So I have had a long running idea of building an Inqusition force with a few space marines (likely to be servitors as we dont want any witness') and mechanicum... Now I dislike the aesthetic of 40k mechanicum, they just look goofy to me. I'm wondering with 8th edition around the corner if there is any way I can ally 30k mechanicum to my army? It would really flesh out the aesthetic I'm looking for.

I would bet the upcoming forgeworld IA Fires of Cyraxus will be giving 40k rules to a number of their 30k mechanicus models.

Wait for Fires Of Cyraxus. It'll be out within the next 10^14 years. Maybe.

Or just magnetize and counts as regular 40k mechanicum stuff.

and in 10 years you can just use them as there intended model

so I have to wait for the book, that's fine. I've got a bunch of painting to do to keep me busy till then
