Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, Tindalos Interactive's real-time strategy game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, opens its multiplayer beta today. All players who preorder the game on Steam or the official store can immediately join this beta, practice building their first fleets and test their worth as Admiral against other players or the AI!
In addition to the 10% discount offered during the pre-order period, Early Adopters of Battlefleet Gothic Armada will receive one extra faction for free - the Space Marines - and immediate access to the Multiplayer Beta of the game. From today, players can practice building their Imperium and Chaos fleets and get used to the gameplay mechanics in the solo campaign prologue, before testing their skills against the AI or players online in 1v1 skirmishes. The remaining factions (Orks and Eldar), as well as the full solo campaign and other multiplayer modes (like 2vs2) will be made available when the game launches later in March. The Space Marines fleet will be available to play a few weeks after the game launches.
Today’s Overview Trailer shows off what you can expect from the full version of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada when it releases later in March. Discover the branching story campaign, in-depth customization and tactical gameplay!
Made in Unreal Engine 4, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada offers deep management of every ship in your fleet, during and between battles. With different skills and abilities, you can customize all aspects of your ships. Whether it’s crew for weaponry or repairs, or new skills such as the augur probe and micro-warp jump, you’ll be able to add more as each ship gains experience.
Multiplayer battles are all about positioning and flanking your enemy. Carefully align your path with your target, launching a devastating salvo of torpedoes before violently ramming them for incredible destructive force. Alternatively, you may choose to slide close enough to expose your broadside cannons and unleash a barrage of heavy fire… every action has weight and inertia, so mistakes will rarely be left unpunished by your opponent.
Players can now pre-order the Early Adopters Edition of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada for 10% off on Steam and the official store. Early Adopters will receive the Space Marines Fleet DLC for free, along with immediate access to the Multiplayer Beta. This offer is available for players who preorder or buy the game within 2 months after release.

Beyond Brilliant! Dark Mechanicus!
Another master class tournament is upon me, this time it’s Arena 2k10 in Krakow,
on the other side of Poland. Every year Arena is a blast, and this year
it’s organised in the same venue as the last year, which is a great
improvement over the previous venues. We go there by train and by we I
mean our gaming group plus some spouses – 16 people in total. The
journey itself is always an entertainment, as we take a plethora of
boardgames as well as proper beverages to ease the 11-hour ride.
I am faithul to my Adeptus Mechanicus army, but due to the fact that Arena 2k10 is with a 2100 points limit, I shivered when I counted the tanks I’d need to take if I were to use the imperial Guard rules. In a 1300 points list I run 9 vehicles, and as they and my infantry are resin and metal only, my army case weighs 14kgs!
For Arena my initial list had no less than 14 vehicles, most full of infantry. Space in my army case ran low.
So I ditched this idea and chose to go with my Dark Mechanicus army – using Codex: Chaos Space Marines rules. The problem was, I needed Land Raiders.
So over the last 5 days I built and painted them. Or their wicked vision.
Now, I admit they are not pretty in a traditional sense, but I kinda like them. Plus my Daemon Prince counts-as will finally be able to hide behind something (he’s the Technomagos in the glass jar).
Above are my Land Stalkers with their Electropriests (Berzerkers) cargo.
Below are the Stalkers (Rhinos) with Protectors Maniples (Plague Marines):
Here are the HQ: Technomagos (Lord), Arcomagos (Daemon Prince, in tank) and Praetor (Greater Daemon, the one with the most limbs):
I call them Robin, Barry and Maurice.

