What's Agripinaa's claim to fame?

They are the Forge World which supplies the Cadian Gate region with most of its arms and armor.

The little fluff snippet that GW put up suggests that Agrippina's Skitarii Legions rival Mars in number, and that the Forge World has mounted raids into the Eye of Terror.

Odd then that their lasguns come from Kantrael, unless Kantrael is a forge complex located on Agripinaa.

Kantrael is a Forge World located within the Cadian system itself. There's Kantrael and Deimos Binary.

Agrippina apparently makes really awesome autocannons.

Or it could be the name of the person who (re)discovered the STC for it.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet (and i really don't feel like digging through 115 pages to look for it) but since next week will most likely be Eldar,when will the Onager Dunecrawler come out?

The preview of what is suggesting Eldar is from this week in White Dwarf, which goes on sale Saturday April 11th.
The Onager Dunecrawler goes up for preorder on Friday April 10th, and will be available starting Saturday April 18th.
Eldar will go up for preorder on Friday April 17th.

Basically, if you see a White Dwarf leak for a week? Remember that Friday is preorder day and whatever is hinted at is for next week.

Crap, here's hoping the FLGS receives its allotment of Skitarii codex books and data cards.

Hmm... I wonder if the Lathe Worlds will get a mention. That'd be nice.

well my gut feeling is that the forge worlds focused on are gonna be Mars. Agripinaa, Ryza Metallica and Lucis. that's just cause those are the forge worlds specificly mentioned in WD 61.

that said we'll have to see. it'd not be the first time FFG's stuff has been referanced. I assume you caught a breif mention of the Achillius Crusade from Deathwatch in Codex: Space Marines?

Faeit212 reports new redirects found for Cult Mechanicus Codex and Datacards...

http://natfka.blogspot.de/2015/04/cult-mechanicus-re-directs-found.html

With the recent Dark Angel Redirect, if everything comes true, I'll be a very poor, very busy and very happy man.

Indeed. Atia over at Bolter and Chainsword has been busy. Apparently a redirect for 'Fulgrite Electro Priests' has also been found! According to one avid lore-monger, the Electropriests were S8 maniacs with no armor that would flail into battle, like Arco-Flaggelants, back in 2nd edition, but they never got a model.

It's looking more and more that Eldar will be a 1-2 week release here at the end of April and beginning of May, which leaves the rest of May for the things that we've gotten confirmed so far:

Dark Angels with Interrigator Chaplain
Cult Mechanicus with Fulgrite Electro Priests

I have a feeling that the Eldar and Dark Angel releases are going to be very small and fast, much like the Necron and Dark Eldar releases.

DA have quite enough unique models.
Getting a Dex that works actually makes me WANT to use them would be a BIIIG step up!

Electoo priests redirect...... ffffffffffffff 'dies'

They were more like living eclectro guns that had no armour and hit for s8 in cc, they had specialist tattoos that made them living battery type things.

I hope they ordered them...I was told from my local GW that the datacards were online only, he wasn't getting any shipped to the store.

Is the Electro Priest really confirmed? Seems there is just a link redirect. Has that always been correct in the past (link redirect equals model coming out within 2 months?)

Adeptus Mechanicus HQ are usually

a) Safely monitoring the battle from orbit
or
b) Safely monitoring the battle from an ultra-super-secure command post planet side lol.

Except for Skitarii Tribunes, Secutors, Magos Explorators, priests safely monitoring the battle from a superheavy vehicle at the front, etc etc.

The fluff presented in this release is plausible enough, and it fits well with the idea of a massive planetary-scale offensive deployment of Skitarii if you consider the orbital techpriest to be the overall commander, but the idea it's even close to the norm for the Mechanicus just doesn't fly for me.

EDIT:

Also, if the redirects are right; omg omg omg omg omg omg electro-priests

Oh GW, I jus' can't quit you.

Every link redirect so far has been correct.

I"m sure they could use some more plastic and less finecrap/metal in the line though. Everything could.

Only a matter of time till they start pulling our chain.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's masses of Magi that actually fight on the front lines. I'm not sure if enginseers are actually Magos but they do fight.

Explorator Magi are known to fight ( at least I think so) while a skitarii mantiple might be directed via a uplink you really hit the nail on the head that it wouldn't fly if the Mechanicus were out in force.

I dont buy the up in orbit thing. Half the armies in 40k could and would use the up in orbit approach and just pound planets with bombardment.

40k isn't real life obviously, so we have commanders on the ground. Further it's CINEMATIC to be on the ground, which GW LOVES.


Besides, why are the AdMech out there away from their forge world?
To recover Archotech and find new STCs
What magos isn't going to be right on the front lines to get the chance to see and interact with new Archotech or STCs?

Similarly if the AdMech are on defense, protecting their own forgeworld you are saying the Magos is just going to sit on the manufactiorium floor inside while the fate of the precious forge world hangs in the balance of the battle?

No in both cases, at least in 40k, any high ranking AdMech character would be on the front lines.

double-post of doom

So does anyone think there will be other admech codecies with new tech priests HQs and whatnot? or if it will be soon? or is this it for now?

Um... look up like... five posts? :-p

I have an idea why a magos might be on the front line. They messed with his machines!

Que dramatic music...
....In the 40k universe.... A lone Tech Priest ......a reckless maverick.... Sworn too serve..The Ommisiah.... But he does so his own way...

"I told you McCogson you are to remain on the ship"


" Beep beep Beep!"

Tech Priest grabs his axe and jumps out of the air lock


"Beep!"

"Damn it McCogson, we don't need another loose screw in this outfit!"

Look for Lucius Pattern Warhound links!

*ducks*

Electro Priests? Hmm...

rabble rabble?, im not installing that thing but it an idea, i guess it be safe that it be the AM big kit, but i think they might end up with that Land Crawler or Something like the Squat Land Train

Or they'll just point you at the Imperial Kniggit kit.

Electoo Priests were in the 3rd edition 'we're huge teases' pre-codex army list booklet weren't they?

Most likely but when has a fw kit been in a codex?
