Tehnolog and Souldark: A first impression

I ordered some Tehnolog terrain from Souldark and it arrived today. I placed the order on February 7th, so it takes about a month to ship to Australia from their Russian place of business. I ordered 3 Repulse Line wall sprues and 1 Repulse Line Windows sprue, just to test out and see if the company and the product were worthwhile. The sprues were 3 USD each and shipping was 10 USD., coming to a total of about 35 AUD





The kits arrived already removed from the frames, with no damage from the shipping. Nice!




From the four sprues I was able to make a small building of some kind and a redoubt/fortified point. A base of a statue, perhaps? The pieces click together with a lego technic-ish system of rods and slots. It was a little bit fiddly, and the windows had an inverted design compared to the walls. It's hard to explain but if you do a ratio of 3:1 you should be fine. While the door to the larger structure does open, there's no real interior to speak of.





The pieces are well in scale for 40k and necromunda, and the price is very, very good, especially when compared to GW kits of similar size. When you take into account the ease of assembly and disassembly, I can see these being a big hit on the Necromunda scene for making dense hives.


The final verdict is a solid recommend. I will definitely be trying some more Tehnolog kits in the future. I can't wait to get some paint on these.

Peasant Hollow

The unfortunates that eke out a living in Gerezman are a pallid, withered lot. Mortals dwelling in the death-haunted, dimly lit lands often resemble cadavers even before they die.

This miniature is just a simple re-creation of a Peasant Hollow from Dark Souls 3. The arms and hat are from Mantic scarecrow and the head is from Mantic zombies. The body is a GW flagellant, possibly the best body ever to base Aos28 or Inq28 conversions on.





Deus Est Mechanicum

The Adeptus Mechanicus of Gerezman have long been in isolation from the rest of their brotherhood on Mars. Divergences have emerged, splitting them off of the hegemonic orthodoxy. They are fractured into factions, with more conservative and tradition-centric priests residing upon the planet's moon. The adepts that work upon the planet's surface more permanently are more divergent, and cast out renegades and hereteks have fled into the dark corners of the world.


The Cult Mechanicus are one of my favorite 40k factions. There's so much space to sprawl out and go wild with the aesthetic choices. With the right marrying of bitz, anything can be made to look like an adept of Mars.
