The Ad Mech flyer looks great apart the hind legs.Some people just do not seem to get that the theme of Ad Mech is weird steampunk contraptions. They have generated an image of what Ad Mech should be in their heads and are disappointed when the actual models are not as plain and boring than the ones they imagined.

The Triump is absolutely stunning. It looks amazing as that whole diorama, but I also instantly started to think how the models could be used separately. It is a nice collection of SoB characters. They would make great Imagifiers and Dialogi, perhaps even Inquisitors.

I'm loving the new flier as well. The machine itself is intricate and overwrought, nicely Ad Mech. And as bits for conversions..... crazy potential!

It’s also a stunning display piece, something that’s easily forgotten on Dakka, being predominantly about the gaming side of things.

For someone into painting purely for display, surely the Triumph will hold a strong appeal?

Must admit I like the flyer. They purchased it first hand from the squats. The admech stuff to me has always looked like what WWIII was expected to look like before WWII. To be honest if someone had asked me what a Skittari flyer would look like I might have said armored dirigible, or maybe flying saucer.

From Tom Walton's Twitter feed(he and Jes Goodwin designed the Archaeocopter):

I love them both,

although the Triumph is going to be a nightmare to take anywhere if you actually stick the cherubim on it as those chains are going to snap double quick

January February and March for the next books.

Book 5 is Tau.
Book 6 is Orks.

Fits those rumours?

next book appears to be Alpha legion vs Dark Angels vs Librarians

Thousand Sons surely..

I like the Triumph but I'm hoping that the three extra cherubs are removable as part of the build.

I'm surprised that the Sanctum wasn't shown off. I wonder if either it isn't painted/designed yet or if it's one of the last things that will be shown off before the February/March release.

Glad to see Dark Angels in there.
(Best get ol’ Lionel out of bed for the big fight..

Well considering everyone was saying the next book was going to be SW, I'm pretty unabashedly pleased to hear DA is next instead

The flyer does seem to be a small kit for a transport. Doesn't even get a regular flight stand. Did he test glue the cockpit on before removing for the photo?

Just when I thought I'd finished my AdMech, this comes along...

Absolutely love the flyer, probably one of my favourite looking 40k flyers, and AdMech units generally.

Nope. Those are attachment points from the sprue.

They look funky because it looks like the cockpit builds as an 'interior' and then the exterior goes over top of it.

Along the top, that’s definitely been glued then pulled apart.

Ah I’m bummed Ghazza possibly won’t be getting a model after all. Since they said each book will have “a” champaign, and it’s not until at least March at least.

Ooh, the Thousand Sons take center stage. Finally a reason to be excited!

Dark Angels will just get the basic upgrade then (rules plus maybe one character) as Sisters will be the bigger release next year. Orks/Wolves look to be bumped to 3rd book which is against the rumour mill. Tau one will maybe have Deathwatch too?

Looking forward to better rules for Dark Angels though, especially with the points drops that just got released too.

I assume Ezekial will get the Pimarus treatment like Mesty just did.

Let people play with your models on display? Maybe someone wanted a better look at the interior.

Azrael for DA? I doubt TS will get anything, CSM have just had a new Sorcerer model and there's not much more design room for them given they have Magnus.

Tau vs who? And who will be reimagined? Farsight is new(ish) isn't he? Shadowsun perhaps? She's still resin, right?

SW vs Orks must be the last one. As we practically know for a fact that Ragnar is getting re-done, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Orks get no new models.

Love everything about the ornithoptor, that's a model that sells an army right there.

I just hope the wings can be removed for transport and storage.

For DA, I’m fingers crossed for The Lion.

A forlorn hope perhaps, but a hope all the same.

Also, where the flipping heck are Fulgrim and Angron?

Hrm. Separated at birth?



Ramshakle games Ornithoptor from 2016...

I like the idea that the AdMech make normal stuff for everyone else, but for their own forces, they like to show off and have things that shouldn't work but because of AdMech magitech it does. That's why they have perpetual motion walkers, spider-tanks, hovercraft and ornithopters.

.

I'm clearly on on an island here, but that admech flies is trash to me. Doesn't look like anything that would be built by Mars. Maybe chaos, but not loyalists. Love the SoB stuff though.

Second this.

On the table they really aren’t even close to practical by any means, let alone getting them to begin with.

Im not trolling but why?
They have no bigger footprint than a baneblade or a an IK or a Gargant.
What makes them impractical?

The Baneblade is brick-shaped, which makes it easy to transport. Knights and the Stompa are less regular shapes, but they're chunky enough that they're not too difficult.

The Triumph is irregularly shaped, with very tall spindly elements which will take very little pressure.

If it had to be contained within a single base (which it didn't), it could have had the models on individual bases which slot into the larger display base like the Forge World character series models.
