2018 Armies on Parade – Adeptus Mechanicus

Here it is! The Armies on Parade post I have been putting off posting since the event. This is going to be a rather photo heavy post. Click on the pictures below to zoom in!

This year was my first year participating in the event at my local Warhammer store, and I had a lot of fun.

Skitarii and Sicarian Infiltrators

I have finally gotten around to taking photos of my Mechanicus squads, but unfortunately, these were taken in full sun and haven’t turned out very well. I can’t motivate myself to retakes these pictures, but I will try harder in future to avoid the brightest parts of the day.

The two most difficult things I found with these models was finding a good method for the blue glowy effect and painting the cream detail on the robe edges. I’m pretty happy with my blue method, which was painted white with very watered down Hoeth Blue and edge highlighting with white again. The robe detail ended up being very shaky, but I think it is okay at a tabletop distance.

In addition, here are my Sicarian Infiltrators. The detail on these models is quite amazing, and edge highlighting was very satisfying as it brought these models to a level that I’m very proud of.

I hope to post my Armies on parade board that features these models. I’ll get around to it eventually…

Thank you for reading!
