Do we have any conjecture/info on the projected price of the walker? I have a sinking feeling that it's going to be obscene, like the insane price for the cool chicken walker...

Oooooo yeah. Maybe with the main AdMech book. They definitely have the potential for some great minis.

Do people think that the next codex for am is close or will we wait till later this year / next year?

I think people are comparing this release to the Imperial Guard release, where the Storm trooper mini-dex was released first followed by the full Imperial Guard codex. Honestly? We don't know yet.

Hell, I should add that the whole two book thing isn't confirmed either. This might be all we're getting.

Given the track record, something being posted on Lords of Wargaming is nearly all but confirmed. Not to mention that the Codex: Skitarii models are under the Adeptus Mechanicus section of the webstore, which is pretty telling.

while i have some faith in LoW gaming Sometimes i feel these leak people are just proxies

anyway wouldn't a release like this require like 6 weeks ( and according to what I hear fantasy 9th is may)

I think a box game ie 9th would quickly be followed by books?, so needing all of may?, and if we have the final release for AM / skitari on the 18th?

as i understand that leaves the 26th for a filler release? ala deamonkin?

The two books won't be back to back, the second will come later. So it wouldn't require 6 weeks in one chunk.

That's finally a book for the dedicated AdMech fans

So, who's the real AM, now: the numberless meatshields of the Emperor or his creepy, robot superfriends?

ASCII rendered in binary instead of text.

No issue whatsoever with their terminology.

I think that in Britain, where the average guy is very much less learned with regards to weaponry (even pepper spray is illegal for personal use), 'Taser' is just the word they used on the news to tell us that some Police have 'Tasers' now.

I would imagine the rules writers are similarly oblivious to the correct terminology to apply to a Taser made by Bacardi or Tesco or some other manufacturer. I sympathise with their plight because it must be getting difficult to name new weapons but I do agree that it does seem rather a passive and wimpy name for the grimdark future.

Tasers in 40K probably make people explode violently into a cloud of blood lol. You don't get that in this current point in time.

I guess you have not seen the overclocked Taser videos.

At least it is already translated - day 1 worldwide release. What's not to be liked about that?!

Reputable rumour sources state that, as far as 40k releases go, Skitarii and AdMech should indeed be back-to-back... but there could still be a Fantasy release slipped in-between there.

Getting a vehicle that isnt a transport would really be a kick in the pants.

Hoping it has a transport capacity of 10 too.

I really want a box of the assassins to paint, but I can't really justify the price

If that rumour that they give - 1 BS , WS etc.. is true then if you are with in 6inches and charge a unit, wouldn't that mean they have BS 0 as Snap Shots are resolved at BS 1.

So they'd be immune if their with in the 6" to charge of Overwatch.

No stat can ever be reduced below 1 (2 for Leadership) unless specifically stated otherwise.

That, and modifiers only apply to snap shots if they specifically state that they do.

Something that modifies the model's BS will have no effect on a rule that requires them to resolve a shot at a specific BS.

It's not a rumor, it's actually in the photograph of the unit stats for the Sicarian Infiltrators.

Apparently the Sicarian formation extends the range from 6" to 12" as well.

Fantasy release! The fantasy world got blown up! What are they going to bring out? Space Debris?

Also if you look a orders for applying modifiers add/sub comes before fixed values.

The world became bubbles, and thus 5 armies made from the condensed lists of others.

Space Rats?

If there is a break between AdMech releases (not much hinting at that atm, identical release as Tempestus -> Astra Militarum last year) it will be the pointy-ears new Codex book and Jetbikes

Just gives me time to build and paint stuff .

You know... I am beginning to see the "whole picture" here, and I am thinking that Skitarii are just over-flowing with long ranged weapons, and "Relentless" because they really are meant to foot-slot.

What if the Onagar's "Force Field" really is some flavor of "Kustom Force Field" extending a 3++ to everything within 12"?

It would KIND of be fluffy (people protect machines, and NOT vice-versa), and would explain what other rules were going for. Likewise it explains why all that insane and cheap Haywire, isn't OP.

I mean... i'm gonna run these guys in Allied Pods, or getting Gated anyway, but I could see this explaining rules like Duststrider, Relentless, etc...

Funyn thing, the code actually means something

Translation: A heartwarming story about a lowly servitor who dreams of serving the Omnissiah as a Skitarii warrior.

Jes Goodwin must have been heavily involved with this release.

I am guessing Dave Thomas as well. His previous work include Militarum Tempestus Scions and Vostroyans and he was the lead designer on latest range of Necrons.

It's a pity that GW doesn't credit their sculptors anymore. Or anyone else, for that matter.

I don't know about resent new releases like Scions/Knights/ Harlequins, but when Wracks and Voidraven Bomber came out for DE they credited Jes Goodwin in White Dwarf.

The Bomber was his incomplete master-piece from the original Re-design of DE, but Wracks in plastic were a whole new kit fitting with the dual kit nature of modern releases. So he was Profiled and Credited with that work.

That was only last year.

As for all other recent release's I don't know if designers are credited, but Jes's work still get's highlighted.

Well the Fantasy world has been hinted at being a planet in the 40K universe. Perhaps an Mechanicus Explorator fleet shows up to survey what caused the explosion? That way the AM release leads right into the new fantasy release of whatever survived

But the Wracks weren't a dual kit?

GW sees the competition of Warmachine + Hordes using two different but similar rulesets, decides to revamp WHFB to use slightly different 40k rules and be able to be run together.

You heard it here first.
