Adeptus Mechanicus - Thallax Cohort painted
Before diving into a bout of mercenary painting, I wanted to do something for the Ad-Mech as it was the popular choice on the poll - the Thallax Cohort fit the bill nicely!
While I absolutely love the brass scheme that Dave Taylor did, I wanted to tie them in with the rest of my Ad-Mech army which meant they got a predominantly red treatment. I did add in a touch of the brass on the lightning guns, the various pistons and the jump jet nozzles, and with a bit of blue as a spot color here and there, they were good to go!
On the right shoulder I added in some roman numerals, while the left shoulder got a cog-tooth motif - which is pretty much requisite for the Ad-mech! I'm definitely looking forward to the upcoming FW Heresy books as they expand the army list options, expect to see more of the cog-boys in the future!

These look like they'd be fun to paint. What are you running them as?
ReplyDeleteSuper cool looking unit! I like the cogs on the shoulder pads too - well done mate.
ReplyDeleteThese look great! Nice job man!
ReplyDeleteCoolio :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy does cog-boys somehow sounds wrong.
ReplyDeleteThough namewise questionable, the painting is ace :D
I have to say I really like the blue spot colour and I also really like the little hints of yellow here and there too :)They really break up the red without having to go down the brass route. Excellent work in my opinion
ReplyDelete@TheAmbit: Indeed they were! They'll be using the rules found in the FW Betrayal book for the most part, or possibly the Tempus Fugitives fandex as Praetorians.
ReplyDelete@Dai: Thanks very much!
@17yearoldhobbyist: I appreciate it!
@Stephen: Thanks mate!
@Manus: Hah! Cog-boys is a semi-derogatory term for 'em that my buddy Dave throws around a lot. :)
@Frothing Muppet: Thanks! The gloss coat really does make 'em pop!
@Musings of a Smurf: Cheers, man!
Great work! Love the color scheme.
