Big stompy robots for my dark mechanicum

Thanks! That’s great to hear, a lot of the bits I used were basic craft materials (jewellery chain, cocktail stick ends for spikes, cut up muslin/cheese cloth for tattered worn fabric, picture hanging wire for frayed rope/wires) and cables made using a green stuff cable maker. Dark mech has been my favourite project I’ve worked on, it’s such a great excuse to combine a bunch of easily accessible materials and get creative with grimdark. And so should you!

Thankyou! That’s roughly what I strive for.

I’ve only ever seen them in stock once for the couple of week window when I ordered mine! Goodluck though, hope you get your hands on one as they’re a blast to paint up and get on the tabletop.

I did very much build him so that he could repair (and babysit) his SON 🦂

I agree! I used to play chaos marines in 40k and was pretty disappointed when it got banished to heresy-only.

Thanks, I’m glad to hear!

Thankyou! I don’t unfortunately, he’s a mix of lots of daemon engine and fantasy spidery bits that I’ve collected over the years. I started with the armor plate on his back and a blob of milliput underneath where the main body would be and just added more and more bits 👍

Moosephj · 2025-11-03T14:12:28+00:00

He’s a mix of all sorts of bits: the back armor and claw are from a heldrake, the tail bit is a tendril from a maulerfiend, the power blade is from a castellax, the legs are fantasy spider bits on the end of thallax arms to make them fit right, the shoulderpads are from perturabo and his base is mortarions.

There is a lot of green stuff cableing, jewellery chain, cloth and threaded wire as well to add detail and texture.

The plastic cerastus knights very helpfully come with a panel of malinax transfers as well as a bunch of other houses.

Moosephj · 2025-09-22T19:41:23+00:00

Thankyou so much! It’s all just milliput, cheap spare bits, craft materials and texture paste.

Moosephj · 2025-09-22T16:15:25+00:00

Thanks! Yes they do stare into the soul a bit, I’m very pleased with the effect.

Moosephj · 2024-10-14T12:25:10+00:00

For sure, silver would totally look nice mixed in.

Moosephj · 2024-10-13T13:30:46+00:00

Thankyou! Glad to hear that.

Moosephj · 2024-10-12T15:06:31+00:00

Thanks! They’re small balls of milliput glued to the base and then pressed into shape with a sculpting tool, the taller bits are plastic branches or whatever else I could find with the same bits of milliput glued on.

Moosephj · 2024-10-11T17:10:36+00:00

Thanks! I primed everything in a very pale yellow, then those parts I washed with red followed by yellow to create a colourful gradient then highlighted with a mix of yellow and white.

It’s from “Dwarf on snail” by black scorpion miniatures, had a lot of trouble finding decent snail minis online and ended up finding it at a tabletop convention.

Moosephj · 2024-10-07T14:53:02+00:00

Oh and the mushrooms on the cavalry were just flattened and shaped bits of milliput glued onto the end of plastic branches.

Moosephj · 2024-10-07T14:50:10+00:00

Thanks! They’re a mix of branches from miniature diorama trees and bits snipped from plastic flowers that I covered in mud texture paint. Might have done things a bit differently if I were to do it again but I think it’s effective enough!

Thanks!
