I honestly think Cult Mechanicus is close because of the redirects.

If not then I still have time to paint.

I agree. I Love these books coming out but even I admit its a little bit of a cash grab. Dont get me wrong. Im very happy for it to be happening but it does seem like they just realized that instead of releasing an army and one codex that they could release a little bit of an army and then a minidex and then a little more and then a different minidex and then finish it out and finally release a big dex for everything. It does seem like a brilliant way to not only sell more models but more books. I hope cult mechanicus is on the way and I hope it integrates the skitarii units. Im guessing it will be most of what we have already plus a few added units. Probably elites and hq mosty. Just speculating.

I am tempted to buy 3x boxes of Skitarii and a Knight.

Myah.

125 for one of these with the nexus is insanely good anti-air. 8 St6-7 anti-air shots that are generally firing at BS5+ and that can also hit skimmers super well. I think these have a place.

Yep, I plan to get three of them and magnetize for the different options. honestly I can see myself using almost all of the guns, its just a matter of what my list needs that game. Same with the special weapons in the skitarii units. I will have to see what kits I can succesfully merge them with because it would be nice to make the vanguard out of cadians and the rangers out of the actual kit. Will have to see

However I have also considered a unit of 10 ruststalkers in a spartan, with a rad/psychotroke inquisitor.......and azrael...for the lulz.

No idea, maybe my source is playing with me

hope they're coming, there is a window for them in may/june

still possible for Skitarii and Mechanicus to be two smaller codexes and the more comprehensive Ad Mech will drop later even next year. i'd be ok with that.

Cult Mechanicus as a mini codex?, possible, I guess you could ally them.

Yeah, wow... that's alot of anti-air. What is the base cost of that ugly creepy crawler? I see that the icarus array is an extra 35pts but the base cost is cropped off.

90 base

Base cost 90, so 125 with icarus

90 points

Edit - Double ninja'd!

Thanks. Sounds like that is a viable upgrade (albeit a visually unappealing one) for the Aegis line for those who want a one stop shopping solution for fliers.

Personally I like it, visually.

Could also convert them up as Orky skittarii and orkify the thing.

Ork converted crab tank would look awesome

That's supposedly a FW one.

So what does it mean if instead of the 'Generic Error Page' you get the 'Unknown Error' page?

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/necron-tesseract-ark

Rereading the option for the Dunager, it occurred to me that we haven't actually seen the Skitarii vehicle equipment list yet. It could have its own interesting options that might really add to what the crawler can do...

Has anyone been able to take a look at it yet?

That's their page for HTTP response code 500 which is Internal Server Error. Something on their end screwed up and couldn't render your response. From here we don't know what it means beyond that.

The full list is in the glossary of the e-codex preview. I've seen it posted many places.

However it did change 'necron tesseract ark' to 'Necron Tesseract Ark'

I think it might just be a link to Forge World.
Like, you click it and it sends you to the forge world store or something.

The Neutron laser is only 25 points?
Why would you not buy it instead of the eradication beam?

Because you might want to save the points plus the different fire modes of the Eradication Beamer might be of use... somehow.. like.. killing cultists and gaunts out of cover... maybe?

Depends on your meta. If you don't face a lot of mech, and instead face a lot of models, you'd rather have the Eradication Beamer. the Neutron Laser is best for killing those pesky heavy vehicles and heavy infantry that are common in space marine armies. The Stubber that it comes with is just kinda cute.

I'm still excited to see what that Heavy Phosphor Blaster looks like. We've seen the Phosphor pistol and the Serpenta, which both look very different, but not the big one.. the pics have been of the Eradication Beamer and Neutron Laser and Icarus Array.

Any way you could provide a link? I cant seem to find it. Thanks!

Not seeing any reason to take the Icarus Array or Neutron Laser, unless you really just need something cheap for the 3rd member of the squadron.

A single AP5 pieplate does have it's place in an otherwise pieplateless army. But consider how much a basalisk costs. Str9 AP3 pieplate for not much more.

It's 36" S6 AP3 Heavy 3 I believe, with the reducing cover saves and re-rolling charge distance rules as per the other Phosphor weapons. Saw the scan somewhere.
