That said, there are a lot of haters out there on the interwebs who question why you would ever take an engineer on a Monstrous Mechanical Steed of Muppetry. And while I would agree that in most cases this may be true - an engineer is best used as support - this isn't the only reasons to put a model on the board. He just adds so much character to the game and put with a unit of pistoliers it really adds to the randomness and feel of the Empire. I've used him in a unit of pistoliers in this way before and been pleased with the results, no they didn't vanguard but, man it was great when I had to charge them in to combat against some greenskin fast cavalry!
And so, behold! The Marvellous Mechanical Monstrosity of Miraculous Meandering! Piloted by 'Mad' Otto von Ritterberg with repeater pistol.
Painting wise, I followed an old WD article and the guide by Neil Green, who I think is a great painter and a really clear guide in giving details/steps.
I should say that the metal legs and head are much brighter than the metals that I usually do for Empire and I went all the way up to Mithril Silver for this one.
Love to hear your thoughts on this one.
