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

It looks like we'll be seeing Forgebane at $160USD.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
