    Default Grundz'z Adeptus Mechanicus Army WIP (very pic heavy)

    So I primarily posted over on dakka, however I get very little feedback there. so here I am I'm primarily looking for feedback to help my painting and/or modeling skills improve as I work pretty much in a fishbowl.

    My primary army is adeptus mechanicus IG, largely kitbashed/converted.

    Basic infantry are kitbashed from WGF infantry and various GW bits
    Light vehicles are stalk tanks (4 legged talks)
    Leman russes are slowly being converted into heavy stalk tanks (4-6 legged heavy stalk tanks)
    Some Leman russes are knight titans (marked with a leman russ-size base)

    most models are basecoated with an airbrush and minorly shaded, then minwax/washed, then the original color drybrushed over top. I've lately been experimenting with line highlighting, and all my attempts at blending have ended in horrible firestorms of terribleness.

    I'm currently looking for an easy way of "gear"ing the base of all my greatcoats!

    anyways, what you have come for more than likely, pictures!

    Not bad at all; I really like the stalk tanks, especially using the middle leg mounts from the defiler kit as sponson mounts. May have to nick that idea if/when I get round to my renagade IG.

    Onviously still a lot of work to do, but a good solid start.
    Always thinking 2 projects ahead of anything I've yet to finish

    Thanks!

    The no sponson tanks give me the ability to use the 1/3rd of the defiler bodies for knight titans, I actually have 3 or 4 more titans worth of parts to make.
    I have 3 or 4 more defiler tanks to do and those are done and I can sell off all the leman russes. The next phase is slowly replacing the infantry with DKOK and microart admech infantry. Once that is complete I have an evil plan to sell and convert all of my sentinels.

    Then again I did just start ORKS, so that may suck me up as I'm starting to like them more and more! :P
