Converting & Painting: Avatar of the Machine God

The Nightbringer has long been one of my favourite GW models, and I've been dying for an excuse to buy him. Now that I'm playing Adeptus Mechanicus, and in our campaign I've been siding with the Necrons, this seemed the perfect time...

This is a very simple little conversion, just to get him finished & on the table as soon as possible. The shoulder pads were Space Marine tank crew, the axe head was a vintage techmarine's, and the backpack is a few Cities of Death bits (to match my Techno-Magi Lord).

Rules-wise he'll be a Daemon Prince when I'm running my guys as CSMs.





Also, have a preview of my Skitarii Assault Maniple, coming soon:

Inspiration: OddJob

I'm working on making a converted C'tan-as-Omnissiah model. Whilst searching for cool pictures of other C'tan conversions, I discovered OddJob's AdMech. And by the Omnissiah they're awesome!

They're largely focussed on huge stompy robots & armoured suits, using Penitent Engine pieces heavily. Rules-wise they're (fascinatingly) Tyranids, with Techno-Magi as Zoantropes, servitors as Hormagaunts and big stompy walkers as monstrous creatures. Seriously cool, and a great colour scheme (pale slightly blue skin contrasting with the red cloth).

Beautiful & inspiring stuff!
