Pre-orders this week include the Blackstone Fortress Expasion that includes the Admech unit and his humble friend the servitor. Both will have 40k rules included.

Yeah, if that servitor becomes a character it could be quite interesting - an untargetable heavy weapon? One that's actually more useful than UR-025s, and doesn't require CP to work?

Count me in.

 

No idea what the priest guy is intended to do exactly - there are apocalypse rules already included (in Agents of the Imperium, BSF Explorers), stating that the priest has a 12" eradication pistol and the servitor has a grav-gun (18", heavy), but there's no indication what their rules might be except for the guns.

I guess we can hope he's a middle ground option HQ the Manipulus was supposed to fill ,  In my dreams he in some way buff's servitors .
however in realty following the other blackstone rules , he will have the keyword  <Adictus Macandcheesium>  forcing us to spend a CP to take him whilst being an elite choice with a terrible weapon.

I'll be getting the box , as i have also been starting a traitor guard force for my fledgling chaos forces , we can hope that the rules start doing the rounds soon.

The preorder says it's a technoarchaeologist - maybe he's got some rules for the omnispex-like scanner, or the servo arm with the mini arc claw. Doesn't sound very powerful, but we take anything we can get.

 

At least his design is 100% AdMech, which should give us AdMech rules (Canticles) unlike the guy from the rogue trader squad. The Starstriders' priest had the right keywords for some of us (AdMech and Mars), even if his design was, besides the Opus Machina, nowhwere near the regular AdMech design. But no Canticles, ergo a no-go.

At this rate with HQs and AdMec I will take "Different" over "OP". Really want another Force Multiplier though other than Cawl so we have a reason not to just use Mars.

Here's the Secret  @black_knight ..... Just dont use mars ....  Greedy Martian Traitors ... they ruined mars ..... #FreeTheDragon... cough.  * sorry spot of malware in the vocal processor*

The more i read into it think he's gonna be an elite , who buffs kataphrons ... and servitors ... which is the ONE slot i think we actually have enough units in >.<

Bestill my cold mechanical heat pump

 

Plus one to hit a target within 24 .....for your whole army exceptional ... Join me in praying that the keywords line up .

Whole army within 6" of him. Possibility to get +3 to hit on kataphrons and +2 on dakka bots with strat support

Sounds almost auto-include, depending on points.

Transforms anyone nearby into AA units, or saves points on BS buffs in order to counter -1 armies or make overcharge safe. Especially for servitors, this becomes a default BS3+, reducing the need to spend CP on buff and maybe even the specialist detachment.

 

Or put him in a transport, and get him up the field with blobs of plasma vanguard. Safe overcharge for anyone, enough to drown their designated target in the concentrated enlightenment of the Omnissiah.

 

24" would be too short-ranged for our backfield dakka, but servitors and skitarii do sound like prime targets...

 

1. Does it stack with elimination volley?

 

2. What are his keywords?

 

If it all lines up, this guy could be a NASTY addition.

1. Yes, all are cumulative.

 

2. AdMech is given (since his abilities clearly say so), but I fear that he may have Mars too. Named characters are rarely not locked to a specific sub-faction, even the electro enginseer from the Rogue Trader killteam has Mars keyword (even if he doesn't have Canticles or is painted that way). On the other hand, his rules shown so far do not restrict it to any specific forge world, only to keyword AdMech.
