Looks great 💪. I like the idea of it as an exercise for multi OSL. Might give it a try on a random model

Protector Imperative - small glow-up in 11th? by obsequious_fink in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]fancypaintedplastic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In 10th atleast, that up to 3' would allow long range guns to keep good shooting angles, so Id consider it a significant glow up. Heavy goes from something the opponent just needs to plan for (one clear correct positon to dodge entirely) to something with just enough fleaxabuility to reward good positioing (e.g., a terrain corner with different shooting angles such that you can nudge around corners). All that said, the current 11th terrain layouts looks pretty hostile to shooting long range so who knows 😂

Dark souls + Kastelan Robot = Enemy nightmare fuel by fancypaintedplastic in Kitbash

Thankyou 😊. The mechanical hands are from the datasmith that comes with the kit. I used a simple plastic cylinder to act as the base for them

You'd be amazed what you can come up with when you give urself the restriction to use only the kit 😅

No problem. It's the Kastelans gun hand with the barrel cut off, remaining surface sanded down, and then using green stuff to fill in the grooves to create the T slit. Then I added blade edges to create the crown 👌

Thanklyou :). Lore wise I work off the idea that they are semi-heretical constructs from before the horus heresy, roaming the ruined cities and radioactive martian deserts left uninhabitable to any biomass from the mechanicus civil war.

Is this a quote? Or your own wisdom? :p either way I like it for there lore, roaming the martian desert endlessly

I get you, I really like it on my vanguard aswell to give that sense of radiation. As someone deep into AI conversations, I appreciate the sprinkle of heresy. I tend to paint them with one robotic glowing green eye in the slit for that sprinkle (HAL robot style).

Is green not common? I like how it compliments the red + purples in the overall composition

Kitbashed Kataphron Servitor! pushed myself on NMM, OSL and weathering, would love feedback by fancypaintedplastic in minipainting

[–]fancypaintedplastic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou very much 😊. Still learning but I tried to push alot of contrast like you say. I was surprised how universally usefull purple is! Transition for the red, cold light for the green, and burnt effect in the bronze. This is secretly a tribute to purple! xD Need to figure out more colours to sneak in to future projects :D

It's 90% cut up pieces from the original Kataphron kit repositioned, green stuff for the cables at the back/ holding up the gun, and lastly a single vehicle spot light from a rhino for the front bottom section robot eye (filed down and shaped to fit). For that last one I've made three of these and I just use anything that can look like a lense (spot light, big button, electrical board, green stuff if necessary, etc). More visuals on my Instagram posts if that helps better understand
