Brother Immolator Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I've never truly understood why jetbike technology wasn't in use by the Imperium when they clearly possess the same or similar tech with other vehicles. I mean a landspeeder is just a bigger version of the bike and every ship that enters an atmopshere most possess some sort of anti-grav drive. So fluff wise I wouldn't have an issue if the unforgiven chapters had some small supply of jetbikes. Perhaps as a command squad or something. The problem with the admech,is that they are really good at copying and replicating,not actually creating. There have been instances where some spark of innovation has hit a magos and led to a breakthrough but there are also 100 more times that said breakthroughs were considered heretical and were burned alongside the magos. Also i have read in a novel i think,that the mechanicus considers STC pieces as is.If a modification is made its considered a violation of the 'holy bible of technology'.Exceptions like the LR crusader exist,but that comes either through political pushes or thorough testing to ensure the 'purity'of the design. Such tests might take a couple of centuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yesssss. Great news!!! I was looking forward for this one! Maybe replacing the head with a helmeted version would be within my modelling abilities - especially as he's going to be a Consecrators "Sammael".

timmytool Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Not sure if someone has already seen/posted this but Sammael is now available for advance order in finecast http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1160104a shame we can only buy 5 at a time :) the site has limited Sammael in fincast(maybe only in the au site bit still) "Due to high demand, each Citadel Finecast product is limited to five (5) per customer."

puck Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Notice also that in his little description they simple say a jetbike is "an ancient war machine from the days of the Great Crusade". [Puts on retcon helmet] here we go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vazzy Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Having labored over his metal incarnation because I feared the finecast was never to be made, I was somewhat unhappy at this turn of events. But its okay because I can buy Sicarius and turn him into one of us more easily now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
