Mezoan Forges - The Corpuscarii Priesthood

 A pic capture of the oft secretive Electro Priests of the Mezoan Order of the Brotherhood of the Divine Current, more commonly known as the Corpuscarii Order.

Mezoa is almost unique amongst the Forges of the Omnissiah in that the two divergent temples of the Motive force, whilst maintaining their separate worship and traditions, follow the teachings of the "Tacet semita fumi".

To use its lay name the "Path of the Silent Smoke" celebrates the destruction of the Omnissiahs enemies and their extinction and resulting carbon rich release using the Motive force.

This worship of the Carbon Release (or smoke) seems to link back to Mezoas Volcanic nature and the Creed of the Mezoan Cult. There have also being links drawn to some of the Practices of the Salamanders Adeptus Astartes but no verification of this link has been possible.

Some fun little conversions for my first Electro Priests using the Delaque Gang bodies, the arms and weapons from the electro priest box and some Stormcast heads. Hit it with some contrast paints and nhilak oxide and boom done.

Mezoan Forges - The Fulgurite Priesthood

Mezoan Forges - Wings of the Omnissiah

 The reach of Mezoan powers also extends beyond the hallowed surface to the upper reaches of their Fluorocarbon rich atmosphere in craft such as this revered Archaeopter.

With fully magnatised wings, weapons and door guns, along with a little Easter egg on the base relating to one of my gaming groups force the first (and likely last) flyer for my army is done.

Mezoan Forges - Alpha Pattern Secutarii!

This unidentified Skitarii Marshall from the Forge world of Mezoa has recently been observed leading the Mezoan Hoplites in support of the Knight-Titans of House Hermetika.

To see such an high ranking Skitarii officer leading the Secutarii in support of Hermetika shows the esteem and reverence in which both forces hold one another.

A simple conversion on the plastic Marshall model, swap both arms for Hoplite arms and weapons, the head uses one of the standard Hoplite heads but then is surmounted by the crest from the plastic marshall to denote the higher rank.

Mezoan Forges - Leading the Way

 Identified as Alpha-Prime Signus this warrior of Mezoa is known for taciturn leadership on the battlefield and an uncaring nature towards Mezoas more flesh based allies.

Reports suggest that Signus can often be seen throwing unaugmented allies in to battle before to soak up fire and clear potential traps before the Skitarii hordes to protect the machine-god's chosen warriors (and some suggest to provide additional raw materials for Skitarii or Servitor maniples).
Whatever the truth of this the fact is casualties amongst the Skitarii assigned to Signus are around 23.879% lower than those of other maniples.

Just a nice simple Alpha model for my skitarii. No conversions or anything special but still a good looking model to lead the army in small games.

Mezoan Forges - The Mysterious Tachypleus

This unusual looking vehicle and it’s origins is somewhat shrouded in mystery. Current Noospheric interrogation and data-link queries are all rejected and the processing cogitators are placed in to a data loop resulting in the rapid, and often thermodynamic, degradation of organic components.

Visual correlation of the pattern suggest, with a 95.38564 degree of certainty (allowing for standard servitor induced deviation) this is an Encarii pattern Tachypleus from the Aphyrion Forges. This obscure and pre-schism pattern is often used to fulfil a similar battlefield role as the Macrocarid Explorator but also offers a low enough profile to be used as regular conveyance.

This vehicles origin or ownership is subject of advanced levels of shrouding. The omicron level data baffles preventing Noospheric communion and obscuration filters that have a negative impact upon visual auspex servitors is highly unorthodox. This, when combined with the flank markings suggest that this vehicle, whilst operating under the colours of Mezoa, is actually employed under the auspices of the Ordo Mechinum. As a result of these findings all further information on this vehicle, and it’s occupants, is deemed Vermillion Level data and will no longer be parsed to the local Noospheric networks.

When fielded I use this one as a Macrocarid explorator, I’ve added the additional guns to the front represent this and make it more obvious it’s more heavily armed.

