Armiger Knight of House of Taranis

Finished my Armiger knight with freehands on armorplates inspired by Adeptus Mechanicus arts.

Skitarii sketches

Some time ago I decided to give Darktide a try and I've been drawing skitarii ever since. Here's a compilation of sketches I've made.

Enginseers are coming next.

Hot take, I think that painting faces on Kastelan Robots is over done and makes no sense.

I think robots are better when they express no emotion. Giving them personality beyond what their machine spirit exhibits kinda defeats the purpose of them. They operate off of vocal commands of the cybernetica datasmith that match their protocol chips. Now don’t get me wrong cause I think it’s cute every now and then, but literally every other guy who has robots paints a face on them. It’s different if it works for your homebrew lore or whatever, but they simply don’t have emotions.

I think they look better with no face.

Painting my first warhammer army (Nearly done!)

Kitbashed a tech priest onto a chicken with a lot of greenstuff and random parts! Attached (magnetized) autocannons to his arms that I can switch to laz cannons if need be. Modified Stygies VIII scheme. The checkered pattern is representative of all my alphas or princeps in my units for flavor. Fun one to paint!

Tech-Priest Enginseer

A fun model to paint!

I've seen quite a few people say they don't like the Engineer model but I quite like him. He also is a life saver in game! Probably going to get multiple at some point :]

Tried recreating the style of the old fourth edition rulebook (I'm a huge fan of Karl Kopinski's work). I really enjoyed inking this!

So I was looking at the new knight preceptor image used in the codex and noticed this

I tried searching online for where the face used on the Preceptor comes from, but while something similar is present on the armiger and dominus sprues, they’re not exactly 1:1. The most similar I found looking around was the Magera’s head, but that a solid block of resin and still has some different details, but I could see a slight rework made for a plastic version of the kit. Do you think this is a hint that we’ll finally see the Mechanicum knights in plastic?

I think admech could go to T4 in 11th

*EDIT I'm talking about admech battle line here, can't change title unfortunately

I collect admech, knights and orks, so I've been keeping a finger on the pulse of the new ork datasheet reveals. A lot of the ork datasheets are increasing in durability: Nazdreg wears mega armour and he's T7 when mega armour was T6 before; nobz now have 3W instead of 2; killa kans went up to T7 from T6; ghazghull went up to T10 from T6, went from 10W to 16W and now has Lone Op; the stompa now has a 5+ invuln. A lot of the Orks are also a lot more killy than before, which leads me to believe that as GW's favourites the Space marines will increase in durability for parity with the orks, with marines going up to T5, and terminators and gravis going to T6 and T7 respectively.

If that happened, T4 would open up to factions that are tougher than guardsmen but less tough than marines, like admech and sisters of battle. Granted it's a big reach but I don't think it's impossible that many of the factions could be scaled up in durability and damage this edition.

Is anyone else scared regarding the Ork price hikes?

Following the huge ork price hikes (especially the ork boyz and ork trukk) is anyone else nervous AdMech may become even harder to collect? I am so glad we had some points modifications, but I’m nervous an already expensive army to collect is going to double down.

Will the Machine God save us from shrinkflation?

A Skitarii Vanguard of Ix 9

Very pleased with how this model came out, especially the detailing on the screen of the auspex scanner. I tried a few different things but eventually settled on the waveform which ended up looking best.
