Subject: Mecha Madness! Which Faction does it best?

Longtime Dakkanaut

Morven Vahl + 9x Paragons (The Holy Walkers)
+
Karamazov + 6 Penitent Engines + 6 Mortifiers (The Penitent Walkers)
I don't know if it's "the best" but it would certainly be the one I'm most likely to play. I have Karamazov, 3 x Painted Classic Metal PE's, the plastic launch box PE and three boxes of two dual build PE/ Mortifiers plus Morvenn and 3 Paragons... So I'm part way there.

As a side note, you can run all mecha Space Wolves if you run Bjorn as your Warlord.
I just wish there were some close combat, beam saber weilding Tau battlesuits.
All the ranged stuff is boring.
They have Farsight, and they used to have some experimental wargear. But no idea if that made it through the culls of streamlining editions.
CC is very against the theme of the army, but there is/was a little.

How about Morvenn Vahl, a bunch of Nundams and finishing out the list with Mortifiers and Penitent Engines?

You could take 3 each of the:
Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought
Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought
Telemon Heavy Dreadnought
Venerable Dreadnought
And of you wanted to be super silly you could add a Freeblade Armiger or 3.
Not at Forge World prices, thankyouverymuch.

If I could find good files that work well in FDM, I'd do it myself.
