Adeptus Mechanicus Banner

[ButterPanda888]

Are there any models for an adeptus mechanicus (specifically a Skitarii) banner bearer with ad mech banner?

I really want one for my custom Ad Mech army of mars.

Not presently.

You could convert the banner from the Space Marine Command Squad box, though. It's blank, so you could add transfers from the AdMech sheet, or - if you have crazy money - icons from Forge World's Iron Hands etched brass sheet.

Why's that crazy money? Even with the 12% shipping that's actually cheaper than the various transfer sheets.

Another alternative would be to carve one of the cogs off the wall of the Manufactorum (http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Manufactorum) and stick it on a pole.

And at those prices I wouldn't buy them either.

I didn't get as good at the hobby side as I am buy paying full price for anything. Necessity, mother, invention and so on.

A very nice idea, although those cogs are bloody enormous for a single infantryman to carry.

As you can see, they're the size of a Land Raider door, which isn't too bad, but they're very thick as well, and while it's not ridiculous to say an infantryman couldn't carry it (what with the infantryman in question having augmetic strength), the tiny pole you'd have to mount it on would look incongrous as all get-out.

A robot, or Battle Servitor could carry it though, bit like those Cenobyte servitors carrying the massive lumps of churches around with them that you get with Grimaldus, and that would look great.

I wuz misled, I tells yer!
Putting the transfer sheet option before the "or, if you have crazy money" rather implied that it didn't require crazy money.

Eh, you only need about half of that thickness to preserve the detail. The back half can be sawn off and sanded down.

Though using the whole thick thing on a Kataphron does have a certain mad appeal.

Get it wearing that thing like the devil's own knuckledusters:

The Imperial Knight transfers would do the job. I was able to copy alot of the house Taranis (based on mars so Id imagine the heraldry would be close but I could be wrong) banner dealies with the sheet.

Thanks for the advice. I have decided to use the space marines company chapter banner and pole and give it to a Skitarii. I will use the Skitarii transfer sheet.

Thanks again.
