Personally, I like the new knights, I might buy it just for them, paint up the skittari for a little admech army and sell off the necrons.

I’m in the same boat as OP. Love the new Knights but might try and see if anyone is selling them on the side.

If there comes 30k rules for knights box or two. If not I have like thousands of euro\s worth of models I would like to buy with official rules to keep me busy enough to not buy models I couldn't use in any capacity outside home games.

I've been wanting Necrons and Ad Mech for quite a while now, so it's a double whammy for me!

Also, that Cryptek

I am interested in the Necron half. It's a good little starter set and I imagine will make the new crypteks dirt cheap on ebay a few weeks after release.

If I can find someone to split the Necron side with, I'll be getting at least one set.


Can't go wrong with more Skitarii and another Techpriest isn't awful since I've already got 6x Onagers and the SC doesn't really help me because of that.

I want Necrons and AdMech, but I want the Necrons more and since a friend of mine wants the AdMech (as he already has a sizable Necron Force) we're each going to buy a box and split the contents.

There are no marines. This is not the GW we know and love. I cannot support this dark path.

Tempted but overflowing with unmade stuff as it is

I put 'no', but it just depends on when/how I decide to add some allies to my Chaos Renegades.

I like the idea of the small Armigers, and if this is some kind of stellar deal, I may pick up a box and shift everything else just to set them aside.

I'd be interested in 2 boxes. And if I do I'm pretty sure that I'm just going to sell off 2 of the armigers.

Why are they releasing another starter kit? 9th in the pipe already?

Or its like any number of sets that came out during 7th.

Already found a friend who wants the AdMech half to split it with.

If it's priced like BoC or AoP or even DI, yes, I'll buy it.

Have no use for these factions, but it's good to see a box without Space Marines. In fact I think Robots vs. Robots is a really cool matchup.
That being said, I'm not really sold on the new knight, but I wasn't a fan of the old one either - and it looks like its small brother.

I play Necrons and AdMech so yes.

It's a pretty solid starter for a Necron force. Something to build on.

Im most interested because these knights are likely cheap lords of war that I can use to sneak a Falchion in a super heavy detachment in apoc battles.

You mean the Faphammer Sky Annihilation Sky Force that allowed you to smash models IRL with a ball peen? I only ever got to play that list once and then I had to go to small claims court...

No, what Victor is referring to is boxes like Stormclaw, Deathstorm, or Death Masque--3 'pseudostarters' that were available with alternate units to the main big box and just used stuff pulled off the shelves.

Death Masque was the first way to get a box of Deathwatch, I might add.

What you apparently raged over was a $300+ one-click bundle that then got all of the 'exclusivity' torn out of it a year later by a $30-$35 supplement for C: SM.

I doubt they're lords of war.

Typically they give you a workable, battle forged detachment.

1 techpriest dominus
10 skitarii
2 armiger warglaives

I would wager they're Elite.

The Necron force is HQ/Troop/Elite.

It also makes sense they'd be elite because of the nature of the supreme command detachment. So you could bring these with a knight and a few characters.

I voted maybe but i'm actually thinking i might get this and split it. Because I have an Imperial Knight, and I would love to be able to field a workable 1,000 point army with him in it.

I'm sorry, I guess my extreme GW-phobia makes me distrust pretty much everything they do when it comes to books and editions. I really should just buy models!

I just see a lot of stuff that points towards an imminent edition change and it scares me to think I'm wasting money on books when I could be buying models instead. A new box like this one usually heralds an edition change but I guess they could be releasing it for another reason..

The article says they are LOW.

Looks promising. Depends on price.

I will buy this fosho, maybe if I can team up w someone local to buy 2 and I'll keep the Admech. 4 Armigers would be badass supporting a knight acheron.

honestly I'm not sure the skitarii would get used until i have more admech tho.

the models do look really nice and hopefully this bodes well for other non-marine boxed games.

I'm looking at you sister vs Orks.

They released bunch of these in 6th and 7th ed without immediate edition change.

