Dark Mechanicus part 2

So got some time to do some converting on my Dark Mechanicus : D

After looking at the sprue of the Shock Troopers I found one of the other guns (with a bit of chopping) would look good as a vent/ power generator...

After placing it I wasn't happy, it didn't look like it would hold enough power.

Then I remembered the CD player I found last week had a bunch of capacitors (dont really know if they are called that.... but, eh)

So with a bit of cutting I got these (the little ones)

Then I just super glued them onto the pack

From there it was just adding cables to give it that Mechanicus look

Tahdah!

I'm very happy with these so far! I dont know if I want to add more mech type stuff or just paint them Chaosy.

Here is a family shot of the box :)

Still going to add cables and wires but you get the idea...

Hope you like them so far,

Cheers

The Dark Mechanicus rise.......

The beginning of a long thought of project is always daunting.

The variables in what you conceive, to how they will actually come to fruition is painstaking. 
Finding models and then how much effort you want/need to produce your vision can be frustrating, but...

Striking something that fits your idea is so satisfying, hence...

The start of my Dark Mechanicus army!

I will be using the rules from the Horus Heresy Extermination book (Tagmata)

These will be the Tech-thralls/ Adsecularis

Obviously I will be doing more to these; tubing and powerpacks, but generally they are perfect for what I want to achieve :D

The look of these models is awesome for where I want to go with my Dark Mechanicus.

I am really looking forward to getting these painted, however I am still a bit undecided about which colours I should go with...

The basic Mars Red, except dirty.

Dark browns and blacks, with lots of OSL (Object Source Lighting)

or something completely different, because Chaos is fickle! 

If anyone out there has a suggestion for a colour scheme, drop a comment here!
