I got all excited at the title, I was expecting to get ideas on how to do a Techpriest. Then I read and all my dreams were dashed.

Marine legs, tech helmet and chest from a marine vehicle, bionic arm from the Cadian command, plastic rod and sheet to build a servo-arm...

Ebay? There are a few on there that you could strip and repaint.

i was thinking the same thing for techpriest and servitors from plastic kit. I pretty much though of just hacking them up and attaching chopped up lasgun and tank parts, reconfigured to just be machinery. For servo arms, vox backpacks and spare mechanical bits. maybe 2 inverted chainsword blades...

Lot of money for just one conversion but the Iron Hands squad pack would be very useful for Mechanicus combat power armoured troops... such as the ones in the Guard Codex...

Just try to get a repair servitor arm to use as a servo arm on a marine backpack. You can find them on bits and kits sometimes and the new servitors are resin/ finecast so the weight won't be an issue.

Ooh cool idea I might try I have some old metal servitors so I could saw off the arm and use that And btw how do you make a really nice greenstuff cloak-I made one and it looks terrible And how do you make the actual claw arm This is just getting harder by the minute

I saw a guide on here or maybe youtube about making great GS cloaks...
I cant find where i got this cloak from, its just a cloak on its own that fits all my guard perfectly.

Something to do with making lots of long thin sausages and putting them next to each other

I bought a box of necron warriors for mechanical bits for my guard conversions, I did a few servitors to go with my Techpriest. Back on the right pic is old so may be a bit blury. Lein
