this is a big bit of news, given this is the first boxed set sans marines

What about the orks vs wolfwolf one?

It would definitely be a shame from a knight army standpoint if armigers only have an anti-vehicle build, but shouldn't be too much of a problem if using them as a light superheavy for an admech force.

I dunno. I see Armigers as my answer to Transport Spam?

Well hell. That's nifty. I'll have to keep this box in mind.

I'm happy to see a boxed set with no power armour but personally I'm not interested in Necrons or Admech so I'll be giving this a miss.

RoboCops vs Terminators. Noice.

I imagine these Armigers will come with a single choice but the kit will have extra options, like the Bloat Drone in Dark Imperium.

Complete with ED-209's!

You would imagine wrong. These items would be the full kit as what would be sold rather than an easy build variant.

So... for those of us who have both Necron and AdMech, but have no interest in extra existing models...

How many months will I have to wait until I can buy the Cryptek and Armigers without having to also pay for a bunch of units I'll never use?

Ugh, this box does not help me fight the urge to start building a necron-army.

2 of these boxes would make an excellent starter for Necrons...

If the box set discount is decent, I have no issue accruing a few sprues of spare immortals, Lychguard wraiths and domini.

These guys will fit into your Lord of War slot neatly, and make both the perfect accompaniment to an Imperial Knight you already own and a powerful option in their own right for any Imperium army. They’re ideal for filling a Super-heavy Detachment – this duo and one of our standard Imperial Knights isn’t just a powerful force on the battlefield, but also nets your army three Command Points.

Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff-

I'm all over this box. Looking forward to pricing and release date.

"Knight Armiger Warglaives " implies to me that there'll be other types of Knights Armiger.

I agree with the Cryptek: "I'll take three please."

The old minis in the box come to about £110 seperately . So the box will probably cost £100.
“the set will cost you less than getting everything inside separately, and that’s BEFORE you count the new Cryptek and Imperial Knight units.”

This all sounds amazing. I'm so happy to see a box without space marines in it. Will definitely split one with my AdMech friend.

Two LOW choices in a Starter set is interesting... virtually begging buyers to get a Knight next for the Superheavy Detachment, as per the WHC write-up.

Which kinda makes sense as one of the biggest complaints I've heard from most people owning a single Knight is they don't want to buy a bunch more Knights to field the Superheavy Detachment.

This would let you field a SHD without needing to run 3x Knights and the points investiture that would entail.

Also I like this art:

Over the last few months I’ve been trying to decide if I wanted to start a new Necron or Ad Mech army.....decision made.....

Assuming the Armigers are Lords of War. My guess, based on the size, would be Heavy Support.

Lords of Wars according to the Community article.

Having them as LoW's is a good call from GW actually.

1) Adds flexibility to pure Knight Armies.

2) Allows players who only owns a single Knight to make a full LoW-detatchment if they include 2 Armigers as well.

Well, I guess that's my Adepticon purchase sorted for this year. May grab two and see if my cousins want Necrons...

I'm glad GW released something new for AdMech, but I just don't like the Armiger models at all. Maybe if I saw different angles of them.

No assuming on that part.

Any guesses if this is a quick splash release or will be around longer term?

About as long as it takes you to notice ebay resellers.

Can basically guarantee that it will be a splash release.

Speaking as an AdMech guy with almost 100 Skitarii and 3-4 Techpriest Dominus...I don't view those as "a bunch of units I'll never use". Dominus at least have variant options that open up some usage for those of us who don't magnetize itty bitty things--same with the Skitarii.

I can't say on the Necrons though.
