Just after BOYL 2017, I posted this thread in general discussions. With the intention of getting this moving again, I'm restarting it here.

Rival Mechanicus factions will meet in a trial-by-combat to decide whose interpretation of the STC is correct. Influenced by the board game Robo Rally, there will be conveyor belts, bottomless shafts, laser beams, enormous rotating saw blades, etc. etc. with a skirmish game taking place on top.
Each faction can capture consoles to take control of a section of the factory, or some of the 'house' robots, with the ultimate goal being to get control of the central console and upload your version of the STC.
I'm aiming for about 6 players with a faction of ten each. An options list will be published in due course, but if you are looking to get building, each faction will consist of something like:
- 1 Tech-priest leader
- 1 Robot
- 1 Specialist (space marine, heavy weapon, arco-flagellant etc)
- 5 Followers
- 2 Servitors - mainly to operate machinery, very limited combat ability
Don't worry about Oldhammer purity. Obviously classic tech-priests are welcome, but I'm planning a mish-mash of robed cultists, barbarians converted to servitors with cyborg bits, Ramshackle Games's robed gangers, new GW Skitarii, 2nd edition Warzone plastics, etc. etc. Let your imagination go. Even better if you can give them a specific theme or unusual colour scheme.
I'm aiming to have 2 or 3 factions available to play with for those that don't want to bring their own.
