Thallax cohort

I assembled my Thallax cohort! Yay! I always wanted these guys, but 10 years ago, they were in resin and expensive. I recall they were roughly US$80 for 3 in resin, and that was before inflation and all that. Yikes. Plus, resin. I hate dealing with resin. Now, they're much more affordable, with 6 guys for US$80, and that's after all the inflation. Phew. Plus I get a member discount at Gamers@Pi. So if you're in Singapore, I recommend you check that store out for Warhammer 40,000 and Horus Heresy. It's in the Orchard area (next to Sommerset MRT).

I went with phased plasma fusils because my forge world of Draconis III is known for its plasma technology, having been a refuge for Tech-priests from Ryza. I equipped the lightning gunners with chain bayonets because why the hell not, but I knew for sure I wanted plasma weapons. You guys should know by now that I'm a plasma guy. Just look at my Imperial Guard. Leman Russ Executioner tanks, Kasrkins with 2 plasma guns, Armored Sentinels with plasma cannons, a Stormblade as my super-heavy. Of course I'll go with plasma for my Mechanicum too - lots of plasma calivers on my Skitarii.

Would give the Thallax volkite too if they have the option, but they don't, for some reason. Mechanicum shock troops with no access to volkite weaponry? Really? I guess the Ursarax have volkite incinerators, but I'm not a fan of those. I prefer my Thallax, they're cooler without the melee weapons. Also, there's just something about these tough, hulking cyborgs that appeal to me as an alternative or as support to core Skitarii troops.

You will notice that I have assembled the multi-meltas and photon thrusters as well. I'm planning to make use of them, maybe the multi-meltas as "sponson" weapons for my Solar Auxilia Leman Russ Executioner tanks (I'll just say they're servitor controlled or something). Oh, they're Mars Alpha pattern in the 41st millennium. As for the photon thruster, I might kitbash my Archmagos Prime with a photon thruster in addition to his conversion beamer, to make him more in line with my Castellax battle-automata with Darkfire cannons. Or I might acquire a phased plasma fusil instead. We'll see!

For now, I'm pleased to add the Thallax to my collection, and burgeoning Mechanicum army!
