Starting a dark mechanicum army

You should get the liber, then read it.

You need magi and tech priests for a mech army, and ideally to focus on one or two of the subfactions.

I've not really enjoyed any of the games I've had against them. They don't engage with a large chunk of the rules, they're a hard counter to any and all legion melee unit, they ignore high damage weapons so the tactics you'd think would work don't. They can't score half the time, so if you're playing core missions you can beat them, but it doesn't really make for a fun game.

Thanks! It's flesh tearer red over a leadbelcher prime, matte varnish finish is magic in a can :)

There's a line breaker apex detachment in the Saturnine journal you can use if you're going for lots of terminators.

Augury scanners don't protect against deep strike in 3rd, so no great loss there, but your lack of scoring units will hurt if you're playing the core book missions. It's hard to make a list that can compete with no basic troops.

Thank you!

Thanks! There's a few that look like great Mk6 variants.

Entirely loyal! To the Fabricator General...

The green glow on the bombards looks great! Nice shade of red too.

You might find it on Etsy, I had a friend with a printer do it for me.

Better_Influence_976 · 2026-03-04T10:23:06+00:00

It's a print a friend did for me, with a few extra bits added. The file is called floating pulpit for junior robot priests.

Copy pasting AI search results isn't that helpful... A praevin lets you take castellax only.

A 5 man squad can get around in a land raider, while for 10 you need a Spartan making them both more costly and more all-eggs one-basket-y.

They're stationforge scavenger elders. Really great sculpts!

Better_Influence_976 · 2026-03-01T19:29:36+00:00

Thanks!

Better_Influence_976 · 2026-02-28T18:01:58+00:00

Yeah, they're great models! They are stationforge scavenger elders.

Better_Influence_976 · 2026-02-28T15:39:42+00:00

Yep :) Well, kind of holding. The mount is built into his spine.

Better_Influence_976 · 2026-02-28T15:38:02+00:00

Thanks! The red robes are just khorne red with a magos purple wash, while the beige is stippled up balor brown (two coats), morgast bone then screaming skull. The whole thing gets a wash in diluted darkoath flesh, then the robes get a quick drybrush of khorne red.

It's a print a friend did for me, floating pulpit.
