I bought a unit of second-hand Mechanithralls some years ago. Even though I'd have painted them a bit differently (less Blood for the Blood God!!!), they look good enough for me not to repaint them. Recently I wanted to add 3 Brute Thralls to the unit. They are really nice models, but mono-pose and are realtively pricy. So I looked into my bits box, trying to find proper parts for some kitbashing... ...and I managed to build all 3 of them for 0$ using just spare body- and mechanical parts. Necrosurgeons would be proud   With my painting I tried to stay true to the colour scheme of the Mechanithralls I already owned.  And here they are, all together.  |

pretty good! they fit in just fine.
Which bits did you use for the heads? Looks like ghouls or orcs? Whole thing kind of gives me mantic sci-fi vibes.
I do have to say I'm not a big fan of the color on the shirts. I think it sticks out too much, too bright and saturated compared to the very understated skin colors.
I also think they would've looked better (and more IK) if you added smokestacks, but that's probably an entire project in terms of sculpting work. I doubt I could do it, sculpting it evidently not my strong suit.

Very nice, great conversion work and well painted. I like the skin tones. There's something about your colour choices and clean painting that makes them remind me of saturday morning cartoon characters. I like it.

Very nice work! I agree that smokestacks might have made them fit in better, but they look pretty slick as is. What bits did the hands come off of? I've been looking to kitbash a few of these myself, but I could never really find hands that looked like they fit a Brute Thrall.
