With the Mechanicum Battle group containing over 50 bases, the box of Stalker Constructs containing 6 stalkers and 8 swarmers, and the Serperos ‘Overlord’ box containing 4 heavy stalkers we she should see some nasty battles on Mars.
Absolutely. It seems like they're making it easy to build up a good force. While I like the variety in the Astartes and Solar Auxilia boxes to some degree, it does make it difficult to get decent numbers of specialist units. I hope they follow this pattern for the rest of the Mechanicum.
I think a lot of people were turned off by the limited factions at first -- so hopefully the Mechanicum release will bring lots of new people to the fold!
It's good that these stalker units can be run in a single formation. I can add them as a supporting force for my Iron Warriors. Now to see the points costs.
Thank you for this review! These loo really cool. I guess I am just old, I noted that there is a probably more than coincidental similarity between the Dark Mechanicum stalker aesthetic and the privateer press cryx stalker bonejack and harrower / Leviathan hell jacks. It would be interesting to actually see them in a side by side comparison. I am not complaining, cryx was my faction back in the day.
Thanks for the content ... It helps to get more people into this game ... !!
Thank you! If I can encourage people to try the game, then it's all worth it

Thanks so much for the Legions Imperialis content! Looking forward to another faction for the game!

I agree -- at first I thought they were going to be a supporting element, but now it seems like you can field an entire army of them

I agree -- there's definitely some similarity there. I used to play Warmachine when it first came out, so I know exactly what you mean.
@tacticaeimperialis-j8r who did the line drawings of various 30k characters used in the videos?
Mark Smylie is the artist. I originally commissioned them for a trophy for our local group, and repurposed them a bit for the channel.
Awesome, thank you. I’m looking for something very similar for a project. Is he the same comic artist for Artesia (I loved that series)? Thanks!
@@christopherm4510 Yes, he's the creator of Artesia -- one of my favorite comics, also!
