Christian created his entire Technicus Army with Games Workshop products along with balsa-wood, Styrofoam, cloth, string, plastic carton, and wire.




As mentioned earlier, all of the characters fit into the technological theme of the army. With the exception of the Wizard with the Lore of Metal, all the characters are Engineers...with Hochland Long Rifles, no less!




The war balloon is the display centerpiece of the army and is the most ambitious conversion. Christian used some pieces out of his bitz box like wagon wheels, lances, banner poles, shields, choppa blades, barrels, buckets, the steam cannon turret, and more. For the balloon crew, Christian used the old Halfling command models. For more on the balloon, click here!




For his heavy cavalry, Christian based his conversions on the Empire Knightly Order boxed set (along with Reiksguard Knight Captain Kurt Helborg and a few Blood Bowl Halflings) and gave them experimental weapons to fit with the Engineer theme. One of the poor steeds has to bear a weapons platform that carries Halflings with spring-loaded spears. These Knights use the rules for the Knights of the White Wolf.




Pistoliers are a must for any Engineer army. These guys are ready right out of the blister. Christian's biggest conversion on this unit involved giving his Pistolier Marksman a repeater pistol.




Christian's Von Zeppel Steam Tank needs little explanation except to say that no trees were harmed in the making of this model.

To build on this already impressive army, Christian is planning on adding a unit of Huntsmen with light hunting rifles (rather than longbows). That project, however, will have to wait for another article.
