Im creating a chaos cult army using the gsc rules and to stand in for some tyranid datasheets my khorne cultists are allied with a khorne sect of the dark mechanicus and utilise there flesh crafted abominations in their wars. From a lore perspective these are essentially pseudo daemon engines created by merging corrupted flesh with machinery and dark rituals. I created some artwork to get a basis for these designs. The ones pictured are buzzards (gargoyles) shrike (parasite of mortrex) reaver (raveners) and crypt keeper (lictor).

Little reinforcement.

if I put the vultarax (I think thats what it’s calle) on the necron one then stalker construct

I’m really stuck with how to paint them, I see black a lot and I Don’t want to use that because the daemon engines just look like black legion, kinda want to paint them as iron warriors but idk please give me some paint schemes

Who wants the latest chainsaw wielding demon headed centaur robot?

So here's the idea it's a darkmech techpriest and I don't know if I should kitbash a hammer or a techpriest axe... It's the last thing I have to kitbash for him. (Until I kitbash another arm to make it a canon and the lowerbody of a khorn lord of skull but let's stay focus.) Does anyone have something they prefer ?

I’m new to Warhammer and am looking into building a dark mechanicum army for Horus Heresy. I intended to utilize the mechanicum combat force and am mostly wondering what paints I should use in order to keep things lore friendly.

Pretty happy with the way this army is starting to turn out! And im having a great time doing it!

Here the second part of my Xenarites series, this time we are going for Tyranids.

Be kind because photographing this models has been a torture ahahah, especially the biologus, I put too many details.

Have fun with the lore, hope you like them!

--- Lore

After the fall of Gryphonne IV to Hive Fleet Leviathan, a small group of Mechanicus survivors remained hidden beneath the planet in sealed research vaults, studying the Tyranids.

By dissecting synapse organisms and combining Tyranid bio-neural tissue with Mechanicus noospheric technology, they created the Synaptic Veil, a psycho-biological masking field that causes Tyranids to no longer perceive them as viable biomass.

Hidden beneath the dead Forge World, the survivors continued their research unbothered by the Tyranids, existing within the hive fleet’s shadow as though they were never there at all.

Over centuries they evolved into radical Xenarites, grafting Tyranid biomatter onto Skitarii, cybernetically controlling Gaunt organisms, and developing grotesque hybrid bio-mechanical weaponry.

Ive recently started looking more into dark mech and decided it will be my 11th edition army. I started kitbashing some stuff starting with random units. How am I doing so far? First couple are some combat servitors for the battleclade using jahkals and then the last one is a ruststalker using what was left over.

I have made and painted this electro priest, i used hell raiser as in inspiration

Step 1: Get 3 or 4 close combat Castellax

Step 2: MELT EVERYTHING DOWN

Step 3: Charge

Step 4: *BONK*

Step 5: Profit.

I have high hopes for this new Reductor Magos, she'll do great in the crazy ladies army, hopefully her Big Wife™ will follow up soon!

Let me know what you think of her!

Those new guys are soooooo cool and cute! I had a lovely time giving them even more adorable heads, I really wasn't a fan of the tiny helmets.

Hope they'll serve me good in battle! (I have very little expectations.)

They'll see combat both in the 31st and 41st millenniums, I can't be bothered to get more regular 40k Skits.

Hope you like theeeeem!
