"When the Titan Legions go to war they bring with them death and destruction on an unimaginable scale, obliterating fortifications and columns of tanks in the blink of an eye. But while these towering God Engines are duking it out with their opposite numbers, they remain uniquely vulnerable to being mobbed by infantry, especially those equipped to exploit their unique weaknesses.
This is where the Secutarii step in – honour guard and protectors of the Titan Legions, led by a Secutarii Axiarch. These individuals are selected through a series of arcane criteria that require them to have both displayed impressive battlefield acumen and to have been involved in the defence or retrieval of a God Engine."
Yeah, these are your frontline commanders for the Secutarii and will be there helping to keep your beloved Titans safe. There's also an interesting tidbit of lore that has been dropped on us:
"Their upgraded bodies are then fitted with Titanshard armor, nigh-impervious plate that has been crafted from the fallen Titan the Secutarii saved."
Okay, talk about the holiest of holy things if you're Mechanicum, right? You get to wear a part of a Titan you helped recover! And just look at how amazing that model comes off. The rules for the Axiarch are already in Liber Mechanicum - Forces of the Omnissiah and the model itself will be coming out in Forge World resin. What do you guys think of this model?
Man, this is a sweet model, and I'm so glad it came out just after I converted a shield and lance Axiarch... Maybe I can convert this one to have different wargear though?
