Hi y'all! I'm completely new to HH (and I don't know anything about 40k really either. I play a ton of AoS).

I've grabbed a couple lots of second-hand stuff that I think looks cool. I was hoping for some help in

  • filling obvious gaps now
  • advice to build to 3k points with LOW

Here's what I've got:
3x Magos (2x manipulus, 1x enginseer)
2x Thanatar
15x Thallax Cohort
6x Myrmidon Destructors
8x Scyllax
2x Triaros (maybe convert/magnetize to Karacnos?)
1x Krios

Thanks! 🙂

for low i suggest Atrapos for shit and giggles

Bearing in mind that things are about to change, and we don't know to what extent for Mechanicum; beyond that this looks like a good starting point for a mixed list.

What weapons have your Myrmidons and Thallax got?

not so special

#

i choose Castellan aka Dominus or Valiant

#

for plastic

#

but

#

if you got 3d printer or someone on dragons land, you can convert plastic knight (questoris one) into Magaera or Styrix

#

and heres why i choose Atraapos

#

simple, it shoots black hole

#

and depicted in game, on a roll of 6 before firing the Graviton Singualrity

#

the template became Vortex, means its a funny D-strength template who can cause havoc to your enemy, or backfired to you forces, since they always move

Oh that's awesome. The Atropos does look awesome too

You should probably just leave the triaros as is, the karacnos is a completely different kit and you can't really get ahold of the missiles separately. They'll be your only way to bus those myrmidons around

#

Seems like a start to a reductor (tanks and artillery) army

#

They're the same like chassis but yeah you can't really turn a triaros into a karacnos modelwise

#

See how the main hull is just one solid chunk?

I couldn't find one online unfortunately

#

It's a woefully underused tank

#

I just love the style of both of them so much

#

I saw a few at LVO and that's why I decided to get Mechanicum
