    Ive collected mechanicum since black book #1 and will be getting this box to complement my force with some plastic. The resin still has appeal to me, especially when shaping mechadendrites. It's a shame to see the castellax and thralls suffer from the overly complex sub components issue. Thanks for taking the time to review Andy.

    Really great little tutorial! I am really impressed with how detailed this looks, with such simple techniques.

    This model would probably not be on my radar, but you painted it so well, now I want to get it. I love vids like that. Well done, Andy and thank you.

    Another great video. thanks Andy. I'm very excited about the new box. I started building and painting my resin Mechanicum models last week. Cant wait for next weekend to grab my copy.

    Excellent painting Andy! The color scheme looks great and I like the 3 step finish painting as it adds a lot to the model. Thanks for sharing this.

    That does look very cool. Agree that some newer kits are overly complex. Forget where i saw it but agree with a round table discussion where people enjoyed building old world minis more than modern ones.

    I really enjoy your videos. They are easy to follow and result in great looking miniatures. Most importantly the standard is achievable. Since watching and following your guides I've been far more productive and happier with the results of my own miniatures

    Wonderful video Andy! I really love the effects you can get with contrast over metallic base, and part of me would be happy just getting there, adding transfers and finishing with some weathering...

    Nice video Andy, I actually really liked the metallic red look you had before you started layering I’d say it could have almost been left there. Anyways keep up the good work.

    It would be really cool if you posted a picture at the end of the video of the completed model(s) with your collection. Say if you paint some more things from this box, you post a picture of those new models on the shelf amongst your collection. I think it would be really cool to see.

    Another top video Andy. You make painting the big surfaces with contrast look too easy!!! Do you use an airbrush? I have one and cannot get in with it, blocking, getting the mix right, adjusting it, fecking heck! Any chance you could do an absolute beginners,(Bowie ref intended), guide on how to use the damn thing?

    Great tutorial. Show how easy these complex looking models can be to paint.
    That model is a robot. No pilot. It is accompanied by a tech priest who gives them commands to follow. No AI so they are commanded by a tech priest.

    Did you do any Titanicus scale Reavers? Those were horrific, especially the legs and the microscopic shield generators up top.
    I love how this looks so I guess I’m starting this army too. 😢

    I love building models... until I realise I spent a whole freaking day putting together eleventy billion pieces for a model that I absolutely didn't need this level of detail on. Why do some barrels come in two parts?! Why do some capes come in 3+ parts?? WHY DO SOME FINGERS COME SEPARATELY?!?!?! I appreciate the detail but it's just so much freaking work. I just put together a Brutalis dreadnought and it had 131 pieces, when the nearly identical-looking Ballistis dreadnought had 21 pieces as a launch box kit. THEY LOOK THE SAME WHY ARE THERE MORE PIECES FOR AN IDENTICAL LOOKING BODY?! Anyway, nice paint job lol
