![]() Most of our units have high toughness (7 for most of the Battle-automata and 8 for the Siege-automata) and multiple wounds, but of course the downside is that they are so expensive in terms of points you can only take a few of them, making this a small, elite army of tough Monstrous Creatures with incredible firepower. The Tech-thralls might have 1 wound and T3 but they have Feel No Pain and can be upgraded with carapace armor. Even our basic Troops, the Thallax, have a toughness of 5 and 3 wounds. Gameplay wise, our models are pretty tough. While capable of standing alone (and much cooler if done so), they can also be used as allies for Space Marine Legions. For a wee bit more, you could just purchase 4 Castellax with a Magos Dominus to build a Legio Cybernetica army. Or Adescularis Convenants if you prefer blobs. It's possible to begin an army with a single Magos and two cohorts of 3 Thallax each. They are also one of the cheapest armies to get into. Of course, I'll have trouble finding anyone who will agree to playing against such a list. ![]() So I could basically throw in a 1,075-point Ordinatus-Minoris Macro Engine Ordinatus Ulator as my main Leviathan and Warlord, and fill up the remaining 925 points with an allied Legio Cybernetica detachment (a Magos Dominus, 2 Castellax Battle-automata as Troops, 3 Vorax Battle-automata for Fast Attack and 1 Thanatar Siege-automata in the Heavy support slot for approximately 920 points) and still call it legal. If you really want to field your Titans or Ordinatus without worrying about the 25% point restriction on your Lords of War, you can use the optional Leviathan Force Organization Chart, which allows up to 3 Lords of War and a small Allied Detachment. You can essentially build a Mechanicum army based on any style you want!Īdditionally, you have a wide range of Lords of War, including Mechanicum Indentured Knights - which as of this writing number up to over a dozen, including new Armiger Knight Moirax Talons and Acastus Knights (I won't be adding the Dominus Knights because, quite frankly, they suck), two massive Macro-Engines of the Centurio Ordinatus, as well as 3 Titans from the Titan Legions. Love tanks and artillery? The Ordo Reductor wants you, man! Want a little bit of both? Taghmata vanilla list is perfect for you! Blobs of zombie Tech-thralls shuffling toward objectives? Come, the Lacyraemara and Magos Lachrimallus want a word with you. Want a whole army of cool, giant robots? Field a Legio Cybernetica army. The specialized bonuses are often worth it, though, so don't be discouraged by the limitations. These subtypes function as Rites of War, and each has their limitations and bonuses. Starting out with a Taghmata as the base, the new Mechanicum: Taghmata Army List also offers you two subtypes for your Mechanicum army, the robotic Legio Cybernetica (my personal favorite) and the tank-heavy Ordo Reductor. The Mechanicum is filled with awesome robots and great looking models, and yet at the same time presents an extremely flexible force that you can tailor to your own needs and liking. Well, judging from our failed imitations of plasma weapons from the Forge World of Ryza, I can't say that's true. The Forge World of Draconis IV might be efficient, and we took the time to rip off 1d4chan to craft a "high-quality" product. My Battle-automata and Siege-automata have gone all Malifica on me, but somehow Ive managed to re-program them. This Page is finally complete! My Servitors.no, Servo-automata have returned from leave, and I finally succeeded negotiations with my Tech-Priests Auxillia. Fluff-wise.well, I spent years reading Ciaphas Cain and other Imperial Guard novels, as well as a good number of Horus Heresy novels, but tactics wise I'm a greenhorn. And if anyone wants to copy and paste my stuff over to 1d4chan, please feel free to do so, but as a word of warning, I'm an unreliable source and analyst, being new to the game. ![]() I'm just updating the stuff they have yet to update. Well, this serves as an updated version to the article on 1d4chan's Mechanicum: Taghmata (30k) tactics page so for better advice and more expert analysis, visit that page instead. Now that I've gotten the Horus Heresy Mechanicum: Taghmata Army List, I will be analyzing the rules and units to the best of my amateurish ability.
