Right then, this will be my next army after my DG but i wanted to start a blog where i could ask questions, learn and gather models etc without having to start new threads and then lose them all because I can't recall where i posted what. So frmo now on new army list ideas model ideas etc will be in here.
Please understand this is purely in the planning phase right now

First question, has anyone seen/bought these and are they any good?

Or if not, do you think they would work as "scouts" in the SM codex etc?

The Prob I'd have when planning such an army is, that in my opinion a great amount of troops just will be mindless servitors and skitarii. Acording to the "Mechanicus" book from the HH-Range they use them for many tasks such as fighting aswell.

Then you have the "Knights", which could be a count as Sentinels.

and few High-level Command characters like Forge-Masters.

And of course no Forge is complete without one or two Reaver Titans and some Warhounds

Hmmm OK been studying up...What do you people know about the "Steel Confessros" SM chapter?

All I can find is that they where 'made' by the adeptus Mechanicus for their own uses from the Wonky Tin Men gene seed...that Terra found out about them but allowed them to continue functioning after they had taken the usual oaths etc like the other chapters....

The way i see it thats a chapter of Techmarines...right?

I'll buy that for a dollar!

I think it seems like it would be a unique and cool army, phil! I look forward to seeing where you take this...
