As for now they will most likely ask you to send the models back. Maybe that's because they started doing that 'quality check'. Which is pretty useless, since I had multiple miscast parts even when the kits were checked.

My last several orders were well packed and cushioned, and the miscast parts on my Glaive, they just had me send them the lot numbers and pictures of the problems, they promptly sent out replacement parts.

Skitarii Titan Tech guard!

Enter the Titan Guard!

The towering God Machines of the Adeptus Titanicus can destroy companies of tanks, and bring fortifications to ruin, but if the enemy can get close enough even a lowly trooper can cause the Titan great harm. That's where the Secutarii Titan Guard come in...

Today you can order the brand new Secutarii Hoplites and Secutarii Peltasts Upgrade Kits. These kits each upgrade a unit of Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii to be powerfully armed warriors of the Mechanicus, dedicated to defending their Titan charges with their advanced weapons and their very lives!

Each kit includes enough components to upgrade ten plastic models, as well as options for the unit Alpha. Order yours today!

Dead sexy.

I have... *counts mentally* ... six boxes of Skitarii that I have yet to use. I wonder if 20 of them can become these guys.

That Parabolic Shot rule won't have give some bods a surprise. Particularly lethal in Zone Mortalis games

We use common sense there, weapons like Smart Missiles and those Tyranid projectiles that do not require LOS can't shoot through walls. So, as neat as it sounds, this stuff can't do that either.

Didn't mean shoot through walls, but round bends, hiding in rooms, that kind of stuff...

Dooooooooon't give the tau players any ideas now!

**MajorWesJanson**

I have I think 27 skitarii still on sprue. I'm thinking a unit of 15 Peltasts (and 5 spare for when I grab another GS: Skitarii box) and 10 Hoplites. Now to wait for another couple paychecks to pay for them, which should give them time to come out with the next IA, hopefully.

**Mymearan**

Those Peltast rules :O :O :O

**alphaecho**

That Mechanicus Start Collecting box is looking more tempting now.

On the other hand, can anyone list the name of a third party that makes Skitarii type legs?

**nudibranch**

Damnn the peltasts are insane. Like, skitarii had already pretty much invalidated storm troopers, but now these guy do the only thing storm troopers still had (ap3 shooting) and do it better... Bit of a shame, though I'm still going to pick up 2 upgrade sets (the are bloody gorgeus.)

**Valkyrie**

Ap3, Rending, 30" with no drawbacks like Gets Hot? I only got paid yesterday and already FW are taking it!

**Januine**

Lush!!! defeintely need some of those boys for my still waiting on warhound.

**Matt.Kingsley**

"All Secutarii units have the Adeptus Titanicus Faction."

I wonder if this means the AdMech/Tau/Red Scorpion IA is going to have an Adeptus Titanicus army list consisting of compulsory Lords of War and non-compulsory elites.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Ooooph, beautiful kits. Put me in the queue for some as well. Do we know who sculpted these? Give them a raise!

Tomb kings skeleton warriors, and a bit of air drying clay.
That's all you need.

(Poor image quality, but you should get the jist. Basically all of it is a skeleton warrior, except the head. Fleshed out parts with clay)

**Iracundus**

A bit meh about the fluff though the kits themselves are gorgeous. The original Epic version of the Titan Guard had them as the garrison for the Emperor class Titan, to guard against boarding actions. While they could be disembarked to function like infantry, that wasn't their main point. Bit of a power spiral too in those rules.

**Liberal_Perturabo**

Peltasts are just insane. Do want.

**Eiríkr**

So, what do I need to buy (from GW) to use these in 30K?

**commander dante**

My Friend pointed out a flaw in the rules

The Sergeant (the Alpha) for both squads doesnt have 2 wounds, like all other Skitarii Alphas

FW Fethed up

**SirDonlad**

I am bummed about the lack of 30k compliance, i would have impulse bought otherwise.

But then those rules are ridiculous, it's probably all for the best.

**BrookM**

The rules are still experimental though, so they can still change.

**zedmeister**

Those'd look fantastic guarding Knights and even Ordinatus. Unit1126PLL's Ordinatus Detachment would like pretty sweet with a load of those guarding the War Engines.

Only Sicarian Alphas have two wounds (like all other Sicarians). Vanguard and Ranger Alphas only have one which fits with the new Secutarii,

**VeteranNoob**

want! some for my 40K skitarii. Just to build/paint, I suppose.

Actually, I just checked the codex and both the Ranger and Vanguard Alpha have two wounds.

You're wrong there...

**Slayer-Fan123**

I'm sure if you guys POLITELY pointed it out they'd be willing to do a quick fix.

Sorry about that, looked at the regular ones by mistake.I hope they update the FW variants to reflect that.
