I don't think the first one was bad or even sexualized, its just a matter of how age/seniority and how far down the path of worship to the Machine God a member of the Cult Mechanicus is. The lower rank members tend to be much, much more human and with her simpler robes and mechanical parts its clear your first conversion read more as 'young lady of the mechanicus' while this one is an old, saggy crone of old wrinkled flesh and weird metal parts. Both are completely valid esthetics for a Tech Priestess and represent the opposite ends of youth versus old age.

yeah, this is basically a feminine manipulus while the other is more of an enginseer (also a thing i really like about the original manipulus techpriests and some of the designs in the mechanicus games is how they are somewhat androgynous, since the admech dont care about gender expression really)

In classic Admech fashion the model gradually transcends beyond her asigned gender. Love it

Really good effort. I've been looking for a decent model for a Tech Priest. I overlooked this one. I think I'll start off with Fabius Bile but this Nurgle model is pretty useful for this purpose.

Dude this fantastic, this is what I imagine a tech priestess would actually look like.

This kind of kitbashing is my what-I-want-to-do-when-I-grow-up. #lifegoals Thanks for another amazing video!

Fantastic kitbash

“Once I discovered the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me...”

Looks wonderfully creepy. Good job

I actually really enjoyed what you had 2:47-2:57. I might try exactly that or something similar for a dark mechanicum techpriestess (proxy for a Warp Smith)

This model is so fucking SICK

I personally would've stopped at 2:25 and called it there, I like the gut

This is soooo fucking good my dude

okay this looks awesome! I love the pose you ended up with in the end! Just out of curiosity, have you ever thought of using the static hand weapon things of Corpuscarii electro-priests for a kitbash?

2:23 personally I prefer this version than final one. Looks like (that annoying fly on my window) she was plotting how to rob another necron tomb.

This is a grim dark Tech Priestess I do have to say I would love to see a larger model tho maybe something the size of Cawl

Yoooo lit asf boooy

I'd love to see you kitbash a Thunder Warrior.

From the thumbnail i thought it was gonna be a chaos tech priest

Looks really cool but I’d like to see how it turns out painted

I'm sad, I really wanted to do a take on this adding some trailing cabling but it appears the model is no longer available anywhere that I can locate :(

Im 4 models in and loving it, though I must say tho that I bought a pack of miliput just to learn to sculpt and even kitbash, you awakened me to try and do that, as well as try to craft shields, or even little skills for bases (they aren’t good tho...) Gotta ask, what is your input on miliput vs Green stuff? Is greenstuff a bit more soft vs miliput? Miliput is a pain to sculpt

IMO you should have carved off the nurgle belly first and kept the manipulus belly. You could have still changed the arms and maybe added a few more tiny tech bits and maintained the idea of a wise tech priestess. Plus, you wound up cutting off the belly of the nurgle kit anyway xD

So I largely use bit sites, because often I just want a piece of two from a given set and it's cheaper that way. That's said, if you're going to be using the full kit it can sometimes be more effective just to buy the full kit. So for example, with this build I bought the full wurmspat kit because I knew I would use all of it, while the manipulus parts I got off a bit site.

Hunched and gaunt? That is some serious bodyshaming the Adeptus Excitatus wants a word with you.

Right right, it was looking "goood". Jokes aside, nice job!

Scaevola, is that you?

This reads really well as a techpriest, but it doesn't really read as female to me. Carving out the front was necessary, but it left her gender rather difficult to discern-- All that's left, after all, are her hips to go by. I'd be absolutely down to see this girl on the table, though!

Granny gray wires

"I want a female tech priest.". *immediately removes the only identifying female characteristic*. LOL! I got a chuckle over that. Still an awesome kitbash/conversion! I think it would have been worth it to go back a resculpt the breasts, or leave those off and sculpt in a long glorious braid. Like she wanted to remove the weakness of flesh, but still loves her hair. Inspirational for me, since my collection is very lacking in female characters (because I REFUSE to have over sexualized miniatures). Over half the ones I do have, I've had to sculpt clothes or armor on them for it to even make sense and look like they fit.

I absolutely love this, though as others have said I don't think she particularly reads as female anymore (not that she reads as male either; it's a bit of a moot point when it comes to techpriests of a certain age anyway). But if she wants to tell me she's a woman, I'm not inclined to argue. :p
