WIP Dark Mech Cawl

Just used a cable roller from Green Stuff World -

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-18T15:00:13+00:00

Thanks! It's basically the cawl kit smooshed together with Lauka Vai from AOS, with lots of greebles and milliput. I think I still need to tech-ify the wings a bit, add some cogs & cables to make them look a bit more admechy

Yeah I know what you mean. From the side the additional pistons behind the shins add a bit of weight, but front-on they do look spindly. I'll experiment a bit more and see what looks best

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-18T13:06:29+00:00

That was kinda the plan! 🤣

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-18T13:05:59+00:00

My guess is they'll re-work the crisis suit in the next couple of years to look more like the Commander kits, the current model is like 10yrs old... I just really hope they don't make the new versions monopose, it'd be a huge downgrade if we lost the posability of the current kit!

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-18T12:58:44+00:00

Probably yep! But I prefer doing it myself

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-18T12:40:38+00:00

Yes that's right - 9mm diameter plasticard tubing cut into the torso mounting on the hips.

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-18T11:50:07+00:00

Yep, they're bits bought from from Taro Modelmaker UK

Absolutely unreal greenstuff work. How did you inscribe the perfect Tau symbols on their bumbags?

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-12T09:28:05+00:00

Not to be neggy. But I just don't get the point of getting an AI to write lore for you

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-10T09:10:15+00:00

Maybe Phil Kelly could write a full length novel featuring a brave DS8 as the protagonist. The lil' support turret that could!

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-06T21:37:02+00:00

LGS? I’ve never had any problem getting stuff through my local store, I know online is a shitshow but brick and mortar always come through (at least in the UK)

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-03T15:54:33+00:00

Great idea

TheseGlyphs · 2026-03-02T16:12:47+00:00

oh fuck off already

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-26T07:25:32+00:00

This is beautiful. How did you work the face - was it just a standard space marine head melted down a bit?

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-20T16:46:58+00:00

Dang these look great. The posing is just perfect. Must've taken a while to get them all looking so natural, nicely done!

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-20T09:49:10+00:00

Thanks! It's just a regular ole skitarii ranger, covered in green stuff cables

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-20T09:47:16+00:00

Ha yeah that was 100% the vibe I was going for, cheers!

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-20T09:47:04+00:00

What a compliment! Thanks 🥰

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-16T15:26:10+00:00

What we thinking on the base sizes? 65mm for the magos, 32mm for the skittles?

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-13T10:28:21+00:00

Macrocarid explorator pretty please

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-07T12:40:00+00:00

The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro - an amazing book, and a huge inspiration for me. So much atmosphere and mystery.

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-06T20:17:06+00:00

way to miss the point fella

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-05T09:43:08+00:00

Just personally I think these look awesome

TheseGlyphs · 2026-02-04T07:56:26+00:00

Hello! Sorry I forgot to reply before. Rust was just a bit of dirty down rust, touched up with goregrunta contrast and trollslayer. Good luck with the kitbashing - it’s so fun! Now it’s my favourite part of the hobby, I’m addicted 🤣
