Warhammer: The Horus Heresy - Mechanicum - Skitarii Battle Group

The bulk of the nomadic contingents of the Skitarii Battle-Pilgryms are bound together as conclaves. Attuned to an unnaturally long existence of unceasing pilgrimage and war, they care little for the comforts of civil life, nor do they possess aspiration to ascend through ranks or hierarchy. Instead, they are singularly focused on the defence of the domains of the Omnissiah and the acquisition of lost technology, to prevent it from falling into the hands of the unworthy.

If you want to claim the galaxy in the name of the Omnissiah (whether you believe that to be the Emperor or not), this box is the perfect way to start a new Mechanicum collection – or expand an existing army – and save money compared to buying the kits individually. Based around a core of Skitarii Battle-Pilgryms armed with voltlock arquebuses and equipped with extended leg augmetics, they are fast and hit hard. Led by a Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Marshal, a veteran warrior with specialised equipment, and supported by an airbourne Skitarii Vultarax Stratos-Automata, they are ready to take the fight to the enemies of the Mechanicum. It's the first place you'll be able to get your hands on these new miniatures.

This boxed set builds 18 multipart plastic Mechanicum miniatures:

– 1x Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Marshal

– 1x Vultarax Stratos-Automata

– 16x Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Corpus miniatures

The miniatures in this kit are easy to customise. The Battle-Pilgrym Marshal has a choice of three heads and can be armed with a voltlock handgun or an archeotech pistol, and a phase claw, a corpusant stave, or an auctorit sceptre.

The Vultarax Stratos-Automata has two tendrils, each with three slots, from which it can choose three different dendrite talon designs that are shared across both tendrils.

Up to two of the Battle-Pilgryms can be built as squad leaders. Each of the Battle-Pilgryms has a choice of two heads – helmeted or bare.

This kit is supplied with 1x Mechanicum Macro Constructs Transfer sheet, containing 394 high quality waterslide transfers. These include symbols for Opus Machina, Opus Taghmata, Iungum Cybernetica, Covenant Cybernetica, and Fracta Aedificium, along with other lines, markings, and cogs to decorate your miniatures.

This kit comprises 313 plastic components, 1x Citadel 32mm Round Base, 1x Citadel 100mm Round Base, 20x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases, and 1x Citadel 115mm Ball Stem Adaptor. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Rules for using these miniatures in your games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy can be found in Journal Tactica – Skitarii: The Steel Hand of Mars, available separately.

These miniatures will be available separately at a later date. This boxed set is only available while stocks last.
