Read Chapter 138 Here. (SPOILERS for Signalis)

Wherein a Mordred won't work until after he's had coffee, and a King steps one foot into darkness.

(Prelude to the Battle of Dagon.)

A really fascinating look at an earlier version of the Skitarii concept, in terms of publishing history. And/or just a weird local form of it, particular to the Mechanicus forces attached to the Legio Invicta.

Funnily enough, a Mechanicus character in the very next paragraph refers to them as "Barbarians" and "like another race" to his own people. So even a "bog standard" tech priest considers these Skitarii weird.

Anyone kitbash Skitarii in this style?

Read Chapter 136 Here. (SPOILERS for Signalis)

Wherein we find out what happened to the Sektor C Blockwart, and Elster's children real quick knock out that whole 'Blackstone Fortress' business.

(We're back to regular updates for the main fic. More updates forthcoming.)

I was re-reading through the Codex Army Lists booklet from 2nd Edition, under the Imperial Agents section. And I remembered, "Oh right, AdMech had Electrio-Priests as a unit option in this book". (Honestly, it's surprising how many options AdMech had here...for a force that's meant to be a small selection of Imperial Agents, and where you're not supposed to run them as their own army, only max 25% of a different Imperium army as Allies.)

But it got me curious. Did Electro-Priests actually have models during this period?

I know there were a variety of Tech Priest and Servitor models released throughout 1st and 2nd edition (including that Rogue Trader metal model that's just...a guy). But at least according to the Lexicanum page for AdMech miniatures, there were no "Electro-Priest" models, at any point, until Codex: Cult Mechanicus in 7th edition.

Were there models of them, that Lexicanum just don't record? Or were they an option GW intended to release, and just never did?
