Codex Adeptus Mechanicus Preview: Forgeworld Metalica

The next Forgeworld for the Adeptus Mechanicus is up, giving us a preview of the 3rd of 7 Forgeworlds that are in the new codex. It will be up for pre-orders this weekend.


Seriously though, painting this army while listening to Metallica would just be classic.... OK, maybe not all that serious, but which song would go on the playlist first?

Forge World Focus: Metalica

Metalica is the army for you if you want to keep your forces mobile while maintaining a steady fusillade of firepower. Come back tomorrow when we’ll be checking out Lucius, the indomitable armoursmiths of the
