Tech-thralls are created by the Mechanicum through basic augmetics and cranial surgery as the need for them arises and, in the case of the Legio Cybernetica, the use of captured prisoners and criminals requisitioned from local authorities is common. Considered a lower order of being than most servitors by their masters, the ultimate fate of most tech-thralls is to end their lives recycled into servitor components and their implants harvested for use in future thralls as their bodies fail under the relentless toil to which they are subjected.

The Tech-thralls with Las-locks, designed by Mark Bedford, are a complete multi-part resin kit comprising five models armed with las-locks. These models are available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday January 31st.


Castellax Battle-Automatia with Multi-Melta and discy hand things, £36 (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/CASTELLAX_BATTLE-AUTOMATA_WITH_MULTI-MELTA.html)

The Castellan-type Battle-automata’s modular chassis allows it to carry a variety of different weapons configurations, one of which provides the armour penetrating firepower of a multi-melta and replaces the Castellan’s standard shock chargers with Battle-automata power blades.

The Castellax Battle-automata with Multi-melta, designed by Will Hayes, is a complete multi-part resin kit armed with a multi-melta, two Battle-automata power blades and a choice of two flamers or boltguns. This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday January 31st.

Looks like my Servitors will be replaced with Techthralls.

They also make an interesting base for Pit Slaves, Necromunda fans!

I like the tech-thralls plenty, apart from the las-locks. Seems overdone for a lasgun variant, although it'd be an easy thing to correct via kitbash.

They definitely look better than any of the current combat servitor models.
Though I think whoever painted them might have played too much bioshock.

I like how they don't look any more or less 'techy' than the existing Servitors, just a bit more uniform.

Oh my... Although the big cutty circle hands look a bit odd, prefer the others.

Any idea where the rules are for the Tech Thralls. I'm curious ...

Any idea where the rules are for the Tech Thralls. I'm curious ...Horus Heresy: Massacre. They're basically Imperial Guard Conscripts with S4, S4/AP6/Assault 1 Lasguns and Feel No Pain. Don't have access to special/heavy weapons. Very cheap.

Sexy indeed. I'm seeing these as Dark Mechanicus-crafted Stormtrooper stand-ins for my Chaos IG Allies... :D

That's a pretty good use for them!

Though at £25 for 5, I can hear my wallet gently weeping from here....and it's 35 odd miles away....
