Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Start Collecting! Adeptus Mechanicus, 99120116027

Product Information

Drybrush Mephiston Red. Get a nice scratchy look across the entire cloak, breaking up any pools of Nuln Oil that formed.

In terms of units, as mentioned, there is a lot of overlap. Thankfully, it’s overlap for “core” units in the sense that you’ll probably need more than one unit of Skitarii Rangers/Vanguard in your lists. And having 2 Techpriests isn’t unrealistic either. I’m not too sure how much use you’ll get out of the Skorpius Dunerider (as Transports seem to have fallen out of favor) but you can built it as a Skorpius Disintegrator instead – so that’s a plus. Stripping themselves of the undue burden of organic components, followers of the Adeptus Mechanicus worship the Machine God in any way they can. From the simple act of being a nameless cog in the great forge worlds, to the holy acts of sacraments performed upon the blessed Bolt Rifle before battle, the AdMech is pervasive throughout the Imperium, but also a wholly distinct group on their own. As the founding forge world and the religious centre of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the armies of Mars believe themselves to be the best of the best. These forces are always trying to prove their supremacy in battle – driven by rigorous training and ready access to the copious resources of the Red Planet. Step 6: Hit the entire model with a liberal application of Agrax Earthshade, my one and only shade. It gives everything a dirty, dark, and natural feel which I love. As with constrasts I have to watch out for pooling.The end result on this process is a pretty decent tabletop standard, which for me is “good enough” as I just want to see these robo-dudes finally hit the table painted. If you’re interested in the same hopefully you’ll find this useful. Wash all the metalic elements that haven’t previously been washed. I’ve done this in three ways, the first being a light wash with Nuln Oil. The second method I’ve used is a light wash of just Agrax Earthshade. And the last method is a combo of the other two: a very thin wash of Nuln Oil followed by a very thin wash of Agrax Earthshade. Really up to you which method you prefer, though don’t stress about it. They all wind up looking quite similar, and quite awesome. Adeptus Mechanicus is the reason I got into Warhammer. The H.R. Giger-esque fusion of machinery and humanity was exactly what I was looking for, and the model range has only gotten better with their latest model releases. However, those models can be extremely intimidating due to all the wires, antennas, and mechadendrites. But fear not! This is my recipe for great looking Admech, and it’s simple as radioactive pie. This guide isn’t for a specific model, but it instead covers the different steps I follow when painting any generic Admech model.

Ryza specialises in the power of plasma weaponry, as much for the intensity of their violence as the wonder of the machines. Adding extra damage on such strong weapons can turn the tide of battle if applied judiciously.

Adeptus Mechanicus Eradication Cohort

With that done, your Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii are done! This paint scheme can be repeated throughout the range. Techpriests also look great painted in this same scheme!
