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.

There's one coming out next week for Khorne Daemonkin.

Well, they still do them occasionally. But it's not guaranteed I guess

Pictures found on Reddit:



A bit sad that they're AV11 Open Topped Walkers instead of MCs... means they'll probably never see the table due to being so fragile. But, for 55 points with a 48" Lascannon or Autocannon, I guess you can throw them in the backline and try to snipe things with them before they get blown up.

Fethin saved.

Edit: woh woh woh 10man unit with 3 arc rifles? MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

I haven't been keeping up, but those Rangers look like some very usable standard troops. I actually can't think of a better troop choice for the value... Two specials in five guys? I'm seeing some new troops landing in Flesh Tearers Drop Pods.

The dude with the long barreled rifle on the Biker base. I want that just to paint up.

They do look better than I initially thought, but still not quite what I was expecting/wanting.

Except the Dragoon - that thing is as goofy/strange/odd looking as it needed to be!

Lol.

5-men squads of rangers with 2x 60" Armourbane Sniperrifles or 10-man squads with 3x Rapid Fire Haywire weapons in a rent-a-drop pod?

Fun times.

The walkers don't do it for me, they look far too silly IMO. I was hoping for something much closer to the thanatar. As others have mentioned, the skitarii look more like tech thralls. Their description in books like titanicus are much closer to the fw myrmidons. I get that skitarii is a catch all.



I know we haven't seen all the kits, just not really feeling them. Here's hoping we get something beefier. What I'm seeing so far is "oh I really want that bit" not "I can't wait to build these models".

Now we're cooking with promethium!

I might come back for those!

So, this is reall, this will acutally happen? Cool.

How do those Arquebus work against vehicles? They are Str X, Sniper, Armourbane.

Pretty much every recent release has had an army box m except for the Harlequin

Actually just read the Dunstalker rule - 9" move on the Ironstrider makes them really good. Not quite the 12" fast, but you can run a unit of 6 TL-Lascannons that can basically never be chased down. Not terrible.

Sniper is S3 vs vehicles IIRC.

Snipers count as ST3 or 4 IIRC from the edition change.

So max glance is at least 15.


Edit: Dang it ninja

I just got some HH mechanicum stuff and I really hope that there is a way to use them together. But, I don't think that this is going to be an option.

I like the look of the walker, but I don't think it'll be very good.

Those Arc Rifles are nasty. Rapid Fire Haywire. 3 on a 10 man Ranger squad. A little pricey compared to DE Scourges. Buy an allied Drop Pod and kill some Knight Titans.

Man, this looks awesome. I love those walkers.

The walkers...

The pilots, leaning forward making Rawr I'm A T-Rex pose!

Walkers might actually be decent in CC against selected targets.

+3" on all movements, including charge. Taser lance is 3 Attacks, Str. 8 at Ini 6 on the charge. Re-roll charge ranges if you hit with a phosphor serpenta first. Not sure if it's worth it, but sounds like it could have a place.

I'm liking what I'm seeing

2nd army ahoy

Rangers/Vanguard are what Scions should have been.

Sydonian Dragoons, huh? Guess they're the Knights of Cydonia.

Arc rifles do look nasty, if pricey.

Well these are absolutely hideous in my opinion, I will pass for certain.

They're also so cheap. 45 pts! is no big deal. They are fast and can potentially hit hard. Not the best unit, but not bad. In general, all the new units look quite balanced and effective. Nothing useless.

Ehhhh maybe the special weapons allotment # but the weaponry is way too goofy for standard storm troopers.

The style is exactly what I expected, and while its not everyone's ideal for AdMech, I'm loving all of these so far!

Good job GW, you truly deserve the ungodly amount of money I'm going to spend on these!

That melee walker is going to be fast. Dunewalker and Crusader?

Oh wow! The Rangers and Ironstrider looks super fun!

I'd love to build a desert scouting force built around them and some regular imperial guard... and a knight... and other cool stuff! Holy cow! xD
