Codex: AdMech is coming up, and we know (as if we couldn't figure that out already) we'll be getting "chapter tactics" linked to our forge worlds. The only thing new about it is probably that we now know there will be 7 of them represented. So what do you think your forge world will provide the Omnissiah's forces with?
Let's have a little look at each of the most probably prospects for these 7 forge worlds.
Mars
The high seat of the Adeptus Mechanicus. You're not even allowed to set foot on it unless you're of the Mechanicus. Mostly produces for the imperial Navy.
Lucius
A planet that somehow has a sun burning instead of a normal molten core, maybe created by the tech-priests to power... well everything they do. It's basically
raw energy barely contained that they tap into.
Lucius is what you'd consider high tech, their lore going starkly against that of the "no new stuff is created"-lore of
40k... at least until the primaris came out which flies even harder in the face of that. Lucius is supposed to be known as the planet that produces "the new stuff."
They're also famous for really good Ironstriders and Dunecrawlers... and they make Titans that can teleport, which they're the only ones doing.
Agripinaa
They make ammunition, and the world is pretty much shot to
sh*t by chaos. It's not an inspiring place, and it's so toxic the hive cities have to have their own atmosphere's so that people don't just die from exposure to the air of the planet.
Stygies VIII
Best known for being the only world left that makes Vanquisher cannons, their specialty is munitions.
Graia
Is more a space station that clamps onto a planet than a planet in and of itself. It's this huge crown that could technically just be placed on any decently sized planet. A lot of wars have been fought around it, but the only really unique thing to be said about it is as stated on wikia: "The Skitarii of Graia are known for their refusal to yield, no matter the odds. " seemingly as the result of a bug in their codestream.
Ryza
The forge world that I always considered my own models to be a sub faction of (I have blue coats with the inside orange as a nod to Ryza) Ryza is known for its Plasma technology. They're the only ones that make Executioner Plasma Destroyers, and their Skitarii forces are humming along in these things in numbers that would seem ridiculous to other armies that would have a hard time getting one.
Metalica
A planet completely made of metal, and completely sterile. You know, except that it's massively polluted. Sterile as in nothing grows there. They live right next door to an Ork... hive? I don't know. Lots of greenskins, so they're always fighting Orks.
Why not show off our forces while we're at it?
