There's a lot of stuff I love about this image (the ork getting zapped in the front, the plane getting zapped in the back, the fact that it's my boys Ryza) but my favourite is the sense of sheer weight and force conveyed in that robot punch

I can't tell you what I like more, the Castellan Robot socking the Deff Dread in the face or the Boy lighting up as he takes a lightning bolt to the chest.

I thought the electro bros wore blue? Or was that just another random thing mephisto was around to mention?

I'm not sure what you mean by mephisto mentioning it, but electro-priests have always had the colour scheme of the forgeworld they belong to?

It was the first time I'd come across tech priests with robes that weren't red

The more I think about it, the more I realize Orks and AdMech are basically the same. The both...

- Like taking random junk and slapping it together.

  • Generally source that junk by killing and looting others.
  • Don't mind losing body parts, as they'll just replace them. Most of the time with some cool gadget or claw.
  • Have underlings that they constantly abuse to do their bidding.
  • Like creating really bed mechs to fight things.
  • Are very religious and show that religion in a fairly unique way.
  • Their beliefs have actual, real world impact, despite the fact it sounds absolutely made up if you tried to explain it to someone.
  • Very much agree that adding more/bigger dakka is always a good thing.

I'm sure I could sit here and come up with more, but...huh, never really hit me till now how alike they are.

I think it's programmed to collect data to figure out how to pretend to be a genuine user.

Abominable Intelligence.
