Come see this latest on one of the coolest factions in Warhammer that get to babysit the Titan Legions; Forge World’s Mechanicum Secturii!

Secturii
- there are two units that have been shown so far. The Hoplites and the Peltasts.
- these will be resin upgrade kits to the plastic skitarii sets from GW
- the Hoplites carry shields, spears and large generators on their backs, the more men in a squad the more power their generators crate, allowing them to get better saves and even shoot lightning out of their spears.
- the Peltasts carry grenade launchers by default and have special ammo to allow them to act in defensive and offensive manners, including gas rounds.
- the field missions for the Secturii is to assist the titan legions on the battlefield, by fighting enemies too small or close for the titans to practically shoot at. they also have the mission of recovering the titan princeps and crew when a titan falls in battle, then guarding the wreckage from the enemy, alongside simply guarding the titans encampments from intruders.
- they will first see printed rules in the next imperial armour book later this year, and will then see 3ok rules at the end of the year in inferno (prospero)
Imperial Armor Fires of Cyraxus of Roundups
Wow that sounds Fantastic. Looks like these will be in both Fires of Cyraxus and Inferno as well?
I really dig the new mini army lists and factions that seem to come with each new Horus Heresy book, like book VI’s Knights Errant and Shattered legions. Big things are coming from Forge World in 2016, and I am sure this is just another piece in a much larger puzzle.
