Well, I've had this on my computer for a while - brainstormed concepts for a Mechanicus mod, but I don't have any modding skills myself. I figured this might be the best place to share it:


Egressus Ark Mechanicus like a remote research/monitoring station deployed from a landing craft that folds out.
-(unit)Surveyor Adept
Sergeant: Techpriest
Unit(3): Menial

Machine Sentinel Listening Post
-(upgrade): Machine Warden
-(upgrade): Machine Guardian

Servo-Turret Turret. Looks like a servo skull on a stick hooked up to some elaborate guns
-(upgrade): Missile barrels

Plasma Core generates energy
-(upgrade)Plasma Lore: Energy upgrade1
-(upgrade)Plasma Archana: Energy upgrade2

Thermo Core generates more energy

Data Communion Research building, like a square database structure, equipped a great bell on top and with techpriest operator, lever, and big green button that says ON, to the side
-(ability)Consult the Tarot: temporarily reveals many random patches of the map
-(upgrade)Catechism of the Autoculus: build faster
-(upgrade)Machine Spirit Communion
-(upgrade)Ceremony of Commission: permits building the Accessus Balisteria
-(upgrade) De Bellis Titanicus: permits building of Landing Titanicus
-(upgrade)Iron Messiah
-(upgrade)Arsenal
-(upgrade)Book of Five Runes: wrath of the engine aroused
-(upgrade)Machine Sermon: moral boost
-(upgrade)Logic game
-(upgrade)Hymn of Reforging
-(upgrade)Lord of Engines: enhances vehicles
-(upgrade)Chant Against Malfunction
-(upgrade)Prima Incubatoria: nullifies abilities
-(upgrade)Runic Mechanics

Cloister of the Magos Looks like bell shaped pod structure. Like the Prapathom Pagoda in Thailand, but with machine reliefs covering the entire surface like a whole-body tattoo
-(Commander) Magos: Can use all kinds of personal superweapons with proper upgrade, melee with mechandrites
-(upgrade)Nano-Genus Mechadendrites: Fires deconstructor nanobots that strip atoms from a target on a molecular level. (keeps suffering damage over time)
-(upgrade)Implant Macro-Cannon: Mini-artillery
-(upgrade)Sarcos-waveform generator: large splash damage
-(upgrade)Neuro-Disruptor: Stuns. Superb against commanders
-(upgrade) Distortion Cannon: Good vs. Vehicles
-(upgrade)Defense Laser: Slow cooldown, fires laser that heavily damages infantry in a fan
-(upgrade)Stumm Gas: Can emit gas covering the area around him that damage
-(upgrade)Stasis field projector: slows down enemy squads
-(upgrade)Razor Mechadendrites: CC weapon
-(upgrade)Haemoncolyte: stunted human familiar that absorbs damage
-(upgrade)Autosanguination Supremos: fast heal
-(upgrade)Conversion shield: takes less range damage. Energy shield
-(upgrade)Autosense: large sight radius
-(upgrade)Parawing: Can jump

Machine Shrine Cog shaped structure with teleporters.
-(unit)Techno-Magii: Powerful anti-monster, anti-daemon, anti-heavy infantry specialists. Hardcap 1

-(unit)Secutor: CC Techpriests have extensive martial enhancements such as pistol-armed mechadendrites, brutal close combat weapons and the special machinator array that vastly enhances their bulk, armour up their internal organs and increase the ability for weapon systems to interface with their implants. Hardcap 1

-(unit)Electro-Priest – Stuns, cc assault. Explodes on death, damaging units around it

-(unit)Techpriest Assassin: flying, hovering, squad of 3, excellent vs commanders/monsters. Hardcap 1

Skittari Barracks Squat iron structure that lands shuttles on top
-(unit)Hypaspist Skittari – meatgrinder infantry
Sergeant: Tribune
Unit: Hypaspist
Unit: Gun Servitor (2 available with upgrade)

-(unit)Sagitarii Skittari – negligible more durable version of hypaspist with heavier weapons, accurate grenade launchers hardcapped2
Sergeant: Tribune
Unit: Sagitarii
Unit: Gun Servitor (2 available with upgrade)

-(unit)Praetorian Heavies - super-enhanced (bionically/cybernetically/chemically/genetically etc) humans who are augmented with a huge array of cybernetics and heavy weapons. Move on tank treads or jointed mechanical legs plasma cannons. Looks kinda like Ogryn from the forso up. Require setup

Accessus Balisteria Vehicle building. Big metal door in the ground opens, box like structure thrusts upward from underground as it builds, releasing a vehicle from underground mag-lev transit lines
-(unit)Thud Gun Balisteria – basically gattling artillery

-(unit)Knight: a semi-humanoid war machine, like a better sentinel. Comes in squad of three

-(unit)Castellan Robot: squad armed with twin power fists and a heavy bolter. Once in battle will not obey orders but keep fighting

-(unit)Cataphractus Demolisher – Leman russ demolisher

Landing Titanicus Big cleared area where the Titan lands on retrothrusters
-(Upgrade)Synchro-Amniosis: Permits building of Warhound Titan
-(upgrade)Exhortationes Principiis: enables Plasma Blastgun
-(unit)Warhound Titan : Requires Relic
Weapons: Giant Plasma Cannon, Vulcan Mega Bolter
Special Abilities: Machine Spirit In Anger

WoW, GoldenHorde.. impressive detail. Can you also post this on RN here: http://forums.relicn...isplay.php?f=96 and here: http://forums.filefr...ar-series-1011/

The above have a wider community to view DoW1-related stuff. I mean here is fine but if you want faster responses you'll get it there.

I can make that above, however, happen in-game at the AE code level within 2 weeks. I have someone in mind but recommend you go into depth even more elaborating on everything. Devil in the details.

Doing the 3d models for units/buildings would require lots of effort -- you should also submit concepts or TT model screenshots also for each unit/building you are thinking about.

Hi guys,

as part of a "tale of X gamers" type deal, I'm doing a semi mech IG army, painted up with a bit of converting as well to represent the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Each month we're aiming to do about 300 points, and with a couple of weeks off I've made a decent start on April! I've never really done any weathering before, so wanted to make the vehicles feel fairly well worn, so far it feels like I'm achieving this reasonably well, that forge world painting book really is a godsend!

First up I did a test model for the guardsmen. I expect once I start converting squads, they will be quite a bit more different to this, but initially I just wanted to stick a figure together and paint it to kind of prove the concept to me in my head, I'm never really sold on an idea until I can see it infront of me.
For this, I took some pretty heavy influence from "The Hoff" after some googling about.
Alan
