Mechanicum - Mrymidon Destructors w/ Irradiation Engines #2

Hello Tech Adepts, thanks for dropping by. The latest addition to the Mechanicum Taghmata is another squad of Mrymidon Destructors, the heavy infantry, each a Tech Magos fully adapted for war. I thought I'd get these done before the plastic new sculpts drop - I think I prefer these weapons to the newer single 'barrel' versions.
The Myrmidon Destructors are priests of the Mechanicum who specialise in the art of destruction with ranged weaponry and the embodiment of this within their own vastly augmented bodies.
These are all armed with Irradiation Engines, a 'torrent' flamer template radiation weapon which auto hits and wounds on 2+, and reduces target toughness by 1 due to the heavy doses of radiation.
These were bought secondhand and rebased and re-branded Mars loyalist Mechanicum! Previous squad were also Dark Mechanicum repainted Mars but with blue robes seen HERE.
These are akin to the Mechanicum version of Terminators, strong armour, fairly slow and dish out short range punishment. I have another few squads of these with other weapon options, hopefully there will still be rules for them by the time I actually get a game with them. 

Cheers, Siph (6pts)

Hello Tech Adepts, thanks for dropping by. The latest addition to the Mechanicum Taghmata is a squad of Mrymidon Destructors, the heavy infantry, each a Tech Magos fully adapted for war.

These again were re-painted from Malinax Forge World force I bought from a mate, and re-branded Mars loyalist Mechanicum!

These are akin to the Mechanicum version of Terminators, strong armour, fairly slow and dish out short range punishment. I think i'll either need more or a transport for them. Just so happens I have a Macrocarid Explorator somewhere in the to-do pile...

Myrmidon Destructors (as Obliterator counts-as)

Hi guys - today I am showing off my Myrmidon Destructors from Forgeworld. The second they were released I knew I had to have some as counts-as Obliterators for my Iron Warriors army - and if that accidentally leads to a small Mechanicum force...I can live with that.


The really fit my Iron Warriors aesthetic that I am going for, with the robes (not dresses!), cables and big-ass guns! I can really image them being inspiration for the first Obliterator experiments.


Being Forgeworld, the casts are great, although for some reason they were a beast to glue (I typically don't bother pinning any more as I find the glue I use up to the job with plastics and resins and metal minis are all but extinct now). I quite liked how FW supply the cables in straight rods and it is up to the modeller to bend them however they want. I now just hope they make a couple more variants.
