AdMech already got their codex for 10E.

Those technically aren’t AdMech, and won’t be in the codex any time soon.

AdMech already got their 10th edition codex. that's where the stilt-leg skitarii came from

we already know plastic mechanicum is coming from the last reveals show so i don't think it's too absurd for it to be that

Ah ok, so not likely to be Ad-Mech then. Guess they could be Dark-Mech. That'd give them an army they could bounce between both 30k and 40k. Although there's not exactly rules for Dark-Mech in 30k (yet) apart from 2 special characters.

The scuffed up paint job is all that's stopping me from being convinced it's Mechanicum. They just don't use that style on the FW kits. Not to say that couldn't change for the plastic range. Guess we'll find out for sure in a few days.
Announcing Dark-Mech over Mechanicum would be quite the rug pull!

Mechanicum - we just need to wait few days for the confirmation for HH reveal.

You mean Mechanicum(30k).

The Mechanicus(40k) have that scuffing on a lot of the "cream" colored paint parts.

There's a chance for something AdMech related to come out via Kill-Team, but whatever these things are is likely Newcromunda or 30k.

Looks Dark-mech to me, claw and what looks like heavy weathering on the armour panel don't look loyalist...

All of these robots things are dirty white with extreeeme chipping which doesn't match any established Eavy Metal scheme.

30k Mech is likely-ish but my money is on weird gak encountered by Necromunda dead hive explorers..

It's quite close to the chaos knights aesthetic as well

Yep, surely did. I had both running through my brain and between it and my fingers the two got conflated.

I hate that the organization rebranded by changing an "m" to an "s", so I get it! Wasn't meant to be nitpicky or anything.

Nah nah, I get it. It's an easy one to cause confusion with and in a conversation such the current, the distinction matters!
I'm not sure I've ever heard in lore reason why it changed from Mechanicum to Adeptus Mechanicus. Certainly nothings jumping to the fore.

If the new Necromunda thing is a Warhammer Quest-type game, I could see this (and the servo skull and claw pics) being from the bad guy faction. Slightly corrupted, slightly corroded, all DEADLY!

I think the next Chaos Knight release will be a proper Tyrant kit, whereas this looks smaller. I'm going to go with a Necromunda mech.

It was covered in HH: Binary Succession audio-drama. Basically having an Adeptus title gave them both loyalist status, and power in the Imperium.

I'll be amazed if there is one, there are enough HH knights out now to pull them into the books and call it done for chaos and imperial.

While the front plate and back spike make me doubt, the structure of the leg itself looks really similar to the one from the Killa Kan kit.

I mean, they could break them up into 3:
-"Relic Knights" that go into AdMech, but can theoretically be taken as Freeblades/Spiky Freeblades.
-"Imperial Knights", which just really need their own version of the "War Dog" kit adding a series of variants to the Armigers
-"Chaos Knights", which just really need a Tyrant.

For what its worth, the heal claw has a similar claw on the Ad-mech robo-horses, so I would not call it sinister enough to be heretical.

Something about the guardshield looks like necromundas fondness of ribbed shield plates.

While a possibility, the Cerastus might remain with Imperial Armour due to being part of the Horus Heresy range. I can also foresee the problem of customer demand for Chaos versions of the Cerastus, should they add them to the 40K codices. At least for now, the only pressure from Chaos Knight players is a Tyrant kit...

I mean, we still share the Armiger kit for the Huntsman and Executioner, as well as the Despoiler, so it's not just the Tyrant.

It would be so much easier if they just released upgrade kits for the Armigers & Wardogs, but you can at least make a Huntsman from the Wardog kit.

I might consider taking this into another thread, as its a little bit of topic.

Rapier Scout Titan for LI/AT.

Yeah, whatever happened that guy, eh? All talk for years and still no show...

It looks like there is no engine solved by AoS box.

I think that Necromunda reveal is solving at least 4 engines.

I'm not sure it solves any, other than suggesting that they could well be the other Spyrers.

Claws and legs are wrong. Orrus suits have flat feet/hooves and round fingers.

this one wasn't a surprise


people were definitely calling this one, too


Automatically Appended Next Post:
these are the only ones that got solved, tho, unless it's something really subtle

Looks like I was overly ecstatic because munda's reveals. Yeah, they solved nothing :(