Now 9th ed IS coming but when is another thing. Probably not this year. Maybe next year. 2020-2022 would be fairly likely candinates.

Why? You think GW hates idea of getting more money? Periodic new edition is steady print money button as long as they don't push it too often but 3-5 years has worked for them for quite a while so no reason to think they would change it. There's expression "don't fix what ain't broken" and periodic edition changes have steadily worked for them. No reason to think they won't be doing what keeps giving them money.

8th ed 2017. 3-5 to that=2020-2022. This isn't even fastest they COULD be releasing. They have shown willingness to release within 2 years so we could be looking even next year but not quaranteed.

And with all the FAQ's, errata's and whatnot which keeps increasing number of different files you need to keep, facebook posts etc probably better to get updated rules sooner rather than later. Dread to think how many different faq's and erratas we need at the end of next year if they don't start concolidiating those.

"Maybe".

1) Depends on price.
2) Depends on if the impending necron codex is fun or not.

If the pricetag is good and if the codex is fun, I might very well start a necron army, and so I might buy a couple of boxes, assuming I have someone to split it with.

The above, exactly.

GW knows they can 'edition up' and people will buy in. And as much as I'm enjoying the actual models on the table, all evidence I see makes 8th the biggest pile of convoluted rules yet. And somehow they managed to take a few pages of rules and drop six extra books on us. Now we're scrambling for Facebook posts and testing beta rules and getting hit with half written FAQs and paying for another rulebook. Points and rules all over the place, people citing emails for rules questions.

Like, yes 8th made the game simpler, but the overhead to play went absolutely sideways.

Maybe. Depends on the price and depends if I can find a Necron player to take that half.

If I can find a person to trade with I’ll get the Admech side.

If I can’t I’ll buy it and see the necrons on Evilbay.

I want the Armigers as I have hopes for a titan force that is worth something eventually. I think a pair of knights, with 4-6 armigers wandering the table causing problems, getting objectives is the army I think would be worth playing.

How likely is it that people will buy the 'other half', because when this hits ebay will be flooded with each half.

I'm a yes on this. Depending on price I may get a couple, I've no idea what I'll do with all of the Tech Priest Dominus' though, I already have 6 from SC boxes.

 CREEEEEEEEED wrote:

I always try local first to just set up a straight swap/split, but on eBay if the price is right they all tend to go pretty quickly. Those models are likely to be a bit below going rate by nature of the bulk kit and will probably be a hot commodity for a while.

Although I have a fleeting interest with both factions I don't have the hobby time to commit to them and they would sit forever unpainted and unassembled when I already have a big enough pile.

It's a no from me.

Adding to the grey pile is the most important aspect of the hobby.

 CREEEEEEEEED wrote:

The pile of shame is big enough!

I’d like too, but I do have most of the models, just not the new knights or cryptek. If it isn’t crazy expensive, I might just buy it - but may have to wait for funds to replenish.

deffo no.

first of, im cult mech!, i do not want the pathetic skitarii wimps in my elite ad mech army(even tough 3 wound elite armys is crap in this edition).
secondly i just bought a heap of used necrons so i have all i need, i just want the codex.
lastly, i like the old cryptec sculpt that i ordered yesterday in fact, alot better.

Where are these people coming with imminent edition change nonsense lol every edition has lasted ~2yrs minimum 8th isnt going anywhere anytime soon jesus

Why edition up every 3 to 4 years when you're already producing Chapter Approved for $25 to $35? You get in all the changes you need to make to core rules without all the other disruption. New codexes will still pop up as they expand the ranges.

Latest Warhammer Community article confirmed they are LOW units.

I voted no, simply because I'm not interested in Ad Mech and I already have all Lychguard, Immortals and Wraiths I could ever use. Only thing I'd be after is the new Cryptek, but highly likely that it will only be available in the box (at least for the first few months) so I'll probably get it off eBay.

