Poor ignorant guardsmen, it be but one of many of the great miracles of the Emperor! The Emperor is magic, like Harry Potter, but more magic! A most real and true SPACE WIZARD! And for the last time... I'm not a space plumber.

Personally, I call him Mr. Stompy.

He's great in 30K. 40K, not so much. 200+ points of grav bait.

Has any weapon ever come out worse than grav weapons for "I cant bring this, because x invalidates it every time?

D weapons on eldar platforms spring to mind, but honestly they are nowhere as easy accessed and used as grav.

can neither confirm nor deny I lost track of what I've got right now.

I wouldn't say that because only two units are actually good at abusing grav (Bikes and Cents) as ever other grav use is a non-relentless infantry unit.

Eldar have 3 units that abuse StrD (WK, Wraithguard, Wraith Artillery)

At what point were the D artillery or the wraithguard abusive, or the knight's selling point was the gun?

4, maybe even 5, because FW D skimmers

Ohhhhhhh yes! Last I heard, automata (the reason you want to play mechanicus) weren't going to be in the new IA book. I'm incredibly excited to see that's been changed!

My armies full of Thanatars and Castellaxi shall stomp to glory and finally people won't be able to go "but muh unsupported FW ruleset...." While they plop sicarians and Fire raptors down on the table.

"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!"

aka big daddy boom cannon, one of the finest looking models in all of 40k/30k visually imo. when he comes round he brings all the elven ladies out of the fantasy boxes and to the yard to fawn over his sleek lines and big strong shoulders

I think it was mentioned quite some time ago in the Forge World thread that the Thanatar is likely to be the only robot that gets ported over, we're more likely to see Triaris, Krios and maybe Thallax than Castellax and Domiter robots.
