I hope so. I have no idea what to paint my knights as.

If you have a device that can run it, the mobile Freeblade game actually has a decent painter component to somewhat preview colors and parts. Uses GW paint names, though it’s doubtful they’re exact matches. Pretty quick way to faff about with ideas before putting brush to model.

Four cheers for house Gundam... errrr i mean house terryn!

Hurry up and get to the Ork codex already!

Saint Philippe’s Head pattern autocannon.

Yeah I didn’t repost that one because it seems to be existing sector mechanicus terrain with a few trinkets at the top.

Looking at the upper leg armour it seems different style plates for the shooty Armiger are confirmed?

Yeah that’s all already available with regard to the terrain.

Yeah, nothing in this is new; the basic structure is Sector Mechanicus standard, the pipes from the plasma conduits set, the cogitator terminal is from the objective set, and the welding arm and tool box are from the galvanic servo-haulers set.

Source on the auto cannon?

looked through the gw website, if it’s not new it’s a heavy heavy kitbash

Yeah i'm going to go ahead and say it's a new kit. It looks clean and the only thing it shares with existing kits are things found across both the prometheum forge and Galvanic Magnavent.

You seem to be missing the key point that if that is a new kit, it still contains nothing new.

I think if it was a new kit, they'd have tried to incorporate more of the parts from the Objectives sprue the Cogitator Bank is on

which looking at the scenery kits is on par. They all use a lot of the same parts.

Fecupant gnarlmaw.
New eldar gateway.

Existing things may use existing parts, but the newer faction terrain kits have all been new.

Yeah I assume they meant the sector Mechanicus stuff, which do share a lot of parts between the kits.

I still don’t think having to take a fortification detachment of any kind will be worth it when I could just have more Knights or IG.

I do like that this auto cannon looks a lot like lance.

There is no way they are packaging all those terrain sprues in one kit while just using a part or two from each of them. That’s just a kitbash.

I like how that new Knight character represents House Stark.

Looking through the sprues you'd need to make exactly what is shown, you'd need:

1 x Sector Mechanicus Supports sprue (uses all parts but some optional hanging cables)
1 x Sector Mechanicus Angled Walkway sprue (uses all parts but one wall section)
... Looks legit so far, but now things start to not match...
1 x Sector Machanicus Small Boiler sprue (doesn't use the big L shaped pipe, 4 end caps, right angle pipe, extractor fan or pressure hatch)
1 x Sector Mechanicus Tractor sprue (only uses welder arm, toolbox and fire extinguisher, leaving the two tractors and the trailer untouched)
1 x Plasma Conduits Straight Section sprue (only for the back of the plasma charger, leaving 3 pipe sections unused)
2 x Plasma Conduits Bends sprues (second sprue only needed for a second right angle pipe - even though you already have a spare from the Small Boiler sprue, leaving another 2 straight pipe sectons, 4 end caps and half a charging station unused)
1 x Objective sprue (leaving 2 bombs, an ammo crate, Medical servitor and escape pod unused)

unless they cut a new sprue with the parts from the tractor, Plasma Conduits and objectives that's 8 sprues, more than in any of the other Sector Mechanicus kits short of the webstore's buy 3 for the price of 3 bundles we all know and love.

I imagine its actually just a kitbash somebody at the studio made, similar to the one Duncan made when the plasma conduits came out (it actually looks a lot like that one too)

So it look's like Rex has something like the Knight-Atrapos's Lascutter. Witch if I recall is both a shooting and melee weapon?

It looks like the gravaton cannon, the lascutter is the other arm.

Err, Your pic is the graviton cannon, the one with the blades is the las cutter. HH grav tends to have those little cylinders, while the triangular las barrel is a las cutter/mining laser.


Grav weapon



2 Lascutters and 1 graviton gun



Triangular mining laser tip.

Is this a thing? Cause It should be a thing....

If it were the heady days of Rogue Trader, that would've been a thing.

Soon master BrookM....soon...'looks at cyber Doberman'

These days it'd be the "Slaughterdeath Killercannon" or something equally as stupid.
