Depending on the price, may pick up two while I'm at it. Hoping for €125,- which is about the norm for these sort of boxed games.

Man I remember when this campaing boxes used to cost 100€... just 3 years ago!

Now, I'll say, comparing the size, I'm glad the mini-knights arminger look like they are slighly taller, but still in Dreadnought size or near it. I was fearing something like a Redemptor Dreadnought, but the size they have here is the perfect size for me. I'll take 1 just to plug-in into mi imperium force.

They come on small sprues as well, so a Dreadnought sized box sounds about right. I just hope that the decals included have the same options as those on the bigger sheets.

At that price it would be sweet! So of course this comes with Lychguard and Immortals, both of which I recently bought a box of... typical.

Do we think the Lychguard could be rebuilt as Triarch Praetorians? And I suppose the Immortals as Deathmarks? I want to start an Imperial Knights army and my Necrons need lots of new tasty treats, but I definitely don't need Lychguard, so it might swing it for me

The fact that it has two really seals the deal. When they first previewed the baby knight I instantly thought I would want 2 to act as "not-Warhounds" for my trio of Knights (in the way you'd have 2 Warhounds to scout for a Reaver Titan Battlegroup).

This has 2, so that's perfect. Plus you get the new Cryptek mini.

The "I hate having duplicates" person in me doesn't like the idea of getting a third Tech-Priest Dominus, but I'm sure I can kitbash thins one like crazy and make something for Necromunda.

They're just the regular kits, so yes, you can build the normal options. One of the pictures even shows the Deathmarks in the instructions.

The Dominus kit is limited in option, but I've only got one right now myself, so at least the second one can have the pope hat and whatever pistol option I didn't use last time around.

Though if I go for two boxes.. maybe it's time to see how well it converts.

I will definitely be getting one box. The fact it has two Knights sealed. I was kinda hoping for two Onager Dunecrawlers, but I will definitely take two Knights!

A small force of Necrons is worth it too.

Give those knights 30k rules and I get 2 boxes. If not I'll pass.

So the Admech vs Necron rumour was right... someone remember other things the guy that leaked that said? This gives him credibility.

The thread is in the B&C AM section http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343659-ad-mech-vs-necrons-box-in-march/ Mostly more Knights A 2nd small knight that's possibly a variation on the Armiger frame. As well as two new larger knights the Castellan and the Valiant. Currently unknown if the larger Knights are a new frame or variants on the existing kit.

So hyped for this gonna get at least two boxes to add to the pile of shame I wonder if the lack of Necron warriors is an indicator of anything? Could there be a new kit on the horizon or did they just not fit with the box?

Two other knights on top of the confirmed smaller variants would be awesome. You just know FW will be doing upgrade kits/versions of all 4 at some point so I'm going to resist getting too many at launch.

Just need to find somebody who wants the Necron half of two boxes who is reasonably local to me.

Hmmmm... shame this is AdMech instead of the (also) rumoured Sisters vs. Necrons boxset. But... as the two forces can also be used in Shadow War: Armageddon, I think I'll be picking up a copy.

I'll definitely be getting this, it'll be interesting to see the price of it.

Very cool, I need a couple of those new baby knights and have always wanted some crons.

Yep, keen. Interested to see the price down this way (about $300 I guess).

Glad to see the rumour came true. My interest in it very much depends on the cost however. I'd probably sell the AdMech stuff. Do we have any estimate of the price point?

€125,- or your local equivalent of the starter box price is usually the norm for these.

The image directly references deathmarks and immortals, with a picture of building both.

Aiming that the pricing makes sense, this seems like a no brainer to me. I can use all those models, for kit bashing or otherwise.

Man I hope we don’t have to wait long for the Amirger’s to be released separately.

The two Armigers are both armed with the same melta primary weapon. Seems to indicate thats all they get, if so, that's dissapointing.
That being said i'm still pretty hyped for this

Looking at the sprues of the new Knight, fixed legs again.. ugh.

I will leave this here ...

Also disappointing that the cog pattern on the shoulders is moulded on, pity.

what's more disappointing is that so far both armigers look identical ... to be the point it questions whether the kit will bring more

Looks like set weapons. Not even a single extra ranged option.

Two different carapace Weapons seems to be the lot.

Here’s hoping we’ll see further Armiger sized.

<cue 900 resin-armed FW variants>

I like Necrons and AdMech, but not so keen on Knights; will have to see how it compares value wise with an AdMech starter box...

Looks like the weapons are on a separate sprue so we could see other options later - like with the 'bigger' Knights.

this is a big bit of news, given this is the first boxed set sans marines

Probably why the marine appears to be looking at the box with derision.

This is fantastic.

I've also been on the edge of Admech, and It can never hurt to have more Necron models... Right???

Major selling point is that it does not come with Warriors. I have plenty of warriors and get painting fatigue from so many identical models...

plus it looks like I can have deathmarks!
