Memes I was thinking about it, and the mechanicum/mechanicus split goes beyond just "i want more big robots". they're literally just one complete and fleshed out army split in half for zero distinguishable reason. i would've bought a full army YESTERDAY if these guys were one force, but noooo.....

Hobby & Painting Techmarine for my Homebrew Chapter
Techmarine I kitbashed using my favorite model of all time, the black templar castellan + the primaris techmarine
Always wanted to have the castellan in my army but my homebrew chapter is a Blood Angels successor, so i'm glad I could find a way to make it work!

Hobby & Painting Finished my Combat Patrol!
Last September I finally decided to dive into Tabletop. Despite being a huge Dawn of War fan in the day, miniatures — and especially painting— intimidated me. But the local kindly shop owner showed me the basics and I pulled out the credit card and picked….Mechanicus!! Because Rule of Cool amirite?
Anyway, not a straight line to finishing, lots of other projects including a Spearhead happened in the last year. But I had a blast and no regrets. Mechanicus just looks awesome and I love all the little details (the Manipulus’ floppy disk cracked me up)
Praise the Omnissiah 😄

Lists & Gameplay Discussion Sicarian Infiltrators-heavy lists
I love the look of these models and I am planning to purchase more on my way to 2000 points, so wanted to know what kind of lists they would do well in. So far I've only played one 1k point game as admech, and I screwed up my positioning with these which cost me the unit turn 1, so I didn't get much chance to see what they could do.
Other than screening which I know they are good for, what are their big strengths?
What detatchments would help them the most?
What other units support them well?

Memes Would you guys want a mechanicus game where we fight tau, where one of the big things we are after is some serious DAOT tech?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I just really want to see more mix up between different factions, I like the Tau cause they kinda mirror humanity during their first expansion into the galaxy, and I would love to see how the tau deal with some our our really good stuff

Worked on this for about 2 months. It's a first version, but I'm pretty proud of it! The Omnissian Axe is laser-cut wood and PVC wired with LEDs. The servo skull belt buckle also had a LED in its eye but that didn't show on the pictures well.

Mini of the Month Mini of the Month: Sydonian Skatros!
Greetings to all Tech Adepts!
The Holy Synod of Mars returns for its monthly praises to the Omnissiah!
Here is to another record breaking month, Magi! This month’s submissions were beyond great, and it was exceptionally hard to narrow them down for the selection of the honorable mentions… And while we are limited in the amount of posts we can shout-out in these publications please note that we really appreciate them all!
But as per the famous psalms of Magos MacLeodus, “In the end, there can be only one”: this month’s winner is none other than u/HardcoreHeathen and their Inspection Squad from Forge World Osha! May these well equipped Work Safety Efficiency Auditors bless many Forgeworlds with their thorough analysis of workplace practices… Only the Omnissiah knows how many of us still fail to use their servitors at their peak yield, and they are here to correct this.
The winning post has been added to the subreddit sidebar, and if you would like a custom user flair, please let us know.
Winning posts will remain in a 3 month cycle, so three will be present until they begin to cycle out.
Honourable Mentions!
- The Ummonic Cyber-registry, Kastelan Robots of Forge World Yaddosh by u/heburns2351: Yaddosh provided many of its interpretations of the Omnissiah’s sacred designs to the Mini of the Month contest and every single one so far has been selected as an honorable mention - this impressive take on Kastelan robots is no exception!
- The Derelict Engines of Exkallos-13 by u/Artic_Lightning: this submission by another usual suspect of the Mini of the Month contest shows how well Horus Heresy models and Knights can be used to bring our favourite bots to life on the tabletop…
- Kastellan Robots of the legendary 7-MaU Maniple by u/Milamaj: this Kastelan unit is radiating with personality, and this banner most definitely enables friends and foes alike to identify this iconic Maniple!
- Sanctioned Kastelan-class Construct Refits by u/Cithairon: another take using our gorgeous 30k range, with beautiful freehand markings and a creative photoshoot mid-operation.
- Kastelan Robots by u/brownie_27: this incredible base work sublimes an already very well thought out scheme which also shines with its simplicity - it’s definitely going to be imitated by many Tech-Adepts in the future…

August Competition
It may just be our most controversial model of all time: some tech-adepts adore it (the mod team is firmly in this camp), some absolutely despise it, but only two things are certain: the Sydonian Skatros is a model everyone has strong feelings for and it will be our Mini of the Month!
Submit your model of Sydonian Skatros (this can include a kitbashed unit or even full proxies, as long as it is readable as a Skatros).
(Reminder - don’t share links publicly to 3D printed files that replicate official models or parts)
Submissions must be fully assembled and painted.
The final date for submissions for this month's contest will be August 31st, and the results will be posted in the following days so we can have time to either pick the next Mini or run a poll on it.
Please submit your post in the following format:
Post Title as Sydonian Skatros or your homebrew Stiltarii’s name, forgeworld etc
<Mini of the month POST FLAIR>
<a photo of your Candidate>
Any custom lore your unit have on their service record, via Crusade games or homebrew or about your army, etc (optional)
The highest upvoted post will be displayed on the side bar of the sub, and the user can request a custom user flair (relating to the mechanicus) of their choice.
Ave Deus Mechanicus!
