Forgeworld Releases: Ordinatus Sagitar

Howdy Guys and Girls!

Today up on pre-order from Forgeworld - The Ordinatus Sagitar!



The Mechanicum Ordinatus Sagittar is a massively destructive war engine, as rare as it is potent. Similar in design to the Ordinatus Ulator, the Sagittar differs in its primary weapon being a Volcano Cannon of prodigious power.

In the time of the Great Crusade the Ordinatus macro engines were rarer than even the Battle Titans of the Legio Titanica, and only a handful of Forge Worlds had the resources or indeed the doctrinal blessing and religious authority to produce or maintain such embodiments of the Omnissiah’s divine wrath. Such was the sacredness of these machines above all others, that an entire subcult of the Mechanicum was devoted to their worship and propitiation.

The Ordinatus Sagittar carries a trio of Volkite Culverins as its secondary armaments, whilst its primary weapon is a Belicosa pattern Volcano Cannon, more often carried by Warlord class Battle Titans. An ancient pattern of weapon whose destructive power is comparable to many shipboard cannon and planetary defence lasers, few mobile weapons platforms are capable of mounting the Belicosa simply due to its savage power requirements. When engulfed in the cannon’s cohesive light, the strongest fortress walls may be reduced to glowing embers and the most resilient armour to molten slag and vapour.

The Mechanicum Ordinatus Sagittar is a Lords of War choice for Mechanicum armies in Horus Heresy games. It can also be taken as a Lords of War Choice by Adeptus Mechanicus: Cult Mechanicus and Skitarii armies in games of Warhammer 40,000 using the rules found in The Horus Heresy: Mechanicum – Taghmata Army List.


Really cool - I like him more than the first one to be honest!

Also, little sad news - some FW stuff is sold out, including most of the Mark IV dreadnoughts. I managed to snap a MkIV Raven Guard one atleast ...

What do you think about the newest Mechanicum engine? Write us in the comments below!

  1. I'm more vamped out about the new mechanic FW & GW are investing now ... only a matter of time before the rest of armies get even more trimming :c

  2. I prefer my sonic gun one. Even if some people think it looks like an intimate toy. Will probably get one at some point.

    Shame FW are ditching more models. I suspect the demand was getting lower. Support for orks in particular is pretty poor now (except looted vehicles).

    1. ;) :P

      Yep, I never owned the Ork IA and really hope they re-do that one with an updated Dread Mob army list - but I have a bad feeling. Sad since they were really enthusiastic with that one, and even wanted to do a second one with the other clans (Snakebites/Feral Orks ftw ...).

    2. It's a good book. The Elysian and raven guard was a nice touch. At least they did death skulls.

    3. Yeah, let's say I have access to it, but I would like to have it here, and have an update to all the rules :)

  3. Just noticed that the MK IV dreads were going out the other day. Disappointed the ironclad mkiv is gone... Really wanted some for my iron hands... Here's hoping GW picks them up and makes them in plastic. LOVE THE NEW ORDINATUS!!!

  4. So it seems that the pitiful remnants of the Traitor Legions in 40K are now stuck with their remaining Contemptors. Is this part of a plan to whittle down the true scions of Chaos and replace them with crazed renegades with no martial tradition? As a longtime Alpha Legion player, I'm sad about the Dread going away. Its rules in IA 13 were pretty nifty, and I'm glad I purchased a Sonic Dreadnought last year.

  5. So much for getting bombs and missile launchers for my lightning. Sad panda.

    1. I suspect the will get redone in the new style. The current one need to be converted to mate with the Lightning and avenger.

    2. I used the missile launchers on my lightning and it worked pretty good tbh

    3. I wished that the Autocannon set had an ammo drum on each side. One on the right, b ingre on the left. They look lopsided having 6 all in the same side

    1. Oh yes. Noticed it earlier. A great looking engine. Hope to see it on TOC in time :)

    2. Not only that, but it in an adeptus titanicus game too. That's gonna be stunning.
      There's a few bunnies who need to get their fingers out and submit their Titans aren't there ;). They know who they are!

    3. Need to scan my certificates first!

  7. I prefer this Ordinatus over the first. Won't be rushing out to get one, but maybe one day.

  9. That does look damn fine! Think the paint job is great too. Still think the other pips it slightly in aesthetics.
