They got fat over 10,000 years

I like the power fist robot quite a bit.

anyone need some space marines? I need to make room lol

The robots need different heads, but other than that, awesome!

GW probably planned this release for a while now because the robots looks like they were designed in the 90s

That's cause they were (bottom right, one up):



Seriously, compared to the FW Castellax, they look crap. Looks like counts as is order of the day here. Servitors are nifty though

A 2nd picture - from B&C - Codex and 2 new painting guides

Hmmm, at a glance I'm not a fan. Could be better in person though.

What ever those robots are in the bottom right corner..I will be using Castellax as a stand in...they look..like wanna be Contemptors..NO GW BAD..BAD GW..The Track things...I have mixed feelings about..

Loving all of those.
Looking forward to seeing how they Cult stuff works with the Skitarii stuff. I assume we're going to be looking at seperate formations for each for a while.

I like the combat "droids". They make me think there is some poor schmuck cyborgized inside to get around the Imperium's loathing of AI.

The robots look like awesome 60s cheese. Love it.
Even better than the FW ones.

Like:
Datasmith
Robots
Tech-Priest

Meh:
Kataphron Destroyers

Nope:
Electro-Priests

Thanks for the leak! Love the electro priests and the HQ. Seems all 40k armies are now going to be made up of multiple full price codexes though? :(

Does look like - want to use Skitarii? Buy the codex. Lord of War options? Buy the Knight codex. Want Harlequins in your Eldar force? Buy the codex...

Could have been an amazing release with one big Codex, why are they doing it like they are....argh.
Because suckers like me will buy both books..that is why.

I blame Chapterhouse for that. I guess the plan wasfrom the beginning to make a full-blown codex but it makes no sense to realease the codex and every single kit at once so they split it in smaller codices to got with the kits they release each week.

Is it wrong of me that I'm looking at those tracked things and immediately thinking about how I'm going to convert them into something orky??

Love them! My wallet, it is aflame!

Ballparking Prices:

Tech-Priest Dominus- $27
Electro-Priests- $40 for 5
Kataphron Servitors- $45 for 3
Robots- $60 for 2 and Datasmith

Uh what? How can Chapterhouse have anything to do with this? If GW rolls out an entire new army (Ad Mech) over two months how would that be a problem?

As opposed to not being able to do those things and saving money? Because you can still do that.

I'm not grumbling or planning to buy. Just hypothesizing and typing out a possible scenario

Huh, I like the look of all these... But the robots look really out of place. Not bad, I just feel they don't mesh well with the aesthetic of the rest of the release. Still, looks like good conversion fodder.

Big doofy robots and tank-men? Oh hell yeah, I want those.

But yeah, the robots need their heads replaced.

I love the giant robots!

They legit look like Baymax from Big Hero 6 and that's awesome
