NiftyVT Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Victory for the Dark Mechanicum today. 2k point game. Still a learning game and I am sure we got some things wrong but we did lots of rules reading and reviewing so it was a slow game but still tons of fun. Stomped some Iron hands. brother_b and Lord Blackwood 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356176-niftyvts-xana-ii-mechanicum/page/5/#findComment-5464624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyVT Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Decided to get some knight banners finished while I was working on my BA termis. 20200120_151605 by nifty, on Flickr MajorNese, Magos Takatus and Lord Blackwood 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356176-niftyvts-xana-ii-mechanicum/page/5/#findComment-5465076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Those banners are brilliant. Will be good to see them fitted. You've got some fantastic knights.

Got one mounted to the Acheron last night! Forgeworld decals are brilliant. . .a huge pain to apply but that's where micro sol (a lot of it!) comes in.

NiftyVT Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Work continues on the hoard of Tech Thralls. These guys are a painting slug fest. So many little details for a 4 point model that dies to a stiff breeze. . .but they are fearless. They are pretty much in every list I make and are usually the only thing thats not fully painted so I decided its time to get them over with. Main colors are blocked in. Next up is armor trim, tubes/wires/lenses, some bronze here and there and chest symbols (bronze for the black armor and classic black/white for the white armor ones). Then maybe a few transfers from the Titanicus Malinax sheet for some arm tattoos and face mask writing followed by an oil wash. Still a lot to do on them! 20200208_113110 by nifty, on Flickr librisrouge, MajorNese and Magos Takatus 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356176-niftyvts-xana-ii-mechanicum/page/5/#findComment-5474266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyVT Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Question for the gallery. What should I buy next? 2x Moriax with Lightning guns (will pick up alternate weapons from Taro Modelmaker). or 1x Lightning Fighter. Will order this Friday or earlier.

Magos Takatus Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) That's a tough question but since there's a few people on the board that collect the same Knight faction as yours perhaps air support could be a way to make your army stand out? I believe you'll make a good job of either project. Good luck whichever you choose.

For army comp I'd go with the Moriax, while the flyer is nice it's more for Militarium then Mechanicus.

MajorNese Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Moiraxes. I mean, the AdMech flyer is on the way anyway, and lightning Moiraxes are damn nice MEQ lawnmowers. And look definitely fitting for AdMech, as well as being easy to assemble.

It looks like garbage and is going to take a ton of work and $ to make acceptable.

More for 30k and its in my Mechanicum red book so its Mechanicum through and through. I could put one heck of a creepy pilot in it too lol. Or I think one (or a couple) of the Mechanicum cortex spheres would be cool too. Thanks for the votes. Looks like the Moirax might win out!

NiftyVT Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Ordered 2 Moirax just now. And had to throw in some Catiphractii Assault Cannons to make the free shipping threshold. I am sure my Blood Angel's will enjoy the Dakka. =) Edited February 28, 2020 by NiftyVT Focslain, Magos Takatus and Marshal Rohr 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356176-niftyvts-xana-ii-mechanicum/page/5/#findComment-5483604 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focslain Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Happy hobbying, will say the weirdiest part of the Moriax is that the pauldrons are attached to the shoulder piece instead of the carapace like the standard armigars.

NiftyVT Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Moirax, Scoria and the drill are getting primed today. Since he is a super special character lots of prep work and some extra attention to detail went into Scoria. Lots of green stuff went into the drill and I only needed a little bit for Scoria/Moirax for the odd air bubble here and there. Overall good casts all around. brother_b and Focslain 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356176-niftyvts-xana-ii-mechanicum/page/5/#findComment-5493180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
