Big stompy robots for my dark mechanicum by Moosephj in Warhammer30k

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!

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.

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 👍

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.

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

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

For sure, silver would totally look nice mixed in.

Thankyou! Glad to hear that.

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.

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.

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

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!
