Mechanicus based henchmen squad help


Recommended Posts

So I recently got the Inquistion codex and was trying to figure out what to run for the different units. Two I have set in stone already and just need to get the models for, but one I want to run is the good ol' Death Cult/Crusader blend. I want five of each plus two priests. For the priests I already plan on grabbing the Fulgurite elctro-priests since I need a couple for another project anyway, and for the Death cults I was thinking the Ruststalkers would be cool, especially since they have the right wargear and were an elite assassination unit originally.

 

That leaves me with the problem of what to do with the crusaders. Now I need to get one anyway, and they come in pairs, but since most of the unit is already going to be Mechanicus it would be really cool to use something from the Mechanicus line as crusaders with a bit of conversion work. I just have no idea what would make a cool storm shield for Mechanicus though.

 

I'm thinking just a second squad of Ruststalkers with some kind of shield would work, but I have no idea what would look right for it. Any suggestions? Or am I just going to have to kitbash something together.

Maybe with this and a few cuts here and there could work for a Mechanicum storm shield ?

That is perfect actually since I plan on using the two different electro priests to stand in for other henchmen in squads. Partially to make one squad pure mechanicum, another because I don't want the monkeys but I want their rules.

 

It'll be a few weeks until I have all the kits and start building but I'll post pics once I've started.

Lychguard shields....

That was one idea I had but I'd need to scrape off the necron icons, and I have little use for anything else in the kit. The backpack piece for the electro priests should work for what I want.