Probably no, depending on price. I have Necrons and the included units for them are actually quite decent but it'll depend on price and whether I really want to get any of the AdMech stuff, as it's not a faction I currently play. Resale value will be quite low, so maybe I'll just take advantage of the cheap Crypteks that will appear on eBay once this comes out.

Great deal, and interesting models. I'll say "maybe" if they're still selling it once I move on from the other armies I need to build and paint.

If the pricetag is good I will most definitely. I'll add the Necrons to my small existing force and then cannibalize the Ad Mech for conversions while assembling the knights.

Regarding editioning up I'd say that the Chapter Approved is their new edition format. So instead of 8th and 9th edition I think we are now seeing Warhammer 40k 2018, Warhammer 40k 2019, and so on.

Just a heads up that while the Skitarii and Dominus won't be too high on the resale value, the Knight Armigers will likely be on the high end. I'm having a hard time, locally, finding anyone to split the box with as the Necron players feel they shouldn't pay half despite their stuff coming out to $113USD before adding in the Cryptek while AdMech comes out to $75 before the Armigers.

The Armigers are something people just don't know how to price it seems. Many people think they're a huge kit while in reality it seems like they're maybe Hive Tyrant sized.

Even if the Armiger kits arrive at a more reasonable price, say $45-50 a pop (reasonable for GW at least), you can expect to flip them for $40 a pop on eBay pretty easily.

I feel this is correct. I can't decide if I should buy 2 boxes, and slowly sell the stuff, or just wait and buy Armigers on ebay for $30-$40 each. I think a lot of flippers are going to buy this and sell the parts on ebay.

If i get lucky and they over produce, Maybe the Armigers will get into the $20-$25 mark on Ebay. If that happens I'll most likely try to get to a full 6 of them.

For me, it all depends on cost, rules and options.

Personally, I’m going to wait for a couple of unboxing reviews before I decide. I like the idea of the Knights, but, if they are single pose, have no options/future options (depends on datasheet) and costed way out of normal play/semi-competitive play.

Sure, I could make use of the Skitarii bits, but, overall won’t justify the potential £100 cost just for some admech torsos.

I'm going to get it. I want the Necron half and I can ally in the other stuff with my Dark Angels.

A Hive Tyrant is a $50 kit, the Cryptek is a small character model so will be $30, so... $140 for the Necrons and $175 for the AdMech. This is assuming you're right that it'll be priced as a Tyrant, while I think it'll be $65 like the Redemptor Dread (ergo, $205 value). Either way I think your local Necron players have a point; if what you want is the Necron half then I think buying the whole box and flipping the AdMech portion on eBay is much better value than splitting it 50/50.

I think it's awesome and is another feather in New GWs cap since not actively gaking on us.

I wont be getting it but am tempted by the mini knights. I want to see where they go with the Imperial Knight book.

I have no interest in Knights, AdMech, or Necrons, so I really doubt I'll buy Forgebane.

I love the idea of a non-marine based starter box, and I have some admech, but I'll probably pass on this one. Domini are pretty bad as far as HQ choices go, and I already have mine, no need for more than the bare minimum. I don't care for the Skitarii troops, and I'm not a big fan of titans either.

I like admech when it focuses most on the weird and whacky body-horror-y stuff. You know, the stuff that sucks.

I'm probably in for at least one set. Maybe a second depending on how the Cryptek and the knights' rules turn out.

While i think it's nice to see a box set that isn't marine focused, these aren't factions that interest me personally, and i'm pretty tight on money at the moment anyhow, so... no.

Someday i would still love to see a completely non-imperial box set. Orks vs tau! Chaos demons against tyranids for some strange reason! Confused Dark Eldar trying to enslave necrons!

Well, you get the idea.

Going splits on it with my friend

I depends. If my will breaks and I decide to build a Knight Household then probably - especially if the boxset on its own is close to the cost of 2 of the small knights.

I can believe that...When either CA ups in price or comes in new shiny box with new starter models.

For once, I want everything in the box, so assuming the price is reasonable, I will be picking up one or two boxes!
My only criticism is that the majority of units are not new sculpts. It would have been nice to see alternate Immortals, Magos Dominus or Skitarii.

