Ok, so they're updated versions of the Crusader Robot. Very nice.

Admech knight with a volkite?
Sold!

Volkite Carronade on a Knight by the looks of it. Seems to be a lot of resin and minimal plastic involved in the kit which is interesting.

Can't wait to see FW do an update on the Warden design!

Dear lord, too much stuff I want. That volkite knight (and Volkite Leman Russ Turret) are must haves.

So many quality pieces, and those robots! Bravo FW, bravo!

Right, time to take a long hard look at my miniature collection to see what can be ebay'd for a big selloff...

So I am not up to date on 30K weapons. What do "Volkite" guns do?

Essentially, an unsaved wound will cause an additional hit. The extra hits cannot generate more hits. Most Volkite guns are AP5, but the Carronade on the Legion Glaive is AP2 (and it's a 1" wide, 48" long template).

I doubt the Volkite Knight is carrying the same gun the Glaive has, though.

man thats a load of goodies from FW... drolling over knights robots and that mechanicum guard looks sooooo sweet....


seriously I love that admech guard, looks perfect for the role!

Any details slipped out regarding the next book?

Was rather unimpressed by the Open Day actually. Glad I have my Decimator. Though, it took almost 3 hours. Even with an order.

I really want to start with Auxilaries now.

Some of this mech stuff makes me quite moist, the robot too !

Hey guys, I just came back from forgeworld open day in Amsterdam and I thought I'd share some pictures!

And some more

Rizzenvoth thanks for sharing! that's a lot of load outs for the mech knight.

Any XV109 pictures floating out there?

Anyone get any info on Legion 0, whose at the open day that is??

The new guard and AdMech items look wonderful!

The Raven Guard Contemptor? Goofy. Swirly pattern makes zero sense.

The pattern makes sense in the 30K setting. But I think it might hurt it for 40k sales.

I'm thinking legion 0's might be loyalist traitor hence no iconography.

Is the black painted Mechanicum models in the massive diorama a representation of Dark Mechanicum?

It would be nice to know more about "Legion 0" - surely someone must know something?

And thanks to all for the links and pics!

Well, IIRC the next book is a toolkit for players to forge their own narratives in the HH era. Maybe they've come up with some angles for DIY marines in that era? The Word Bearers have different chapters within the Legion.

Is it not meant to be the shattered legions?

Those new 30k tanks can not come soon enough. I really want those volkite LRBT turrets and LRBT-hull Basilisks for my 40k IG army.

Could "Legion 0" also refer to the original Space Marines Legion appearance when they were first founded, with armor that was just plain grey adorned only with the lightning bolt symbols?

On the scale of mechanicus-y:

Archmagos on Abeyant 11/10

Probably the most over-the-top mechanicusy model ever cast, out mechanicusing the already mechanicus-overload Archmagos. Tentacles! Servo Skulls! Servo Skulls on Tentacles! More mechadendrites than a Shunga print. Weird animal skull mask, though.

Questoris Knight Mageara (Questing Knight Mage?) 10/10

No-one's going to mistake these bad boys for regular ol' Imperial Knights; they've had a thorough mechanicusing. Volkite Cannon, BOOM!, Power Fist, POW! Lighting Cannon! ZAP!
Skull head a vast improvement on the single cyclops eye head that no one is ever going to use. The secondary weapons bays give me pause as well.

Triaros Armoured Conveyer 8/10

Not a fan of the Mechanicus vehicles in general; the side-track things seem a little lazy and the WW1 tank theme has been done to death already. Was hoping for slightly weirder Mechanicus vehicles, but sure.
It's got an impressive prow...

Vorax Battle Automata (or... RT Crusader Robots) 6/10

I know they're pretty much a perfect tribute/resculpt of the old RT Robots but those insect heads look daft. Headswaps incoming, for sure. Also, 1 of each weapon type on the carapace again?

Solid additions to the current Codex which add much needed diversity. Mechanicum can now be pretty much fielded as a full on 40k army since we have all the models now.

Ugh, I really wanted something cooler for the Vorax. I suppose in every Army there have to be a couple of dud models.

I haven't been seeing any other painted armies other than mine recently though. Where are all the mechanicus players?

Pure speculation (haven't read the HH books and also don't know what they have changed/added in the HH for a few years): Didn't the Emperor run around with marines before he found the Primarchs? Could they be some sort of proto-legion that was used to seed the others (and probably not the two missing legions).

My best guess would be loyalist survivors of the traitor legion, possibly a pre-Grey Knights legion.

Well, the release of the Vorax Battle Automata seems to have saved me the trouble of kit-bashing one from a sentinel.

He ran around with proto-Marines during the Unification Wars, before he started the Primarch project.

The infamous "Thunder Warriors".

Once he made the Primarchs, and then lost them, he used their geneseed/DNA/etc. to create 'true' marines, but by then, they were Space Marines and were definitely known by the name of whatever legion their Primarch was from.

That's as good a guess as any I've heard yet!
