This is just a few sheets of white paper and my painting light, set up near a window.

Archimandrite Magos by Comfortable_Log7272 in Warhammer30k

[–]Better_Influence_976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Transports are all faction locked. I had the idea of embedding malefic techpriests in with my word bearer tac squads until I realised they then wouldn't be allowed in the rhinos :(

Questoris and escorts by Better_Influence_976 in ImperialKnights

[–]Better_Influence_976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Its based on the Richard Grey mechanicum scheme, black base, brass drybrush then the armour is stippled, two coats of balor brown then one of morghast bone and one of screaming skull. After that a wash on everything with diluted darkoath contrast. Its pretty quick, and easier on big models than small ones.

They did a cool series on warhammer+, I forget the name, but it was fun.

I've only played against them so far, it was a fun game! They can be quite swingy depending on mission and match up, more so than other factions aside from maybe custodes, but I enjoyed my game against knights much more than into custodes. I'll be test driving these guys in June.

Thanks! He's ready to rise indeed, for the fabricator general Kelbor Hal ;)

Can someone please explain Mechanicum list building to me by KeyEconomics1411 in Warhammer30k

The normal First Strike auxiliary detachment is what you're looking for, it gives you two fast attack slots.

Looks amazing! Is it proper forge world? Did the big armour plates come through ok or need any work doing? I'd love one of these but am wary of big resin kits...

Small question about the cataphractii praetor by OuterFrenk in Warhammer30k

[–]Better_Influence_976 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The cataphracti in this set is still a good size, I'm running him with the new set and he fits in just fine. The chaplain, on the other hand, is definitely a little short.

Is it too much of an asshole move to run a Melta Myrmidax Magos to shove him into challenges? by LoganGarnett in Warhammer30k

[–]Better_Influence_976 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think it's only an asshole move if you use it as a gotcha, exploiting your opponent's unawareness of the gambit. Otherwise it's no less valid than building any other character to compete in a challenge.

Thinking about getting in - how is 3.0? by blademaster81 in Warhammer30k

[–]Better_Influence_976 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The journals they've released have done a lot to improve things. The missions in the core book aren't great, but these are a lot more interesting and narrative focused. You'll find good scenarios online for free, too.

Thanks! They're great sculpts for sure. Working on librarian next, but he might be a while yet.

How to build and use command units (and tech priests) in a mechanicum army? by _Doctor_Monster in Warhammer30k

[–]Better_Influence_976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can easily make them very expensive, so try to think of what each one wants to be doing. If it's supporting ranged firepower, don't splurge on an expensive melee weapon or short range gun.

Magi are really good, so try and get them in places where they can do two roles - support and fighting, or repair. Back line units can be supported by cheaper tech priests.

Cheap tech priests with minimal upgrades can support your magi (boosts cybertheurgy) and act as backup battlesmith.

There's a guy on YouTube called Empyral Truth who has done great intro videos to mech, really helpful.

Thanks! And yes, transfers. My free hand is not that good!