I just need the Armigers, so I'll just pick them up from resellers or someone who bought the box for other stuff.

Yeah, a friend of mine and I are trying to start a new club, I'm planing on picking up a couple. I want the knights for a future army, same for the admch, and the necrons are going to form a lender army.

No

I'm not interested in those armies and nor I am in having a skirmish. I also have too many models to paint and some other things to buy in my 40k wishlist.

Since they confirmed these are lords of war, I will probably not get any of these kits. Kind of disappointed.

Thinking about my pile of grey, I actually probably won't get it, just the mini-knights off ebay for cheap.

$160 seems a bit too steep for what they're putting in there, shame.

 Elbows wrote:

Really?

$113 retail for the Necron side. $75 for the AdMech.

That's $188 retail, not counting the Cryptek(who will probably be $25 or so solo) and the Armigers(who are shaping up to maybe be $75 on the outset).

I am planning to get it, provided I can get enough money. I have been wanting to start both AdMech and Necrons.

How does the necron side compare to the normal necron starter box?

Leo_the_Rat wrote:

It looks like it's more supplemental material for the Necron side and hopefully it will have some good synergy between the two.

AdMech seems to be intended to be aimed at players who ran all Knights last edition rather than AdMech players. Armigers are LoWs themselves so a single Knight plus the AdMech side of Forgebane gives you a Superheavy Detachment(Knight+2 Armigers) and a Patrol Detachment(Dominus+Skitarii).

Not sure on the Necron side. I'm guessing you're looking at something similar for two small Detachments.

Last nite at our gaming group a buddy & I are gonna split it, he wants necrons and I want Armigers.

I'm actually liking the Admech more & more. it kinda gives me a backdoor excuse to buy a FW knight and warhound titan.

Leo_the_Rat wrote:

The units in Forgebane are overall superior to the ones in the starter box, IMO. Wraiths and Immortals are two of our best units.

It is quite sad but the only reason that might incline me NOT to buy it are the knight... I think they are not attractive as models

you'll proably be able to recoup a good percentage of your costs by ebaying them though

I've got a Necron player lined up to take the half I don't want, and I suspect getting the Armigers later is going to be a lot more expensive.

I'm really looking forward to this but will depend on the price of course. I'm interested to see how they price it as it doesn't contain the big hardback like DI does, and although the units included are obviously more elite, there isn't many of them. If it's 120 blips like DI, then I'll have to find someone to split it, if it ends up being around 80 lids, I may find myself collecting two more armies

Indications are that it's $160, same price as Dark Imperium.

As mentioned before; $113USD for the Necron side discounting the new character and $75 USD for the AdMech discounting the Armigers. Box basically pays for itself splitwise.

Isn't the "new character" just a new model for the Cryptek?

Leo_the_Rat wrote:

It's a whole new loadout, much like the Ethereal on Hover Drone.

Yeah, they specifically call out the Cryptek as having a new piece of wargear. Depending on the details, he might be highly in demand.

I'm splitting at least one box with a friend. I'm keeping the ad mech side. I need skitari bodies to make secutarii hoplites with, and mini knights will look nice with my porphoryion, warden, paladin, and styrix!

Just gonna buy a couple of armigers during the most competitive and low-priced phase of the splitting up/reselling frenzy that will inevitably occur.

Looks like a decent set, but I have zero interest in either army, so have no plans on picking it up.

Beyond that, it's also a lot more customizable and visually interesting. The Lychguard kit can be built as two units with two loadouts each. The Immortal kit has a bunch of options as well. Most people have a lot of Wraiths, but they are very nice looking models. If I was starting a Necron army, I would definitely grab this set. I'm actually thinking if I shouldn't get one box and another necron half off ebay because these kits are so good. The only thing holding me back and making me reconsider is that my pile of shame has roughly 100 models on it at the moment.

This is probably what I'll do too. Single boxed armiger from GW is probably going to cost like Start Collecting Tau Crisis Suits vs. single boxed Crisis suits.

