I put this together using the admech techpriest dominus body as a base.

I love it! Obviously it's going to be much arger than a regular Haemonculus (those Domini are bulky chaps) but it looks cool as a unique character.

Really cool conversion! The hunchback mad scientist look is great.

Luckily, it still fits (and is stable) on a 25mm base.

Strange, didnt think it would work out. It looks very good, I would say better than the standard model!

I had seen one or two other attempts at this online, but they looked a little off to me, so I decided to take a crack at it myself. Theoretically, the tattered cloak and heavy body mods should lend itself well to a haemonculus conversation. Granted, this particular haemonculus is definitely one who has gone all-in on his biomechanical modifications.

Love it. I have a spare Dominus model actually. This could be a good use for him!!!

That's a great conversion! It's a shame the new codex doesn't allow give our Haemonculi options to represent the wargear you've got there though. Now I don't know whether I want a dominus for my Ad Mech or another Haemonculus conversion for the Coven!

Thanks! The lack of wargear options for the haemonculus really bites. After reading the Necron codex, I was expecting them to give haemonculi similar treatment to what they did with crypteks.
Well, I guess that hexrifle is now a really fancy stinger pistol, and the whip is part of his repertoire of 'haemonculus tools'.

Oh that's very nice. The body is just perfect for a haemonculus.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the head. I hope I'm not stepping out of line by saying this but it looks slightly odd, possibly because of the shape of the cowl/neck.
I'm just wondering whether it would actually be the perfect shape for one of the Wych helmets if you cut off the bottom half (so that the upper 'dome' would be flush against the neck).
I hope you won't take this the wrong way as it still looks fantastic regardless. It was just something that occurred to me as I looked at it.

I do think that either a wyche helmet or one of the fighter pilot helmets might work very well as a head for this type of conversion. It's just that I wanted my model to go for the bare-faced look, and this is what I got - though admittedly, it does result in a massive metal collar thing when doing that.

That's entirely fair.
I just thought I'd mention it since it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the shape of the collar.
