So seems space marine armoured lists might actually become a thing quite useful for me as I'm currently making a space marine army of purely vehicles this will help me keep bound and ignore shaken and stunned for firing every turn.

Fists of Medusa Strike Force:
https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/645 (don't see bonuses but we can see what is taken within it)
^ also says that the cataphractii and contemptors may be taken in place of their regular counterparts

Some hints and suggestions at the new technomancy powers by the GW blog team suggest that we may be able to add armour value to a unit of vehicles armour 15 land raiders anybody?

Hints at some of the new content in the new angels of death supplement book by GW:

So what do you guys thing of some of these bonuses? I for one would love to run 3 armour 14 ironclad dreadnoughts/contemptors. Might just be me being biased towards space marine vehicles but oh well

I don't want to hijack the thread , but are those cataphractii really an option for space marines now? Because as a CSM player that makes me really really sad.

Yeah marines get rules for all the models for BAC and then are allowed to put those in formations where it says terminators may be taken so they may replace normal terminators in 1st company task force and the contemptors may replace any mention of dreadnought in a formation so contemptors in a demi company for example

From what I saw of Technomancy, it's not that "you can add to the armour value" of something but that you can add an armor value to something--i.e. make something that normally would not have an AV have it.

That's why I said I hope that power is a Malediction, because that would be a hilarious way for Imperial players to deal with MCs and GMCs.

The thing is though they suggest adding it to a dreadnought squadron which would make me think it raises armour value

edit realised I linked wrong thing in OP

I have given up on Chaos Space Marines, they are now being repurposed as SM and my Daemons will run solo.

I don't even play ad mech but if they don't get technomancy in the future that's a serious fluff problem. Those guys are so obsessed with the machine spirit they have a creepy incestual relationship with it. I'm actually kinda disappointed they didn't seperate the new psychic trees by legion. Where technomancy is iron hands/warriors.

Technomancy isn't really something I see the AdMech getting. They aren't known for their Psykers.

I just hope Guard gets access to Technomancy. That's something they've been listed in the lore as having.

No!!! As a collector of CSM it is your sacred charge to dutifully line your models up for SM target practice. That's the whole reason why you're in the game!

I doubt GW are paying any attention to the fluff with regards to who gets what power.

Edited the OP to include some hints from GW because I put the same link twice

but I will include it here too:

Making your enemy fire snapshots is delicious. Can't wait for all of the powers to leak.

The Contemptors might actually be worth the points, especially if the Kheres is the same as the FW version. WS BS 5, 4 attacks, the Invuln Save, Fleet and Chapter Tactics means it's good enough to take - and if you can make them AV 14 with Technomancy...

Hopefully there is a march of the Dreads formation for Codex Marines. Might be fun.

Imagine putting the plus armour value on an Imoerial Knight. I wonder if it will be capped at 14, or you could put it on a land raider...

I mean, GW gave Contemptors the main fix to keep them in line with regular Dreads. Now we just need to make sure the Dread characters get the same treatment, and other Dread variants (along with upgrades) are still brought in line.
