Warhammer 40k Codex Adeptus Mechanicus

Product Information

Ad Mech are an interesting range with a lot of disparate elements, so you can have some real fun trying out different things with them and then trying to tie all that back together into a cohesive scheme. Like any good conclave of fanatical worshippers, the Adeptus Mechanicus cannot agree on how best to worship the Machine God of Mars, and their many sects each have their particular way of veneration through the act of war. As well as new sculpts of the Chaos Space Marine PossessedandChaos Cultists, there were threebrand new, gruesomely mutated kits: the ‘Accursed Cultist Mutants’ and ‘Accursed Cultist Torments’. I forgot another intermediate step photo for the lenses, but the idea is mostly clear in that I continued to do finer layers of Tau Light Ochre and Ushabti for the glowing bits. On small things I do maybe one additional coat of Agrax further down the panels, but on something big like this don’t be afraid to do as many as needed to get a semi smooth transition.

On the bases after waiting for the paste to dry, I painted the whole thing with Baneblade Brown before slopping on Darkoath Flesh followed by a quick drybrush of Rakarth. Also paint the very edges of the cloak with Ushabti, but take extreme care to not accidentally paint over the red cloak, as it’s a pain to correct. When not pressing buttons at Wargamer HQ, you can often find him impatiently painting miniatures; half-finishing strategy board games against himself; or drinking lager in the bath with a Horus Heresy audiobook playing.

Continuing from the last group of pictures, I finished off the glazing of the coat with Russ be careful that you only go far enough to get a extreme highlight as it is easy to overwhelm the existing blue. If a single selection is made, a Tech-Priest Engineer must accompany the selected unit if not already part of the unit. While this immersive deep-dive into the way of the Cult Mechanicus may have been out on a number of platforms for a while, the game’s creators, Bulwark Studios, have been hard at work bringing it to Google Tablets and Apple iPads too.

Secretive to a standard that’s off-putting even to other devotees of the Machine Cult, the Tech-Priests of Stygies VIII keep their deeds and motivations close to their metallic chests. While it is unclear if this unit would be able to complete actions like Deploy Scramblers, or score points from Engage on All Fronts (rules lawyers assemble!A decision driven more by marketing and what would be manageable to release in the then-weekly White Dwarf (yes, really), but it did the job of getting Ad Mech back into the game.

So in this army you can see that I have a couple of main colours in the blue and dirty ivory, but I don’t necessarily have each colour represented evenly across each model.

As befits the Omnissiah’s servants, the Adeptus Mechanicus roster has been tweaked and added to several times since its first arrival, and now you can find every unit in one convenient place, from the venerable Skitarii Rangers to the ingenious Archaeopter Stratoraptor. The Manipulus also has a slightly different take on the non-silver bits, with my new favourite combination of Brass Scorpion and Sycorax Bronze; his magna-rail lance has a similar effect, but then with Nihilakh Oxide washed into the recesses, which works for either copper oxidation or, in this case, a more restrained glow. It also included some of the most interesting thematic rule-building GW has yet tried with its new Crusade campaign system, in the form of custom-concocted plagues for your Death Guard warband, each affecting nearby enemies in slightly different, yet equally revolting ways and developing in potency over successive games. The new Skitarii Hunter Cohort is an ideal pairing with the Skatros, sharing all the sensor-baffling tools you need to sneak your entire army around the battlefield. Their sheer inhumanity also grants them a modicum of protection against the forces of the warp – a good thing, as the Adeptus Mechanicus doesn’t regularly employ psykers of their own.

Since its not super obvious the Ushabti and Daemonette are for the seals, while Rakarth is for flesh. Arc weapons fire coruscating, well, arcs of electricity across the battlefield, frying opponents alive and messing with the systems of vehicles as holy energy courses through them. Choose the Benediction of the Omnissiah in the late game to ensure those make-or-break rounds of shooting go off without a hitch. The Sydonian Skatros is a sinister sight – stalking into position on its stilt-like legs before standing deathly still, a living cyborg watchtower that scans the battlefield for targets.

The black parts may look tricky to paint, after all, how are you going to get multiple smooth layers of black paint all over these legs that are wrapped in cloaks at odd angles? They affect units with the Doctrina Imperatives ability, which includes Skitarii units like Rangers, Ruststalkers, Sydonian Dragoons, and the like.
