Penitent Engine - Warhammer 40k

[BardDandelion]

Hello, would like to share my newest model of unit from Warhammer 40k universe.

"Penitent Engines charge towards the foe heedless of danger, knowing that only in death, theirs or the enemy’s, can absolution be earned. The arms of the engine, mounted with enormous flamers, blaze a trail of fiery destruction as it thunders forwards. Upon reaching the enemy, the chemical and synaptic inputs pumped into the pilot are altered, causing them to see their own face in the faces of their foes. Thrashing at those before it, each a reflection of their unfathomable guilt, they rampage through the enemy’s battle lines leaving death and carnage in their wake."

Cool and very 40k-ish model! I like the leg mechanisms and the purity seals. And new torch pieces look good on the back.

As for the minifigure, its torso looks a bit out of place, but it's funny to think that Sisters of Battle caught arch-heretic Bricksterus and made him suffer for the rest of his life.

And from what set the gear blades are? This mold fits 40k well.

Would love to see more Warhammer MOCs... Speaking of which, I've gotta show you guys my Adeptus Mechanicus Battlepack I made in LDD!

Really awesome way you made the legs! Really cool build!

It's a hard life, but somebody has to live it.

I second this! This is great, nice work, and I don’t recognise the serrated round blades with the drill bits in the centre? Very curious as to what those are from, they look great!

@Farseer Petriel
I think torso is good enough. Pilot in GW figurine has striped trausers. This type of clothing is instantly recognizable as prisoner outfit and that was my goal to achieve. And really wanted to do something with that City torso I would never think I use otherwise. :P
@Fenghuang0296
Blades are from Bionicle playsets (~2006), there were plenty of weapons like this - e.g. giant chainswords (used it in my Sisters Repentia minifigures).

@Eggyslav
Always waiting for more LEGO40k. Give us your AdMech!

@Jerry McGlade
Thank you sir. ;)

@SteamSewnEmpire
He probably deserved it. :P

I think the base really helps the model overall, great job
