A rare and truly arcane weapon system of staggering power, the Mechanicum Ordinatus Ulator is of the smaller classes of Ordinatus, but nevertheless is one of the most potent war machines at the Imperium’s disposal.

 
In the time of the Great Crusade the Ordinatus macro engines were rarer than even the Battle Titans of the Legio Titanica, and only a handful of Forge Worlds had the resources or indeed the doctrinal blessing and religious authority to produce or maintain such embodiments of the Omnissiah’s divine wrath. Such was the sacredness of these machines above all others, that an entire subcult of the Mechanicum was devoted to their worship and propitiation.
 
The Ordinatus Ulator carries a trio of Volkite Culverins as its secondary armaments, but its primary weapon is the Ulator class Sonic Destructor. A terrifying weapon whose origins lie in the shadows of the Age of Strife, the Sonic Destructor generates a wave of annihilation that wreaks havoc across the battlefield.
 
The Mechanicum Ordinatus Ulator is a Lords of War choice for Mechanicum armies in Horus Heresy games. It can also be taken as a Lords of War Choice by Adeptus Mechanicum: Cult Mechanicus and Skitarii armies in games of Warhammer 40,000 using the rules found in The Horus Heresy: Mechanicum – Taghmata Army List.
 
The Mechanicum Ordinatus Ulator is a complete, multi-part resin kit.

 

I dunno, size-wise I think it fits within the reasonable realms for cost and practicality.

 

As cool as giant models are, they get a little irritating to cart around.

 

Anyone else surprised by how not crazy-expensive it is? I was expecting like £400+

Yeah it struck me as "cheap" too, but it doesn't actually look like too much resin I suppose...

I wonder if they will release a Belicosa pattern volcano cannon version, or an upgrade to swap out the Ulatar-class sonic destructor, or just rely on people buying the Warlord weapon and converting? I expect they'll do more options in general, as one of the Epic ones had missile launchers.

 

I also just noticed in Extermination that during the invasion of Paramar, the Taghmata Satarael was marching under a force field projected from a hovering Ordinatus-class engine. Something like a Stormbird projected void shield bubble or a 12" flare shield bubble would be awesome!

They've previewed at least the CAD of the Ordinatus Sagittar, so it'll be a complete release at some point.

 

That shield Ordinatus idea though.. oh man. It'd probably project the Dispersion Field that the other Ordinatus have but over a radius, possibly with the power still decreasing per turn but less so? It's a cool idea anyway. There's definitely room for more Ordinatus in the future.
