My model roundup for 2024, started and ended with a tankhead build, but got a few other cool models and conversions in there too

The underseer is from the new killteam www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAaa...

but I also explain how I made most the others, including the big guy, in an earlier video www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFQI...

Good luck with that idea if you decide to go with it. As well as adding all the appropriate Cawl/techpriest bits, I used weapon barrels as longer fore-arms, and added power claws and shoulder pads from cataphractii terminators, to build it out a bit more

roughly drybrushed two shades of the two main colours just to quickly cover most the models

finished the building off with the usual base style: industrial patterned plasticard, spare wires, and debris made of plasticard and bits off-cuts that were lying around

Dumb Robot Stuff @dumbrobotstuff.bsky.social · 3d

last few details, some devices to imply the kastelan is controlled by skitarii (as they normally have data-smith overseers), and some of the usual green stuff wires

The official servers are up, there were some issues a while back but they're all fine now. There was the workaround with community servers using the northstar client, which are still up for a fun alternative with a more consistent community and custom game modes

I got the urge, so I'm back to playing tf2 matches once again. I'm not normally one for online pvp games but I'm always coming back to this one every so often

train sketches; terrible photo

some sort of airmobile commando mech. needs legs that fit better and also to be drawn while not also being designed at the same time in an eraser-poor operating environment

I cannot reiterate, horrible quality picture of a pencil sketch of a robot. the arms can fold to be compact to lay on a cargo pallet and the legs have to be redrawn to fit with the torso

bolt rivets, some armour panels I kinda copied from the dunecrawler, and some camera device made from kataphron optics and the skitarii's antennae, I figure the crows nest would make for a good vantage point that the magos controlling the battle would wanna see

some things of note, the new admech units are on display, like the archeaopter(though I still prefer the lighter used in 1), the planet from 1 got exterminatus'd, and we're dealing with a new dynasty in the same copper colours of the silent king's

Played the new demo for mechanicus 2

It was a decent taster, swapping between both mechanicus and necrons exploring/defending a tomb complex found in a new forgeworld, pleased to see Scaevola was the central character and also now voiced store.steampowered.com/app/2532480/...

used some .5mm plasticard as a kind of trim, and using another secutarii shield to cover the holes for the ladder rungs on the front. Still got some of the trim to clean up, then I'll add some bolt rivets, maybe some more paneling and any other details I find that fit

Dumb Robot Stuff @dumbrobotstuff.bsky.social · 6d

building out the sides of the crows nest with plasticard, the cuts were measure but it's still messy, will clean up by sanding the edges flat and obscuring any un-eveness with details later. Plus other minor changes like cleaning up the shield and arm(that I changed the angle of)

Dumb Robot Stuff @dumbrobotstuff.bsky.social · 8d

yeah that is the inspiration, it was one of the first things that came to mind when thinking about different takes on the skatros' "elevated gunman" concept, and I though it'd make for a good, less serious conversion

also hephaistosstudios did do a great job making some of the hivemind psykers too

Tyranid Hunters: Hive Mind Psyker, Hive Mind Librarian, Tyrannic War veteran and Hive Servitor.——Here they are all together! I would love to see them painted but I really don’t know what scheme to paint them in. Stay true to the artwork of Mark Gibbons and make them Ultramarines? Make theme more generally useful and paint them as Deathwatch? Or do something else entirely? Any suggestions?#warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #blanchitsu #gamesworkshop #kitbash #diorama #inq28 #paintingminiatures #grimdark #miniatureart #ultramarines #tyrannicwarveterans #hivemindpsyker #hivemindlibrarian

Dumb Robot Stuff @dumbrobotstuff.bsky.social · 8d

tyrannic war vets are cool, and a unique ultramarine style they could lean into, there's still a bunch of great Mark Gibbons designs that never got proper minis. I copied their style for one of my black templar bladeguards kinda recently

Dumb Robot Stuff @dumbrobotstuff.bsky.social · 8d

using a dunecrawler weapon barrel and the side of a dunecrawler I cut off got the tankhead a while back, and I've got a kind of crows nest to put the skitarii in, just gotta build it out a little
