Atrapos. Seriously that is the only answer.

Atrapos is limited to one per 1000 (or 2000?) points for a reason. It owns.

Also if they are part of a Knight Household, the Styrix is more useful than the Magaera since it can do anti-air duty.

AA duty? You mean massed lightning guns?

Edit: Wait, which one of the short knights are the one with the volkite? Because it was either the volkite knight or the atrapos.

I switched out the front casemate heavy bolters for heavy flamers - the kit didn't come with any so I stole a pair of heavy flamers from leftover Sentinel bits.



Hell of a view from the front.

Styrix is the volkite one, Magaera is the blast lightning gun. In both cases still the Atrapos is a more terrifying choice for the enemy.

Reason why I mention AA duty is because in a Knight Household you can give it the Arbalester rank for Tank Hunter and, if you keep it still, Skyfire.

the dracosan transport was being sold for a while as a literally impossible to assemble model. as in, the bottom plate couldn't fit in the space allowed by the hull of the tank. over the course of a few weeks, FW sent me both a new bottom plate, and a new top hull, and no combination of them would fit. eventually i got an email from them saying 'oh we checked the master yeah these don't fit hahaha' and it went out of stock for a while as they, i assume, made a model that could actually be put together.

For ForgeWorld to notice quality issues they must literally turn to dust when removed from the moulds or something.

I think they are getting better, I've cursed at my fair share of FW models but the most "recent" model I got was the Ordinatus, and being a big rear end model I expected it to be a nightmare and it was flawless, might just be confirmation bias.
Will take note of how the robots look when I get them.

They do seem to spend more time checking over the more expensive stuff. Friend picked up a Thunderhawk, that mould is ooollld and it was pretty much flawless aside from some heating. Very impressed.

I just started assembling my Deredeo and that one is pretty much perfect. The barrels are only a tiny bit bent, everything else is spotless.

That's their fluff yeah. It means they get a special "Flare Ionic Shield" which combines the flare shield (-1S to incoming shots, -2S for blasts) and Ion and Blessed Autosimulacra (6+ It Will Not Die), but otherwise they're regular choices for a Questoris Knight list. The Atrapos too is from the AdMech.

I'm having the pleasure of struggling with that at the moment. Didn't think before sticking an engine block on the side, so spent last night with a tonne of green stuff filling all the gaps. Not looking forward to the Spartan.

For how boxy most FW vehicles are, they are a bitch to put together. I've had a hell of a time working on land raiders, sicarans, and rhinos. The two part kits are the worst. If you look closely at all the deimos pattern tanks the side/top plates are never flush and float atop the plastic. Their anthropomorphic stuff is less finicky though. Contemptors, robots, and marines come together pretty well... after you spend hours cleaning them. Resin just sucks in general.

That's a beautiful tank right there. Speaking of the Horus Heresy I decided to revisit everyone's favorite primarch Lorgar. I was very happy with his armor or his face so I just decided to redo everything. Still have a few details rap up as well as reattaching his mace but Im really happy with the new and improved Lorgar. As always comments and criticism are welcome.

Just thinking about my Sicaran makes me so loving angry.

The top/front combination part was warped in all three axes so it can fit flush with one of: The right side of the hull, the left side of the hull, the lower front of the hull. Never more than one. It's also too big and thick to heat properly.

I've put it in a box and not looked at it for a few months because I may as well have set fire to £80. This is entirely my fault because I'm well aware of FWs quality control issues but I got caught up in the moment with my debit card in Warhammer World.
