From Bolter and Chainsword:

I asked them in the comments about the doctrines - will post their answer asap

As far as I understand it - the effect is for all units of your army with this special rule for the entire turn

Illuminagen is a special rule already printed in WD?

It was printed in the first batch of rules. It reduces cover saves by 1, and gives the shooting unit a re-roll to their charge roll.

Jeez that's just evil!

Can you confirm there is no HQ ?

Thank you, CWZ, I missed that

Afk for dinner, if they post more I will translate it later

So Ad-Mech will have some fun tricks in assault, using Vanguards Rad-Poisoning, and Infiltrator positioning to debuff opponents by a decent amount, but clearly they are meant to be a hell of a gun-line army.

And unlike Tau, they're a gunline with high-mobility meaning Maelstrom/Objectives are more in play.

So... Tau for a new age. :-p

No HQ

Anything on the formations yet?

Any sign yet of an army box?

I can't believe that GW dropped the price of the new mini dex

Could GW actually be.....learning?

I hope so because this is a quality release and I can't wait to field my Martian themed army of DOOM based of these rules

They'll presumably be a HQ in the full Cult Mechanicus dex. I want to see exactly what the interceptor array looks like. it sounds interesting. *edit* Wait I think it's the tank in the background, would still like to see some more pics of the onager.

I really doubt that there will be an HQ in Codex Skitarii. If there were an HQ in the codex, it would have been available in the Skitarii Maniple Detachment

He's probably talking about codex admech, not skitarii.

Yep unless otherwise specified. nominate one model that must be a "character"

wow i'm loving those rules, looks very fun to play

will fit perfectly along the Vostroyan gun-line army I'm starting (Platoon with tech-trall conscripts + Wyvern + Vanquisher + Imperial strongpoint)

so fluffy !

All this stuff is epic, but I have to question GW's sanity/internal logic on one point:

Skitarii Detachment: 2 Compulsory Troops, loads of extra (non-mandatory) slots, super easy to add a small allied group of them.

Harlequins detachment: Loads of Compulsory Slots, leading to a very restricted army for allying in

Seems to be a misprint in the dwarf, it says the codex is 33 USD ? That can't be right lol must be 49

that's because harlequins will probably soon be an elite choice in the upcoming Eldar codex, but yeah i understand your reasoning

Can;t simply ally with no HQ.

You can ally, you just can't use an Allied Detachment. Which is my whole point; to add Skitarii allies to my army, I need as little as 2 5-man infantry units and whatever else I want to add. To add Harlies in a similar way, I need 3 infantry units, jetbikes or skimmers and characters, about 400 points worth of stuff (not even getting into actual monetary cost) just to unlock anything else, or I have to use similarly restrictive formations.

It would have to be a misprint for more than just the US Its listed at ₤20 in the UK. Looking at the Grey Knights Purgation Squad, it is ₤20 in the UK and $33 in the US. So either all the prices listed for the codex are wrong, or all the prices are right
