I can't believe they did not ask the guy about the Cult Mechanicus Battle Congregation !!! no instead someone ask the tech priest stats which have been leaked for days...

Well I know I'll be picking up a Metalica transfer sheet
Looks like the tech priest does come with the different gun options, one of the close ups has the conversion beamer instead of the volkite gun
Sprue is listed 2 gun arm options for each side
Wasn't the Skitarii sheet only 20$? whats up with the 6$ increase? They were expensive as it was.
But anyhow, I like having gun options. Question is which options will be ideal for the Dominus to use.
Well thats New Zealand dollars.
Volkite and the eradication ray are both good, Macrostubber and phosphor are both meh, I'd probably keep the macrostubber because its 5 shots. And probably switch off between volkite and the ray

The shriek shenanigans I was talking about were the multiple relics and formations that lower leadership to make them more effective. Can't do that to stubborn units.
Has the website spazzed - the front page is covered in Cult Mechanicus links and the new Magos/Electropriests etc - but they links are all 404 - Records Expunged?
Those damn monkeys keep stealing my saving throws

Didn't you hear, GWs clamped down on leaks so much their website isn't allowed announces releases anymore.
Am I the only one that thinks the price tag attached to the Tech Priest Pre-Order ($62 AUD....) seems ridiculously high? Like a good 20 or so dollars more than I would have expected
I'm curious how the formations will work with Canticles. Do Canticles apply across Army-wide, or within each Detachment? i.e. Would it be possible to run the WD formation, and a Cohort Cybernetica formation in addition, and have both the detachment and the formation add to the same Canticles pool for counting units?

I wish we could have both the Volkite blaster and the Eradication Beamer :(

It's not cheap, but to be fair it includes all the options for the model and he's on a 50mm base so it's not small. By GW's standards, and certainly compared to the ridiculous £18 SM character clampacks, it's actually fairly reasonable(he repeats to himself, over and over, to self-justify spending such stupid amounts of money on tiny wee plastic men ).

Why won't the U.S. pre-orders be released already... :(

Anyone else notice in the contents of the 'dex at 3:00 it states "A Unique Detachment: Cult Mechanicus Battle Congregation"?
It seems like you won't need to lug a WD everywhere you go!

Judging by the picture in White Dwarf Issue 69 for the Ad Mech War Convocation the Cult Mechanicus Battle Congregation (feth me these names are a mouthful) is basically a "1 of everything" formation like the Skitarii Battle Maniple.
I was not sold on the electro priests, but having seen that video I quite like them...that may encourage me to try running a War Convocation.

I think the electro priests looks awesome, I just don't like the paint scheme. They'd look better as black dudes with purple electric veins....not enough people of color in the w40k universe

Are you fething kidding me?
That's mental - in the UK they're £25 (still expensive but not shocking) while witch elves are £35 (overpriced, I agree). Electro-priest box is very, very not worth it for the equivalent of £35.
