The naming conventions of the Celestials 'Mechs sound influenced right out of 40k's Imperium. High-minded. The Malak looks monstrously intimidating for added effect to the Blakists' Celestials introductions, as a Light-classed design. Shock and awe. I think I'd pilot the base Invictus model, of any of them, though the variants have some wide-ranging uses. The “S” version is too laser-loaded for my tastes. Oh, I definitely prefer the Preta of these two models. Not that I'd kick out the preceding recon scout 'bot of Blake if I was commanding a Star or greater. That's too bad about the cyborg pilots, though. The “D” configuration is a knifefighter? I'd try that out, and in close-combat gladiatorial pits, too. The 'face' kinda looks like a jet-based Decepticon. How many Malaks could the “B” sniper-function Preta kill off in an average engagement? I'd also enjoy taking the “U”nderwater 'Mech out for a swim. These battle bodies by Blake(ists) do seem to be worth their mettle for standing up to the Clans. Some badass FASA Insecticons in the BattleTech galaxy. These are definitely an interesting pair of models with which to introduce the Blakists' surprise series of counter-invasion designs. I'd certainly like to see what the other builds that the space cultists came up with are like. Repel the intruders. Thank you, as always, for enriching this wonderful future-universe of the '80s, Narrator. I wish you a terrific and healthy week.

Following up on this, I have been reading up on the Jihad lore. Putting two and two together why the Manei Domini were created and the ethos of WoB regarding the clans, it became clear as day to me. They considered the clans abominations and the shadow divisions were created to genocide them off the map. Going with this idea, why would the WoB keep the naming conventions of the original inventors of the omnimechs? A, B, C, D, etc? Heretical! Invictus, Dominus, etc... May the Blessing of Blake be Upon you... launches the nukes...

Thanks for covering these guys. The Manei Domini are a pretty neat idea, even if they were poorly handled by the writers. They were specifically formed to fight a genocidal war with the Clans, but effectively had the rug pulled out from under them by the dissolution of the second Star League. In practice, the Celestials are pretty nasty clanbusters that have served me well against the vile Wolves.

The Invictus is one of my favorite mech because sometimes I like to get closed up in battle with melee and missiles is a good Bonus for some reach out And distance action before coming in with the blade And finishing off your attendant Target 😉👍

I bought a lot of figures a while back. It came with a Seraph. I thought for the longest time it was from a different game. Thanks to you I now know what it is.

The Preta A was a 'mech, I was able to make good use of. The lasers with added targetting computer precision and the very long jump, really makes others extra cautious of it.
