That's pretty cool. It'll be interesting to see if FW comes out with AoS support for Chaos Dwarfs now.

That's a cool looking Chaos Dwarf.


Is it too nit-picky that the thread title should be changed to Mechanicum Robots, not AdMech? The AdMech don't exist in 30K.

Is that a big hat I see? Glorious! Shame WHFB is shot to bits and the player base riven every which way...

I feel like they might release the Secutarii next Friday...

Last Friday was HH6, now it's the Domitar, perhaps they will continue the AdMech trend?

I'm not expecting to see the Secutarii until Inferno, since they're supposed to be specifically the troops of the Legio Titanicus and they will feature in that apparently.

As for the evil stunty - lovely model, shame almost nobody will be able to buy the damn thing. Seriously the event-only stuff was bad enough, but apparently even that was too wide an audience for them so now the special models can only be bought in literally one store on the entire planet? Feck's sake FW.

And yet you changed the title.

Looks like the event exclusive from 2013 I believe. The weapon is slightly different. and there are adjustments. I had the older model and was pleased so this looks even better.

The pose is similar but it looks like a completely new sculpt rather than adjustments to the old model.

Yup, totally the same model except for the weapon. And the pose. And the hat. And face. Beard too. Oh, and the mail skirt, the palm-down fire-hand, the base, the shoulder pads….
Other than that, completely identical.

The humanoid fingers and hands of the Domitar are much more reminiscent of the Thallax, while the Castellax and Thanatar share a sort of pneumatic claw hand design. I wonder if, in addition to the Ferrum-class for IH, they'll have a close combat variant for the Mechanicum?

No, the Domitar is already supposed to be the close combat specialist. Those Grav Hammers on each arm double his strength like a Power Fist and he comes with the Rampage USR.

As cool as the Domitar looks though, rules wise the new unit that was introduced in Retribution seems like it would be far more effective for the same points cost.

Everytime I see the dominator all I can think is "Rock'em Sock'em Automata". I love that concept so dearly.

is there a list of warhammer world exclusives?

Bollocks to savings, got 3 new robots on order now

FW really is hammering out some lovely new models!

Exactly nit-picky enough. Bravo.

Close look at the new heavy weapon patterns ...

That rotor cannon though.. Pity it's a piece of crap ingame.

Not sure about the missile launcher.. if you're stomping about the battlefield, there's lots of potential for crap to get stuck in the ammo feed.

I'll echo the sentiment about the rotor cannon; looks so cool but is one of the few truly bad choices in game. They should at least be s4, salvo4/5 would help too. I really like the look of the lascannnon, same with the missile launcher even if it's a bit impractical.

While these sets are mainly a fast and economical way of putting out more heavy weapon variants for the Calth plastics, they have a sweet rule of cool vibe to them. Sure, the low-slung missile launcher looks like a bad choice, but it has a certain coolness to it, especially when paired with that targeting unit mounted on the pack.

Looking at the rotor cannon again, I'll wait and see how the back of the model looks, because with a little cutting and snipping, these will make for excellent not-Veletaris upgrades.

edit.

Orrrrrr, use them as count-as heavy bolters. I mean, feth it right?

I really like these, they look awesome.

Or use them as Assault Cannons for BA

I think that's Terminator only though.

For IFs yes, but not for BAs.

Everything that can have a heavy flamer can get them.
And by everything I mean everything. Predators, Dreads... Everything.

They're very nice, but I can't help but feel a tad resentful that Marines are getting an entirely new set of heavy weapons to go with the existing complete set of heavy weapons they already have, while the Secutor and Destructor weapon packs Mechanicum players were promised two years ago are still MIA.

You know, the ones without which it's impossible to build loadout-matched units without extensive conversions.

Not to diminish your grievance, but you could just buy more and match weapon types without converting, provided you have deep enough pockets. Crappy solution, though, I know.

And I am still waiting on Vyronii decals that, via email, were said to be right around the corner. So, I somewhat feel your pain.

I'm pretty sure all weapon options aren't available though, so you couldn't do that even if you had the money.

Missile launcher would be good for the suspensor equipped versions the Vets and Destroyers use. I'm waiting for the drum fed Auto cannons they showed at the weekender though.

I thought each 3-man pack had one of each... but I don't know AdMech/Taghmata that well. That seems crappy if there are missing options! FW has such a bizarre release schedule/priority. Like, why not drop the new book and everything in it at once? Like a real general release? I get that logistics might be hell, but... I mean, it has been some years now for a lot of this stuff. Or maybe just an ETA once in a while, instead of the typical secrecy pattern they inherited from GW.

Love the new heavy weapons. I dunno if I'll ever get around to doing a heavy support squad for my WE, but if I do...these are what I'll use.
