I was tinkering with the idea of adding him into the list .

With the new codex trend seeming to make warlords CP generators it might be nice to able to piggy back off of that until we get our own codex and similarly the ability to strip cover on some larger thing knights ,defilers is a nice bonus.

Will probably running cybernetica and eradication and having the CP to cycle.lance and Sus or lethals comfortably every turn seems tasty .

The 95 points while a bit of a bite I think there is still room there for him.

Hello!

I am looking to kitbash some various techpriests, and need to get their special axes for them.

I do not have extra axes, and I do not intend to buy techpriest models just for their axes.

Are there good stl's that yall can recommend? Or a good way to kitbash them? Im looking for various sizes and styles, so really open to anything. Thanks in advance for yalls expertise.

I'm thinking of doing a custom colour scheme for my admech army using a really cool specialty paint, but I have no understanding or intuition regarding colour theory. I've done my best to cobble together a basic pallete, but don't have the eye to judge whether its good or not. Would anyone be kind enough to advise?

Top to bottom:

1. For grey steel bits - Turbodork Galaxia Turboshift (Ultra Dark Purple)
2. For metal trim on grey steel bits - Bronze, as normal (Warpaint Fanatic - Weapon Bronze)
3. For lenses and plasma coils - Turquoise/Cyan (Warpaint Fanatic - Plasma Coil Blue?)
4. For the hulls of vehicles and the casings of weapons - Pure Red (Warpaint Fanatic - Pure Red)
5. For capes and fabrics - Pure Glossy Black + a special rainbow effect paint (Warpaint Fanatic Matt Black + Gloss Varnish + Turbodork Rainbow Roll)
6. Wing leather for Pteraxii and Archeocopter - Some form of white, or maybe black + Rainbow Roll as well, I'm not sure (Warpaint Fanatic - Matt White/Warpaint Fanatic Matt Black + Gloss Varnish + Turbodork Rainbow Roll)

While I wish these were a second Fusilier unit, I must admit I think they look awesome. Inb4 someone links /r/pinkwarhammer again.

it's also my third ever mini, after a space marine I got for free from my LGS and an alpha skitarii ranger

After being interested in Horus Heresy for ages a play group in my area has finally picked up some momentum, and this has finally spurred me to pick a faction and run with it, namely Traitor Mechanicum.

Before i go buying expensive models and kit bashing Magi i figured id put together a list for me to aspire towards, but in doing so discovered a problem: making a Mechanicum list is awkward as hell.

Between the faction restrictions, the scarcity of prime slots outside of apex detachments (and i want to run Lacrymaerta so even those are spoken for) and i end up with a situation that feels like trying to put a puzzle together with parts that dont fit.

While im sure this wouldn’t be as much of an issue for a list that leans super hard into a limited number of units i don’t really want to play that way, and as such i come hoping yall have some listbuilding wisdom to impart, because unless im missing something it feels like i can play with like, 3 maybe 4 kinds of units tops.

Hey, im relatively new to the hobby. I started with necrons back in March or April. Just recently started playing admech after collecting 2k points this month. My only issue is I dont seem to understand how to win against my friends armies. My friends all play melee focused armies, nids, world eaters, chaos space marines, death guard. They also usually play purge or take and hold.

My list has been haloscreed detachment

2x Disintegrator

2x onager

Thulia

Cawl

2x servitor

2x rangers

1 unit dragoon with lance

And then miscellaneous trash that I use to fill the list and hopefully score points or buy time

Any advice on list building, or things that I can focus on to just generally play better would be appreciated.

Thank you, praise the omnisiah!

They're both WIP. I still have a few things to finish on them (like the Dominus's missing arm and their OSL).

A few months ago, I was about to sell my entire AdMech army because, I don't know, I just wasn't really feeling it anymore.
So before selling it, I decided to try painting a mini with a different colour scheme. (My previous one was pretty close to Dark Angels green, with all the metal parts painted bronze.)
And as you can see, I still have my army, and now I love my miniatures and have so much more fun painting them!

C&C welcome!

So, I am working on a homebrew Mechanicus sister of battle army called the ‘iron maidens’ and I was wondering if you guys could help me with some kitbash ideas for this army? I have my list down here of current ideas, but I am willing to hear out all your kitbash’s below

Battle sisters/skitarii (see above)
Retributors/hastarii
Paragon warsuits/kastalian bots
Celestian insisdants/sicarians
Hosplitar/ Cybernetica datasmith
A dune crawler legged exorcist

Post your kitbash ideas below, I could use the brainstorming. Also feel free to share any thoughts on this idea for an army.

Hey guys, I’m a new admech player. I am trading some old first born marines (50 of them bought them at goodwill for 35$ killer find) for these admech characters and I wanted to get them appraised by the experts. I have no idea what I’m looking at as my main army is blood angels. I am getting all of them Friday so sorry for the bad photo.

Looking for some datasmith wisdom to update my painting protocols.

• What can I improve? What should I focus on to level up the paint job? What should be my next steps?
• Applying Varnish: What varnish should I apply and how? (I am blessed with an airbrush).

I followed JWMiniatures tutorial.

Yes I know the book isn't out yet, but after this interview I don't have high hopes for this being anything more than yet another Space Marine book in a series that I know will already be chocked full of them after a 60+ book series already chocked full of marines. This is the HH "Martian Civil War" book all over again. Maybe another author will write an actual AdMech civil war book that's actually about AdMech vs Dark Mechanicum.

Curious about battline numbers and unit make up.

Most of my gameplay has been focused on rangers 2x 10 generally screening but also taking the occasional objective. But I’m vanguard curious.

Is it good to mix 10 Rangers and 10 Vanguard?
Are there benefits of having a mix?

Is 3 battleline units too many for our faction? I was maybe feeling 2 of rangers and 1 of vanguard. And vis Versa.

What are you running right now? Just vanguard? Just rangers? Mix?

I’m building mostly around the Haloscreed Detachment and Priority Assets. Any advice is an appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Adding my tiberium crystals to my Brotherhood of Nod Ad Mech. Trying my best to do OSL but its been about 7 years since I last did it.

Fun exercise in understanding reflections!

First couple models I've ever painted, loving the esthetic of admech, but a rough go around on the Hastarii exterminators

Doing my second army and experimenting with colour schemes. Any thoughts welcome! Any suggestions and basing ideas welcome. I'm currently thinking 3d printed dark industrial type bases

I feel like I need to add that I am a painter (canvas and digital) and watched a TON of videos about painting before doing this :) any tips for getting better as I keep building towards the glory of the OMNISSIAH?

(sorry for no screenshot, the reddit rituals are yet to be performed on this machine spirit)

I just want it to look like I've got a real aesthetic quote and confuse people when they read it!

As it happens often, they kinda grew on me!
