All glory to the Hypnotoad: Part 3

Part 3, where Bel realises you should always test things before just trying them on my crazy projects.

Thankfully I managed to drain out the resin before any lasting damage was done. Had to make a new transparent tube but better than making a whole new space frog.

My Mechanicus infantry are slowly coming together.

Crab-spider walker thing

Through means I wont disgust you with here I have recently found myself in possession of an old robotech spider walker thing.

It quite clearly cries out to be converted into something cool.

 Though exactly what cool thing currently eludes me.

Started work on a pair of heavy duty repair claws for the front.

Thought maybe build it as a mobile command platform. The tech priest in the back will be surrounded by monitors and all sorts of comms equipment. 

Or a radar dome of some sort. This one would be covered in scanners and the like.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Space Wizards

A pair of 2nd hand Empire battle wizards have been turned into a pair of tech-priests for my slowly growing Mechanicus force.

Shame the new codex doesn't actually contain tech-priests of any kind.

They are awfully yellow.

Scale shot my space frog Primaris Psyker in his now floating tube.

Threw some paint on it.

80s sci-fi tells me that bright purple is the colour of psychic things.

Still deciding if the tube should be empty or if I should try adding some clear water effect resin.

Mechanicus Vanguard

For anyone who hasn't seen them. The new Mechanicus kits are stuffed full of cool bits. Particulary useful is that all weapons come with their own arms.

This means that I can use the spares from my Rangers to build a box of Vanguard.

...because I am cheap like that.

Using some ordinary Cadians, a little work with a file and some greenstuff power cables I ended up with some passable Vanguard.

Gonna have to order more of the cool helmets. I seem to be using them on everything in this army.

All glory to the Hypnotoad: Part 1

I recently accidentally obtained one of these fearsome creatures:

It's the frog from the terradon kit. Now I could just throw it into some dark corner of my bitz box and never think of it again. But then I'd be missing out on a cool conversion opportunity.

Instead I decided it would make a good Primaris Psyker.

I plan to mount the frog inside some sort of psychic amplifier bio tube kajigger (TM).

I'm sure this is not a new idea but I like it anyway.

 Base platform made of a tank hatch, some wire and some short bits of plastic rod (Rod not tube this time).

Made a cap for the bio tube out of another hatch some, coiled wire and some plastic tube. These two sections fit into either end of a clear plastic tube.

next I need to add more details and decide if the whole thing is going to have spindly spider legs or if it will float along using creepy psychic powers.
