How to Build a Mechanicum List (Horus Heresy)

[@earnestwanderer2471]

My take on lists as well. As good as you can make them whilst still being themed and fun. Probably going to pick up this liber and see what I can cobble together. Thanks again for great info.

[@Hearesy]

Thanks! Its a fun book despite itself, so i dont think youd regret that.

[@Furythrow2]

Helpful review and interesting list examples. Really enjoyed the mechanicum series

[@Hearesy]

Thank you sir!

Keep up the content. Been over a week since last video

[@MLaak86]

Definitely interested in these lads.

Honestly, spamming with tech thralls and Thallax with Archimandrite and Lacyraemarta seems to be the way to go for line. Then just fill to taste with the biggest guns you like in your 5 heavy support and 6 elites slots. Also I finally made a discord account, lmao, now I just need to join 👀

Enjoying your videos. I really think you are right about the Mechanicum List feeling far less tightly written. Some issues I think seem odd; +++Archmagi don't have Patris Cybernetica, so I don't think they can join Automata units. I *really* hope that is just an oversight, but I am worried... +++A Magos Dominus does get Patris Cybernetica, BUT, if you put them on an Abeyant, they gain Monstrous. The way Patris Cybernetica is written, I think that prevents them joining an Automata unit, even if that unit itself also has Monstrous... As a result, I think the only unit that can join Automata is a foot-Magos Dominus. +++Another issue is whether Paragons can react. The wording in their rules is different to that of Cybernetica. Enough different to wonder if they are meant to be able to react, but they left it out by accident. I don't need to make any final decisions about what I am buying yet, but I hope some of this gets sorted before I get that far!

[@Hearesy]

Thanks! I agree, those are all weird, the abeyant dominus *can* join automata though luckily (he cant join non-automata that arent monstrous - can always join automata)

[@F1fty]

@@Hearesy ah yeah, re-read the magos dominus rule. Very badly written. Conditional clause at the end makes it very clunky.

[@F1fty]

Ah, the Archmagos needs to use the high techno-arcana to gain patris cybernetica

[@Bigjonmetal]

I played my first game with my Xana army that was cybernetica based. I found I needed to bring more tech thrawls so I updated the list to have 50 for screening castelax

Appreciate all the content put out, curious if anyone has solid recommendations on World Eaters (Crimson Path) using a Mechanicum allied detachment? Would love to buy a Thanatar even if it doesn't get fielded (such an awesome model)

[@Hearesy]

I own both Thanatars, theyre really good. Definitely think they’d work with anything!

[@ellisowendaniel]

Domitar and Myrmidons are insane in melee!

[@AubLambe]

Wanting to do a Mechanicum force for my next slow grow campaign. Should I just get some Thallax to start?

[@natesal5037]

Anyone have any recommendations of bring a detachment of mechanicum along side dark angels? I’m trying to make a dark angels+ plus xana army

[@Hearesy]

Evil dudes! DA can take care of melee so you can bring some mechanicum guns!

[@natesal5037]

@@Hearesy would you say I should throw some Thallax cohorts with a master of forge to act as artillery support?

[@holobiont3197]

40 grav myrmidons in lacrymaerta, make sure you pack 80 grav pulse markers.

[@KameradArktis]

i so want to start mech but all that resin is a no for me maybe one day we will have some plastic in this line
