Lame reveals. Quite boring for me. Do we need another pic of Mephiston? Really?

Agreed about the vampire, but the flier is interesting. I could see some really cool conversions by orks for it at least. And I guess Admech needed a flier...

Is there more coming?

It is billed as the first reveals.

The AdMech flier actually reminds me of Dune's Ornithopters, so that's kind of neat. On the other hand, I struggle to care for the Sisters of Battle stuff, let alone the vampire.

Please at least tease Ghazza... for the love of Gork and Mork!

How long has it been since we saw a vehicle released with a clear canopy? Good to see it on both the Immolator and And Mech Flier. That flier is insane.

So goooooooood! Last year was the year of my Crimson fists I've got them up and running looks like I'll focus on sisters next year!

Looks like there's a PA seminar later, perhaps something interesting will come from that?

Well, an Archeocopter aka icarus grasshopper.
A triple model kit.

It looks non-functional, weird to the extreme and so try-hard... that it's just.. off.

Looking at the model, it is rather small compared to the Skitarii Ranger pilot. So I'd wager it has a very limit transport capacity of max 5.
As a gunship, it seems to have pretty much exclusively stubbers and a small missile launcher.
At least it should be easy to magnetize between gunship and bomber... the bombs seem to occupy the same slot as the turret, as does the missile rack and the data tether antennae.
The only other difference seem to be the side doors. Which are so small, a Skitarii wouldnt even fit through.

I dont like it.

that sisters rhino has the sisters bit in white plastic, do we know why?

So you can see the extras they're putting in the kit.

video of the flyer

they... put the bombs at the.. butt?
That looks like.. well... like... uhm.. how do I phrase this....

So the Triumph could totally have been made as a unit of six separate models, which would have made it easier to transport, and would have allowed it's rules not to be so clunky.

It's going to be called the "poop-bomber" from now on

New sister model looks like a diorama more than a playable model. Anyway I like it. As concept it reminds me the casket of souls from tomb kings: A static center piece, with the cerimony going on around it. Probably if the Casket would have been done these days it would have looked like this.
The new Ad mech flyer...mmm...i don't like it. It doesn't looks like an ad-mech model. Probably more an orkish flyers with not enough dakka.

You can just magnetize the models and pull them off for transport.

I like the cockpit and body of that admech flyer. But those wings. Yikes, thats a big miss.

The flier looks like it tried looking like an Ornithopter but ended up looking like a DUST tactics deformed chibi anime abortion.

Yeah I really don't get where they're going with 40K AdMech to be honest. Hovercraft. Ornithopters. Walker tanks. No recognisable STC patterns at all. They seem to think a mad scattergun collection of random stuff fits the faction, but it doesn't work for me at all.

When I think "AdMech flier" the image that comes to mind is a flying brick, even moreso than Marine fliers. Something along the lines of the Arvus Lighter but heftier.

This is reaching even for Dakka.

Agreed. I was thinking the body/cockpit look ok, and I would have liked some more downward swept Valkyrie wings. That same blocky industria style. This looks like they started making something 40K and ended up thinking about a Dwarf gyrocopter while designing it.

The Triumph? F A B U L O U S! Lovely model and everything I was expecting (i.e. a Bret Grail Reliquiae ramped up to 11).

The Flyer? No, Nope. Nein. Non! It looks so out of place (it would look far more in place with the AoS Dwarf guys). It looks like something from a Steampunk-esq game that found its way into 40k. I'd expect it to be called like a "Professor Huffanagle's Fantabulous flying contraption". Like, why do the wings actually need to move? Why does it have legs?

There is a lot to unpack on that model and it looks godawful.

It really doesn't.

Bloody fantastic model.

...true. though in that case they couldn't put as much.. as others say, "over the top" onto it. can't have a proper grail reliquae without that piece itself, after all. and that air is quite busy with cherubs. still like the actual individual sisters on it though, especially the one leading the front. the air is more serene and tempered instead of what i see as ragey, which is more common for the expressions on the rest of the line thusfar. plus that front model is more or less what i had hoped they'd do for a sisters generic and armored melee unit. shame it's only on this model though. Maybe that'll come around someday.

Sign me up for the pro flier team. Love it. I don’t think it’s out of place with the AdMech look at all. I definitely don’t agree that it fits the Kharadron Overlords more (it’s a big metal bird, not a steam powered airship).
