Great concept/poor execution is such an issue for GW that it is sadly their modus operandi by this stage.

I thought the kits made different units. Are they just weapon options? Either way - 2 dual kits and 1 triple kit is a decent release in my book, the largest of any PA to date.

I think HBMC was just making it clear that there are only three kits, rather than the seven your phrasing had implied.
I think the jump infantry and "cavalry" are two distinct units - the flyer is probably three dataslates, but I could also have seen it as possibly being one with weapon options.

Pretty sure one flyer variant is a transport so probably at least two datasheets for it.

Flyer is three variants: gunship, transport, bomber.
Cavalry are two variants: Raiders(Ranger based unit) and Sulphurhounds(Vanguard based unit).
The flappyguys are two variants, of which one seems to be flamethrowers.

EHHHH, The issue is and was allready mentioned, with it beeing sometimes tied to special charachters only.
Also there were massive balance issues associated with it, considering jetbikes are still a mean word arround here for some.

Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?"
GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!"

You'd definitely need to balance it but that's the issue with GW - they drop and move on rather than balance. For example we had Formations in 7th that had potential to be a fun way of making your army. You give up some flexibility but all my space wolves can outflank and it's great. The problem was they had some that were broken and never tried adding a significant cost to using them but rather than, say adding points to balance them, they just gave up and went with CP and stratagems. Then they made traits, buildable traits and added more and more stratagems and we're not really better off than we were in 7th or 6th.

Also, don't forget that Jetbikes were always a troop choice since 4th I believe. So this is the first time in 4 editions that this changed. They didn't need some special HQ to be unlocked, rather GW deliberately made them super powerful.

Just because there's only potentially 3 physical boxes here doesn't mean that's how many datasheets there will be.
That's not how Admech boxes work. With the exception of the Onager Dunecrawler and Kastellan Robots, every single non-HQ box can be built as a minimum 2 datasheets.
Skitarii - Vanguard or Rangers
Ironstriders or Dragoons
Infiltrators or Ruststalkers
Dunerider or Disintegrator
Corpuscarii or Fulgurite priests
Kataphron Breachers or Destroyers
All dual kit boxes, 2 datasheets per box.
So Engine war book release schedule so far has to account for 7 units for Admech plus Imperial knights, chaos knights and daemons. Thats's a lot to cover.
I mean as far as the unit reveals go they probably will be more likely 1 box per reveal, but who knows what else they've got in store!

Have you played other armies? Every army has dual kits for pretty much every single unit. It's not some special Admech thing. GW can create 30 datasheets for a new unit if they wanted (and have with SM HQ) but that doesn't mean there are actually more functional choices. Just because a captain with a gravis armor and a plasma pistol has a different datasheet than a captain with gravis armor and a boltstorm gauntlet doesnt mean its "another choice totally different unit choice" that deserves acclaim :p

Engine War has to account for more than 7 units for AdMech.
We also do not have, in a book format, rules for:
-Skorpius Dunerider
-Skorpius Disintegrator
-Techpriest Manipulus
So Engine War will have to provide rules for:
-Skorpius Dunerider
-Skorpius Disintegrator
-Techpriest Manipulus
-Archaeopter Transport
-Archaeopter Gunship
-Archaeopter Bomber
-Serberys Raiders
-Serberys Sulphurhounds
-Pteraxii Carbines
-Pteraxii Flamers
In case anyone needs a refresher

Still not in a 40k codex, so thats not a reasonable solution for a unit that is in almost every admech list.

He actually has a "datasheet" however. Escalation included a softbook that has all of the heroes.
On the flipside, the Skorpius and Manipulus required you to cut up the instruction manuals.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe. |

Either way it's somewhat regardless, my claim was never that there were seven kits and that there are seven unit releases, which AFAIK there are.

I agree with you in that it seems a notable release; three multi-option kits is a significant expansion of options, even if the units end up being same-thing-different-weapon. And they are not just character clam packs or basic infantry either.

I thought the kits made different units. Are they just weapon options? Either way - 2 dual kits and 1 triple kit is a decent release in my book, the largest of any PA to date.
I think HBMC was just making it clear that there are only three kits, rather than the seven your phrasing had implied.
I think the jump infantry and "cavalry" are two distinct units - the flyer is probably three dataslates, but I could also have seen it as possibly being one with weapon options.
"Only" 3 kits? 3 kits with multiple options each is huge. Us Orks got 6 new buggy units for "Orktober" last year and that was considered a pretty major release. Ironically Ork players would've much preferred multi-build kits too.
Either way it's somewhat regardless, my claim was never that there were seven kits and that there are seven unit releases, which AFAIK there are.
You got seven distinct kits alongside your Codex release (can't forget the Workshop, no matter how much it is maligned). AdMech are getting 3 new kits, plus a probable clam-pack from their Kill Team set.
And your original post probably suffers from PAI vs. PAW:

That's very easy to read as seven kits, even if it isn't your intent.
