Oh they’re beautiful, and some welcome mid-muscle to the Ad-Mech ranks.

I like those Hekatarii, although I'm usually not a fan of 40K Mechanicum.
Don't like the character, can't even focus on what it's supposed to be. I mean, it fits the faction, but it's not a good looking model.

The Hastarii pose reminds me of the old 90s Necron Immortals.


At the end it says "come back next week and bask in the shadow of armoured glory."

I'm kind of hoping its the rumors of a plastic warhound, but its probably a tank.

Why does Archmagos need toilet paper?

As pointed out, it's most likely the new Knight sized between Armigers and Questoris that's been rumored.

I’m not sure about the heavy Skitarii; if you slapped Ork heads on them and called ‘em Tinboyz I’d believe you.

The Magos is great though.

Tripods. Tripods or I shall drink heavily, and shout at someone.

Female Custodes, now Female AdMech

GW is sure trolling the fake-outrage wussies, lol.

And she’s got junk in her trunk. Archaeotech probably.

Her nose is still organic.

Female AdMech isn't something new, neither in fluff nor models.

Those new Admech are giving me real old school Necron Immortal vibes. Some nice convergent evolution

I really like the new boss-monster. Really leans into the Admech body replacement thing. And she has a suitably epic tactical rock

lol, i said the same thing.

You can really see the phasing out of Primaris as a concept in Space Marine 2. It's a huge plot point jumping from the tutorial to the main game but its quickly apparent that once complete, its just marines. There are no firstborn in the game past the tutorial and nobody refers to anything as Primaris. It's just what marines ARE now and to a certain degree, it's the size they've always been. There's definitely no desire to make Primaris larger than Chaos. They're just larger because traditionally the models have never been as large as they're supposed to be.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. That model is a complete mess and a total eye sore.

Fun stuff! Thought it was 30k cawl at first, because of all the design details she stole.

Valrak has heard a few more whispers about the new Imperial Knight....

- inbetween the Questoris and Armiger in size.
- a Heresy-era look
- bulk weapons
- a selection of melee weapons
- a counter to all this Chaos foolishness in the upcoming Eye of Terror campaign

I think it's deliberately so - especially the 30k-Admech units share some design clues with Necrons (both old and new) and the higher-ranking magi sometimes do as well. Most surprisingly, it's actually done in a subtile way, and thus not jumps-you-in-the-face evident, but stuff like certain curves in the vehicles,or the (additional) arms on this new character, turn up too consistently to be pure chance. It might be a self-reinforcing element now though, which is pretty meta in itself with the whole "Dragon's dreams" thing.

With the saturnine looking gun arm and large size, I plan to use her as an archmagos on abeyant for heresy.

Will these be releases as seperate kits immediately, or will there be a Mechanicus Battleclade box with the new kits box locked alongside some ruststalkers or something?

Now those are what I imagine skitarii units to be: inhuman hunched build, coldforged armor, gun-limbs - more space romans less space cowboy. Prob 3+ save.
Even have the little shoulder-mounted gun; granted if you don't like shoulder guns just give them a gun-skull companion somewhere instead. *or gun-faces.

The archmagos is...a little busy. Feels like when I can't decide which surface features to exclude so I keep them all.
I like the servo-skulls doing stuff but feel like those are the first things to break off.

Ah... cool guys. New infantry for Ad Mech is always welcome. I'm one of those weirdos that hates the robo-horses and stilt sniper, so my options are limited. I have mixed feelings on the fliers. I've been thinking of ditching the wings and tail for that of a 1/48 scale Apache.

The Imperium has lost the knowledge of how to use the three seashells.
