So little time ago, I felt the urge to get rid of a robot conversion that had been wandering on my table for waaaay too long. Little time after that , That damned Nico came up with some amazing renegade conversions that left me unable not to get back onto my own renegades.
Thing is, I've had a group of techmarines planned for a while for this arm force (not doing an army) since I have plenty of vehicles and some more troops requiring some.
So I quickly took them out, foolishly forgetting one in the box (yes I should have painted 4 actually) and converted them a bit to make them look suitably chaotic. I didn't want to alter them too much to keep the tech identity.
To make them stand as techmarines, I decided to paint the mechanicus hand in a demonic bright red (still unsure about what this symbol means tbh) :
That's right, both require a techmarine to look after them ! I think at this point, you'd probably need half the marines to be techmarines to handle everyone... but look they all have a special sort of cattle pod :
Tech A : Ammo - Check, fuel - check, oil - check- OK, You're good to go, happy slaughter Tech B : Come back here ! I'm not done with you, you demonic piece of shit ! |
Belles pièces, plus chaotique que ma version et c'est pas plus mal :)
ReplyDeleteC'est des approches très différentes mais j'ai très hâte d'un face à face !
DeleteThese are brilliant. The converting is really cleverly done - it keeps the core techmarine look at the same time as making it obvious where their loyalties lie. My favourite is the bug-eyed tech - it's a genius touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the bug eye one is a pure case of serendipity but he's grown on me ! I like the flamvour they'll add to the force, I'll try and cover the other characters slots !
DeleteBien vu pour les techmarines ! J'avais jamais capté qu'il en fallait autant ! Tout s'explique pour le 5D6 :D
ReplyDeleteBravo, comme je te disais sur FB, ils sont superbes, la main démoniaque rend très bien et les petits détails comme la langue qui dépasse sont top !
Merci mec, ouais j'irai pas jusqu'au 5D6 mais bon une poignée pour le style c'est jouable ^^
DeleteAs old school as it gets!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty niche I admit ! ^^'
DeleteThanks !
Wow, great conversions. I recognize the classic models instantly (I think I have a few myself somewhere), but you definitely took them in a very new direction.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I tried to keep the originals recognisable as much as possible because (I'm lazy and think they're splendid to begin with !
DeleteI find it fascinating that you managed to make them stand out with essentially one main colour (and a little bit of red for details). Wow.
ReplyDeleteThe Techmarine Hand shoulder pad suits them better than on the loyal ones!
I agree, the big hand looks perfect on their shoulder and it's a convenient way to tell them apart from the rest !
DeleteThanks mec !
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery cool looking group.

DeleteNicely done a-man!
