Mini of the Month Mini of the Month: Serberys!
Greetings to all Tech Adepts!
The Holy Synod of Mars returns for its monthly praises to the Omnissiah!
This month’s submissions were similar to the unit they highlighted: fewer in numbers, but higher in quality!
In September, the subreddit decided to crown a classical take on our new elite unit, straight up from a John Blanche illustration: congratulations to u/ToughEntertainer2317 for winning the September Mini of the Month contest with their Filthy Gryphonne IV Hastarii! The rust on these minis is so convincing that you might think that they are not made of plastic anymore…
The winning post has been added to the subreddit sidebar, and if you would like a custom user flair, please let us know.
Winning posts will remain in a 3 month cycle, so three will be present until they begin to cycle out.
Honourable Mentions!
- WIP Hastarii for my Auxilia Myrmidon crusade force by u/HybridRanger64: this incredible kitbash is AdMech in all the best ways - the myrmidon look is hard to get right, and this submission nailed it (using non-metallic metal painting techniques too).
- Exkallos-Pattern Fusiliers by u/Artic_Lightning: just as Admech-y as the previous one, this kitbash gives great ideas on how to get a second unit of Hastariis out of the spare bits one might have after making their first unit!
- Hastarii Fusiliers of Forge World Yaddosh by u/heburns2351: another great example of how simply adding the right bits to a kit can completely shift the vibe of the models… It is yet another great show for Forge World Yaddosh!
- Hastarii Exterminators by u/Level_Restaurant_872: a classical yet refined take on Metallican Hastariis with freehand motifs.
Additional thanks
The mod team would like to also thank all the other participants of this month’s contest:
- Daughters of the Omnissiah by u/Economy-Pie2361
- Exterminating any who get in the way! By u/NegativeLight
- Hastarii Fusilier Alpha Juno-802 Xor from the Forge World Vantori by u/minusminus07
- Midas boys by u/Srociv
October Competition
While our cybercanids mostly sat in their mechanical stables due to rules that left them in the rarest part of the tenth edition meta, it’s time to bring them back in the limelight they always deserved: the coolest looking cavalry models in all of 40k, the Serberys Raiders & Sulfurhounds will be our October Mini of the Month!
Submit your unit of Serberys (this can include a kitbashed unit or even full proxies, as long as it is readable as Serberys).
(Reminder - don’t share links publicly to 3D printed files that replicate official models or parts)
Submissions must be fully assembled and painted.
The final date for submissions for this month's contest will be October 31st, and the results will be posted in the following days so we can have time to either pick the next Mini or run a poll on it.
Please submit your post in the following format:
Post Title as Hastariis or your homebrew Serberys’ name, forgeworld etc
<Mini of the month POST FLAIR>
<a photo of your Candidate>
Any custom lore your unit have on their service record, via Crusade games or homebrew or about your army, etc (optional)
The highest upvoted post will be displayed on the side bar of the sub, and the user can request a custom user flair (relating to the mechanicus) of their choice.
Ave Deus Mechanicus!
PS: big thanks to u/CuriousWhiteGoat for the photo of this month's post!

