Myrmidon Destructor Host
Need to add a little extra punch to your Mechanicum army? The logical choice is the Myrmidon Destructor Host. Each of these single-minded walking weapons platforms can be armed with either an infantry-melting irradiation engine or an armour-bursting darkfire cannon, alongside their shock charger, which they use to crush enemies in close combat.
Each Myrmidon Destructor has a choice of two heads – bare or hooded – and the servo-skulls are interchangeable across the six miniatures, making it easy to customise your elite infantry. Rules for using them in the Age of Darkness can be found in Journal Tactica: Skitarii – The Steel Hand of Mars.
Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Marshal
When the Fabricator General has lost something really important, they send out a Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Marshal and their horde of Skitarii Battle-Pilgryms to secure it. We can’t guarantee they can find that part you clipped off and dropped on the floor, though.
They can be armed with a range of esoteric weapons – a voltlock handgun or archaeotech pistol, and an auctorit sceptre, phase claw, or corposant stave. They also have a choice of three heads, meaning your Marshals will look different should you choose to lead your Skitarii Conclave with more than one.
Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Corpus
The Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Corpus accompany the Marshal into battle. Each is armed with a voltlock arquebus – a devastating anti-infantry weapon – and they open up new tactical options for a Mechanicum army. The 16 miniatures in this kit can be fielded in one large unit, or two smaller ones of eight Battle-Pilgryms, each with their own Ordinator squad leader. They’ll all comfortably fit inside a Triaros Armoured Conveyor, which will ensure they get to those juicy bits of lost technology before your enemy does.
Vultarax Stratos-Automata
If your Battle-Pilgryms need some air cover, the Vultarax Stratos-Automata is a floating weapons platform. Suppress enemies with an arc blaster, fire horde-slaying airburst, and tank-wrecking shaped charge missiles, and cut up anyone who gets too close with vicious talons. Its speed and ability to fly over intervening units and terrain mean you can get that deadly weaponry exactly where you need it on the battlefield.*
The new Mechanicum miniatures have no allegiance-specific markings, meaning you can induct them into your army whether you believe the Emperor to be the Omnissiah or just a false prophet. Get some inspiration for painting your Marshal, Battle-Pilgryms, and Vultarax from our team.
