Considering I wanted to make a lance of the walkers ill need 6 of them.

Then probably 3 for the shooting ones

I think GW will be pleased with the sales figures on these. Maybe it will help them pull the proverbial head out and make some more alternative factions based on older fluff.

I get the feeling that some of the design crew now are fanboys from the RT era, and are thinking 'what have I wanted to see since I started in the late 80s early 90s?'.

Squats please??

Yeah, wow... those walkers are pricey. You'd think they were finecast kits at that price point! Eh, at least they don't look like the spider walker that was previewed first on the bright side. The infantry though looks nice and is priced fairly as well for GW.

Prices confirmed looks like. Expensive walkers ahoy! More than a dollar US per point for the 45 point bare bones walker.

transfer sheet for 20$ !? wow one better be included in each box....

Honestly, I'm more interested in the technical paint.

Say what you will about GeeDubs, their fancy paints are actually quite good; expensive, but offer a lot of easy solutions to otherwise very difficult or time consuming methods. The amount of Agrellan Earth I've used is, well, substantial (re: Desert Bases for all the things!).

I do, however, look forwards to seeing what some of the talented painters 'round these parts do with the models, I just don't think they're for me; I've got 30k on the horizon.

Woh woh woh. we get a world engine book?

[breathes heavily]

Technical paint AND leadbelcher spray. And a box of Skitarii on top.

Well played GW, well played.

Good news: The Skitarii squad isn't -horribly- overpriced.

Bad news: No plastic AdMech priest guy.

I'm thinking it might be one for use on other kits...like Knights.

Well not this week. We have 3 more weeks until the book drops. There is plenty of time for more releases.

I am reeaaaallllyyyy hoping for a battleforce/combo box at this point.

*Grumbles* Stupid GW not releasing a creepy guy with tubes sticking out of every orifice... Oh, well, at least my wallet can breathe a small sigh of relief. For now.

[MOD EDIT - PLEASE find a different way to express yourself - thanks! - Alpharius] This is going to be a multi-week release for sure.

I'm sad that fellow hobbyists seem to have read my minds... Dust Tactics Wildfire/Honey kits are sold-out everywhere... :-p

There goes my plan of building squads for 1/3rd the price. :-p

I think ill pick up this WD, but see whats in the next WD for the next set of releases before committing to an Ad Mech force

But I like what i See so far

Common sense dictates that it is the same thing as we have seen with the Imperial Knights, where they sold a separate transfer sheet which had a lot more in-depth transfers than the primary sheet.

wow, these look truelly awful, I was expecting so much more, they just seem like scions with kit change and more clothes...

So basically, they look extremely different from scions, other than their height?

$50 for the walkers? Even after online discounts, that's a big "Nope" from me. Would have built a full army if they were a reasonable price, now I'll just buy a couple boxes of the Skitarii to use as tech thralls in my Mechanicum army instead. Good work, GW, you went from getting potentially $400+ from me to now less than $100.

And is that just another expensive crackle paint they're making? I just buy a large bottle of crackle craft paint from the hobby shop for $3 and it does the exact same job and can be mixed with other paints to get the color I want.

By that logic the Scions look just like Guard with just a kit change and change of clothes, the Guard looks like Sisters with a kit change, gender change, and different clothes and the Sisters look like Space Marines with a gender change, kit change and different clothes.

tl;dr: everything is a model of Alpharius.

The crackle one was just one of the line they come up with' the blood and corrosion one are quite good, though the rust is a bit bright for my tastes, but then most GW paints need a good dark wash or mix to take the "cartoon" out of their standard pallet.

I'm willing to bet that the paints were designed like that intentionally to encourage the purchase, and use, of washes.

From Bolter and Chainsword:

33€ for a walker of sentinel size? What?

Also: they better be battle brothers with Necrons.

$50 for a single 55pt AV11 HP2 walker?

Man, I thought Sentinels and Pirhanas were expensive...holy jeebus, the AdMech walkers cost more than Forgeworld Wasps.

Bigger than a Sentinel. Looks to be roughly 3-4x the height of a normal model.

I like the models a decent amount, but it's hard to decide when comparing them against Mechanicum which just looks amazing. The Skitarii are at least well-priced, so I'll probably pick up a box just for modeling/objective games, but the gimptinel is waaaay too much for a model that size.

Here are the other two pics from www.waaaghgaming.de





There is also something for Solar Auxilia from Forgeworld in this issue. Next week's WD will have another Deamon-related article called 'A tide of daemons'

Well that provides the proof my German sucks.

Is it what's hiding in the dunes?

The others I can't figure out.

What a laughably stupid price for those walkers...
