I spent the day converting and kit-bashing some more models for my Mechanicum army, creating a Tech-Priest Dominus and a Tech-Marine.
The Tech-Priest was based on GW's model, which is one of the best models GW has done in a long time. I almost didn't feel the need to convert it. I did however change a few things, since I think the original model has too many weapons. To represent the models big gun, I made him a gun-servitor. I still need a servitor to cary some sort of close combat weapon, to represent the Tech-Priest's power-axe.
Wow do I love your tech-Marine! You did a fantastic job to subtly modify the AoS model; to make him look distinct, but he still maintains many of the distinct properties that made the original model look great. His small helmet works very well to emphasize the wonderful bulk of the model's armor. I cannot wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm not yet sure how to paint him. The classic colours of Tech-Marines are red, but since the rest of the Space Marines are this colour, I'm thinking of something else, to make him stand out more. Metallics, black or white will go nicely in with the rest of the army, but they are all quite boring colour-shemes.
