It's been a fairly common release pattern from FW - to release an alternate version of a new GW release. Do you think the Skitarii will get the FW treatment? Will they look dramatically better/different? What would you change with the skitarii?


Some side thoughts I've had about the Admech:

I really like the current admech GW look (FREAKIN SPACE SALLET HELMETS - YES!).
If I were going to be a bit picky about the skitarii models though, it would be that the coats are bit too straight - lacking that natural flowing robe look to them. It's probably just the nature of GW plastics. No biggie, and something I can easily bend, twist, paint lighting.

Also, for whatever reason, since reading Titanicus, the mental image I had of Skitarii were more of a beastly mechanical look, with bizarre tribal ornamentation. Think the creature suit from 'The Village' but with mechadendrites and steampunk'ized. It's probably just a world specific thing though. Or, maybe I just misinterpreted something out of the novel? Anyone else thought this?

nope. I sincerly doubt it; rather forge world'll likely if anything add onto the admech codex with a varity of new options. much like Imperial Knights

Forgeworld added new knight variants. I don't think that comparison works exactly. Granted they are a different listing/ different codex. I'm just talking about the model type variation more so, and not the literal rules so much.

So it wasn't just me then. I think they would've been better of without the coats, can't call them robes.

I pictured them a bit more tribal myself, maybe it's just the one's that fight at the feet of their god's though.

They already have, they're called the adeptus mechanicus...

I think FW will stick to the 40k taghmata tbh.

I mean it would be very easy for them to permit crossover between taghmata and skitarii.. but they probably won't.
