Mechanicum

Well here is the beginning of my Mechanicum, which I have named the Obsidian Order (After the Obsidian Knight, of which the scheme is based).  Its still WIP, I have touching up to do, and additions to make (Eg things I still havent managed to paint or buy in the last few months), but I cant help but love the look so far.

Had a fun/friendly game with them to try them out at the weekend, and they obliterated everything, I would go as far as saying "unfair" but as it was just a friendly game, there was no FOC as such, and it was against Nathan's Imperial Guard, who in the end game drink and summary just muttered "I hate Thallax" repeatedly.  It was a joy to listen to :)

He hated them, I loved them, the Thallax were such fun to play, brutally cut through anything in range, the cover save modifier they have is awesome.  I played them clean, but I am already planning to increase their size, and will be adding heavy weapons to them to make them a bit more  flexible (The Lightning Gun is ok, but its neither great at destroying heavy tanks, or great at taking out large IG blobs!)

I have 2 more Castellax suits to add, which im building/paining soon, as well as an HQ which is mostly finished, here is a WIP shot of him....

Love the model, such a shame his rules are average/poor, and whats this, he isnt an idependent character!? Oh well... oops I played him as one.  I now know for next game! I must get a better HQ for them though, this guy, who I have nick named the Vacuum Cleaner, will just be something for Nathan to shoot at (Then he can rejoice he has taken out an HQ unit).

Well that's all for now folks... I need to finish painting the other 4 Knights....