This is the last of my tanks from the mind of the great forgesmith Aphyrion (and can be found here: https://www.cgtrader.com/aphyrion )

To build this model was much more difficult than the others. Ok so it’s only like 4 parts to build which is easy but something when wrong with the print unfortunately. As you can see from the pictures below the cure warped/contracted some of the components to such a degree that I had to get the power sander out and then still fill it. That said once it’s built it is damned solid and bloody heavy - I’m a wimp and had to keep putting it down.

All that aside I Can’t recommend the models enough and it can fulfil plenty of roles in an ad mech force.

Mezoan Forges - The Stalwart Venator Mangonel

 An Okytus-Venator armed in the “Mangonel” pattern from the Aphyrion Forges advance across the rad wastes of Mezoa. The Okytus pattern is analogous with the more esoteric Onager Dunecrawler STC variants. The Okytus patterns rely on more traditional tracks for motive power compared to the intricate multi-limbed Dunecrawlers.

These venerable Okytus patterns are rare in the extreme but Mezoan forces revere and maintain them in small numbers. As a matter of honour they utilise them most commonly in service to the Knights of House Hermetika where their ancient battle spirits and stoic tracks grind forth as implacably as the Knights they accompany.

The two tanks ive shared recently are 3D prints from the mind of the great forgesmith Aphyrion (and can be found here: https://www.cgtrader.com/aphyrion )

When fielded I use them as Dunecrawlers to fit alongside the hoplites in their Dunerider equivalent Okytus transports. To build the models we’re spot on. Everything pretty much slots together with very little effort, well designed and well laid out. Can’t recommend the models enough.

Mezoan Forges- The venerable Okytus-Chactidae

 A pair of rare Okytus-Chactidae pattern Conveyors from the Anphyrion Forges advance across the rad wastes of Mezoa. The Okytus pattern is analogous with the more common Dunerider Skorpius STC variants. The Okytus relies on more traditional tracks for motive power compared to the troublesome repulsor technology of the Duneriders.

The venerable Okytus-Chactidae is most commonly seen in service along side the Knights of House Hermetika carrying their Mezoan Skitarii support clades in to battle.

These two tanks are 3D prints from the mind of the great forgesmith Anphyrion (and can be found here: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/miniatures/vehicles/okytus-conveyor )
When fielded I use them as Dunecrawlers so to add the additional fire power I added a couple of armigers pintle weapons from @taromodelmaker (here: https://www.taromodelmaker.com/ )

Mezoan Raiders - Serberys Raiders and Sulphurhounds

 To be promoted from the Skitarii maniples to the Serberys corps is a great honour. They ride swift quadrupedal constructs whose razor-clawed limbs allow them to manoeuvre easily over the most shattered terrain, while their riders are mag-locked in gyro-stabilised positions.

Serberys Raiders are long-range scouts and outriders. They excel at outflanking enemy forces and picking off unprotected assets. Advanced ocular arrays implanted into the riders’ skulls are noospherically linked with their mounts, ensuring maximum accuracy, while finely calibrated olfactory sensors and a suite of sensitive augury equipment make them dogged and feared trackers.

The incandescent flash of phosphor and the stench of charred flesh surround Serberys Sulphurhounds. Appointed from some of the most aggressive Skitarii clades, within their forge world’s temples they patrol lumen-lit enclosures as fell guardians, while on the battlefield, they are shock line breakers. Once released by their Tech-Priest masters they smash into, then through, defensive positions before circling back for any survivors.

Mezoa on wings - Petraxii Reinforcements

 One of many specialised castes of cyborg warriors available to the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Pteraxii are optimised for instinctive reaction and agility. Pteraxii’s reflexes are accentuated by paring back elements of cogitation that impede their primary function. Implanted with additional limbstumps – scapuli superior – on their back, a flight pack of thrusters and reactive life surfaces is connected to them. The flight packs become part of the Pteraxii, who serve in several roles.
