depthcharge12 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I would take two of those, at the current 175 points a pop, if given those rules! Agreed. I think that the Castellax spam has finally died with a good update, but other stompy robots need to be reupdated.

Terminus Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Did anyone realize we just won this release? Even if Domitar doesn't change at all, the Atarax is the amazing jump creature we wanted. Then Drones to give some much needed anti-air, Iron Circle automata, and Dark Mechanicum. Ave Omnissiah!

Although since the model's finished we'll probably see it in a PDF on release within 3 months or so. Anybody get the info on the new dark mechanicum magos?

Liquid_O Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Oh thanks dude, you didn't have to go through that trouble! Daang is he beastly though. He might be one of the best characters in the game. A cybernetica army with vorax and the new arlatax would be amazing.

Terminus Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Okay, between Dreykovac and this guy, I am firmly in the Technoheretic camp. Way to drive a man to evil, Forge World! Seriously, I thought Dreykovac's melt-your-face attack was scary, this guy instantly deals D3 AP2 wounds on every hit that can't be FNP or IWND?! And you get to buy an even more uber Arlatax for regular cost? So amazing. I have been wondering what to do with the Domitar model. Now I'm going to make the Homonculex with it, put some giant-ass jet thrusters on it, a wicked flail, oh yeah!

Hesh Kadesh Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 2+/3++, 4 Wounds, Eternal Warrior, 5+ FNP. What a way to start off. Can't wait to see the rest :D. I really just wanted to do a bug style army with some form of 'tyranid style' and those Protoblight drones are awesome.

Terminus Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Click the imgur link for the rest of the juicy goodness. Now I have a dedicated Cybernetica HQ and a dedicated Knights HQ, both traitor. My current Forgeworld fluff has them as belonging to the Organicist philosophy, and turning out an unprecedented number of cyborg monsters like Lorica Thallax and at least approximations of Silica Animus automata. Looks like this FW Xana is basically that. I hope their iconography is cool.

depthcharge12 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm 100% going to do an allied Xana force with my House Malinax Knights for SCORPION BROS: http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac316/treacyjohn2/F2EDE150-10B1-493E-9261-5B5CC2F34F82.png_zpsglpabcnj.jpeg So this'll be my list, but I still need to figure out troops - maybe thallax: Anarchis Scoria 3 Arlatax + 1 w/scourge, 1 Haemonculex, 1 regular 2 Battle automata 1 Domitar LoW Atrapos or Acheron Brass Scorpion????!

I like the guns and the blades look fairly fun. 4 str 9 ap2 attacks? That looks like it could cause some damage. Also they are fast and have quite a few guns.

Fallen11 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I just hate to see something that has so nice model have so bad rules...he simply ain't worth his points. I am tempted to use it count as castellax and convert his weapons.

Terminus Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I feel he will be the base of a lot of conversions. Satael, Paragon Castellax, Homonculex. You have options.

Hesh Kadesh Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) So, Scoria. 315pts, so rather expensive. BUT there is literally no reason to ever NOT run him. Make him Warlord. All your Cybernetica Cortex units can Sweep and Run, at the "penalty" of not being able to properly control them (must move and assault nearest non flyers). Considering that the ones you want shooting should always be in range of a Cortex anyway, it's quite good. Just take some Techpriest Auxilia for boosts. No you don't really have much other use for your elites, and if you do? Well, pick up a Magos-Prime Macrotek and get Techpriests as troops. Whoop! It's a nice buff to take advantage, especially with the new Jump Automata to be available. Speaking of which. How do you fancy getting a lone one with a free Paragon of Metal and Rage upgrade (about 45-50pts free worth there)? You still have to buy the Arlatax, of course, and have it take up the slot. But yeah. 50pts free, on a Sweep capable Raging IWND Jump Monstrous Creature? Discounted? Go on then. Penalty? Instant killed if Scoria is gibbed. But that's not going to happen. For the cost above, you get a T6 (he has a Macrotek array which bonus is not accounted for), W5, 2+/3++, Eternal Warrior with IWND and a 5++. So, Eternal Warrior means that FNP can always trigger, so every wound (which cannot instagib you) is reduced by a 1/3rd. On the bright side, he can't do any damage. I mean, he's mechanicum, so only has a pair of MC'd S6 AP3 Shooting attacks at 12" which are a bit naff, or a Flamer and Inferno Pistol options (can switch between the two. Oh, and a relentless Heavy 2 48" 2 Shot S6 AP2 Blinding weapon, because reasons. Oh, and Night Vision. Maybe Precision Shots as well to match every other Mechanicum model. But at least he sucks in CC. Because it's not like he has 5 WS5 I5 attacks which deal D3 automatic AP2 wounds ignoring FNP and disallow IWND, and 2 additional S6 AP2 Unwieldy Shred Attacks at all is it? Ah well. He probably sucks at Cybertheurgy. Wait, what do you mean he gets a unique power (-2) that allows him to grant all models in the unit (as opposed to just a single model in the unit) +1 Initiative, Move and Charge distance, and they get to reroll hits during the assault. At the "penalty" of a 1 in 6 chance of each model affected suffering a no-saves wound. But FNP still works against it though. Whelp, at least he can't benefit from that, right? You already know this answer don't you? You already know he has Patris Cybernetica, and can target his own unit without the power requiring that it only affects Cybernetica Cortex models. Intentional or not, but now he's got Reroll failed to hit with 5 WS5 I6 attacks dealing Dealing D3 automatic wounds (which are allocated as normal) ignoring FNP and IWND followed by 2 S6 AP2 Shred attacks. What about his inability to be taken in Legio Cybernetica lists, that's a thing right? You know as well as I do that that's a naive thing, so yes, he can join a list, that gets +D3 VP's for basically not being killed. He also blocks access to Other Archmagos here, right? Right?... ... ... That 24" Cybernetica Cortex buff? Remember you get penalized for being out of range? This is a good thing. 48" Cybernetica Cortexes for 80pts? And, non sarcastically, at least he can't deep strike. Edit; and now I've finished typing, just remembered the D-99 Valks (or even just normal Valks) are a thing. Crying out loud XD. Take a detachment of 3, and now you've got some "podded" in Secutors, and now you can Deep Strike some Arlatax after...
