Tech Priest Auxilia

So my friends and I have started making arrangments for another apocalypse battle, this one planned to be slightly more epic in scale as we are going to get as close to every model in our collections - due to this I now have a massive 'to paint' list which needs to be done in short order. With that in mind I have been painting some more mechanicum as well as assembling the plastics from my battle at calth boxed set (I have to admit these plastics are awesome and amazing value for money)
Here is the first results of this painting drive.







So that's a tech priest auxilia with 1 adept, 1 magos (third servo arm), 8 servo automata of which five are armed with multi-meltas and they are typically reductor to give them all tank hunters just to make those multi-meltas as efficient as possible.

I am also working on the magos dominus model who is going to act as the archmagos dominus within my legio cybernetica aspect of the mechanicum as well as four myrmidon destructors generally because they are about the best things in the mechanicum army. I have a bombard under way as well but that is a fair way off completion.

I have started assembly of the next set of models to be worked on, this is going to be 12 thallax and 3 vorax as well as continuing to work on the bombard and starting to paint the titan tech priest I recently picked up who will act as a magos prime in the army.

In terms of the plastics, these are going to form the core of my iron warriors army I am planning, they are the perfect allies for the mechanicum as well as being on the same side as the night lords bringing everything in to a coherent whole all with the sole purpose of bringing death to the false emperor.
I am planning on getting a couple more of the battle at calth sets, the economy of the models is really good, in fact I think it is overall better value than normal plastcs, especially when purchased from a local games store which is offering discounts for various reasons such as the one I use.





Tyrant siege terminators in all of their glory, the missile packs from anvil industries are perfect in my opinion for turning the terminators from the boxed set in to these bad arses and luckily the weapon options from the boxed set include more than enough power fists and chainfists to make the correct weapon selection for the unit. The characters are really nice models and I can see a unit of 19 tactical marines led by a chaplain as being quite a brutal force on the battlefield, I had not really appreciated the power of zealot until I was considering what to do with the chaplain model from this set and really read the rules properly.

There will be more posts incoming, I am for the moment getting painting in every day and thus making progress, I am not currently sure the rate of progress is fast enough to get everything I want ready for the apocalypse battle but I am hoping that the promise of this evennt will be enough to keep the focus in place so when I attend it is going to be with something close to 15,000 points of models including a reaver titan and a couple of primarchs.
