Black Knight Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Not sure if we had a name before but its called the Skorpius Disintegrator. It is described as "Heavy firepower" and as we already knew it is a dual kit with the Skorpius Dunerider. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/06/16/pre-order-preview-bring-on-the-apocalypse/ Magos Takatus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 It looks like they may form part of a few Magos' vows for this years ETL. Considering how much this transport is in demand our part of the forum may end up looking like an oversized parking lot. That Admech boxed force is a bit unimaginative, isn't it? Six robots and a Dominus? I am very tempted by both that one and the Ork Dread Mob. This is very bad. My wallet is already regretting the stupid purchases I haven't even made yet. :p jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yeah the box is tempting but very impractical, most of us have some bots already. Do any of us need another 6?(There will be someone :P) As someone also said in the main Apoc thread, if the box savings doesn't put it below what the box would be without the Dominus, it really isn't worth it. How many Dominus do people have now. I have three and I only brought one Start Collecting. The carnage of a parking lot, all those hover tanks bumping off each other. It will be like bump carts at the fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigart Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I’m considering the box. I don’t need another dominos or the data priests so i’ll Need to see their price. But I have 4 bots already and 6 more, while a tad excessive would fill out potential plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BolterZorro Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Already have 6 robots. I won't buy this box, nore I won't buy anything Admech until I see the datasheet of the new tank and the new transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr13 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 According to a post in news and rumours, the new tank/transport is going to be 110€... bit on the expensive side... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) According to a post in news and rumours, the new tank/transport is going to be 110€... bit on the expensive side... :/ A bit? One can buy 2 Defilers or 2 Land Raiders for that price. What the hell would justify such a steep price... Sure it's a dual kit but it's not that big and has almost no options (2 guns for the tank variant and that's it). I found the post (by Valrak) and it was edited, it's actually 45£/60€ and not 85£/110€ for our transport. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QnJmcwSwaCE8pahF0-EbegiMeKBKfGLX/view Still a bit expensive but not stupidly so.

Midlight Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 May want to recheck the rumour thread. There was some miscommunication. Now its saying £45 instead of the £85 from earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Everyone calm down, everything is alright we are no longer being threatened with £85 for a :cussing transport...

Prot Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Even with the price corrections I can say in Canada if I use the U.S. pricing, I won't be able to buy as much of this stuff as I hoped. I was thinking 2-3 of the Skorpius, and 2 of the new Repulsors but since that's looking like the equivalent of 2 months of actual vehicle (my car) payments, I'm going to have to rethink it. I guess we'll have to see the rules really. The actual box sets hold zero appeal to me. At least with the previous bundles you got a unique figure and a feeling of significant savings. The Transport looks great, but I'm thinking it's a 100 CAD which is incredible really. I really hope I'm wrong about that (75 US = 100 CAD). That's more expensive than a Landraider here.

Black Knight Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 They say its £45 now, is that really 100 CAD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 They say its £45 now, is that really 100 CAD? Well it's more like 75 CAD, but the pricing is usually based on USD, and the UK pricing has always been typically far cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoldenThrone Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 They say its £45 now, is that really 100 CAD 45 GBP is about 75 CAD. But the price is also listed as 75 USD. I doubt GW would make the CAD and USD the same, as this would cause all the US buyers to jump to Canadian sellers. Currency shenanigans. My speculative guess is 90 CAD.

Looking at similarly priced minis in Europe then in Canada, the new kit is barely more expensive than the Land Raider (89 CAD) and same price as the Primaris Heroes (90 CAD).

Mechanicus Tech-Support Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It wouldn't be using the actual conversion rate but the "GW Conversion" rate. Also keep in mind that the 90 CAD would be before sales tax, judging by the tax in my province I'd be paying about 100.80 CAD .

Prot Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 So guys at approx 90 CAD I’m not sure if I’m buying these or the Primaris ta k as it’s a big release week. We know a little bit about the Primaris tank (firing twice, etc). Aside from this vehicle having 2 variants , and one seems open topped, domwe have any other speculation? Do the guns on it indicate what kind of firepower we’re looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 All they have let slip with the tank variant is "Heavy Firepower" and it has a cute little heavy stubber on the main turret with two guns on the side that look like more heavy stubbers. Transport again looks like two heavy stubbers on the sides but the rear turret may be Phospher or again stubbers. Also as you mentioned open topped. Apart from that we have nothing so far but hopes and dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 OOh I just realised depending on whether this new tank fits Heavy or Fast Attack, I will be painting it either Red or Black, excitement escalated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BolterZorro Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 On front of the tank, there are some kind of missiles head, aren't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorNese Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 On front of the tank, there are some kind of missiles head, aren't there? Considering it's looking like a boat, I'd rather call them "air torpedos", but yeah. Still, there hasn't been a single indication on the rules, besides the stubbers probably being stubbers. Just wait and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) "Air Torpedoes" Forge World approved. It would be nice if they had a frag/krak effect. I'd imagine you could shoot 2 a turn from what appears to be two banks of them. The part I'm curious about is how it will change our lists by having an open topped feature. The Vanguard/Ranger are so soft and squishy. In a way it reminds me of what I see at tournies with Deldar Venom spam. I highly doubt we'd be able to pull that off but the idea of having a semi-robust open topped vehicle for something does really appeal to me. I'd love to put 10 Corpuscarii priests in it for example. I wouldn't mind using Rangers with Plasma, but I'm assuming overcharging would be a thing and the triple plasma would last longer in a boat.
