Yeah, I think we got the WW1 references a looooong time ago.

But seriously, is that a hood ornament? Mechanicus be pimpin' yo.

I must have that Riptide. I need it.

Ground clearance issues resolved, it was never intended to run on roads.

Where they're going they don't need roads.



They do need tracks though..

It already has its own tracks, one set on each side.

The ram at the front is actually a ramming weapon if I recall correctly from the draft rules revealed earlier this year so it doe have an actual purpose.

Yes, it's a giant ram filled with anbaric lightning generators and matter-disruption fields akin to those used on power weapons.

Shock Ram
"-When conducting a Ram attack, or being Rammed, the Triaros counts its Front Armour as having an Armour value of 15 and, in addition, rolls once on the Haywire table in addition to any damage it causes normally while ramming or being rammed from the front arc.
When conducting tank shocks, any tank-shocked unit suffers D6 Str6 AP5 hits in addition to resolving the tank shock as normal. The Shock Ram is not counted as a separate weapon and cannot be affected by Weapon Destroyed results."

Looks better with some paint on it. Still not sold on that tribal tattoo thing they put on it though.

It looks awesome painted, gonna get one for sure.

I was surprised to see that Trish Carden did the Raven Guard Contemptor.

I love it, would love to know how they painted that up (as in a painting guide ).

Yay! Another contemptor... How about they release those new knights and the riptide now.

The ones that just got announced?

Patience grasshopper!

I'd settle for the castigator rules at this point. Want to see what that bolter has

I love all the stuff, apart from the Knight Titans. Weirdly I still think the vanilla GW one is the best of the lot.

The knight with the flammer has been floating around for a few weeks.
And if they are selling them tomorrow at their convention then they should be ready for preorder.

Following the trend set by the other knights and the Dimachaeron, I would say the Stuff coming for up for sale at the open day would be at least the next two weeks releases

No. Please no. I need time to recover from the castigator purchase and restock the warhammer coffers.

Loads of pics up from the Open Day.

Auxillia and Mechanicum mainly.

"Legion 0" apparently...

Thanks for the link, sockwithaticket! Some smexy Admech stuff on the horizon ...

What are those new Robots?

Looks like an updated version of a Space Crusade Dreadnought.

No worries, mate. I couldn't agree more about the Mechanicum stuff, looks very interesting indeed.

Really like the Vorax Battle Automata, going to have an abundance of stuff to choose from in the next couple of months.

Not sure about the solar auxiliaries, they look a little big compared to Marines, I'd like a scale shot.

Damn, and I thought I had enough guard well time to sell a kidney Forgeworld you are my resin crack dealer you keep me broke lol. The mech army is the new hotness impressed I must say.

Those robots go waay back...

Wow, an homage to the old Crusader Robot, I wasn't expecting that, but I am quite happy! Some neat new models too!

I know you guys love all this Mechanicum stuff, but its time to give me some Space Marines again ... and what is Legion "0"?

Took some pictures myself too:

Very little Fantasy though:
