Illegal in Australia?
I'm willing to bet the ship with the AM boxes will get Grav Falconed.

Zion, you hit the right spot there for HBMC it seems...

But I don't think AdMech will be illegal in Australia. It's just going to be priced worse than forgeworld stuff in the nothern hemisphere, but other than that...

I think it's a joke.

That's hexadecimal, and in ASCII it says,

"You wot mate?"

I think H.B.M.C. has known about Ad Mech for months and is just honoring his NDA and playing the part.

Well I think GW has been developing this for a while now. The reason no mainstream GW products are cheap in Australia is because H.B.M.C. Is actually the Omnissiah, and Mars has been trying to keep all that imperial scum out of their borders. But we will see the mechanicus stuff will be dirt cheap in Australia as that's their home.

All Hail H.B.M.C. And our new Martian / Australlian overlords

Don't worry, the AdMech shall be released as a finecast-resin-plastic-metal hybrid, with every vehicle having individual resin tracks and links, and they will reintroduce metal parts, but only for the servo arms and mechadendrites on every model which shall have small, shallow contact points and break easily as a result of the parts being so thin and flimsy.

To top it off, each model shall come inside a box, which shall be locked inside a giant clamshell package filled with scorpions and fire.

Really you're in for a life-changingly excellent release!

Given the level of interest in this release, you'd think there'd be a bit more hype about it than a binary message. Then again a preview or a preview is kind of a self-defeating exercise in the first place.

Could we maybe not fill the thread with spam while we wait for more actual news?

Yes. I am aware. I wrote it.

This remains one of GW's biggest failings: The inability, or, perhaps, their unwillingness to leverage the popularity of their brand, even within their own customer base.

Video is on in today's GW blog post:

Well at least we got a glimpse of the codex's cover...

Yay! So going to destroy my wallet if the models are nice.

Pretty sure a lot of people are going to get disappointed. I'm guessing the release is 2 small hero models, 2 units, 1 small vehicle and 1 medium sized vehicle. Pretty far from a full army. Then they'll have Knights in the heavy support slot and some IG units in other slots.

The first White Dwarf sightings are doing the rounds, Here’s the latest from the Red Planet…

via one of Gary’s birds 3-23-2015

I’ve seen images from White Dwarf, one showing a 4 legged walker painted in red, with a admech soldier on top with a heavy stubber. There was a second image of an admech robbed infantry holding a rifle, but was rather small and blurry. Both images were shown on an internet chat group. Sorry I dont have more right now.

Looking forward to the Pic leaks!

So, it's actually true. I admit, I never thought it was actually going to happen I'm pleasantly surprised by this, more love for the Omnissiah is a good thing

Wow, that as so advanced for GW. Did you see hose graphics?

They must have upgraded the Art departments ZX Spectrum to and Amiga!

Anyway I'm gonna posit this is just a plastic Techpreist kit and a novel. It's all GWs fault in 3...2...1...

well the techopriest looks rather amazing. Not sure about the walket though

The 2 (tiny) model pics from Warseer:




Unsure whether the robed guy is going to be a Skitarii/Tribune or a Tech Priest... Probably a Skitarii/Tribune though.

And that walker looks to be the size of a defiler.

Well that's a... uhh... odd looking thing.

Am I the only one who thinks a Heavy Stubber is kinda "low-tech" for the AdMech?

"A Fansite for Games Workshop" FB has two pics.

I am totally with you streetsamurai. First impression about that walker - 50/50...

Lets wait for new pics.

Are those the expected colors for Skitarii?

Ehhhhh....

This looks like a sentinel that grew an extra set of legs.

Well that was disapointing after all the wait.

A box on defiler legs.

Where is all the mechanicus weirdness, the fusion between man and machine. Where is all the mechandrites and weird guns?

Like a Sentinel mixed with the mirrored design of this thing's turret.

Weird...

There looks to be something more interesting in the background of the not-Defiler I believe looking at it... but yeah the walker is a bit derp. (Of course, GW weird Red/Tan colour scheme isn't helping)

From Warseer:

Here is a look at your Onager Dunecrawler.
Comes with an Eradication Beamer, Broad Spectrum Data-Tether, Enamatus Force Field, and searchlight. One special rule called Doctrina Imperatives.


Its a crawler, and therefore is never slowed by difficult terrain and auto passes dangerous terrain tests. It can't run.


Gun options-
Replace the Eradication Beamer with
-Twin linked heavy phosphor blaster
-Neutron Laser and Cognis Heavy Stubber
-Icarus Array

Eh, the first impression of the walker is "meh", but we don't even have a decent picture to judge it.

But the techpriest / skitarii looks damn cool.

Any idea of the stats on those guns?
