And nearly six months after kit-bashing this little fellow, I have finally got around to painting him (or should that be it).
My original intention was that the Rotting Battle Servitor would be a kind of NPC, ‘wandering monster’ or and objective. A warband might be searching for it in order to strip valuable data from it’s rusting data cogitators to help uncover a secret from Orphic Catacombs of the Chapel. Or perhaps it could be reprogrammed and used as a weapon/ally?
My thanks to Imperial Ork Rebel for suggesting that adding a few nicks and chips to the chainsword teeth would make it seem more battered and also to Wudugast for suggesting the addition of a few cables hanging around the torso and guts. Finally, I must confess that stole/borrowed the skin colour recipe from WilhelMiniatures’ Pestigor step-by-step blog post.
Given the miniature is quite forward leaning, I wasn’t quite able to get an angle with my camera phone that I was happy with, but I think the finished paint job looks reasonably good:
Heretic 30k 
The pale but almost oil skin colour is great. Very disturbing. It looks the part no doubt.
Great work, the finished piece lives up to the promise shown by the initial conversion and the paint job helps to separate it from Nurgle and define it as a decaying machine and a cyborg but not as something in any way daemonic. Well done!
Yes – was very much aiming for decaying/tainted rather than daemonic.
Great skin effect. I’m looking forward to seeing more and maybe get a Chapel photo shoot done with them.
Definitely – I’m still aiming to try to get them all finished for end of Oct 🙂
Cool!
Really like him mate. He looks positively decayed
