Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Adeptus Mechanicus (section)

==== Hereteking It Up ====

<tab name = "Overview">
Every techpriest makes ''compromises'' with their given situation. You're no different, you think a gun or a bit looks a little ''weak'', you find some aspect ''lacking'', you need your army to have a bit more ''something'' to it. Do not worry, for the Omnissiah has planted some wonderful gifts within some dusty tomb upon some backwater planet.

Simply put, kitbashing Necron bits onto your dudes is significantly easier than you imagine. Despite being completely new to the hobby, I managed to add a bunch more charm and stuff to my dudes. All the while remaining completely budget. In this section I'll cover how you can use these ''STCs'' to your advantage.

<tab name = "Skitarii">
*Special Weapon spam is very common with Skiitari, issue is that only one of each type is given. Necron players tend to have a lot of extra guns lying around. As such lets just use theirs!
**For plasma the Deathmark guns work the best in my opinion. While over sized, the sleek design combined with the cooler look makes them the best candidate for a Assault weapon. Clip off the arm resting the weapon at the hand, while it may be a bit skuffed, it will fit seamlessly with any mechanicus arm you have. Cut off the hand holding the gun under. Then just glue the sucker on!
**For Arc Rifles we use the Tesla Carbine. Once again the size might be an issue but the look is ''blessed'', very similar process. Go ham.
**The Super Sniper Rifle is trouble. Haven't done this myself but a gauss flayer might work.

<tab name = "Kataphrons">
Kataphrons can bring some pretty eh responses from people, whether it be the treads, heads, or the things that make xenos deads. There are things to improve upon it.
*The Treads are the hardest part to change. A destroyer base could be used but i found the process to be rough. A heavy destroyer might work but then it all starts to be expensive. At this point your on you own. May the Machine God be with you!
*Kataphron heads have been described as "too Fleshy" by many friends of mine. As such one can use the Death Mark or Destroyer heads instead. They're completely metal, fit better than you'd expect, and also are hilariously heretekal and will manage to piss off both your local Necron player and every Imperium nerd around you.
*The killy bits are meh, the only main gun I have issues with are the Arc Rifle. Meanwhile the side guns for the Destroyers look... weak. For the Arc rifle a Tesla Cannon or Gauss weapon could work. For the Destroyer side guns a Gauss Blaster looks '''MUCH''' better. 
*If the model itself doesn't jive with your machine spirit, you could always go for Myrmidon Destructors and then start gluing Necron bits to it. Though this might be more costly.

<tab name = "Knights.">
Imperial Knights are a very thematic and useful ally for us, especially with our desperate need for durability...
Lets tek 'em up! (Specifically armigers, you'll need special kits for the big bois...)
*Name of the game is canoptek, specifically canoptek spiders. Get the backs and glue those on, the face is nice, the legs are eh, and the guns are perfect! Look up Canoptek Knights for examples.

<tab name = "Misc.">
**Gauss weapons can be deconstructed to grab the pylon looking bits in them. They make good props and can fit onto more then you can imagine, them make good backpacks.
**Necron torsos, chest plates, etc. Are good terrain pieces, they can also be used to additionally fortify Kataphrons.
**See those Flayed Ones? Now look at those Rust-walkers, go ham.
**The C'tan Void Dragon's wings could be placed upon a Dominus. Praise the Wings of the Machine God!
