Battybattybats Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) So amidst the 8th releases there's a set of mechanicus/imperial objectives. Including a creepy medicae servitor, escape pod, xeno-biology sample container (with genestealer head much like the 2nd ed ers techpriest artwork by Jes Goodwin!) and more! I'd link the image but I'm using my phone.Edit: Back home with the laptop so here's the image for any who haven't seen it yet.

Battybattybats Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Ah but I'm in Australia so need the $AuD number, which is often hard to predict from the UK or USA prices.

Battybattybats Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 For reference here's the 2nd ed era techpriests with genestealer head artwork by Jes Goodwin.

Magos Takatus Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 That's probably the piece of artwork that brought me into the fold in the first place. GW should do more artwork like that. I don't just mean black and white, I'm sure a colour piece would work. That picture has loads of details for your eye to wander over. I think more codex art should be like this. The digital speedpainting ones are still inspiring, but there's not a whiff of a battlefield here but it tells a story regardless. I like the medical servitor in particular. It reminds me of the armoury servitor from The Lord Inquisitor's Grey Knight trailer.

Battybattybats Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Seen at natfka, one of the sprues.Note the genestealer part is seperate... so the containment tank will i am sure be a very popular source for mechanicus conversions.

Magos Takatus Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 hat's the first time I've seen Games Workshop use two type of plastics on the same frame. I've heard that's fairly normal for Gundam kits but for GW it's new to me.

Note the genestealer part is seperate... so the containment tank will i am sure be a very popular source for mechanicus conversions. Also be good for Genestealer Cult conversions/objectives. I'm absolutely in love with that piece alone, though the entire kit is pretty rad :D Battybattybats 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333857-awesome-new-objectives/#findComment-4767603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Got my (first) box of objectives today. Even better than I expected. The specimen tank has a great control panel at the back. Lots of crisp deep detail and subtle chipped and weathered edges and dents on some pieces.

Vel'Cona Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Got my objectives the other day, too. Not sure when I'll get to them but upon closer inspection I love the Alien Containment even more. I can imagine making a battery of them and putting the odd alien bits in each (perhaps a Kroot?).

Battybattybats Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 I agree Vel'Cona, quite a few of these objectives will work well as multiples. From the exterminatus bombs to the surgical servitors to the containment tanks to the cogitators. It'd make a lot of sense that a mission might call for defusing several bombs or capture several containment samples or recover a group of escape pods.I think these will also be superb for making zone mortalis rooms make a lot more sense and adding more narrative to each room or cityfight ruin. Hmm i recall a cityfight game some years back where my wrecker carnifex destroyed a guard field hospital building, the servitor would have been perfect for representing that hospital strategem.I notice the white dwarf says the escape pod is the right size for a titan princeps, but i don't know if they meant literally the miniature fits in the seat or not, that'd be an intertesting one to know particularly if at some point they become available seperately rather than having to buy a titan head for a sitting princeps.

CommodusXIII Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I have a sitting Knight pilot somewhere - I'll have to dig it out and see if it fits.

P.s. That's adorable! In my teens I looked after an orphaned micro-bat till it was able to fly free and for years after the local micro-bats would frequent near the house. It was really cute, like a puppy crossed with a kitten, very affectionate. :) MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333857-awesome-new-objectives/#findComment-4792332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Well here's an attempt to show some assembled and unpainted objectives next to a Skitarius for scale without recourse to Omnissiah-damned heretekal excommunicate photobucket.Looks like the B&C gallery leaves the pics very large so i'll put them in spoiler tags.

Corsovitt Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Is it just me or is that an Imperial Snack Dispenser? Has the Snack Dispenser been rewired by a haywire servitor and is now linked to the doomsday device? Actually on topic I love these objectives, they'll be great for Shadow War and Narrative 40k games. Anybody else wondering whether or not we can insert a princeps inside the Stasis chamber?

Battybattybats Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Batty that's a great looking skitarii! Thanks, it's part of my Shadow War Armageddon team i had images in my signature thread that photobucket just started hiding my pics of. Is it just me or is that an Imperial Snack Dispenser? Has the Snack Dispenser been rewired by a haywire servitor and is now linked to the doomsday device? Actually on topic I love these objectives, they'll be great for Shadow War and Narrative 40k games. Anybody else wondering whether or not we can insert a princeps inside the Stasis chamber? It's a smidge large for a Knight, i think you'd need to cut down the sides of the back piece a little to fit it in (i'm going to instead use the Forgeworld clear tank pieces back to back https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/Zone-Mortalis-Containment-Tanks), i don't have a full size titan or cerastus knight to check those. For those looking for inspiration for making such a princeps part 5 of the Helsreach animation includes one.
