I finally got the board finished and have started on the terrain, but I couldn’t wait to share.

Armiger Helverin chassis and left arm + Onager legs and icarus array

Wanted to run double onagers in my cyco+erad list for an upcoming GT, but I'm not a fan of the official box crab sculpt. Got inspired to do this really simple kitbash from old post on the Imperial Knights subreddit, and I think it turned out well enough to show off!

Went to ren fair in Shakopee

Greetings to all Tech Adepts!

The Holy Synod of Mars returns for its monthly praises to the Omnissiah!

This month’s submissions were similar to the unit they highlighted: fewer in numbers, but higher in quality!

In September, the subreddit decided to crown a classical take on our new elite unit, straight up from a John Blanche illustration: congratulations to u/ToughEntertainer2317 for winning the September Mini of the Month contest with their Filthy Gryphonne IV Hastarii! The rust on these minis is so convincing that you might think that they are not made of plastic anymore…

The winning post has been added to the subreddit sidebar, and if you would like a custom user flair, please let us know.

Winning posts will remain in a 3 month cycle, so three will be present until they begin to cycle out.

Honourable Mentions!

• WIP Hastarii for my Auxilia Myrmidon crusade force by u/HybridRanger64: this incredible kitbash is AdMech in all the best ways - the myrmidon look is hard to get right, and this submission nailed it (using non-metallic metal painting techniques too).
• Exkallos-Pattern Fusiliers by u/Artic_Lightning: just as Admech-y as the previous one, this kitbash gives great ideas on how to get a second unit of Hastariis out of the spare bits one might have after making their first unit! 
• Hastarii Fusiliers of Forge World Yaddosh by u/heburns2351: another great example of how simply adding the right bits to a kit can completely shift the vibe of the models… It is yet another great show for Forge World Yaddosh!
• Hastarii Exterminators by u/Level_Restaurant_872: a classical yet refined take on Metallican Hastariis with freehand motifs.

Additional thanks
The mod team would like to also thank all the other participants of this month’s contest: 

• Daughters of the Omnissiah by u/Economy-Pie2361
• Exterminating any who get in the way! By u/NegativeLight
• Hastarii Fusilier Alpha Juno-802 Xor from the Forge World Vantori by u/minusminus07
• Midas boys by u/Srociv

October Competition
While our cybercanids mostly sat in their mechanical stables due to rules that left them in the rarest part of the tenth edition meta, it’s time to bring them back in the limelight they always deserved: the coolest looking cavalry models in all of 40k, the Serberys Raiders & Sulfurhounds will be our October Mini of the Month!

Submit your unit of Serberys (this can include a kitbashed unit or even full proxies, as long as it is readable as Serberys).
(Reminder - don’t share links publicly to 3D printed files that replicate official models or parts)
Submissions must be fully assembled and painted. 

The final date for submissions for this month's contest will be October 31st, and the results will be posted in the following days so we can have time to either pick the next Mini or run a poll on it. 

Please submit your post in the following format:

Post Title as Hastariis or your homebrew Serberys’ name, forgeworld etc
<Mini of the month POST FLAIR>
<a photo of your Candidate>
Any custom lore your unit have on their service record, via Crusade games or homebrew or about your army, etc (optional) 

The highest upvoted post will be displayed on the side bar of the sub, and the user can request a custom user flair (relating to the mechanicus) of their choice. 

Ave Deus Mechanicus!

PS: big thanks to u/CuriousWhiteGoat for the photo of this month's post!
