Informational: Not skittarius.

Forgeworld Damascion was attacked by forces of the arch enemy shortly after the great rift tore into real-spsce.

The bulk of the skittari legions raised by the world were anihillated in the assault.

It was only through the miracle of Magos Diogenus VIII uncovering the vulkite reactor device labeled the "T0ST3R" unit, and the resulting energy wave that ripped apart the advancing horses, that the Forgeworld was saved.

Consequently, the Archmagi Synod that ruled Damascion declared the vast majority of the legiones skitarrii disbanded.

To make up for this loss, the remaining Skitarius were given command and tactical data-cognition implants and set as officers and commanders. Under them, an entire hive-forge of servitors was reconfigured as battle-servitors to be used as ground troops.

Further more, a new brank of millitant monasticism known as the Brotherhood of the Cog was created to both venerate Diogenus as a living saint of the machine god and proclaim the glorious Miracle of the T0ST3R to the enemies of the Omnissiah.

These monks are what you see before you.

 

Nice work on those Mechanicus monks!

 

Thanks!

I'm having fun with them. I've got more printed, along with a bunch of designs for other units.

 

just primed 15 more brothers.

I painted some imitation legionaries for a republican roman era imagi-nations project yesterday, but the shields are not done so i am hesitant to post them. do yall want to see?

 

Yes please

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Another vote for yes please!

 

Those look great, that Blue is really vibrant
What sort of shields will they have?

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Ave Imperator!

Which company are those from?

 

republican roman oval scutum

Victrix on the main bodies and some of the heads. other heads are a mix of Wargames atlantic (both the persians and afghan warriors sets) and 3d printed.

 

Not done, but getting there. More organizing and consolidation tommorow. For now I'm happy I got this built and some stuff put on it

 

It is nice to have it organized. Good for you

Are all of these models yours? or is this commission as well?

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Commissions have not been moved on to it yet and to be perfectly honest not all of my collection is there either.

I'm working to change that though

 

First 6 guard Lancers. I don't have the imagi-nation fully planned out and thus don't have a name for the country so to speak.

So it looks like I have been remiss in my duties. I finished that full unit of spara bara and I also just completed a unit of skirmishers with javelins. Next is the unit of mede spearmen. After that it's only 380 Persians to go.

 

Lovely cloth textures and colour balance. They really pop.

Are they from Warlord games? You might have said higher up already.

 

Wargames Atlantic

 

Mede Spear Levy complete.

 

20 archers and a mounted commander built. Painting begins tommorow.
