Forgeworld Pushes the Mechanicus
Today Forgeworld releases 2 new Mechanicus kits and they went out of their way to promote their expanding Ad-Mech model range…
MECHANICUM THALLAX COHORT WITH PHOTON THRUSTER
£28.00
The Thallaxii are heavily augmented cyborg shock-troops used by the Mechanicum Ordo Reductor, and they differ from the Skitarii regiments both in purpose and the unique degree of their augmetics. The Lorica Thallax was developed from power armour technology and requires a robust human specimen.
The Lorica encloses the major organs, nervous system and cerebrum, but entirely replaces the skeletal structure and limbs with armoured bionics powered by an internal reactor-core. Surgical excision of the subject’s pain sensors, emotions, and normal human sensory apparatus and the agony caused by the Lorica’s implantation, leaves the Thallax a cold, calculating killing machine (albeit one that retains a degree of independent thought).
This set includes three resin Mechanicum Thallax models, one of which is armed with a photon thruster weapon, the others being armed with lightning guns. These models are available for pre-order now and will be despatched from March 31st. Models designed by Will Hayes.
MECHANICUM THALLAX COHORT WITH MULTI-MELTA

Then we got a “hint, hint” link to the Mechanicus section of the Forgeworld page where there are more units then most people think…. I would expect a fully playable army range by the time the third Horus Heresy book comes out in a few months.
Here’s my question for you Mechanicus fans in this era of the Forgeworld being pulled into the main game:
~Have at it…