The Adeptus Mechanicus Project
Hi there,
Congratulations! you have found the temporary home of the Adeptus Mechanicus project. This is where I will be posting updates on the progress of what I hope will be a 2000pt Adeptus Mechanicus army (using Codex: IG).
Current status (18th October): In case anyone is wondering why there have been no updates, I am finishing off Uni for the semester and am up to my neck in assignments (all of which I should have done earlier). Project will go full steam ahead as soon as I deal with real-life.
MISSION STATEMENT
To create a fully playable Adpetus Mechanicus army, incorporating as many of their goodies as I possible can. I want to have 1750pts ready for my local tournament in June 2006 (G'Con Lismore Australia).
I estimate the army to be about 1% complete at this stage.
Current progress
1 Sergent
4 troopers
1 Plasma gunner
1 Techpriest Enginseer
1 proto-type Praetorian
1/2 finsihed Heavy Weapon platfrom
1/2 finished jetbike
Lascannons and Autocannons teams will be mounted on small tracked platforms, Heavy bolters teams will be modelled as servitors (with the second man in the team being a little cherub type thing humping ammo on its back).
Two basilisks will be included in the finished army. I have considered a few ways to 'tech them up'. The first possibility is to order FWs Armageddon pattern Basilisk, costly, but looks very nice. However to make a more original model I think I will modify the standard kit myself. The crew will be replaced by servitors, and a loading servo arm will be mounted onto the hull.
Banks of computer screens from the Land Raider interior will also be added.
A few extra cables here and there, and some AM symbols painted on and they should look the part.
ARMY LIST
I will post a link to a WIP army list soon.
The Tech Magos and his bodyguard will be represented using the rules for a DH Inquisitor Lord.
Thoughts on Doctrines:
Update: The list I was previously pretty sure about is starting to bore me, so I was thinking of trying motorised organisation. Nice and fluffy.
Abhuman doctrines: A recent WD contained Chapter approved rules for abhumans. One of these doctrines (slave levy) grants models the 'feel no pain' special rule, at the cost that they become 'slow and purposeful'. Sounds pperfect for Ad mech troopers in my opinion. The 4+ chance of getting up nicely represents hits deflecting of bionics ect. And slow and purposeful fits my idea of the lumbering but unstoppable onslaught of the Skitarii.
In my current list I have not used doctrines. This may strike people as a strange choice, but after considering all the options I decided there was nothing I really wanted badly enough.
Carapace armour and bionics, whilst fluffy for AM, add a fair bit to the squad cost. I am a big believer in weight of numbers when it comes to IG, so I would rather take more troops than the 4+ Save, which can negated by many weapons.
Mechanised and Grenadier formations are both options I considered, however once again point costs drove me away. The main use of a mechanised list is for 'drive-by' type tactics, where the troops rarely dismount. I figure that Im putting so much effort into converting the troopers, I want them on the table all the time. Footslogging AM may strike some people as strange, but this is likely to be a army primed for defense and shooting, so lack of mobility is regrettable but not critical.
Please feel free to post suggestions, or shots of your own Mechanicus conversions, and to discuss all modelling aspects of this most high and mysterious order.

These three new model kits are complete kits that use some of the sprues from the new GW Plastic Baneblade kit along with additional new resin components replacing the upper hulls, main weapon, engine deck and fighting compartment. These fantastic new super heavy tanks were designed by Daren Parrwood, and make fine additions to any collection whether you`re after the titan-killing firepower of the Shadowsword for your Apocalypse force or just after cool modelling project to test your skills on. These new super-heavies are available either individually or as part of special bundle deals of three to bring terror to your foes! You can find more details of our bundle deals here, and if you order the deal you’ll get free express shipping worldwide.
Here you can see pictures of the Shadowsword, Stormblade and Stormsword painted by the talented Phil Stutchinskas. You`ll be able to see further examples of Phil`s work along with a feature on how he achieved these stunning paint jobs, together with other Forge World projects from our Studio team in our forthcoming painting and modelling book, but more details on that in future newsletters!

New for Aeronautica Imperialis
We also have three new releases for the Tau AI range this Newsletter in the shape of the AX-2-2 Tiger shark Drone Carrier, the Remora Stealth Drones and Aerial Mines, which you can see pictures of here.

Imperial Macharius 'Vulcan' Bronze at Hussar 2011
Bronze at Hussar 2011 in Large Model Category
Painted by: Yaroslav Bozhdynsky
Contest Miniature, Masters Level, TMP
The Macharius is a Heavy Tank used by the Imperial Guard.
The Macharius is one of a variety of super heavy tanks referred to as 'second generation' Baneblades. Built by forge worlds that do not possess the STC data to build Baneblades, the Macharius (named after the legendary Lord Commander Solar Macharius), fulfills the same battlefield role as the Baneblade, but lacks most of its advanced features, engine performance and armor bracing. First developed by Magos Nalax of Forge World Lucius, there are also variants of the Macharius with various weapon systems that replace the tank's twin battle cannons.
There are several modifications:
Macharius with Battle Cannons - is armed with twin-linked Battle Cannons in the main turret. It is destructive against armored targets and infantry at long range.
Macharius with Vanquisher Cannons - is armed with twin-linked Vanquisher Cannons in the main turret. It is destructive against armored targets at long range.
One of Magos Nalax's Macharius variants replaces the battle cannons with powerful Vanquisher Cannons. These weapons, although harder to manufacture and never available in great numbers, fire a very high velocity anti-tank shell that can penetrate the thickest armor with devastating results. The addition of these weapons turns the standard Macharius into a deadly tank killer.
Macharius with Vulcan Mega-bolter - is armed with a Vulcan Mega-Bolter, a super weapon of Titans. It is destructive against groups of lightly armored targets at close range (light vehicles, infantry etc.)
The 'Vulkan' variant of the Macharius mounts the fearsome Vulcan mega-bolters, a weapon normally carried by Titans. This multiple-barrelled gatling autocannon fires thousands of rounds per minute in a destructive torrent, turning the standard Macharius into a highly effective anti-personnel weapon, although because of its size, ammunition is restricted.
