Now he gets to lead either 2 squads of 10 Secutarii Hoplites or a combined squad of 20. Hell, yeah! My Secutarii Hoplites now have a Leader! Or an Independent Character to Lead them! So basically they get Stubborn and Binaric Stratagems. The latter means they have a choice of 5+++ Feel No Pain, Move Through Cover, Wrecker or Preferred Enemy (Infantry). Give them rad grenades and they can Instant Death, uh, Solar Auxilia, Imperial Militia and Cultists. But I'll want them to be hammering vehicles with their Disruption arc lances anyway, so never mind. They're not going to win a fight against Astartes Legionnaires, sadly.
There's also a Triaros Armored Conveyor on the way to transport the 21-man blob to wherever they need to go. Sneak up on a Spartan, maybe, charge it, and then poke it to death. Heh. Anyway, we'll find out.
Oh, and one more thing. I watched the live stream of the Warhammer 40,000 Adepticon today! I wanted to write an article earlier, but I was on duty (I'm currently working as a relief teacher), so I didn't have time to write anything once my break was over. By the God-Emperor's grace, the stream coincided with my break, so I was able to watch it live, and I was rewarded.
However, I love robots, and I love the weapons. They have the Thousand Sons aesthetic, that's a plus, and the Hellfyre missile rack plus what seems like heavy warpflamer or twin soulreaper cannons and a melta cannon are awesome. Our Heavy Support option! Yay!
Can't wait to get my hands on the new Thousand Sons codex!
The important thing is that we now have rules for robots. So if you don't like the look of the Sekhatar Robots, my proposal is to kitbash! I've an idea of combining the Sekhatar Robots with the new plastic Castellax battle-automata, though I'll just build a couple normally before I experiment with kitbashing. You know, for fun. I'm not sure how it'll turn out, though. But we'll see. I might not even bother kitbashing because I don't have the money to buy multiple kits, and I'm also collecting Horus Heresy and Legions Imperialis at the same time. And...Imperial Guard. Eventually. I want several Krieg models.
There's also these guys! Technoarcheologist is, well...something, we already have, so not very impressed with that one. But the Servitor Underseer, he looks really cool. Not gonna lie, I want one. He looks amazing.
Servitors, though, uh...I'm not a fan of Servitors. I'm more of a Skitarii and Cybernetica guy, and the Cult Mechanicus side doesn't appeal to me. That's why you don't see Kataphron battle-servitors or Electro-priests in my army. But the Servitors look cool, and I'm sure there will be many who like them. My Cult Mechanicus colleagues, in particular.
I mean, a Servitor with a heavy arc rifle!!! How cool is that?!
Won't lie, the Breacher Servitor also looks amazing. I swear to the Omnissiah, the guy is carrying a mini las-impulsor. You know the laser cutter on a Knight Preceptor? I'm sure that's the miniature, man portable version. Time to...breach!!!
By the way, I'm pretty sure you can kitbash these guys with Adsecularis Tech-thralls if you don't like the shambling zombie aesthetic and want something...fleshier. Lots of potential!
Anyway, I'll focus on my Secutarii and Skitarii and Cybernetica for my Mechanicus/Mechanicum armies for now. Waiting for my Triaros and a couple more Castellax, and then...I'll wait for the Domitar and Arlatax to be released in plastic. In the meantime, I'll collect the Thousand Sons stuff, and if I still have money for my hobby afterward, then it's KRIEG!
Oh, one last thing.
I'm so getting this book. Maybe it'll coincide with my collection of Krieg. We'll see. Till then!
