robots are pretty cool, I like making them too

I got some normal pictures of my converted skatros trio, a rebuild of the basic skatros, an "ironstrider" variant made more for direct combat, and quite a different take on the model with a skitarii sniper on kastelan

probably, that's how it is in game, and also how I made the thermite launcher for my vanguard class armiger, but I figure it could be temporarily held one handed if the scorch were to be holding up a flame shield or something

rough idea for the arms, using the usual kataphron and kastelan parts for the forearms, but the upper arm is thanatar pieces instead of armiger, which is a nice match for the spherical shoulders. Really need to find a pose to lock in and start with bigger changes now

ok so they are 30k skitarii, nice to see them in a slightly different style, I like the helmets and can definitely make use of a lot of parts, especially the marshal's options, but it seems I'm not done cloak cutting yet. I'm hoping we get a melee/secutarii version

I think I might have an idea of what I need for the build now

Yeah that mini is great, I don't have much of an interest in underworlds, but the sons of velmorn warband was too cool too not to get some of

I think it's currently available in a bundle, so now might be your best chance of getting it secondhand/individually for a while if you're desperate

I hope we finally get a proper look for these mechanicum units at the preview soon, I've been waiting for them for a while and they'd be perfect for a skinnier cyborg body base instead of having to cut off a skitarii's coat like I normally do

some of my favourite skeletons so far

It's common to see series have hell/devils but I like seeing stuff which also includes the opposite, there's lots of chances for cool angelic designs (like SMT, especially metatron).

Though it might just be like evangelion where they just used them because the names are cool

"control" seems way more law/order aligned than all the other big devils/horsemen, there's obvious imagery with her painting, and the devils in her control are all the names of angel orders

My three sydonian skatros conversions, trying a few different takes on the model's ideas

I don't have a full army, but I like to occasionally paint a cool skeleton

Finished painting this wight king on skeletal steed for halloween this year

small sicarian piece I made, obviously inspired by a classic ghost in the shell poster

The less light from other sources the better, I don't have blackout curtains so I just wait until after sunset

Then I adjust the ISO and EV settings on my phone camera's pro mode until I find the right light levels, and change the positions of the lights to highlight the models however I like
October 30, 2025 at 4:26 PM
Thanks, I'm definitely no photographer, my set up is pretty cheap, so probably easy to recreate

The lights I use are my desk lamp (usually on the lowest setting and/or on the bluer modes) and a tofu light (for any other colours and with paper towel rubber banded to it dim it further)

working more on this unusual combo of minis. Did more highlighting than I normally do to finish the skeleton, it's worth trying going a but further every so often, then I just shaded the sicarian, which I just be able to also highlight and finish soon too

I'm still in the very early stages for it, just sizing up parts and waiting for another kit, but I am getting ready for my next titan kitbash
October 28, 2025 at 4:40 PM
did my usual black prime and drybrushed two shades of silver to get a metallic base for it all

some glorious upgrades, to free it from some ofthe weaknesses of flesh, and become more aligned with the infallible machine (I wanted to make a sniper like the sentry from ultrakill)
