearers Praetor Part 2

So work continues on the Praetor, all the armour is now complete and the daemon infused flesh needs a bit more inking and highlighting.

Then it will be onto the words of Lorgar to adorn the armour plates. I am going to try some free hand symbols on the larger legs plates.

Aim to have this finished this week.

So been thinking about my Loyalist army for a while now and having painted nearly 50 marines and assorted figures for my Word Bearers I wanted a bit of a change.

Having just finished Mechanicum novel in the Horus Heresy series, I have found myself drawn to the forges of Mars. I really like the idea of the robots striding across the battlefield unflinching from the enemy fire, before unleashing a barrage of fire.

I am currently working on the colour scheme, carefully choosing to avoid red, thoughts so far are an off white creamy colour for the armour plates, the metal will be a combination of steel and gold

Will  post some pics later this week
