Adeptus Mechanicus - Techpriest

Hi all, I thought I'd add a cheap HQ to the growing AdMech army but looking at my collection I already had a Titan Techpriest from the Reaver Titan and he languished on the display shelf - it was about time he got into the thick of the action, so he was re-based and a few additions of pistons and details then done.

In his first battle he went toe to toe with a Blood Angels Chaplain, admittedly on 1 wound, but managed to strike the Chaplain down and survived the battle!

He was already painted in Mars Forgeworld colours by Rich Gray who painted the Titans, so it was a win win and now I have a cheap HQ unit to help repair Mechanicus vehicles during the battle.

Here he is next to the actual Warlord HQ choice, the Techpriest Dominus dwarfing him in size, but a good cheap extra option.

And here is something I'm working on eventually, another Techpriest Dominus using spares from a Belasarius Cawl mini. I purchased Belasarius Cawl in the Triumvirate of the Imperium box set back in Warhammerfest but only just got around to checking the contents and 1 of the 3 sprues was missing (the guns parts), so I contacted GW, provided a receipt from the Warhammerfest transactions - there was a few! - and GW replaced the whole kit, bravo GW! With these leftovers I virtually have a whole mini, just weapon arms and a few gubbins missing, (I have the Ommnissah Axe-not pictured) but I can definitely use them. I removed the crest atop the carapace and trimmed down a few elaborate gubbins, added a spare weapon from the Kastelan Robots and the head from the Renegade Enforcers. Added a smaller 60mm base and a skull to step on, so he will have a smaller battlefield presence than Belasarius Cawl when I finally get around to him!

Cheers, Siph. (5 points for half rather than 10 for a Character)

Cult Mechanicus Tech Priest Dominus

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. Here is the latest offering, again this is from my good blogger-buddy Mordian7th, I've tinkered with the colour scheme, a few green power cables and pipes and the blue plasma glow plus the base to match my own - otherwise all Mordian7th's work, another great painted mini by him. Cheers man.

This is a lovely scuplt, somewhere between a bent over old man and a mechanical critter on eight metal legs that will eat your face off! Mordian did a great job on the vials of liquid I reckon.

I love the rich red colour scheme and the brass/gold bling. Fits the aesthetic of the Ad Mech and the Robots I already have completed.

Only character to be allowed a volkite blaster (S6, AP5, Heavy 3 Deflagrate and he's Relentless) in 40K, those Ad Mech gurus keeping all the nice weapons tech for themselves! The Character himself has lots of nice rules, haywire attack in CC, 2+/5++ save, 5 shot Burst macropistol and Power Axe, plus the nice Canticles of the Omnissiah and Master of Machines (restores HPs or Wounds of friendlies if choses not to fire one of his weapons (Mechandrite Harness allows him to fire all ranged weapons) so out of pistol range, this guy is a 'medic' too.
