In this post we expand our Mechanicus sector scenery with a Ferratonic Furnace and Alchomite Stack. I have also added an additional gantry and a Thermic Plasma Conduits Junction.



The furnace and gantry pieces are all from the original Kill Team starter box set - the one with the Reiver Marines and the Tau Breacher Squad. The conduit is from the Thermic Plasma Conduits set.

All these parts are easily assembled but you may find it beneficial to hold off gluing some parts together to enable different layouts.

HOBBY TIP: The design of the mechanicus sector lends itself to be easily interchangeable with almost all other scenery in the range. Pre-plan for this by trying a few combos and seeing where different parts line up.









 



Undercoating

Before I go into each element, I can get this part out of the way because everything was undercoated with Leadbelcher spray.

Ferratonic Furnace

Basecoat everything with a thin coat of Leadbelcher. You can use one of your larger brushes for this as there are no worries about hitting other parts at this stage, even the parts which will later be painted over with other colours.

Basecoat selected pipes and expansion chambers with Brass Scorpion.  



Apply a wash of Agrax Earthshade to the entire piece.


Lightly drybrush all these areas with Necron Compound.

The plan here is to highlight the detailed parts and the edges - I tend to apply this mainly to the Leadbelcher areas as I prefer the brass areas to look more 'maintained' but you could apply it and have them look more weathered.

Basecoat selected panels with Mephiston Red - one normal coat should be enough.

I also basecoated a few panels with Fulgrim Pink, with an eye to having a few Troll Slayer Orange panels. Using pink as a basecoat worked well for the yellow of the servohaulers in Sector Machanicus - chapter 1 (Sector Mechanicus Part 1 - Galvic Servohaulers) so I tried it again...


Wash all the coloured areas with Agrax Earthshade to give it an oily/dirty look.



Basecoat electrical cables with Teclis Blue and highlight with Lothern Blue.

The gauges received a thin layer of White Scar for the background - tidy this up with Abaddon black around the inside and on the needle and needle-mechanism.


When dry, paint the needle Evil Sunz Scarlet and tidy up the edges of the housings with Leadbelcher.

Laddered Gantry and Thermic Plasma Conduits

Refer to the Sector Mechanicus - Chapter 2.



...and finally!

I added a couple of transfers from the Mechanicus transfer sheets and sprayed all the components with a matt varnish.


"Where did we park the Dunecrawler?!"

All praise the Omnissiah!

Warhammer Fantasy - Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus

  Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus  I was always on the lookout for a model to represent the Necrolith Colossus in my Tomb Kings army. When the Hobbit spotted a 3D printed model on eBay and ran out of his hole shouting and squealing that it may be a good proxy, I thought I better take a look, if only to stop the neighbours complaining... There is a big temptation for getting my Tomb King army match fit for the release of The Old World. ( Assuming that the unit roster and base sizes will be similar to 8th edition ). When I saw the photo of it, I immediately recognised that it was, in fact, a great model to represent a Necrolith Colossus armed with a Bow of the Desert. Patting the little guy on the head, I couldn't really tell if the quality of print was good but decided to take a chance and ordered it. A few days later a Royal Mail hawk arrived with my Necrolith Colossus.   ( Unfortunately, I cannot remember the vendor's details but the purchase went ...

Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 - Har Ganeth Darkshards

  Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 Har Ganeth Darkshards Time to increase the core unit count of my Khainite force with some Darkshard s . This will not only increase the unit count but enable me to field an army at a higher points level. Their addition will also give me some variety in unit type, in regards a bit of range, as most of the army is melee based. HEY YOU ! Yeah you with the Beard..  Why not follow us on Instagram?   @Tabletop_hobby.blogspot I'm assuming Har Ganeth, as a major Druchii city, will be able to field a 'city guard' of some sort, (it certainly does in the Malus Darkblade novels - FD) . I felt  Darkshards seemed the most appealing and appropriate to start with, this will install some missile capabilities in the army. Darkshards These are the standard core unit box set models that can also be assembled as Bleakswords and Dreadspears . I had enough parts to assemble a unit of 14 models including a command group and I also decided to hav...

Warhammer Fantasy - High Elves Chronicles of The Glorious Host Chapter 1 -  Archmage & Eagles This post is about my High Elf Archmage on Great Eagle conversion. If you want to see the links to what iv used, or the other relevant blog posts then please see the end of this post for the "HANDY LINKS SECTION" Lindalan the Pure of Heart rides the Great Eagle Gwindolir "Lindalan" the Pure of Heart has gained added manoeuvrability and resiliency by being mounted on a Great Eagle . This post is about kit-bashing a High Elf Mage on a Great Eagle for a High Elf Army. Lindalan first appeared in Phaedrils' Sky Patrol - An Army list from one of Gildoren's Campaigns A Great Eagle is an appealing mount option for Archmages in any High Elf army list, the Great Eagle offers increased mobility (and toughness) as they follow the rules for monstrous beasts ( p85, WHF Rulebook 8th Edition ).
