About those Armigers

I got the Forgebane set mostly because I wanted some Armigers, then when I got it I had a bit of a crisis: What would I do with the rest of the set.
After a bit of thought I settled on a Slaanesh themed Dark Mechanicus army.

So this then meant Loads of potential for conversions. Starting, of course with the Armigers.

My first thought was the main body would stay the same but the head weapons and auxilliary bits would need switching out for alternatives that still had the same weapon feel.

The Cannon was taken from a Forgefiend and modified slightly to add the original weapon s melta barrels. This was mounted with brute force and ignorance to the original gun mounting.

Next the Close combat weapon. This is Slaanesh. This means Tentacles.
I considered the set from the Maulerfiend, but they were too large, whereas the Helbrute set was a bit too small. so I raider my Dark Eldar bits and found a few sets of Talos tentacles. I think they work well.

The head also came from a Talos. I considered a load of different things from skulls to daemon heads, from maulerfiend to steed of slaanesh heads, but none really worked. The insect like probiscus on these masks swung it for me and made it feel more predatory.

After that I wanted it to have a nod to the old Slaanesh Titans so I gave it a tail made from the Maulerfiend Magma Cutter and switched out the exhausts for Daemon Prince backpacks.

I’m quite pleased with them. I kept them cleaner than I would for a CSM Daemon Engine as I feel that’s how the Dark Mech would roll in comparison.
