Hi all!

I'm not all that new to WH40K, I've been playing and modeling on and off for quite a while now (to give you an idea my first ever army book was the 3rd edition IG codex)
I've been away from the game for some time now (school and life can get you busy) but I'm taking a new job and I think I can finally afford the hobby again.

I am planning on starting an AdMech/Skitarii army and thought I could use my introduction to bounce some fluff ideas off of all you far more knowledgeable than myself...

First off I want my admech force to have an allied force of gene stealers.... My thinking goes that the admech army is slightly heretical being lead by an insane Genetor who commandeered either his home forgeworld or at least a bunch of their skitarii for his own devious ends and is now utilizing the population of some local planet for his own arcane genetic experiments...

I was also thinking about allying him with a knightly house (that has been mutated in some way).. Like he came t them a century beforehand to lay the groundwork for his scheme infecting/mutating them slowly for generations...

So thoughts? suggestions? ideas? Would this be feasible on the tabletop (I've always been more of a builder/painter and I'm a few rule sets behind in my knowledge)

Welcome! Your force is absolutely supported by canon (see The Bladed Cog in the GSC codex)
