P-VLOG Building The Adeptus Mechanicus Army
Welcome to another Project VLOG here on Beasts of War. In this one we'll be going over some of the stages we went through to get our Adeptus Mechanicus army up and running, so feel free to comment and add you thoughts on how you get new forces ready for the tabletop.
We've had a lot of fun building this particular army so make sure to get chatting about our army and of course any of yours that you've been working on.
What would you like to see us work on next for Warhammer 40,00?

Welcome To The P-VLOG - What's In The Army?
We get stuck into a discussion about what we should be including in the army. Of course we have to pick out some of those awesome new models from the Adeptus Mechanicus army but we might add in a few surprises as well!
Getting Stuck In To The Build
It's now time to put the planning aside and actually work on building the army. We've got a lot of plastic to get through so we show off how we're going to be building stuff to keep organised. Phew...wish us luck!
Sneaky Priming Time
So now it's time to get priming. I wonder what we should work on first. Warren also takes some time to play around with a rather large mechanical beast we have here in the studio...
Alternate Model Leader 360° Video
Now we've finished him here's a better look at one of our leaders for the Adeptus Mechanicus army. We're pretty proud of how he turned out!
Basing The Army
We have a chat about how we're going to go about basing the army. We want it to look as much like the surface of Mars as possible but how do we achieve that?
I think next time we would set the base coat of this army to be an Orange shade, as that scheme has really grown on me 🙂
@warzan Really depends on what forgeworld you are building for in my opinion, as blood angels are my primary 40k army, im keen to paint my fledgling mechanicus force something non red for a change…
either way i cant help but think a LOT of the mechanicus fluff was inspired by gamma ray, specifically: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uTEo9h60_4&list=PLzhLwzWgfMs0Ty7x81bx2ZapDZGmLL3TB
Am i the only one who thinks the band gamma ray inspired a lot of the mechanicus fluff, specifically this song Men, Martians & Machines?

Thats the one..
:3 this is amazing and i love Gamma Ray! HEAVEN OR HELL!!
So far so good. I like how the red priming went along. It looks class on the Knight.
When will we see more???
the arachnid banenid? tank & the alternative knight may have been spoils of war on a system that adeptus mechanicus fleet has conquered as other fleets are.
Looking great guys! I have an Imperial Fist army that needs finished. Maybe I’ll head down to my hobby lab and get started today.
For me there have been a couple of pointers and tip’s that an old dog has learned the tooth pick for a second coat on the basing is rather special and transfers right across the spectrum. The second was unintentional and that is the motorised rotating bases I know they have been around an age but they give such a good 360 degree I am going to try and find some in different sizes from small to extremely large as I want to make some dioramas all for my own pleasure. The articles have been great one of if not… Read more »
thanks very much for the kind words, every new project helps us learn so we can show of the minis better and show the hobby off as best as possible. glad you enjoyed this
Love this series. Much better then the other 40k series “charted”. When I see this it makes me want to paint up my 40k army again. I’ll use this quick base coat method as well.
very nice
Very Very Nice
when do we see the battle report, please
I’ve just got to the end of all the Mechanicus week videos and I have to say I really enjoyed them. It was like getting an extra DVD box set for Christmas.
