bluntblade Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I don't know if her face is still human, but so far I'm extremely happy with this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamy248 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Awesome. I was in contact with Talonair, and he said that her face was unaugmented, so I figured it would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonair Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Loving it so far. I would suggest making her eyes and nose perhaps a little smaller, they seem a little exaggerated. But other than that I'm loving it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamy248 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Yeah I noticed that too. I'll do that tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonair Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 I've decided to increase the strength of the Omnissian greataxe used by the Myrmidon Custos at the expense of increasing their points cost. I wanted to differentiate the axes from 'just' a Two-handed MC power axe, and the mechanic of 'Lose all but one attack to make one S8 attack' seems to be emerging more and more in GW and FW publications. What do people think of the change? (For reference, the Strength of the weapon has changed, normal attacks are now at +2 strength, whilst the decapitation strike is now X2 strength) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonair Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 On the topic of Myrmidons, I had a thought for the 'Rite of war' equivalent for the Mechanicum Abyssii; a Myrmidon War Covenant. Essentially, they can take Myrmidons as Troops, must fill their compulsory troops with Myrmidons etc etc. Anyone have any ideas for drawbacks and advantages for this army?

Talonair Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Long shot to get any feedback apparently, but I had an idea for the Myrmidon Custos, a halberd that's an optional replacement for the axes. Lower strength, maybe AP3, but not unwieldy and can make Sweep attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 You make that the standard weaponry for abyssii myrmidons. Spunds cool and hellebardes are always.cool weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonair Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'd like to leave it as an optional upgrade. Axes are very much more the signature weapon of the Mechanicum. I do wonder just how useful the halberd would be, however, given that the lack of Unwieldy would just mean they hit at I2 rather than I1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonair Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Archmagos Myrmidax Silon Rex is almost built! Once he's painted up, I'll post pictures of him and the other Archmagi MikhalLeNoir, simison and foamy248 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonair Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Next up will likely be the Skitarii Decontaminators, after that probably the Myrmidon Custos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonair Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've started work on converting Mortera. I'm using St. Celestine minus her wings, halo, swords and various fleur de lis as a base, along with a Necron Wraith as the mechanical portion of her. The Celestine part will be essentially where the Wraith's 'head' should be, and will feature various mechadendrites where the normal Wraith arms go, along with some techy-looking bits on the back of the wraith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonair Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 So, the first Skitarii Decontaminators have been assembled! Currently numbering six, one being an Alpha, they are unpainted, but I'd like feedback regardless http://imgur.com/gallery/jME7Z For those interested, this six man squad would cost 115pts (60 for the unit, 10 for an extra Skitarii, 10 for Rad Grenades, 15 for the rad-cleanser, 10 for the Lucifex, and 10 for the power weapon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So, I'm (who is neophyte with all things Mechanicum) assuming this is a unique unit with the Abyssii? Regardless, they look. I greatly appreciate the fluff explanations to go with the pictures which helped me have a good idea of their role. Talonair 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonair Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Yep, they're one of the Abyssii unique units. Their rules are on Page 3 of this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonair Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Work is progressing on Mortera, albeit slowly. Right now she's in two big parts; St. Celestine sans wings, sword, birbs and various Fleur de Lis, and the other part is a Necron Wraith body, currently mounting a rad-cleanser on an arm to the side. I've made her first disruption fork (a taser goad on a long arm made from Wraith arms), and I've ordered the model I'm going to need to do much of the other parts. The model in question is none other than https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0034/6452/products/Nepharya-box-front_005b37ac-636f-4df7-8cac-f6e0b4f1f62c.jpg?v=1456425442 I will primarily be using the scythe and the various mech tentacles. I will probably end up using her 'halo' of vials, and may even use the legs, not sure yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hehe. She would have been my base for morthera as well^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
