Yeah, admech(plus some knight support) is the perfect place for all the weird machines I want to create, but they are very heavy on the bits needed. To start off I bought a few second hand collections of unused bits on ebay, as well as keeping an eye out for deals, and it does get better over time, as the more you convert/build stuff differently the more bits you have leftover from kits
I follow some great kitbash/modelling/painting channels and artist for years, like Squidmar, TableTop Time, Midwinter Minis, Eons Of Battle, Pete the Wargamer just to name a few and dear Sir: I am very glad I found your channel as well. Your work is top notch, easily on par with the ones that I mentioned. Keep it up! Instant subscribe for me and I am sure as hell I will binge watch your previous older videos right away 😄
I'd been dabbling with converting admech until I saw your titanfall video then I really got into it. Smashing admech with necron leg parts is where I got started. I built a manipulus tech priest using legs taken from a canoptek reanimator. I'll be drawing inspiration from your titanfall model to build a customized Thanatar. The key parts being a cheap pile of knight questoris pieces that I picked up and a canoptek doomstalker cannon that I'll be cutting off. I'd also come across some penitent engine kits for cheap which I wanted to use dimwit but had yet to get the right inspiration so this was perfect timing
Good to hear, sounds like you've got some great conversions planned yourself. I've always wanted to do a multi-crawler leg type manipulus myself, and I also have plans for another titanfall style mech with a mechanicum automata. Best of luck with your own building
Thanks, always nice to hear I've helped others get building themselves. Something that helped me early on, is using every build as a chance to try something new, before you know it you'll have a load of techniques under your belt so you're well prepared for almost any build idea. Also bits, having a big pile of spare bits will always help
Thanks, I may sprinkle in some more of my forgeworlds lore in future videos, it's a fun back and forth, having lore inspire build details, or inversely come up with lore explanations for certain conversions
My bad, I knew he was high up, and just kind of assumed he was the fabricator general since we see a lot of Cawl, but don't really see any higher ranking admech members above him
thanks for the video, really cool and inspiring ! I want to make a cool big technpriest for leading my army too, I hope a don't have to buy a basilarius cawl for that... but cool tech-axes are not easy to find ^^' I think of maybe sculpting one myself but that would be a lot of work... maybe i'll do it anyway. I will certainly make other technpriest befor that, thanks to all the cool minis you show us :)
I have been toying with a Dunecrawler kitbash with the inspiration of the Wolf from Generation zero. The tracked walker being able to transform transportation modes is very cool. I am just not sure how to achieve that
Thats a cool looking thing to take inspiration from, one of the main things I'd say you need are some kataphrons since they'd be a good source for the smaller tank treads, plus that kit is full of handy bits for detailing with
@@DumbRobotStuff Yeh. trying to attatch them in a convincing way, whilst also keeping it within the base as well is a bit of a challenge. Not to sure how I would go about doing that
My bad, I just kind of assumed so since he's the highest ranking admech member we regularly hear of. Evidently I need to brush up a bit more on the lore (and also GW needs to flesh out more tech priests, I think Cawl might still be the only named admech model)
Gorgeous models, and well-painted! Did you intend for the grey of the robes to sort of meld, visually, into the bare steel colour? Playing into that AdMech fusion of mechanical and biological?
Not initially, but it is a very nice side effect that you've described very well. The scheme started as just an idea for a grey and orange I took from gunbuster, a favourite anime mecha of mine, that I tweaked bit by bit over time. It's kind of intentional now as the greys and metal are kind of "boring" so they blend well and allow me to draw attention to details I like with the orange and copper.
