Mechanicum Taghmata and future of Horus Heresy

Rejoice, we have Imperial Militia coming! YAY!

I'm just lookng at Imperial Militia because I have a bunch of guys wielding volkite weapons from Armory of Old Night as my Knights' Household Militia, but there are more information here. Take your time, but long story short, new miniatures are on the way, Talons of the Emperor are getting more stuff and their own Liber in time, and Journal Tactica series will be a steady release.

We also get a peek at Mechanicum rules, and unlike the Legiones Astartes Crusade detachments, it seems we get our own unique Mechanicum detachments. So our Primary Detachment will be entirely composed of Archmagos, Magi and Tech-priest Units, which will unlock their own Auxiliary or Apex detachments belonging to their High Tech Arcana.

So I can still build a Legio Cybernetica force by choosing the Cybernetica High Tech Arcana, which will unlock Auxiliary and Apex detachments for automata. Yay.

There are a few hints, like a Macrotek Archmagos getting the Iron Phalanx Apex detachment for three Armor units (Krios tanks or Krios Venators) and three Heavy Transports (the Triaros Armored Conveyor).

Mechanicum units are also cheaper now. Yay?

I don't know how my Mechanicum army will look with the new rules, but I guess we'll find out!

Death Riders assembled

It took me a very long while, but I finally assembled my Death Riders and Marshal Dreir!

Sorry for the lack of updates. It has been a terrible June for me, to say the least. I was severely sick for 2 weeks (infection, fever, etc., had to take antibiotics), I lost my relief teaching job, there was a relative's funeral to attend, and I had been frantically searching for a new job. Suffice to say, no income means no hobby, which is why I haven't been updating for a while. Dreir and my Death Riders were actually purchased back in May, but I was obviously in no mood to assemble them because I was immersed in job-hunting. I'm sure those of you who have been unemployed before will know the feeling.

It's not...good.

Anyway, I got another teaching job for now, just waiting for assignments at the moment. We'll see. I can finally take a breather and start saving for the Saturnine Horus Heresy boxset and whatever Horus Heresy stuff I want to buy, such as Sekhmet Terminators or something. Or Mechanicum stuff. We'll see. For now, though, Krieg. I still need to get that Krieg heavy weapons squad, but again, I'll wait until I receive my salary first. Until then...I probably won't be doing much hobby stuff. Sigh.

Oh, and Horus Heresy 3.0 seems to be slated for a July 26th release date. I can't afford the Saturnine boxset, so I'll wait until December or next year, I guess. Sigh. We'll see.

Anyway, at least I'll have my Krieg Death Riders to play with for now. Dreir leading them on a charge to deal Devastating Wounds! Might even get a second box because I want to assemble more Death Riders with power swords and lasguns. We'll see. Again, it depends on how much income I actually get.

Till then...
