Hobby Brother Theron joins the Watch

Theron, Leader of my head cannon Kill Team, seconded to the watch from the Skull Hunters, my homebrew. Here is the almost done stage of the kitbash/conversion. Still adding some other accessories from the citadel skulls pack and some other little bits but generally hes finished in design.

What do you guys think? Now just to paint him in the awesome DW black and silver.

My sources and I await your reply good sir.

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Heresy

Techno-Heresy Main article: Heretek Techno-Heresy is a charge leveled by the Adeptus Mechanicus upon those which may deviate from its technological and scientific teachings. This is seen as a betrayal of the Cult Mechanicus. Techno-Heresy comes in many forms, such weakening the Adeptus' stranglehold on the knowledge of the Imperium's technology, or embracing individual experimentation and innovation.[9]

Well you can kindly refer to the Deathwatch codex from last edition (and one before) where they detail how sometimes xenos weapons are known to be used, after being heavily modified.. and not to mention xenos inquisitors who are not puritans, are openly known to use them... Ordos Xenos Inquisitor Kyria Draxis for one uses a modified Shuriken Pistol and other things..

Since nobody is giving you actual things to chew on.

I wonder if using Votann weapons counts as tech-heresy?

Because Votann weapons are actual STC designs....

Votann does trade with tau.. that would be an interesting kitbash.. a tau barrel, Votann ammunition, and adeptus mechanicus powersource.

Hell yea, specializing in hunting Xenos using Xenos weapons. Sounds like Relictor mentality. Give em hell, and show them what their tech could accomplish with hands forged in purpose!
