Dangit where is that IA book and the ursarax...

How could you possibly have designed a unit that is iron man chest laser jet pack cyborg bears and taken so many YEARS to release it?

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

This may be the final push I need to get two more Get Started Skitarii boxes: more base Skits for FW upgrades.

Let's hope they're sold as upgrades, rather than bundled with the plastics.

Have we any idea of what troop types they represent? I too have a couple of Skitarii boxes knocking around so these will be instant purchases upon release.

Same here. In fact I specifically decided not to build them when the first pics of these showed up a while back. Wanted to see what was coming first.

But I want the new Knight too. That thing is a MONSTER! If the rules down change from the previews, it will make a great Knight Aspirant. Hehehe.

Probably best to email FW such requests directly!

The chaps with the shields are Secutarii Hoplites; typically used for boarding parties.
I made 5 of my own 3 weeks back, using a Tomb Kings battalion and leftover Vanguard bits, expecting these guys to come out in October.

The two with the gun things are Peltasts.

I heard they were releasing a load of Dark Mech stuff before the Secutarii. I'm pleasantly surprised.

The one thing i don't get about these new Skitarii are if they are just 40k or if they are going to be for both 30k and 40k. They were orginally unveiled at a HH weekender after all, but everyone is talking like these are only for 40k.

They will get rules in the next IA book. AdMech and RedScorpions vs Tau.

If FW gives them 30k rules as well, that would be awesome.

I think its pretty much that. They're intended for both 30k and 40k but their rules will be debuted in a 40k book. One of the next few books after Inferno for the HH series is suppose to cover the Martian civil war, Mechanicum vs Dark Mechanicum and we're suppose to see the 30k era Skitarii in that book. The fact that FW never shies away from selling Titans and has featured some Titan legion in the fiction of each HH book means FW could well have them show up sooner in a book preceding the martian civil war book.

Makes me wonder if we're going to see any equivalent to Doctrina Imperatives in 30k. My guess is that we'll get something similar but generally cooler.

Do we have an ETA on when thent IA is being released? The most I could find was "this summer". Finally, do we know how much of the 30k line will become 40k legal? I really want to pick up some of the FW automata (Castellax/Thanatar especially) but Id rather wait than spend that much on a toy I can't use.

One of the few official forgeworld previews we have of the book has shown a Vorax and a Thanatar, so it'd be a bit trolly of them to not include those models in the book.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power!

They are just killing it with the jokes. That guide is great! I may build a few small contingents just to use as an allied detachment here and there. Fun modelling opportunities!
