sorry to divert th thread with that comment.
Codex: Mechanicus was something i've been planning for a long time, and with the rules-savvy community here on Terra i could finally start. It's basically all on paper right now.

any squat-influenced stuff in there like mole mortars, conversion beamers, graviton guns, thudd guns, tarantulas, rapiers? all typical servitor-manned imperial stuff. and id love to see 4th edition rules for the insane graviton gun and conversion beamers!

Torquemada Coteaz · 11-22-2006

tarantulas like the 4legged gun platforms from FW, or different ones?

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 11-22-2006

thats techinically what they are, though theyve changed in appearance. though the gist is: 2 twin linked heavy bolters (at least using 2nd edition rules)

Torquemada Coteaz · 11-23-2006

hmm, squats had cool things in epic.
what squat-engines were there? like big tanks and stuff?

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 11-23-2006

no walkers
the biggest thing they had was the land train which sould (iirc) have unlimitd carriages, each with a diff weapon.
they had a gigantic quad artillery platform (immobile)
airships (cheesy by todays standards)
giant helicopter/airplane thing (i thought the model for this was very nice)

Torquemada Coteaz · 11-23-2006

hmmm I thought they had giant boxy capitol-imperialis like things. (giant box, perhaps multi-leveled, and with a giant cannon mounted on the front/nose)
EDIT: or is that the land train?

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 11-23-2006

actually youre right! i forgot about that. it was on the cover of their boxed set also, yes
