Just thought id plonk this stuff here to add to the variety ITT....



The 'detriments' aren't really detrimental or even particularly restrictive - the bit about automata means you could still have a force compromised of an HQ, two Thallax Cohorts and NINE Thanatars (three maniples of 3)

Oh no, i have to take two units of Thallax...

yea, my mind went to that as a fellow mechanicum player, but that list was pretty overpowered from what I heard and With people already complaining it wasn't the best example imo. Really most of the HH1 FOC's are the prime examples of how they could be used.

The problem was people were using it to play a taghmata army with Ordo Reductor rules.
This is a sticking point for me that usually i hold my tongue over, because "who am i to say what models are 'right' or not?" but i really despise an Ordo Reductor list which has krios venators or more than one automata.
The ones id see around basicly didnt use ORAT or Minotaurs and that is Tech-Heresy in my eye.
Same with the secondary HQ choice, essentially turning the army into a taghmata/cybernetica hybrid with Magos Ordinator or Magos Dominus.
The only type of Dominus that should be in an Ordo Reductor Cohort is a "Dominus Triple-Bombard" artillery tank!

Spot on and agreed regarding the HH force org stuff- it was really well done; the extra elite and HQ choice over the normal 40k FOC was perfectly judged for the intention for the setting.
