Slips Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I made this for "Teh Lulz" but at the same time as more or less what I would field if I ever made an Mechanicum Army >_> Yes, 300+pts into a Single Archmagos is silly. But, thats the point Magos Dominus will sit with the normal Thanatars and Blast away; mostly to provide the 12" Cortex Bubble and possibly attempt Cyberthurgy on the unit. Potentially doubling the Number of Shots the unit can pump out will be pretty devastating. Its also why the Dominus has a Conversion Beamer. The Magos Prime's order may change from Myrmidax to Malagra but, Myrmidax will stick for now since he can shoot 6 Phased Plasma-Fusil Shots a turn. The PoM Domitar is mostly there just to have it but, he can still run around hunting stuff, especially any other MC's the list might encounter. with Rampage and IWND and T7 he should be pretty tough and, since hes a lone model, much less of an immediate threat and easier to move around Cynix will be the main target for any Cyberthurgy, mainly the double-shooting one 'cuz 8 Plasma Cannon shots is tasty especially when he can be buffed to BS6 with the Djinn-Skein. I wanted to make the Thallax Icarians for Skyfire but, that would make them Heavy Support choices :\ +++ 2500 Super Stompy Robots (2500pts) +++ ++ Mechanicum: Taghmata Omnissiah (Age of Darkness) (2495pts) ++ + HQ (460pts) + Magos Dominus (135pts) [Abeyant, Augury Scanner, Conversion Beamer, Cyber-familiar] Magos Prime (335pts) [Abeyant, Archmagos Prime, Augury Scanner, Chainfist, Cortica Primus, Cyber-familiar, Djinn-skein, Mastercraft a single weapon, Myrmidax, Paragon Blade, Phased Plasma-fusil, Phased Plasma-fusil, Rad Grenades] + Troops (500pts) + Castellax Class Battle-Automata Maniple (210pts) ··Castellax [Darkfire Cannon] ··Castellax [Darkfire Cannon] Thallax Cohort (145pts) [Phased-Plasma Fusil, 3x Thallax] Thallax Cohort (145pts) [Phased-Plasma Fusil, 3x Thallax] + Elites (215pts) + Domitar Class Battle-automata Maniple (215pts) [Domitar Class Battle-automata, Frag Grenades, Paragon of Metal] + Heavy Support (1310pts) + Thanatar Class Siege-automata Maniple (510pts) [Enhanced Targeting Array, 2x Thanatar] Thanatar Class Siege-automata Maniple (510pts) [Enhanced Targeting Array, 2x Thanatar] Thanatar-Cynis Class Siege-Automata Maniple (290pts) [Enhanced Targeting Array, Thanatar-Cynis Class Siege-Automata] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313160-2500-points-silly-archmagos-and-stompy-robot-friends/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaolin_Monkey Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Why only two Thanatar in the units, why not max them and take a unit of Cynis too? then it will really be a HORDE of big stompy robots!

Slips Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Why only two Thanatar in the units, why not max them and take a unit of Cynis too? then it will really be a HORDE of big stompy robots! Mostly so that they can shoot at different Targets. 4 S8 Ap2 Large Blasts that force successful Cover at -1 to be re-rolled is most likely going to be overkill :p Cynix are 35pts more expensive than a Normal Thanatar meaning that, even if I were to remove the Castellax and Domitar, I could only fit one more Cynix into the list. Two if I really pear down the Magos Prime. And even then, they just need to get stuck in CC and its game over. Besides, 5 T8 2+ MC's are hard enough to deal with as-is.

Slips Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'd just use a Titan Legion at that Point. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313160-2500-points-silly-archmagos-and-stompy-robot-friends/#findComment-4161587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
