More Machine Cult, More Better

So for better or worse I'm still putting together and painting the Mechanicum.  I truly love the Horus Heresy better than reg 40k.  As OP as the 30k rules sound with primarchs etc, they always seem to balance out with the 2 armies.  I know this is due to the fact that everyone is a space marine and allies are pretty much all bros ( very balanced in gear and powers ).


All these are WIP and finshed pics will follow ( I just forgot to take the final pics )

Up first is the core of the Mechanicum fighting force. The Thallax Cohort.  Think of him as a Mechanicum crisis suit.  I love these guys and with jet packs and objective secured I have 4 squads waiting to pounce.  ( these are done I just forgot to take some more pics )

Next is the Tech priest or adhoc Tech Adept, Castellax, and my tech thralls. The Tech Adepts are awesome and If you take the Macrotech ability for your Magos you get these guys as a troop ( and they can take 8 servitors for cheap!!! ). The model is from Hitech and after some conversion he looks pretty good.  Castellax are the bees knees as well.

Here is the Thallax Knight WIP. The Vallejo metallic bronze is super awesome to apply and be aware it is thinned with alcohol.  It also dries super fast so do not go back and touch up. Work from one side and move to the other. Touch ups after it has set and dried 100%. 

That's all for now.
