The Transuranic Arquebus is pretty awesome i think, love the range...it's not necessary meant to kill off tanks...just help against infantry's transports. I'm personally making a 10-man squad with 3 of them.

Strange it mentions a Sword when usually AM are pictured with axes.

It's not that strange, seeing as how the Ranger and Vanguard Alphas only have Power Swords as their power weapon option?

Maybe however I'd think the Cog Axe is like a symbol of office no?

Symbol of office for Techpriests, not necessarily the Skitarii.

Ill give you that one but I thought he looked like a Techpriest.

I am hoping they get a transport having to leach off other codex's transport would suck.

Apparently the onager's going to have a transport option.

Why? Hi Tech Minis have more than likely drawn inspiration from GW's artwork. They just haven't slapped an Ad Mech symbol on it.

I mean, does a 'lol' and a now not give sufficient clues as to the intent of the post? Really?

Apparently not. Oh well. Better luck next time Azrael

Thank the Omnissiah.

Well that'll be interesting to see.

How soon do we get new pics?

Did someone mention he started an 'alternative models' thread? Can't seem to find any..

Kid Kyoto did, down in 40K discussion I think.

A bit of a shame though. When I first saw the onager, unlike most people I didn't mind it, I thought it looked pretty good actually. Now, after seeing the Ironstrider, ehhhhhhh... I know we've only seen one tiny pic of it, but still, ehhhhhh...

Hopefully it's scoop based.

Scoop based? not familiar with that term.

I would love to see it be open topped or an assault vehicle, at least hopefully some fire points.

I was actually imagining a firing platform mounted in the centre of the spider legs, protected by the force field, maybe with the servitor pilot wired into the centre of the platform.

That could be cool, I hope it looks better than the walker that thing just does appeal to me, especially after someone noted resemblance to something from south park.

Go spend some time googling the works or HR Giger. Keep safe search off. Enjoy.

We've seen a bit of what we believe to be it (as it matches the description provided a few months ago):

Soonest would be Monday.

Looking closely at that character sketch, it looks like there's a lot of wires and cables coming from under the hood, very different from the Ranger rebreather facemask...

Also, the Transuric Aquifibus is still pretty cool for sniping character models out of squads. Taking three in a squad, yeah you might not get the 6's you need the whole game, and even if you hit, you might not wound since it's only on a 4+... but being able to move and fire, and the satisfaction of knocking out that dangerous Melta Gun or Plasma Gun before it can hurt your bigger stuff? That's where it's going to shine.

That said, I do think the Plasma Caliver and Arc Rifle will see more use, as the reliability of the wounds is much higher, and the deadliness of rapid-fire haywire weapons that also happen to be Str 6 in their own right? Really fantastic. Only the Plasma Caliver is more expensive, but for good reason.

Not to mention wiring in servitors like on the walker is something of a Mechanicus staple. Also no butt tube on the GW one.

Besides looking like a nightmare to build that preview does look really cool.

I mostly just didn't care for it(long before somebody made the south park comment), but some people will like it so great for them.

I want new leaks.....scan that WD already! someone please....

Zion! Weren't you going into the future to get us pics, or was that Kyoto?

Clearly Kyoto.

Besides, I'm just a college student. Do you know how much time travel costs these days?

Well according to modern thinking you would have to detonate the sun in order to do it.
