Ok, didn't make it very far into that how to play video. Found it a bit annoying. Anyone fancy highlighting any useful parts?

Oh, a how to play!

with Becca Scott

Oh....ugh, no.

So UR-025 is an pre Imperial AI according to the official site. That certainly has the potential to open a whole can of worms. Alternatively we might not hear anything else about it outside of BSF.

Ok so the datasheets!

Thank you!

Now please tell us what they actually say...

Bloody hell! So he is a Man of Iron. This is interesting...

I can translate one or two in a little bit. Preferences?

Ask what you want exactly to translate and I'll translate it.
But I wont do everything... (because I want to paint this evening)

Thanks

I will finish learning French if you show us the adversary data sheets.

I didn't took pictures for it.

Are there points values for 40k or Kill Team?

Anyone have pictures for those of us who are work blocked?

The robot
Only one per army
M5" WS3+ BS3+ S5 T5 W4 A2 Ld8 Sv3+

Assault Canon 24" Heavy 4 S5 AP-1 D1
Power Claw Melee Sx2 AP-3 Dd3 -1 to hit with this weapon

Autorepear systems : at the start of the round, regain 1 loss wound

Faction keywords : Imperium, Robotica Imperialis
Keywords: Character, Infantry, Imperial Robot, UR-025

Oooooh!

If I understand correctly, Janus Draik is basically identical to Elucia Vhane. What exactly does his reroll ability affect?

I've been watching the how to play video. It seems actually quite complicated. A lot of thought has gone into these mechanics, this is not some hastily put together ruleset. Also Becca Scott is fun.

Wait is that a man of iron ?

Is there rules for the bad guys in this set or just the heroes ?

Dark Age of Technology. Apparently, these things almost wiped out mankind. Lead to a general skepticism of artificial intelligence in the 40k universe.

Let's hope it fulfils what ever nefarious goals it may have, so that we can get a men of iron army

Who is she and why is it bad?

The Ranger
Only one per army
M7" WS3+ BS2+ S3 T3 W3 A2 Ld7 Sv5+


Ranger Long Rifle 36" Heavy 1 S4 AP0 D1 can target character even if it's not the closest. Additionnal Mortal Wound on 6+ on wound roll.
Power Blade Melee SUser AP-2 D1
Plasma Grenade 6" GrenadeD6 S4 AP-1 D1

Ancestral Bane : can reroll failed hit roll for this unit when she is charging or being charged by a slaanesh unit. But you must add 1 to its moral test if a slaanesh unit is below 3".
Warrior Trance : If this model move or advance she can use her weapons (except heavy weapons) as if she hasn't moved.
Phase Cristal : (difficult to read sorry) she can move through ennemy model and terrain as if it weren't there and Invulnerable Save 4+ (? not so sure about this one)
Spontaneous appearance : During deployment you can set this model one the webway instead than on the battlefield. At the start of the first round but before the first turn, you can set it up anywhere on the battlefield, >9" of enemy miniatures.
Cameleolin cape : your adversary must substract 1 to its hit rolls while shooting with range weapons targeting this character. Moreover add 2 instead of 1 on the save roll for this miniature when it's hidden in terrain.


(sorry if I don't use the correct technical terms on this one)

He wasn't asking what is a Man of Iron.

I've been rolling my eyes here reading all he speculation about him - I found the hole "men of Iron, Stone and Gold" thing a bit boring and have ignored it for the past fifteen or twenty years, but I admit, I like the idea of an ancient AI hiding in the fringes.

Reminds me of

His hit rolls of 1 on his attacks.

Nefarious aims? It sounds like he just wants to find a friend.

Also, that fluff make him the oldest character in the game with a model

Oh, only his own? Vhane's similar ability affects her friends as well. Otherwise they seem identical.

Could be a good thing. Necrons would finally get allies. People would stop complaining about soup.

I think the Necrons get to claim that.

From what I gather she runs a series of how to play vids somewhere. She's a bit like marmite in that you either love or hate her.

I must admit, this is my first viewing of her and I dislike her presentation and rather patronising tone. Others are fond of her enthusiasm. As always, mileage varies

Why would the Necrons and Men of Iron be friends? Necrons aren't really AIs. The Canoptek stuff is, but the humanoid Necrons used to be people. It's not quite the same. Also, wouldn't really address the issues with soup. Would just add more soup.