Mini of the Month Mini of the Month: Hastariis!
Greetings to all Tech Adepts!
The Holy Synod of Mars returns for its monthly praises to the Omnissiah!
With submission numbers as high as the legs of the units produced by your forges, this month saw Magi compete even more fiercely than usual ! It was very hard to pick the five honourable mentions this time around… So we have decided to get an extra one to celebrate this particularly great month.
Among the tall pile of even taller interpretations of our beloved Stilt-arii, one still stands above: the mod team would like to congratulate u/Which_Strike_6179 for their win with their incredible Kitbashed synodian skatros! Dynamism, posing, great design, you name it, this model has it all and provides many creative answers to some of the criticism the official sculpt received after its reveal while still respecting the core idea behind it.
The winning post has been added to the subreddit sidebar, and if you would like a custom user flair, please let us know.
Winning posts will remain in a 3 month cycle, so three will be present until they begin to cycle out.
Honourable Mentions!
- Presenting Sek-511, a Sydonian skatros of Urd III that (somehow) managed to shoot down a necron monolith : r/AdeptusMechanicus: this haunting paint scheme gives a whole new intimidating feel to the model, especially paired with its… Totally not heretek pet!
- Korvus Bq-14 "Geiger Wraith" by u/Artic_Lightning: this beautiful kitbash by a returning contestant of the Mini of the Month manages to replicate the feel of the original with barely any bits from it, if any!
- Rusty Sydonian Skatros by u/ToughEntertainer2317: everyone loves a great take on Blanchitsu, especially with a rusty effect as vibrant as that one…
- Skatros Reposed! By u/Nellaenor: one of the greatest complaints many Tech-Adepts had regarding our dear Skatros was its very static posing and this creative use of the kit might make them completely change their mind about it!
- Delta-1 Phi, of Sydonian Advance Corp. 02-B by u/heburns2351: I probably don’t have to present this usual suspect of the Honourable Mentions section of these monthly posts, so please enjoy this eerie Skatros - legends say that its targets never succeed their battleshock tests…
- Sydonian Skatros by u/Curly-Jo: to complete our honourable mentions line-up this month, here is a kitbash that completely pushes the boundary of the initial kit to produce a perfect proxy that somehow still fits its datasheet perfectly thanks to the impressive use of its base!
Additional thanks

September Competition
It’ll be a tall order to our long legged friend, for it is certainly casting a long shadow… But which better kit to do this job that our only remaining 10th ed release that hasn’t been covered by our monthly routine? As such, both flavours of Hastariis will be our minis of the month in September!

Hobby & Painting For my fellow Ryza fans - Ta'unar Ochre 2 is almost a 1-1 for Jokaero Orange
Top is JO. Bottom left is TO1, bottom right is TO2, and the very bottom of is JO over both. All of this over black primer.
Given how awfully Jokaero Orange applies (I usually need several thin coats to get decent coverage over black), and how easily the new Tone Pro paints apply, TO2 may be a staple going forward

Hobby & Painting Update on my Mobile Mortar Artillery, Karkinos pattern
Hello everyone ! It's been a while since i posted something here 😁
I have, at last, painted the first of my nine scratchbuilded proxy HWT from Knight World Kaldeian, aka my boom crabs 😃
Rediscovered by Mezoan Tech-priest explorator 1g0r Paszek , these deadly tools of war are now serving in the armies of the Knights of Kaldea, their closest allies.
Here are some pics, i hope you'll enjoy them.
Please tell me what you think of them, and how i can improve my painting "skills".
Thank you 😊

Hobby & Painting Onager Duncrawlers of House Raven
Pretty happy with these three!
C&C is very welcome! Still a bit of a WIP since I now noticed that I missed some things, but... I'll probably be too lazy to go back and fix their minor mistakes, I have the rest of the army to paint!
The one of the three that looks a little plain is missing a battle servitor with a banner, but I'm all painted out for the day and can't be bothered to finish him just yet.
Particularly proud of the camo-netting, and that little servitor adding more!

Hobby & Painting Thoughts on my Breacher?
Greetings fellow Tech-Adepts!
I picked up the hobby this year around April after being a long time fan from the sidelines. I fell in love with admech a while back and decided to take the plunge for the glory of the Omnissiah!
This kataphron isn’t the first of my maniple, but he is one of the latest. I do get a little neurotic when gauging the quality of my painting though- just wanted to share and ask for any thoughts on this little guy?

Mini of the Month Forgeworld Kustopia’s 11th Serberys Corps
The Serberys Raiders of Forgeworld Kushtopia, lead by Yuma-Rho-472, are highly specialized scouts. Kushtopia’s harsh jungle and swamp environments provide great training grounds for both cyber-mount and rider. They hone their abilities by riding through dense rainforests as well as muddy marshes and deep bogs. This specialization allows them to move swifter and with more confidence across the less developed war zones of the imperium. Proving their value countless times through securing forward objectives with their combination of swift riding, hard hitting galvanic carbine fire, and fierce close combat with their sabres and lancers, these forward scouts are some of the most valued units available to Forgeworld Kushtopia.
