I've always loved the Adeptus Mechanicus, and as Forge World has been kind enough to release an armylist for them after all this time I thought I should indulge myself in Mechanicus goodness.

I have decided to make an army based on what was previously a little known branch of the Mechanicus, the Legion Cybernetica. The legio deals with the near heretical technologies and techno arcana of thinking machines and robots. To represent such an army I will be acquiring as many of the Forge World robots as I can but also making a few things of my own. 

In this first post I'm going to showing off my latest conversion in progress, the HQ for my Legio forces the command barque.

I've used Santa's sleigh from the new Logan Grimnar kit and used it as the main body of the barque. Making this kit a suitable vessel for the Omnissiah was no easy task, removing the freses that were on the sides and interior through much cutting, sanding, and greenstuffing was like smashing my head against a wall of holy cogitators. (I can still feel the burn of overworked finger muscles) 

The riders themselves are the reaver titan techpriest from inside the carapace, and the generic titan techpriest available from Forge World. After the painting I want to add some floating holographic screens projected from the upward looking servo skulls inside the vehicle body.

The bearers for the barque are arco-flagellants from the Sisters of Battle range, I love how brutally dark and dehumanizing the concept of servo lobotomisation is and how well it shows how desperate the Imperium is for weapons. These models are fantastic!
