With the Liber Strategia on its way to revolutionise the way you play Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis, the battling in the Warhammer Studio has been thick of late.
We’ve rounded up four fantastic Mechanicum forces that have caught our eye.
James: My force is painted in the bronze livery of the Taghmata Scoria, the personal forces under the command of Archmagos Scoria of Xana – a legendarily fearsome Heretek. These supplement a large force of Dark Mechanicum stalker constructs. I plan to add more Myrmidons and some Thanatar Siege-utomata to the force and maybe even kitbash an epic-scale rendition of Scoria himself to represent another Archmagos on Abeyant.
Connor: I painted my Mechanicum up as traitor Taghmata hailing from Forge World Mezoa. I chose this paint scheme because I liked the pairing of the primary orange and black secondary colours at a small scale. Then I based them in an ash-covered ruins paint scheme. This force is intended to be used as allies to pair with my Word Bearers Legion.
Andy: This Brethren of Iron Support Formation is designed to go along with my larger Ultramarines army. It was very simple to paint – I sprayed the models Leadbelcher, gave them a Nuln Oil wash and a Necron Compound drybrush, then painted the areas that would feature XIIIth Legion heraldry with Asurmen Blue Contrast.
Ant: My Word Bearers are from the Graven Star Chapter and their allies are Dark Mechanicum from the Forge World of Kalibrax. The force is based around the Cataclysm of Iron, utilising a mechanised Demi-company borne in Land Raiders that lead the attack, supported by the firepower of the Kalibrax Stalker Constructs.
For their accompanying Warhound titan, I wanted to give it a slightly more retro look. It is the usual Warhound kit, but with the weapons mounted sideways and some spikes made of plasticard added to the top of the carapace.
Thanks guys! The Liber Strategia will be on pre-order this weekend, alongside numerous armoured reinforcements for the Legiones Astartes.
