Gearbound Mek

🔧⚙️ Gearbound Mek – The Scrapyard Tinkerer

"If it's broken, he'll fix it. If it works, he'll modify it until it explodes!" 🔧⚙️

Every greenskin horde needs a brain to keep the scrap tanks running and the guns shooting, and the Gearbound Mek is exactly that guy. Armed with a ridiculously oversized industrial pipe wrench for "percussive maintenance" and a custom-built, scoped heavy revolver, this clever little gremlin is always ready to tune up a Dakkabot or patch up a Warboss.

From his grease-stained leather apron packed with tiny wrenches to the copper fuel tank strapped to his back, this model is bursting with mechanical charm and character.

💡 Painting Tip:

For the copper tank on his back, try painting it with a bright bronze or copper metallic base. Then, add a very thin wash of turquoise paint or specialized verdigris technical wash around the pipes and rivets to simulate oxidized metal. It gives the tank a fantastic, realistic weathered look that contrasts beautifully with his green skin! 🧪🎨🔧
