Forge World’s Mechanicum Marches Out More Thallanx Cohorts
January 19, 2015 by brennon
More machinery came out from Forge World to bolster the ranks of the Mechanicum and it takes the form of some more automatons. See what you think of the Thallanx Cohorts with Phased Plasma-Fusil and Irad-Cleanser...
"Deployed as Thallax Cohorts by their Mechanicum overseers, these cold, calculating killing machines witness the devastation they unleash against human and alien alike as a raging storm of electromagnetic turmoil, blood-heat and seismic percussion. When faced with far more powerful foes, the Thallax Cohort’s standard lightning guns can be replaced with more specialised and volatile weaponry such as the arcane irad-cleanser/plasma-fusil"
Not bad looking bots at all and I love seeing what else the Forge World team come out with for the Mechanicum. With the news that the Adeptus Mechanicum could be well getting their own Codex soon this certainly makes the variety of miniatures we'll see on the tabletop an interesting prospect.
Will you be fielding these?
Phased Plasma-Fusil for me please!
Very nice, and not a sword among them! Man-sized or slightly bigger, so they can go where a squad goes… makes sense as a fire support thingie.
Hmmm… might be apples and oranges, but I’m actually more partial to the Afterlife exo-mechs, now that I compare the two. Different styles to be sure. These look alien, while the Afterlife figures look more like something humans would build.
nice mini’s but i’ve just read about these guys and i found that they are kind of useless game wise, lightning guns are heavy, so you can’t move and shoot with them and they are only range 17″. they only good for keeping enemy units tied up in combat with their 3 wounds each. but it’s a lot of points for not much. unless i am wrong, if i am please tell me because i want some, they are just too pretty 😛
Those are really nice.
they are interesting bots.
