Over the last week, Seattle saw some significant snowfall and the whole city pretty much shut-down. With work cancelled and the roads clogged, I was trapped in my home with nothing to do but build and paint models. I took it as an opportunity to knock out a commission and some units for my Death Guard army.

On Twitter I'd seen someone combine an AdMech Dunewalker with an Armiger and I knew I wanted to do something similar, but I'd put off doing it for a while. But my copious free time finally let me get around to it.
|
I wanted to vary up the appearance of the Armiger, while still maintaining its
basic rules. |
|
I had two Armigers, and liked the idea of double chainsaw arms. |
|
I kept the motif of skull-covered shoulder pads on both Armigers that
I'd established on the Knight. |
Once I finished up the first Armiger, I decided to convert another. Originally, I tried putting the Dune Walker's hull on Armiger legs; but it was way too AT-ST for me. Also, trying to attach a buzzsaw arm really spoiled the silhouette. In the end, I decided to convert the other Armiger hull and use that.

This one is a little more "stock" but still has enough to make it unique. |
Finally, my friend Chris traded me some metal Norman infantry he had laying around for assembling and painting a Knight Castellan he owned. He wanted a Knight that had served with the Titan Legio Crucius for so long that they granted their heraldry. I finally had the time to build and knock this sucker out. It was a really interesting build, considering how much they did with mirroring frames. The whole thing was only 3 sprues.

This dude is a real beast. Its massive. |

I made some custom Crusius decals to scatter
across the hull. |
It feels good to get these machines off the painting the queue and onto the gaming table. Hopefully, I can do the second part soon!
Those armigers rock!!!! what a superb conversión. The skulls, the painting job, absolutely gorgeous.
