Legio Cybernetica Datasmith Conversion - Part 2

I managed to find a few hours (alright, it was technically closer to 4) to paint the Legio Cybernetica Datasmith conversion I posted yesterday.

After a couple of decades in the hobby, I'm definitely leaning towards fast and effective paint jobs, rather than slaving over every detail. This took a little longer than the standard "battle ready" approach that's common in the Warhammer 40k hobby, but I like the compromise.

The "secret" if you can call it that seems to be mixing some of the Eavy Metal style of painting miniatures with Grimdark approach. What you end up with is a miniature that reads well on the table thanks to the slightly extreme highlighting style, but with a bit more grit and grime. It's a style that suit me, and appeals to my own aesthetic sensibilities... and importantly my (lack of) available hobby time.

Anyhow, I built this Legio Cybernetica Datasmith conversion as a bit of a palate cleanser after putting together a bunch of new Astra Militarum models that I'll hopefully feature here in the coming days.
