So I got my harpyrax siege drones painted, they're a count as unit to use in adeptus titanicus in place of acastus knight porphyrions or asterius's. The smaller ones were printed at -20% scale to be able to fit 2 on a 60mm base. Did that for both kinds representing the porphyrion/asterius versions. Also did one at full scale as well, basically at hat size one is enough to fill the 60mm base. Only rules problem with that is the main weapons are supposed to be paired, meaning if one of the barrels los was blocked by terrrain you'd reduce the number of shots by 2, but in this setup you've only got the one barrel. Used all my mechanicum themed terrain, it's a mix of grimdark terrain and sacrus mundus. Also a bunch of gw stuff and some custom old school cactuses. Gotta have that mega fauna for AT. I can't remember where I got the little drones, I think thingiverse. The little shuttle is bits blitz designs, the big gunship and hover vehicle are by vanguard miniature, the hover vehicle has a grimdark terrain crate in it and some vanguard dudes added. Also have some vanguard and bits blitz dudes on the bases.

Wrote some fluff for the units as well

Harpyrax Siege Drone

Ponderous as they are armoured, the harpyrax siege drones comprise a strange combination of incredibly sophisticated tracking systems, heavy long range weaponry and sluggish but powerful thrusters and grav plates often reserved for small starships. Though able to re-position in a fairly rapid manner if required to do so, harpyrax siege drones more often move at a fairly limited combat speed as a large part of their power reserves are slaved into their weapon's capacitors. Entire banks of servitors installed deep within the ceramite hulls of the haryprax are dedicated to the sole task of careful power distribution and the re-routing of power to various critical sub systems.

Harpyrax are fitted with extensive and intricate high yield data augers that allow them to track data packets and sniff scrap code, this targeting data is uplinked noospherically to friendly harpyrax in proximity allowing for highly coordinated fire support. In addition to being incredibly well armoured and ion shielded for automata of their size, harpyrax siege drones were designed to take the heaviest punishment a warzone could throw at them and as such also deploy all manner of passive and active counter measures. A common tactic when outnumbered is to launch parachuting electro-flares to disrupt enemy target acquisition and cause false returns on enemy auspex sweeps allowing the harpyrax to extricate themselves under cover of false auspex hits. A substantial portion of the harpyrax's logic engines are dedicated to esoteric electronic warfare and command and control sub routines allowing for one drone in a banner to operate as a pack leader or alpha directing relaying target priory to its subordinates. The alpha itself may also be brought under remote guidance by magos or techpriest overseers.
