Converting & Painting: My Army
Here are some pictures of all my converted and painted Adeptus Mechanicus models from GW Oxford's cabinet nicely laid out on their pretty cityscape board. This is probably about 1,200 pts, possibly 1,500 pts if I put in Wolf Guard and upgraded my Rune Priest & Iron Priests. In my complete model collection I've also got an additional Protector and Protector Support squad, plus I'm working on my first Feral Skitarii squad (to be Blood Claws) and my Avatar of the Machine God (C'tan / Daemon Prince). Once the Assault squad is complete I'll be up to about 2,000 pts, hurrah!

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!

Converting & Painting: Techpriests
I couldn't really run an Adeptus Mechanicus army without some Techpriest / Techmarine / Iron Priest equivalents... So here they are! One is the classic Techmarine, the other is the excellent Imperial Guard Techpriest, and they're accompanied by converted servitors.
The servitors are made from Catachan legs & bodies, with Space Marine scout heads, mostly ork heavy weapons and (oddly) Goblin arms. Just because I had lots of Goblin bits lying around from my Imperial Guard Grot conversions, and Goblins have good straight arms.
The combat arms are from a classic NecroMunda Pitslave and the GorkaMorka ork bionics blister. Good old days!
Painting is the same scheme as the rest of my models. Note that anything power-weapony has green on it.

Converting & Painting: Razorbricks
When I first made this army, it was entirely footslogging. But, two nights before my first game, someone told me I had to have more mobility so I had to get razorbacks or rhinos. But how to make them fit my Mechanicus GrimDarkGothick theme?
I was broke at the time, so rooted about in my bits box and saw what came out... Luckily I found some shockingly painted & rather beaten up an old-school rhino and predator. With the tracks removed and stuck onto a few Cities of Death bits, I created my mobile shrines to the Machine God (rapidly nick-named "The Razorbricks"). The gun-servitors are made from Catachans with Ork heavy weapons. They're magnetic, so I can easily pull them off and stick on a hatch to make them into Rhinos.
The paintjob is, as always for me, rather basic and tabletop-quality: black spray; Boltgun Metal drybrush; details picked out in various reds, whites/greys & bronze; Badab Black wash. Does the job, quick & easy!
