Painting [7]
Seems pretty solid, although I wish the army photo was better and showed more detail overall. The detail shots, assuming they are carried over throughout the force, show some decent control and technique for highlighting the red and shading the grey fatigues.
Theme[3]
Not knowing enough about AdMech, I cannot really speak to the theme very well, but I can see the direction here. The use of servitors for HW crews and such come through loud & clear.
Individuality [3]
The GS work on many of these guys, while simplistic, is still well done and adds a touch to
je ne said quoi to the whole thing.
Centrepiece [3]
The use of a Crusader as the officer is a nice touch, but could've used some conversion work to drop all the =][= iconography in favor of AdMech instead. Still, he's painted well and I think it looks solid.
Total: 16pts
I have a caveat on this entry however. The army lists doesn't mention a Chimera anywhere and one squad is illegal, sporting a Heavy Bolter AND Lascannon.
{EDIT: He has since removed the Lascannon ref from his army list} There are 30 models + Chimera in this picture, but only 25 accounted for in the list.
{EDIT: He has clarified the list to include all models} If there is an updated list somewhere, I'd like to know about it. So, I'll score him 16, but give him a -5 hit on Army Composition/Illegal List until we get some clarification on what's really going on here. {EDIT: His new army pix aren't the best, but the new detail shot is really good. I took away any negative modifiers.}
