Yeah, they should only really be in robes if they're actual Priests - which Myrmidons are but Skitarii aren't.

In Titanicus the PDF mistake Skitarii for Chaos creatures.

I am not even surprised by that .

I wonder...
If this is true, will they be compatible with CSM and lost and Damn?

Well in lost and damn codex you may take hq that is Heretek Magos, but it's not the same.

Now I'm all for some 40k Ad-Mech. As i'd imagine many people are.

But do we really need ANOTHER Imperial faction. Couldn't they just have given us better options for ad-mech style guard in the next IG codex? (Plus models of course. Need those plastic fully customisable ad-mech)

Well some could Argue that the AdMech is its own faction outright. It has loose Imperial loyalty at best. AdMech is all about AdMech.

**TiamatRoar**

The Ad Mech has always had its own military resources, fluff-wise. The fact that you could only attach Titans as a singular Lord of War to OTHER Imperial armies instead of backed up by their own skittarri forces as stated in the fluff was really kinda... odd.

That said, I wish they'd do a Tau Auxiliary thing or something instead, though I can see why they'd do Ad Mech because Ad Mech is really really really popular and has awesome potential. Hopefully they'll do a Dark Ad Mech or something some day.

The one I'd want the most is Lost and the Damned but I figure they figure Forgeworld's already counts as that (although really, Forge World's Lost and Damned is sadly mostly just derivative)

That would be nice, but going off the knight release they will get a fluff mention at best like the chaos knights.

Forge world would be out best hope for dark mech at least in their latter hh stuff

Let's stay optimistic. Maybe CSM will have at least alliance level like with necrons.

**Lockark**

I wouldn't get my hopes up.Just looking foreword to something I can kit bash or use as counts as in a heretic and renegade list.

That's our lot in life as chaos players.

New rumours -

Gary Arndt
Rumors were also excited about Admech in April and now no mention of it over the last week or so. I feel like there is going to be a lot of disappointed folk. Honestly prefer to wait for photo leaks and be pleasantly surprised.

Lords of War Gaming
Gary Arndt Admech are right around the corner.

They are not actually Admech. That codex will release later. The books will be Skatarii and Cult Mechanicus.

So now three books? The Supplements are coming before the full Codex?

Lords of War Gaming
Supplements, but models as well.

**aka_mythos**

Seems excessive if it's really going to start off as two different supplements.

**drbored**

Supplements don't work without the core Codex. You kinda need the main Codex for, y'know, all the rules that the Supplements change.

Someone's got their wires crossed here.

Leading with two supplements does seem a bit odd and excessive but it's not without precedent. Tempestus Scions were released prior to the Astra Militarum codex. IIRC everyone thought it was an awkward way to do the release when it happened.

Scions isn't a supplement. It's a mini-dex like the Inquisition.

Harlequins is both a supplement and a codex

Not really. It's just a Codex.

**Ratius**

The books will be Skatarii and Cult Mechanicus.

Skitarii are self explanatory but what might be in Cult Mechanicus?

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cult_Mechanicus

The Cult Mechanicus is the state religion of the Adeptus Mechanicus, which recognizes its own dogma as opposed to that of the Imperial Cult. According to the Cult Mechanicus, knowledge is the supreme manifestation of divinity and all creatures and technology that embody knowledge are thus holy because of it. The worth of a single man is only the sum of his knowledge - his body is simply an organic machine capable of preserving intellect. It is by this motivation that the followers of the Cult Mechanicus follow the Quest for Knowledge, seeking new technology and information to better themselves.[1]
The Machine God, also known as the Omnissiah or Deus Mechanicus, is the ultimate object of worship in the Cult Mechanicus. It is the Machine God that gave rise to all technologies and made them manifest through his chosen among mankind. To the Mechanicus, machines represent a higher from of life than those crudely formed from biological evolution. The planned perfection of form and function embodied in a machine are so great, that they could only have arisen from a divine source. Officially, the Cult Mechanicus maintains that the Emperor is the physical manifestation of the Machine God

Things like Enginseers, Electro-priests & Myrmidons (hopefully!)

**TiamatRoar**

Yea, it's probably going to be like Tempestus, except two Tempestuses. So there'll be a skitarii mini codex, a cult mechanicus mini codex, and then an ad mech codex which includes both of them just like how the astra militarum codex includes tempestus scions.

Very awkward and kinda reeks of greed too, just like the tempestus release did. Although the optimist/whiteR knight (not necessarily a purely WHITE knight) could believe they're doing it this way because they don't have enough models for a full codex, so they need to start with the mini codexes first because that's all they have models for. Then by the time the main codex comes out, they'll have the models from two of the mini codexes as well as new models on top of that and can classify it as a real codex. Maybe.

**Lockark**

The Tempestus book in retro spect the book Grey knight players need for their Inquisition storm troopers. Not so much a AS thing. The same way inquisition was dropped from the Grey knight book.

**aka_mythos**

It's gonna be frustrating if they were to pull engineers from the IG to make them take one of these as allies.

**sonofruss**

That would be way in the future though removing something from an existing codex without a new one would confuse people not in the loop.

I guess Harlies from the craftworld codex are in a limbo right now. Tech priests could get the same treatment.

**H.B.M.C.**

Why would it need two books?

**Azreal13**

Twice as much cash, silly!

**BrianDavion**

I don't see Techpreists being removed from the AM 'dex. tech preists are often full on attached to guard regiments after all. however, it's useful as it means if I want to take a tech preist for I dunno a MT force, I don't have to pay a tax of AM troops and HQs for it

The ones in the Craftworld dex are still usable with that dex just like the glory boys in the guard dex.

They sure are. What I meant was the craftworld harlies are not removed, but also not updated to codex: harlequins standard,
and therefore exist in a rules limbo where they will never get used but still hang around.
My point beeing they dont need to remove a codex entry to make people need to buy a new codex.

The stoormtrooper dex is slightly different, because their rules was released at the same time as AM had a rules update for them.
Also, codex: AMs tempestas are stll very much usable.

**ClockworkZion**

With Lords of War Gaming hinting at a Eldar update coming in the somewhat near future I don't think Harlies will keep hanging out in the Eldar codex. Kind of like how Inquisition left GK after they updated.

**streetsamurai**

Would be really ridiculous if they release 3 codex for the mechanicum.

Thanks god for torrent

Great

The Eldar* range is the one who need to be worked on the most. So many resin crap.

I'd expect two tops. Third book (assuming a three books, if there are only two books than this applies to the second) is most likely a painting guide.

I'm kind of excited for Ad Mech in general. Red cloth is actually something I really enjoy painting and have gotten down pretty well.

Though that could be my red/green color blindness convincing me that it looks as good as I think it does.

Well Sisters....

What? I didn't say "SOB".

Seriously though, I agree that they have a lot of really old kits that need updating (as do CSM. Seriously, DV has spoiled me for how awesome Chaos can look that I can't even stand the old models anymore in comparison. Also drum mags on bolters. I so want Sisters to have those as an option because they are VERY cool), and frankly any old model line that get some love is good in my book.

I built a Mechanicus army.... before it was cool.
