Mechanicum 1: "Boot them up, Magos. We have located the beacon".

Welcome to the first proper post of my new Mechanicum army (even though the Castellax were, technically, supposed to be for my Iron Hands.....Funny how things can turn out). Feeling inspired again after the post-ETL hobby burnout I can only say.. There will be both minis and some background story!


But.. First thing first, the two Castellax (Castellaxes? Castellaxii?) that I have finished. Colour scheme concepts and basing concepts.


With Multi-Melta and Flamers. Some Magnets Included.

Above is the first one, which might also get used as the "solo"-paragon of metal version of a Castellax.




Better view of the base. Using a slightly less-than-optimal water effect made the base take a tad longer than it should have had to complete.


No magnets included. D'oh
"Go ahead. Touch the wheel. I dare you"

The second one. No magnets, no special fancy rules. Even longer time spent on the base. Ah well!

Both of them have quite a mix of transfers applied. For once I am quite happy with how they turned out. 

Next up: Thallaxii. And tanks. Loads of tanks. Despite starting with Cybernetic walkers... I am going down the path of the Reductor!
