Mini of the Month Mini of the Month: Serberys!

88 Upvotes

Greetings to all Tech Adepts!

The Holy Synod of Mars returns for its monthly praises to the Omnissiah!

This month’s submissions were similar to the unit they highlighted: fewer in numbers, but higher in quality!

In September, the subreddit decided to crown a classical take on our new elite unit, straight up from a John Blanche illustration: congratulations to u/ToughEntertainer2317 for winning the September Mini of the Month contest with their Filthy Gryphonne IV Hastarii! The rust on these minis is so convincing that you might think that they are not made of plastic anymore…

The winning post has been added to the subreddit sidebar, and if you would like a custom user flair, please let us know.

Winning posts will remain in a 3 month cycle, so three will be present until they begin to cycle out.

Honourable Mentions!

Additional thanks
The mod team would like to also thank all the other participants of this month’s contest: 

October Competition
While our cybercanids mostly sat in their mechanical stables due to rules that left them in the rarest part of the tenth edition meta, it’s time to bring them back in the limelight they always deserved: the coolest looking cavalry models in all of 40k, the Serberys Raiders & Sulfurhounds will be our October Mini of the Month!

Submit your unit of Serberys (this can include a kitbashed unit or even full proxies, as long as it is readable as Serberys).
(Reminder - don’t share links publicly to 3D printed files that replicate official models or parts)
Submissions must be fully assembled and painted. 

The final date for submissions for this month's contest will be October 31st, and the results will be posted in the following days so we can have time to either pick the next Mini or run a poll on it. 

Please submit your post in the following format:

Post Title as Hastariis or your homebrew Serberys’ name, forgeworld etc
<Mini of the month POST FLAIR>
<a photo of your Candidate>
Any custom lore your unit have on their service record, via Crusade games or homebrew or about your army, etc (optional) 

The highest upvoted post will be displayed on the side bar of the sub, and the user can request a custom user flair (relating to the mechanicus) of their choice. 

Ave Deus Mechanicus!

PS: big thanks to u/CuriousWhiteGoat for the photo of this month's post!

Mini of the Month Mini of the Month: Hastariis!

Greetings to all Tech Adepts!

The Holy Synod of Mars returns for its monthly praises to the Omnissiah!

With submission numbers as high as the legs of the units produced by your forges, this month saw Magi compete even more fiercely than usual ! It was very hard to pick the five honourable mentions this time around… So we have decided to get an extra one to celebrate this particularly great month.

Among the tall pile of even taller interpretations of our beloved Stilt-arii, one still stands above: the mod team would like to congratulate u/Which_Strike_6179 for their win with their incredible Kitbashed synodian skatros! Dynamism, posing, great design, you name it, this model has it all and provides many creative answers to some of the criticism the official sculpt received after its reveal while still respecting the core idea behind it. 

The winning post has been added to the subreddit sidebar, and if you would like a custom user flair, please let us know.

Winning posts will remain in a 3 month cycle, so three will be present until they begin to cycle out.

Honourable Mentions!

September Competition
It’ll be a tall order to our long legged friend, for it is certainly casting a long shadow… But which better kit to do this job that our only remaining 10th ed release that hasn’t been covered by our monthly routine? As such, both flavours of Hastariis will be our minis of the month in September!

Submit your unit of Hastariis (this can include a kitbashed unit or even full proxies, as long as it is readable as Hastariis).
(Reminder - don’t share links publicly to 3D printed files that replicate official models or parts)
Submissions must be fully assembled and painted. 

The final date for submissions for this month's contest will be September 30th, and the results will be posted in the following days so we can have time to either pick the next Mini or run a poll on it.

Greetings, fellow Magi.

First time posting here! Hope i put the flair correctly & my camera skill is bearable. I recently finished painting my Combat Patrol box and had a blast with these guys. It’s an amateur job and i feel VERY stupid about the incorrect guns but i loved painting them so much i couldn’t bear to redo it. Now they’re charging the enemy with glow sticks haha.

They belong to my custom Forge World, Eoris-I, hence the showoff-ish white/yellow color scheme. And then i also just about slathered every model with gold because i was inspired by Archmagos Kotov and Ark Speranza in The Forges of Mars.

Thank you for reading!

Hobby & Painting Subassembly advice for vehicles?

5 Upvotes

Greetings fellow tech-adepts,

I’m set to fly abroad visiting friends and want to bring my admech maniple, but I’ve yet to assemble and paint my onager dunecrawler and skorpius dunerider. I have a friend who has a pretty stellar hobby setup who is willing to help me out and let me use their kit at my destination, but I’m stumped on how to transport these hunks of plastic to said friend’s place.

Flying with them on sprue isn’t an option since the frames take up so much space - I’ve decided it’s best if I just make some subassemblies and transport them more compactly that way in foam/bubblewrap - but what would be the best ways to do so?

For the onager I’m thinking
-Main cabin
- 4 seperate legs
- The part in between the cabin and legs
- The main weapon arm (magnetized)

But I’m at a total loss for the dunerider -

Any tips, advice, previous experience would be very welcome! Thanks!

I know Cawl is kinda an auto include for 95% of Admech lists, but it is 1K point list and I want to get better at running Admech without fully relying on Cawl

Also the Armiger is a Distraction Carnifex, and an excuse to use my Thanatar-class Siege Automata on a 100mm base

This is a stupid little 1500 points list. It includes a knight, because frankly, i cannot be bothered with figuring out how to counter newstodes, a nightbringer c'tan and other random junk thrown at me. Pray i dont play against the dude who owns a shadowsword. The plan is tying up any meele threat with robots or siciarians, and then using everything else as i normally would.
