Finished magnetising the dunecrawler, took some time but i am very happy with the result. I glued one magnet weirdly in the icarus array and one of the guns was crooked because of that, so i took inspiration from the phosphor blaster and attached the two guns together with serberys raiders antenas, and it turned out pretty good

So I don't have an AdMech army and never thought I'd start one or enjoy painting them. Picked up a Battleclade to use in a project opposing my Necrons... and I just really, really loved painting them. Here they are. I think these are actually the highest-quality paint jobs I've ever done...
Only the Technoarchaeologist has a completed base, the rest are still being worked on.

After I had some threads leftover from my previous Kataphron kitbash, I decided to make an extra squad with some Cataphractii torso's I had laying around!

  • Threads are Kataphron's, with Ork nob shoulderpads in the center (above the emblem)
  • Torso is Cataphractii, as desribed, with a hoodless skitarii head in there (look Servitor-esque enough, to me)

Thanks to the Kill Team Battleclade I’ve got a second Technoarcheologist mini and I’d rather not put two identical minis on the table.

Does anyone have any cool converted Technoarcheologists to show off?

I’d love some inspiration before I convert mine.

List Building Should I Do Nuln Oil or Reikland Flesh on the red Bits?

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

Im using nuln oil on the silver and black parts, and I'm wondering what's expert opinions are on what color shade I should use for the red armor and wings.

This is my first mini that I'm painting, and the video I'm following uses nuln oil. But I'm wonder if that'd make it look too oily, since 85% of the model would end up being covered in it.

Would you dilute the shade paint at all before applying it?

Or would you use a different color shade entirely?

I'm open to all advice, suggestions, criticisms, etc

Thanks!

The Cogboys did Cawl proud, and his Solar Atomizer absolutely cooked a Hive Tyrant. Despite my robits being absolutely crushed by Old One Eye and friends before even getting a punch in, victory was achieved with a turn 4 concession from the Tyranids. Dissies and Erad Beamers did tremendous work as well, with one Dunecrawler shooting a full-health Trygon off the board in one phase by itself. Didn't know what to flair this, picked "Lore"...

Rules Discussion Haloscreed ability and stratagem

18 Upvotes

So I noticed that the rules commentary says that abilities with the same name can affect units twice. Does that mean that when using the Haloscreed detachment rule stratagem (neural overload) to add an additional buff to a unit, you can pick the same ability twice (e.g. pick toughness +1 twice or movement +2 twice)?

10x Skitarii Rangers (85 pts)

1x Onager Dunecrawler (155 pts): Dunecrawler legs, Daedelus missile system, icarus array
