MECHANICUM URSARAX

The Ursarax were developed as a heavy, rapid-moving close combat unit. Using a fusion of existing technologies sacred to the Mechanicum, they are formidable, even monstrous, killing engines.

Like the Thallax, Ursarax are thralls rather than servitors. Selected from suitable human candidates for conversion, their living components retain a consciousness and dim recollection of their former humanity, providing them with superior tactical abilities and the instincts to kill. Each Ursarax’s frame is outfitted with a powerful, chest mounted Volkite Incinerator - a weapon deadly at range, but decidedly lethal in close combat – and pairs of armour crushing power fists or flesh shredding lightning claws.

This kit includes three complete Ursarax models, each of which can be equipped with power fists or lightning claws.

Rules for using Ursarax Cohorts in Mechanicum armies in Horus Heresy games can be found in The Horus Heresy: Mechanicum – Taghmata Army List.

This is a multi-part resin kit that builds three complete models. Three 40mm round bases are included.

Lore of the Votann – Ancient Quasi-divine Machine Intellects Make for Decent Gunsmiths, it Turns Out

Источник
The Leagues of Votann are still a few months out from making first tabletop contact with the rest of the 41st Millennium, but after learning about the Ancestor Cores and the cloneskeins, we’re all agog for the main course – the guns.

As with more or less everything else in the Leagues, the collected technological knowledge of the Kin is contained within the Votann. These ancient minds are vast repositories of weapon schematics that would have just about every member of the Adeptus Mechanicus weighing up the merits of becoming a heretek. The Kin, you see, are sitting on a closely guarded network of functioning STCs – a fact reflected across their entire armoury.

An armoury which, mark you, they are perfectly permitted to improve over time. The Kin may move slowly, but they’re not stuck in technological stasis like some factions we could mention. Their engineers – called Brôkhyrs – command the auto-foundries of each Kin hold from their personal A.N-vyl terminals. But what are they forging?

From the Autoch-pattern bolter to the Etacarn plasma gun, many Kin weapons bear superficial similarities to Imperial weapons, but they’re superior in every respect. There’s a clear shared ancestry between the bolt revolver and bolt shotgun and the bolt weapons of the Adeptus Astartes, but Kin weapons simply work better and hit harder. 

Then there are items like the volkanite disintegrators, which use technology since lost to the Imperium, or ion technology, which is proscribed by the Adeptus Mechanicus. That’s their loss – the T’au Empire certainly seemed to appreciate being taught how to harness it…

All these weapons are supported by smart tech integrated into Kin battlegear. The haptic utility nerve transmission recalibrator modules – HunTR for short – interface with their neural augmetics to establish a feedback loop between firearms and their users. This system projects minute gravitational pulses to maintain a stable firing platform even while running at full pelt – or zooming along on a flying trike.

Российский пользователь Reddit под ником Megolet создал корпус для PC в виде сверхтяжелого танка Stormblade из Warhammer 40k.

Megolet снарядил Stormblade плазменной пушкой, вместо вулканической, а в остальном танк похож на оригинал. Вес машины составил 25 килограмм, а на ее сборку ушло 5 месяцев и 300 часов. 

Для теста энтузиаст поместил в Stormblade материнскую плату EATX с процессором Intel i9 и видеокартой NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060. Автор отметил, что это его первая сборка PC-корпуса.