Splitting the box with a friend - I add to my AdMech, he starts Necrons. FLGS will sell it for 20% off, so a good deal all round.

If I wasn't splitting the box, I'd still buy it for myself

Question for those splitting the box- what is the ratio of the split? It looks like the Ad Mech side has more value than the Necron side.

Necrons - $113 + Cryptek = 145 AM - $75 + Armigers = 185

I'm guessing the cryptek around 30 and the Armigers around 55@. All prices $US MSRP

For me depends on the price and if I can split it with someone to just get the Ad Mech side of it.

 carlos13th wrote:

I collect And Mech but won't be buy this box. It just doesn't offer me anything beyond that which I can pick up from a Start Collecting! box, except for the Armigers which will probably have their own, more complete kit released in the near future. I've already got more Tech-Priest Dominus' and Skitarii infantry than I'll ever need.

Good question - not decided, put probably £40 for me and £35 for the guy I'm splitting with. It's not far from your 44/56% split. That's assuming it's £95 and we can get it at the FLGS for £75.

If there's any doubt, I'm happy to pay more, or I have a painted unit of Necron Warriors that I'll throw into the deal.

We generally throw unpainted sprues and minis each other's way for free anyway, so we're not going to get tied in a knot over it.

I'm buying at least one of these, the deal seems to be too good, assuming the US cost of $160. Then further assuming it'll go on online discount retailers for $132 the likes of dark imperium. It's the incentive I needed to finish up my budding ad mech force. My best bud is starting necrons and after adding a start collecting box he'll be well on his way it would seem.

I'm just excited there is no power armor for once. It's refreshing.

Puts it on par with Dark Imperium. Sounds like it may be decent value depending upon the individual price of the Armigers later on. The Admech stuff excluding knights and Necrons alone amount to around 160

The Armigers are something people just don't know how to price it seems. Many people think they're a huge kit while in reality it seems like they're maybe Hive Tyrant sized.

Yeah, I don't need a 3rd dominus or more rangers, I have a feeling 90% of the boxes sold will be just for the armigers so they'll be hard to find for sale solo and be expensive, while the rest of the box will go for cheap while people flood eBay with everything except the armigers.

Now would be a good time to be starting a necron army. If I wasn't still working on a deathguard, and a genestealer cult army.

Me, I'm always down for more Rangers. I could build them as Vanguard instead.

Dominus...yeah, I don't know anyone chomping at the bit for more of them. I have 3--one I bought as part of a split order for three of us getting the big AdMech formation in 7th(I bought the Dominus, someone else bought the Onagers and Dragoons, last guy bought all the infantry--we all got a nice copy of the rules because of it), two from the Start Collectings(I had one each of the Ranger and Vanguard formation sheets). I thought 3 was too many even.

I'm surprised they didn't add an Enginseer. $6 cheaper, still an HQ, cheaper pointswise.

Don't play either army so not for me.

No. Models look nice, but without an added game like Overkill or Space Hulk or even Renegade to give it some milage, it's for me. Got enough for "just 40K" as it is.

I like the box a lot, but I'm not going to get it because I just started a T'au army so all my focus is on that right now. I'll definitely get 2 Knight Armigers as company for my Knight Crusader at some point though.

I want the Admech, but I don't like knights.
So, even though I might split the box, it'll probably be 3 ways.

I'm not personally planning on getting it as of now. However, my friend is starting Necrons, so he might want to get it, and if he does I'd offer to split with him.

I've been meaning to add Grey Knights and Admech to my collection to complete my armies of the Imperium, but unless I had other incentive to buy this kit, this isn't the way I would do it, because it's really just a squad of infantry and a character. I don't like the knights, and don't really want them.

The one thing I find disappointing about the Ad-Mech is the fact that, for the faction that controls the foundries and is obsessed with machines, they don't really have tanks. I do like the Ordinatus, but that's about it.

I like the knight, but have no interest in either faction so will skip it.
