new techrpiest bits to plays with, plus some official unit I might be able to use my heavy admech infantry as

Archmagos Terminus

Hastarii

Thulia Ghuld, Archmagos Terminus of Mars and new Adeptus Mechanicus Hastarii (who themselves have two variants) are heading to Warhammer 40,000.

base painted and did some broad highlights on the scrolls, as they need to be done first, so I can do all the writing on them before final assembly and the rest of the highlights

been figuring out the metalica scheme, but I realise I've messed up on the build and it's probably too late to fix now

I forgot to make some green stuff robes to partially go over the stomach plate, and as a result there's too much red on the mini compared to the game art

A few more fancy Scaevola pictures

started on the painting

This eccentric class of warship was ideally suited to Mars' broad plains and shallow seas. Their overland speed made them ideal for retrofit as mobile TAC ARM bases during the Nibiru War.

skeleton for the arms: (mostly thanatar) shoulder socket and ball, forearm(without the clamp parts) as upper arm, elbow as-is, castellax inner shoulder armour as outer forearm, kataphron weapon as inner forearm, kastelan shoulder ball as wrist joint and finally a kastelan hand

animation of both the series and movie is great, and you know it has good music because it's a Yoko Kanno soundtrack

escaflowne fantasy knight mechs cool, that is all

zenithal primed

I initially primed with a grey, but after a few coats the red plastic and green stuff was still visible in a few places, so I went back to my usual chaos black primer for better coverage, then did grey over that, and then sprayed a white from above

It cost $0.00 to support a mech artist

mix it and roll it out flat on a clean surface (shape doesn't matter right now), then leave it for about an hour so the surface is a bit firmer but it's still workable, then it's easier cut it into clean strips with a ruler and knife, and then you can make small cuts/indent/folds for extra details

Last bits on Videx himself, head crest thing, and a candle servoskull since I liked that part of his 1 design

the base is inspired by this area in a 2 trailer, since it's fitting, mechanicus style flooring plus scripture/candles, which I made with plasticard and leftover bits

Thanks, that's my conversion/proxy for cawl, I wanted something a bit more unique to lead my custom forgeworld and it was inspired by the tech priest on the admech codex cover

that one is pretty much all dunecrawler parts and one of my simpler builds, the main onager chassis/cab is just attached backwards, lower down on the section where the legs join. The eyes/mandibles are all from the original kit too, the only parts that aren't are some wires and a sicarian head

One important thing about kitbashing and converting minis is how recognisable their parts are

You want some parts to be recognisable, for proxying units and army design coherence, but less recognisable parts makes a build look like something more unique and original

I go over this in more detail, explaining why you want more or less recognisability at times, and some methods for customising parts to make them less immediately recognisable, in this free-to-access patreon post I just uploaded

In the war room filled with the incense of their fallen, cremated battler brothers, the Wardens of Invictus plan their next attack.
