Chaplain-Skylax Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Would it be possible though should i jsut do servitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 That is entirely up to you, what you feel like modeling and painting. You can easily have models count at whatever and use to play with others if you explain how your army works to them. For some inspiration, have a look at the model range in this link, for example.

Chaplain-Skylax Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 wow that site is awesome but would it work i mean there is no viable codex for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todosi Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 You are missing the point I think. Choose a codex, let's say the Imperial Guard Codex and use those rules, but call the units something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain-Skylax Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 ok that make some logical sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius6 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I think that youd better hold off until the new IG codex is out before starting a Skittari army. The removal of Doctrines might make a Skittari army more difficult. Good luck though, my local GW has an AMAZING <_< Ad Mech army in their display case. P.S. Those Iron Brothers are excatlly how i thought GW would model Skittari :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mughi3 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 You are missing the point I think. Choose a codex, let's say the Imperial Guard Codex and use those rules, but call the units something else. Bingo!! I'm on a budget and i am an old school deathwing player so the admech force i am building uses the deathwing list build It will be small, elite and tough the way the mechanicum should be....although the necron codex would probably better represent them.

Splinter Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Considering the toughness of the average Skitarii and the weaponry avaible, it might be an idea to use the Necron codex just with a lot of asthetic changes and allies to suply the tanks.

Senseilord Ashahara Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 New codex; new army. To celebrate the new guard codex (and it's smashing apart of my Penal Legion force. Sigh), my long held ambition to make a Mechanicus force is taking shape. Huzzah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain-Skylax Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 So i guess having a guard codex is the way forward huzzah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senseilord Ashahara Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Anything involving the Guard, ever, is cause for "Huzzah!"'s all round. What I have found in this venture is how hard it is to make convincing servitors though. I miss the catalogue section at the back of the Dwarf and the facility to order parts all the more keenly now. Johnson might be in for an irrate letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly_squig Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 im using guard because alot of the units can be used to represent the mechanicus. i found witch/daemon hunters had some units that could be used but all the good stuff like grey knights where too powerful to represent mechanicus which then left me without alot of decent units to choose from. marines where good but then if i use them as allies with my chaos in apocalypse how do i justify 2 units that look so different having the same stats. here is my idea for units: hq lord commissar - a higher ranking magos company command squad - a lower ranking magos with some bodyguards and helpers techpriest - techpriest :D ministorum priest - preacher elites ogryns - praetorian servitors storm toopers - enhanced/veteran skitarii ratlings - sniper robots/skitarii troops penal legion - chaos cultists (im dark mechanicus but for mechanicus you could use them as some over zealous skitarii) all the other troops - skitarii chimera - chimera fast attack sentinels - secutors rough riders - experimental xenos riders (mechanicus could mount them on a mechanical steed or something similar) hellhounds, valkyrie, vendetta - all stay the same heavy support leman russ squad - knight squad knight commander pask - a knight commander mounted in a knight of course(his name was what gave me the idea for the knights) hydra, manticore, ordinance battery - all stay the same deathstrike missile - could stay the same or could be an ordinatus i did also think of using the basilisk to represent a knight that has given up alot of its armour to carry a long range cannon but i thought the difference in stats between a russ and basilisk may cause confusion for me and my opponant so i thought it should stay the same.

Silber Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 What about Primaris Psykers and Psyker Battlesquads? IMHO those make lovely Electro Priests.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly_squig Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 i wasnt really sure how to represent the powers of the psykers i think lightning arc and soulstorm would work well for an electro priest but weaken resolve and nightshroud dont really fit in ultimate sanction could represent a malfunction in there equipment or something which causes them to become injured and die. but im not going to be using psykers though as all my other armies are based around some form of psyker and i wanted something different in my mechanicus.

Silber Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 All I'm saying is you can use them as Electro-Priests. And well, Nightshroud obviously is lighning for lightning's sake, all over the place, so enemies are blinded and distracted. Easy. Weaken resolve is a little harder, but if you imagine them using their electoos to shell out taser-like shocks instead of roasting them wholesale that could work....

Marshal Rohr Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Veterans with Carapace Armor and Lasguns would be excellent Skitarii counts as, and your spot on with the Storm Troopers idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakkra Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Weaken Resolve would work for electro priests, just say it's something like the Rite of Fear from Dark Heresy (techpriests set up an infrasonic dirge with their built-in vox units). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
