Anyone care to share their non-mars paint-job for their skorpius? Just trying finalise how im going to paint them, looking for inspiration but every one i see painted is just a box of a single colour which im not keen on.

I am curious about this as well. I only recently started an AdMech army based on the Skitarii that came with the Kill Team starter box, but I intent to grow it out to a full fledged 40k army with some Knight support. I choose the Xana II / Malinax colour scheme of bone white, so the beige interior that the default Mars colour scheme has would indeed make it a big box of the same colour.

But I also fully understand that the lighter interior colour for the Mars scheme is there to make the interior look bigger and show its detail, so I'm reluctant to have a contrasting darker colour for the interior. So very interested how other people with a lighter colour scheme have tackled this.

If it was only the 3D3 shots, dude that thing would be horrible. Twice the price of an autocannon ironstrider for on average 1 less shot with the potential for way less shots?

Not sure how you reached those numbers? 3D3 is 6 shots on average and a minimum of 3 shots, while an autocannon ironstrider has 4 shots.

They mention in the article he has a grav-gun, so I wouldn't expect him to be a vehicle killing monster.

Also something to keep in mind is that the rules for these models are probably a one time thing. I wouldn't except them to be added to any future codex or rule/point cost updates.

One special weapon under 10, and two special weapons at 10+ models, same for Omnispex or Data-tether.

Actually, if I read the blurry text from the above review right, it looks like you can have 1 arc rifle per 10 models, 1 plasma caliver per 10 models and 1 arquebus per 10 models. So in a 10 man squad you can have 3 special weapons, but basically only one of each, like how it comes in the box.

It doesn't say, it justs reads "For each detachment in your army with this ability, you can chose an Auxiliary Super-Heavy Questor Mechanicus in your army. The models of this detachment gain the Knights of the Cog keyword."

Yeah, it looks like it was just meant so that you can include a knight without losing the buffs from Doctrina Imperatives and Canticles of the Omnissiah - which you would normally lose if your army isn't entirely AdMech - not to save you the CP cost.
