Hi all,

I'm toying with the idea of making a Mechanicum contingent using the list from HH: Betrayal. I'll probably be using the FW Titan priest as the HQ and will be picking up a couple of squads of the Thallax cohorts as troops.

My question is: does anybody supply stuff that could be used to admech-up Land Raiders etc? I'm thinking about skull emblems, cogs, esoteric-looking machinery and the like.

I've looked through a few of the suggested 3rd party sites but not seen anything really suitable.

Thanks in advance!

They might be to big but there are some cool mechanical decorations on GW's manufactorum terrain piece. You could try to cut it to pieces and attach it to your land raider. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440312a&prodId=prod1095507

And maybe something from the skaven "vehicles".

Thanks btldoomhammer - I might have a little play with that later on. Cheers!

Sadly, there isn't much out there beyond the usual basic bionics(although there's a rather nice Kromlech bionic arm set that includes a drill arm that's perfect for a Reductor Myrmidon/Secutor "Breaching Drill" weapon). You can occasionally find some of the FW Mechanicus symbols on ebay(there's a couple of the 48mm big ones up at the moment actually), but they typically don't come cheap by the end of the auction. Honestly your best bet is to hunt down every GW item that has a Mechanicus icon on it somewhere and then make yourself a set of pressmoulds.

For bizarro machinery, you'll probably have to go outside GW unless you're going for a very Blanchesque aesthetic, since Skaven/Ork etc stuff tends to be a bit ramshackle; you could try the various "Wierd War 2" and steampunk lines, but there isn't really much "notAdMech" stuff about at the moment, which is a pain in the backside.

Hasslefree sells bundles of random broken clockwork for use as steampunk accessories. Might be able to get a nice selection of cogs in there

Thanks both - I'll investigate!

Crikey, those prices are mad, you get 60g bags of similar parts on ebay for about £7, and they want £9 for 8g?!
