Okay, so I have just read the Priest of Mars book and I'm rereading the Helsreach book. It kind of prompted me to think about a Mechanicus themed army.
I wanted Skitarri, Almost like a blend between servitors and the Iron hand(?) SM chapter. That would be awesome, but alas that's not allowed. :(
So this is what I came up with on the fly, a quick 2000 pt for fun army. I think it could be a big pain in the side for some people, especially if they don't have enough las or melta to answer this list.
I wanted it to be a Straight gun down army, Capturing objectives is going to be rough for this, I think it has the ability to blow some pretty big things off the field.
Tell me what you think, Does it need work? Should I replace something? What is the up sides and downsides for this list?
Thanks for the feedback guys!
