Machine Cult Pilgrims of Tor Megiddo, part 3, The Rustguard

The Rustguard are a company of unpleasant mercenaries, paid to protect the Machine Cult Pilgrims as they search the rust-wastes of Tor Megiddo for lost gods. The Pilgrims don't know it but they are a band of cutthroats and extremely untrustworthy, they will probably betray the Pilgrims at the first opportunity.

This was a really quick project - the models were assembled a few years ago as the Skinnymen, my Van Saar gang that I built and painted (and played a campaign with) before GW released Necromunda in 2017 and updated all the gangs in new plastic. They are made from Genestealer Cukts bodies with Tempestus Scion arms.

I have repurposed them for Tor Megiddo, by replacing the Space Wolf heads I used with heads from Adeptus Mechanicus Vanguard, Necromunda Cawdor and a Tempestus Scion. 

I resprayed them Mechanicus Standard Grey, drybrushed them all over with Ushabti Bone and washed them with Nuln Oil. Then I picked out a few areas for brighter colours and knocked the bright colours down again with weathering and rust.
