Deployed onto the battlefield as elite shock troops or the bodyguards of their magos overseers, Mechanicum Scyllax Guardian-automata have been adapted with a wide variety of mechadendrites and servo-arms for dissecting living matter with murderous speed. With an armoured carapace as durable as Legiones Astartes battle plate and powered by a rad furnace which can vent debilitating radiation at will, the Scyllax Guardian-automata are a force to be truly feared on the battlefield.

The Mechanicum Scyllax Guardian-automata Covenant consists of four Scyllax Guardian-automata, each armed with a Scyllax bolter and various interchangeable claws and mechadendrites forming a mechadendrite combat array. Scyllax Guardian-automata Covenants can be taken in Mechanicum armies in Horus Heresy games and experimental rules for this unit are available to download HERE (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/S/scyllax.pdf).

It is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 27th March.

Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Mechanicum Scyllax Guardian-automata are. You have to see them for yourself.

No you can be told, in fact i will sum them up in one word "meh"

everything they do is done better by something else for the points. tech thralls are a better tar pit, thallax and castellax are better in close combat and shooting. Maybe there a good generalist unit but i find even that hard to swallow

Sadface.

On the upside, I don't play 30k, so I don't really give a tinker's cuss what they may or not do in game.

They do look somewhat like sentinels from the matrix though, which was the point I was so hilariously making.

Maybe you don't remember the Matrix though, it was an M2.999 movie after all.

Or perhaps you took the blue pill.

[Path Walker]

they look awesome and can have S6 AP2 CC hits so not too bad for busting vehicles, their bolters are nice against auxillia too

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

I love them! They are exactly the kind of thing I love about the mechanicum - the weirdness, the trailing cables and they make you wonder how much of them is organic. I might actually buy a squad of these for my void dragon cult. I hope the 40k mechanicum takes more influence from these sort of units rather than the tech thralls and robotic walkers as those don't appeal to me.

EDIT : Oh wow, they are a troops choice! Perfect! Thanks FW :D

Sadface.


don't worry, I got it

[Wolfshade]

Mmm v ery nice

[Mr Mystery]

-1T on enemy units locked in combat is tasty.

[DrBored]

All those fiddly bits look like a nightmare to put together

[Mr Mystery]

Easy to paint though!

[YorkNecromancer]

Pleasing. Easy to scratchbuild and a nice set of rules.

I like.

Statement: They will be useful....

Do I order, or wait and see what WD brings?

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

Do I order, or wait and see what WD brings?If it affects your decision I'm pretty sure the Mechanicum plastics will be added to the 30k list. The only reason I had faith in the plastic Mechanicum rumors was that Forgeworld was pointedly avoiding doing anything with Skitarri, Techpriests or Servitors.
