Subtle Discord Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 But, the bits box, it... hungers... and it has no limit to its appetite when considering the possibilities that AdMech kits provide. *nom nom nom* Mmmmore Mechanicus bits! Yes! *nom nom* More! *nom nom nom* Battybattybats and derLumpi 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 From youtube comments "Hmm. A bunch of soulless, humanoid machines bent on the elimination of organic life, with powerful weapons and technology that nobody understands vs. the Necrons? An interesting fight. " I think my stocks in red bathrobes are going to through the roof. Hypothetically speaking I think both sides could very well get new units. Both could use it and if I want to follow GWs previous success with these boxes, the trick is including discounted stuff we don’t want with one or two gems that won’t be available as stand alone purchases for months. I'll happily take more of anything. As well as agreeing about bits, having every weapon combination in a collection future-proofs an army for edition changes. And if it's more Rangers/Skitarii I'll use them for Secutarii. So anything is good for me model-wise. For me a big part of the excitement is the scenarios, the story, even the box art. Deathstorm really got under my skin that way. And there's also the possibility of tie-in fiction from Black Library and I'm always up for more Mechanicus fiction.

Charlo Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 New Knight revealed at LVO. From what I've heard about this box the Knight could very well be part of it. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/01/26/new-codexes-factions-our-heroes-and-more-breaking-news-from-the-las-vegas-opengw-homepage-post-1/ Battybattybats and Warpmiss 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpmiss Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Every day I'm waiting for this box more eagerly. :P Also, in the link it also promises a new Necron character! Crypteks are an iconic element of Necron lore; where other factions use warp-craft or magic to accomplish their goals, Crypteks help the Necrons accomplish their lofty aims of galactic reconquest through pure SCIENCE. This particular Cryptek is the first ever to be cast in plastic and features what looks like some new wargear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SB Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The only details I had were the word "walker" and "characters", but admittedly who said it had no idea if either were fully new. Replying after the Las Vegas Open reveal of the new Armiger Knight and updated Cryptek. Looks like your source is sound, thanks for sharing.

Battybattybats Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 In the box Wow! Ok so 2 or even more knights... I wonder if the knights will be the whole mechanicus force then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banis Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 So 2 mini-knights and a new character.. seems like a strange combo... Maby the new character is more of a mini knight character for codex knights.. And the box is actually knights vs necron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I guess there is no new AdMech character, just the necron crypto for them. No idea if there is any AdMech troops, I'd guess maybe not since finding out it's supposed to have two warglaives in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I guess there is no new AdMech character, just the necron crypto for them. No idea if there is any AdMech troops, I'd guess maybe not since finding out it's supposed to have two warglaives in there What? Two Warglaives are in that box? Wow. I'm getting 10 boxes so I'll have two squads of 10 Glaives (hopefully ObSec!) lol Wait a second... I just had a thought. What's the chance this isn't an Admech box? What if it's a Necron/Knight box set? This is based on rumour right? So I have to wonder if the person got it right. I think the Warglaives are smaller than a Knight which may make them more competitive (cheaper, and forcing difficult targeting options). They do have the appearance (legwise) of an IG Sentinel.

BitsHammer Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 If it's Necrons vs Knights perhaps the conclusion that it was Ad Mech related was seeing some of the models and the Knights were in Ad Mech house colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 The word "Skitarii" was used, instead of Ad Mech by my source. So probably be some vanguard in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Look at the pauldrons of the knights, on the side many knights have personal insignia on there's a Skitarii decal as would be seen on an Onager with unit number and Greek letter denoting maniple.

banis Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The boxed set is also rumored to be called.."the battle for mars" so we might be in luck yet:).. In the ealier leaked schedule there is a unknown boxed set to be released in may.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Two warglaives is what I was told. Things could have changed from the early lockups of the box set that were seen, so the source could be wrong. In which case I completely apologise for getting folks hopes up. But they were adamant it was 2. I'm hoping it is also, what with 6 knights and a fledgling necron army/conversion ideas for AdMech I'll love the box regardless. Here's fingers crossed until we know more Battybattybats 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banis Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hmm the battle for mars might be moving the storyline forward... and the resent "battle for something" didnt go all to well for the planets/ships in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hmmmm it's interesting they haven't painted them in the Martian House Taranis scheme, but then the ones in the box might yet be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeStinyFiSh Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 If there is a new character in addition to the lil' Knight I hope he is not tied to be Mars FW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorNese Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Two warglaives is what I was told. Well, GW doesn't usually announce all upcoming stuff that early. It would still make sense to keep alternate builds or other knightlings to themselves, to still offer something unseen for the actual release. We'll see...

hermanista Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 There's something coming called Forgefire, could be the name of the book.

Odds.043 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) AdMech Flying saucerNever even considered this as a possible design for an admech flyer, now I WANT IT MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE! On a different not, I'm super excited, cuz a friend of mine is just starting to get into warhammer and is playing necron. This box is gonna be awesome for both if us! Edit: an after though: what if the warglave is an Hq for admech? I know the consensus is that it's supposed to be a knight in training, but what if part of that training is leading some Vanguard around? Or maybe the admech versions are just tech priests that wanted a bit more "bulk." (as in, our version of terminator HQs is a miniature knight titan XD) Edited February 5, 2018 by Odds.043 Xisor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthaside Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 While that would be Stupidly awesome ... I'd never run that " flashlight wielding imperial guard reject copy and paste unit ever again ...I just dont see them doing it.Unless it was some kind of names character, like a crusading knight Armi princeps that buffed the other knights ...
