Myrmidon Velites and Skitarii

Also on the desk at the moment are my Myrmidon Velites. I was very tempted to go full-on Greco warriors with these models, but that would be too far beyond the flavour of the rest of my Skitarii. While the force for March will be a 'loyal' army, I still want it to integrate with my Dark Mechanicum collection.

So, like the new blend of Skitarii, I'm toying with Renegade heads again. This time, I'm using more bits and a bit of sculpting.

New Skitarii experiments

With a major overhaul (read: complete re-write) of the Mechanicus codex, it's a little difficult to decide (or know) what my army will comprise come March.

Apart from Skitarii. Everyone has Skitarii!

Rather than re-work my older Skitarii, I fancied trying some new builds. I don't want to alienate new from old, but I do want something different.

The Mechanicum return to the skies

The new-style Mechanicum is well into conception, although I have no new pictures to show you just yet. In fact, I still haven't taken any pictures of my Iron hands from last month. I will get on top of that soon.

Unless there are some major problems with the codex I aim to field a force of Airborne Mechanicum. The army will include 2 Iron Wyvern Gyrocopters, 1-2 Storm Ravens, Robots and whatever jump infantry are required to fill the gaps.

Hello Godhammer!

In March, the Mechanicum return. This means I get to dig out my 4,000-odd points of red coats to play bolter-fodder once more. Or does it?

Godhammer is a Forgeworld and the focal point of the 6th Age of the Emperor instalment. Everyone with a spaceboat has their eye on the planet...

It's our planet and we're going to keep it that way, Omnissiah-willing!

Farewell Golconda

I can only blame the 6-week drought of posts on my inability to manage my hobby time and get my army done for the event last weekend! With the panic now over and the most enjoyable event now over, it is time to reflect and get back to planning future projects.
