Literally every 7th book says that, and it has been majority ruled that the "one" only applies to the one per army rule.

I have not heard of a tournament scene that interprets that rule as "one per model"

Even when the rule is RaW "A model may take ONE of the following" as a separate sentence from the one per army bit?

I have always heard it ruled you can only take one each, not the other way around

Oh believe me, I understand how it reads from a RAW standpoint, but since the dark eldar release, where they had multiple artifacts working in tandem that would make no sense if you couldn't take more than one on one model, I just have never seen anyone fight that rule.

Ill check in with the ITC guys, see where they stand, maybe this has been enforced, but no one has really paid attention too...

I wonder if my thinking is layover from 6th, where you had single models in tau and eldar holding multiple artifacts, and that is why it never came up...

Meh. I deleted my post because it got too long and complicated after like, 5 edits.

If someone really wants to take 2 relics, I'd personally let them. It's not that big of a deal, IMO. I never do it myself. Rules as Intended is less clear, as, for instance, in Codex CWE it says, "May take items from the Remnants of Glory list".

I agree, it is certainly a little unclear and I would allow it. It isnt something to be discussed in the News and Rumors section though.

Yeah definitely for YMDC, which is why I edited out my post.

Before these books came out there were rumours that a full codex for ad mech would follow. Is that still the thought? Will all these units come in one codex together soon?

I am pretty sure (my own reasoning not based on confirmed facts.) that there will be a book that contains both. But that will be a release far in the future where they do a full release run. Add some units and make a codex including most or all AM units. I guess they will add an transport.
But as the faction has had enough fun for a while it is going to be quite a while before the release. Half a year if we are lucky. More or less. AM releasewave is finished for now. The next time they get a releasewave it is prolly a full AM dex and some units.

This army, in either form, really does not need transports.

Electro-Priests crave transports, I have no idea how you could come to that conclusion. They'd be way better if there was a decent transport for them, though they'd still be pretty subpar for their price.

So I've peeked at the pre-orders for NZ, and I am getting disgusted with these "new big exclusive datasheet with a huge bundle deal".

Offering people a box set isn't good enough anymore?

Eh itll be leaked online like the exclusive Knight House formation was.

A formation requiring electro priests though, meh

I really am starting to think that either we're going to see a new campaign supplement soon, or these formations are being bought only by GW employees.

Warhammer fans have deep pockets apparently, the 5 knight formation sold out and so did all of the Warlord titans.

And? They're still T3 with only a 5++ and 6" move for 18 points a pop. That's really really nothing special. The canticles help, sure, especially if you spam out the 8 units and still have that many by the time they reach combat. Which is... iffy.

Shrouded/Stealth Canticle on turn 1.
Move 6", run.
Canticle doesn't end until YOUR next turn so anyone wanting to shoot at them has to deal with a Shrouded/Stealthed unit--not counting them being in any kind of cover.

And are we really going to pretend that it's "spam" or difficult to have 8 unique units?

How is stealth and shrouded better than the natural 5+ invun they come stock with. You sure can't move up in terrain because then you really will never get there.

BTW anyone thinking of converting some flagellants to electropriests like me?

A certain chan of the 4 variety. Sent you a pm though

From the sprue pics there are enough spare arms and generators in the electropriests it's just a question of how they scale with the flagellant boddies.

Supposedly 30 of them for the initial run.

The pre-orders could have exceeded that, though. They are pre-orders, after all. FW could have set a figure that was higher than the number of Warlords they'd actually cast, with the idea being that they wouldn't lose out if people didn't pre-order enough but would also have time to cast up to the maximum if all the pre-orders were filled. I don't know the numbers, just saying that it's possible.

Five Knights are a thing people would want, anyway. If you want five Knights you'll get five Knights, getting them as a bundle is a (small) bonus. Other formations/bundles are just silly things or odd combinations that few people would actually want. They're starting to get smart about it, though, by throwing in the unwanted models as requirements for formations they know people will want.

Yeah they had 6 warlords available on the day that sold out in 20 minutes, and I don't know how many orders were placed.

FW has the ability to cast on the day-of. I wouldn't be surprised if they only had a handful already casted at the start, and as orders came in, casted them for pick-up at the end of the day.

When I was there for one of the Warhammer World events, they casted I think either my Avenger or my Fire Raptor and had me pick it up after.

i got one of those as well!

I assume they meant the Avenger or Fire Raptor.
