... so it seems the Ad Mech guys took all the longcoats that were supposed to be for the guard then eh ?

That is a single box, which looks to be $38 USD.
From the way it looks in terms of the photos? It might actually build two 5 man squads or a single 10 man squad.
Unless the unit has something like Combat Squad, of course.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Rad saturation... I'm loving it.

**streetsamurai**

do we know how many mini they are in the box ?

It's going to be a five-man dual kit. I see alternate legs, heads, and arms, I don't see alternate torsos.

Looking better all the time.

Pretty sure it's 10 in the box, because each page shows you 10.

You might be right; but the presentation does not match the way they presented the Scions box.

**edlowe**

Looks like this will be my first 40k army in a long time, so excited for these kits, plus I'll have to get an allied knight now

Best gw release in along time, now if the rumoured genestealer cult are as good...

**streetsamurai**

The vanguard have a salor auxilia feel to them.

if it's 10 for this price, I must admit that it would be pretty much a steal. Weird, coming from GW.

Since they release 2 kits already, and we've already seen a third one, I think it's a prett safe bet that it will be a larger release than the harlequin. Might even be a full fledge faction.

**Requizen**

Can't wait to see the stats for some of this stuff... hopefully putting it on the tabletop will be just as good as looking at it!

The Dragoon has me sold. The infantry strikes me as being somewhat disappointing though. The BL novels (including the excellent Titanicus by Dan Abnett) have described the Skitarii as being far more than human, some going so far as to say they rival (or exceed) space marines in both size and ability, with the Tech Guard being the more mundane bulk of Ad Mech forces (and essentially being better equipped IG forces). These minis strike me as being far more Tech Guard, less Skitarii

Hey folks, up for pre-order this week are:

Admech Skitarii - 10 minis can be built as Rangers or Vanguard. £23.50/€31

Looks to be 10 minis per box

**Desubot**

Is it me or is one of those snipers guys on a 40-50 mil base?

Tech Guard are Skitarri

From Lexicanum (based solely on pre-this-Codex-fluff)

"Skitarii" is the Mechanicus's official term for all military forces under its command (except for the Collegia Titanica, though the Legions may possess their own Skitarii forces). It is a term equivalent to the Imperial Guard as it generally includes almost all combat personnel and armour that the Mechanicus possesses. Skitarii are also known as Tech-Guard (or Tech Guard) to outsiders, and the singular form of Skitarii is "Skitarius." The term "Skitarii", however is often used to reference only the augmented infantry.

Skitarii are often armed with similar equipment to the Imperial Guard, though this can vary massively based on which Magos, Mechanicus Organisation or Forge World has raised and equipped them

It makes sense to have the most "mundane" variants be the rank and file, no?

**scrunty**

Im pretty sure they are significantly bigger than normal guardsmen though, those look like 32mm bases not 25mm

**insaniak**

OK, now that's much more like what I was expecting... Woot

**Mathieu Raymond**

Love the Dragoon. Reminds me of that old Atari game... Joust? Just add mechanical wings and you're spot on.

A few pages back it was mentionned that the infantry would be 10 to a box, for around 50$ CAD (more than SM, last time I checked).

I hope they make the Dragoon/Ballzystratus model a three per box deal. Even I would find the money for that. And find a way to make it the suckiest model ever, a penitent engine.

**drbored**

YESSSSS Awesome! Love the walkers! They look vicious!

Also, did anyone else notice that one of the Rangers with the support for his rifle has a bigger base...?

I can't wait! Totally getting these!!

Wallet: et tu?

**gorgon**

Looks like the rumors about "cognis" weapons, "galvanic" weapons, etc. were on target based on the page text.

Just wanting to remind people here in the US:

Skitarii box would be around $38-$39 USD price bracket.
Ironstrider is right around $48-$50 USD price bracket.

Damn it GW ..I was planing on buying new furniture..owell

amazing modells and a godl mine fore conversions of all sort

**Kanluwen**

I really hope that unlike Harlequin, we actually see an army box.

**drbored**

Well 40 bucks for a box of 10 doods seems pretty on-par with a lot of other kits (many kits are 40 bucks for a box of 5) and especially considering how many bits it looks to have, that's a pretty good deal.

50 for a walker, and if rumors are correct this may be the one that has the overlapping shield that you take in squadrons of 3, so 150 for a squadron is pretty steep....

**ChaosxVoid**

Man I might be the only one that thinks these things look real dumb...i mean the walker has a guy in the same position as the south park gyro cycle (wont link pic for obvious reasons)

**Colpicklejar**

Rangers look really cool. Now give us the dang rules.

Who needs a couch when you can have admech

Man i wonder what the stats are going t be like. and if they will have a HQ slot or not.

**Oryza Sativa**

The walkers remind me strongly of this classic (i.e. really old) image from the archives of sci-fi/fantasy:

Spoiler:

Don't know if that's what the designers were going for, but it would seem to fit with GWs general trend of reviving all the aesthetics and concepts of the late 70s/ early 1980s. I love the walker kit based on what we are seeing.

Hahaha there hasn't been an army box in ages. So I doubt there will be anything like that. Maybe bundled like other releases. But old style box nope.
