Sorry for the delay in reply.<br /><br />Alpha legion coupled with some Mechanicum allies would make a solid 1k list, if you have a Forge Lord as you HQ equip him with a cortex controller and you get a detachment of either Castellax or Thallax as an elites choice without having to go thru the allies route.<br /><br />The Darkfires were made by simply butchering an Imperial Guard Lascannon and adding a targeter from one of the emplaced weapons sets (Icarus lascannon I think?). I briefly cover it here: http://agalaxyinflames.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/mechanicum-wip-1.html<br /><br />As for the Contemptor vs Castellax, I have only ever fought one in CC, and it was two against one (favoring mechanicum). In 6th if you got the charge off, you got 3x Smash attacks at Str 10 that could reroll to pen, with two Castellax I averaged 3 hits out of 6 attacks, and managed a pen on every single one. But not before the contemptor finished off my third Castellax with 3x Str 10 DCCW attacks. They each have very different functions, but point for point and Castellax being MCs get the upper hand.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />KeepyKeepyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790976279112863023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366962561146992018.post-44258927950466158232014-06-24T06:00:30.059+10:002014-06-24T06:00:30.059+10:00Excuse my poor typing.

(Biased view really as i work in the sciences.<br /><br />looking the build a 100pts Alpha Legion Army (my personal favourites) and want to try a Castellax instead of taking a Contemptor. Could you give me a clue as to how you went about building your stunning darkfire cannons.<br /><br />Dont suppose you know how well the two (Contemptor and Castellax) compare in game terms. Hasve the sdtats but they never tell the full story.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />MattM Lloydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366962561146992018.post-223246850439880892014-04-04T09:51:17.470+10:002014-04-04T09:51:17.470+10:00Thanks mate, I am still laughing at our game where...Thanks mate, I am still laughing at our game where robots turned each other into scrap!<br /><br />Good call with the Castellax move, I think that will discourage abuse. In saying that, if you wanted to take 10-12 in a 1000pt list you probably could... not that anyone would.<br /><br />I heard about the 2500pt tourney and will have to get my arse into gear and get painting if I want any part of it, I need another 1500pts done, stat!Keepyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790976279112863023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366962561146992018.post-23455695703971562152014-04-03T13:29:17.997+10:002014-04-03T13:29:17.997+10:00Hells yeah they look awesome.

I love the Darkfire Cannons, such a simple and striking conversion!<br /><br />In the new list they've moved Castellax to 'non compulsory core' so that might settle people down a bit! <br /><br />There's a 2500pt Heresy tournament in Brisbane at the GW Battlebunker in June if you're interested!

...Thanks mate, pleasure to have you drop by again. <br /><br />Agreed, the Thallax are probably my favourite models. I wont be building anymore Castellax, save a Paragon of Metal, and when I expand it will be with more Thallax and probably some Tech Thralls (the guardsman looking dudes).<br /><br />Mechanicum is set to get a ton of new stuff in Book III, so Forge World will probably fleece my pockets again in the coming months!Keepyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790976279112863023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366962561146992018.post-71165423127358813212014-04-02T09:26:55.582+10:002014-04-02T09:26:55.582+10:00Cheers Palakir!
