It also occurred to me today that the Maniple has a fortification slot. This is great as you can take a fortification when allying with knights but I wonder if it also is somewhat indicative of this new plasma obliterator. Any possibility it could be an AdMech themed fortification? Im sure i'll be available to everyone but maybe it was designed with AdMech in mind. Just wishful thinking probably.

If you are a user of the Warhammer app you'll get a nice detailed version of the codex art:

Do we know the points costs for the Onager weapons? I only remember hearing the Icarus Array would be 45 points.

is it me, or do their helmets/overarching silhouette echo some of the newer warzone stuff?

I do really hope that the Plasma Obliterator fits the army well. At 83 USD, it's right between the Aquila Strongpoint and Bastion for cost, so I'm expecting something rather big.

I honestly hope it's not more 'Wall of Martyrs' add-on. Time to move on from that.

Unless that phosphor blaster is a blast its flat worse than the other options. Possibly killing 3 marines a turn if they arent in cover for the price tag of the Onager is awful.

I have a feeling the phosphor blaster is a pintle mounted weapon like the stubber.
*edit* Okay just checked the Faeit article. it seemingly is a main gun... Yeah, does seem pretty weak...

Doesn't somebody have this WD? its driving me crazy. lol

I guess someone from 4chan does, but they suffer from the same affliction of being able to take decent pictures. Found this on Warseer though:



I managed to find another by braving 4chan and spotted one of the description of the obliterator with a picture of marines around it, but it's so damn blurry you can't even read what the title says

Well that plasma obliterator certainly looks interesting

Looks rather generic, though I'll reserve final judgement until I see it in more detail. But as is right now, it's a tower with an overblown plasma blastgun on it.

Looks like it's primarily for shooting large/gargantuan targets. Doesn't seem to be able to direct fire at ground level.

The only thing it had going for it right now I guess is how huge it is compared to the guardsmen.

$66 for the Onager. I hope it takes to magnets well.

Well here are a couple more from 4chan, including the above mentioned out of focus one....good lord I hate 4chan, but I'm desperate for leaks damnit!

I think I'm in love...

The pipes look great

Show a man a large set of pipes?

I think it would be worth moving to Australia just to play on your gaming table.

Ah, GW are finally releasing the pipes they showed with the LE VSG. I was wondering when they were going to do that.

God damn it, the pipes have spikes... Come on!

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT LIKE IT'S A BAD THING!

Giant tower? Check!
GIANT PLASMA CANNON? Also check!

Those are relief valves for flaring prometheum during imperial holidays.

I'm with Kan. What's 'generic' about an overblown and overdecorated fortress tower with a massive plasma cannon on top?

LOL. Think of them as pinnacles. I read that in some cases actual gothic pinnacles actually reduce wind stress on structures.

In the Imperium's case its a style that just won't go away...

I want to light it and have Christmas tree lights all over the damn thing...

I just want it to stop.

My wallet can't take more of this abuse this month.

So we can keep this thread open as there is still rumors about the full Ad Mech codex right?

Hmm plasma obliterator looks pretty fugly at the moment, not sure better pics will help :-(

I wonder what the hint in the back says.
