Sneakily Hidden Isstvan Collectors Edition pics & vid stills

Ah, this:

They call it "Isstvan Campaign Legions". Not sure if they'll provide artwork for all of them, HH - Betrayal had none, but that would be awesome indeed.

And people question the Carcharodons' Raven Guard Lineage...

[Dosjetka]

THERE'S SIGISMUND AND ALEXIS! OH THE JOY!

EDIT: Well said, Heinrich

[Sevatar]

Sisismund has rules. Watch the video! His rules are awesome.

[Praetor of Calth]

Ok so we can actually work out what will be in the new Mechanicum list from the organisation chart shown in the vid.

 

The Autokrator

- Ground Armour (Mechanicum Land Raider and New Unit: Krios Battle Tank)

- Pioneer Force (Thralls can represent them.)

- Mobile Artillery Units (Legion Artillery Squadron)

- Tech Guard Regiments (Hmmm...)

 

Maerotechnica

- Enginseer Covenants

- Tech-Thrall Combat Units

- Macro-Machina

- Ordinatus  Locus (A new Mechaicum Lord of War? Doubtful at this stage.)

 

Lacyramara

- Indentured Labour Unit (Again can be represented by Thralls)

- Adesecularis, Modified Troops (Thallax)

- Bio-Alchem Cadres (Considering this links to the Battle of Paramar I wouldn't be surprised to see a new unit here.)

- Techpriest Lacyramean Covenants

 

Munitoria

- Servitor and Drone Cohorts (Can be represented in the Enginseer Auxilla, but hopefully we'll get Servitors as a separate troops choice.)

 

Bonded Cybernetica

- Battle-Automata (Castelax Battle Automata)

- Siege Automata (Although this is technically the role of the Castelax, the video implies there will be new Cybernetica units in the book, and I heard on the forums that Forge World wanted to do the "Iron Circle." Creating a variant of the "Colossus" pattern automata would allow them to do this. So I'm guessing; New Unit: Colossus Siege Automata

 

Associated Orders

- Myrmidion Cults

 

 

So from all that I'm going to say the new Mechanicum list will look something like this;

 

HQ - Magos Dominus

Elites - Colossus Siege Automata, Enginseer Auxilla, Bio-Alchem Cadre and Myrmidion Secutors

Troops - Servitor Cohorts, Thralls, Castelax Battle Automata and Thallax

Fast Attack- Avenger Strike Fighter, Lightning Primaris Fighter and Legion Sentry Guns.

Heavy Support- Mechanicum Land Raider, Krios Battle Tank, Legion Artillery Squadron and Myrmidion Destructors.

 

Just speculation of course.

That picture of Kaedes Nex alone makes me want to do Raven Guard....

[Marshal Rohr]

Was that Sigismund or Polux in the video!!!!!

[Emperor's Furor]

Alexis Pollux can reduce his attacks down to 1 (not including charge bonus) and deliver power fist attacks at initiative step as his power fist loses unwieldy, that sounds pretty epic.

[Cactus]

That's some good speculating Praetor, but you forgot the tarantula sentry guns as fast attack choices. Assuming they follow the same pattern as the Ordo Cybernetica list in Massacre.

[Praetor of Calth]

Thanks Cactus, I'll add those in now. :)

[Greyall]

Was that Sigismund or Polux in the video!!!!!

 

It was under Pollux and, well, its expression was more in line with Pollux's demeanou.

[Cerbero666]

OMG this is awesome! I can't wait to have this book in my hands. Those Imperial Fists, and the AL, and Nex, and the IW...I just hoped to be there a pic of Sigismund, but well enough anyway.

[Marshal Rohr]

I'm on my phone, can some screen capture the pages from the Alan Bligh vid and post them here?

[Iron Hands Fanatic]

Note: edited the formatting on the 1st post to structure into separate books, will take a look at the vid to start making stills 

[Balthamal]

Confirmed: It's available at the Open Day Sunday, I'll post the bits and pieces everyone wants come Monday (I won't be home till late Sunday so be exhausted by then, damn 4 hour drive)

[DuskRaider]

I'm kind of disappointed there's really no goodies in the new book, aside from the Falchion. I was hoping we'd get more options. 

[Sevatar]

I am gutted the Morlocks and Pyre Guard are not there. Neither Santar, either. A bit disappointed to be honest

[Sevatar]

The Legion Falchion is in there, too

[Iron Hands Fanatic]

Video Stills:

I don't suppose any of you fine ladies & gents know of a way to fullscreen the video without downloading it to remove the 'letterbox' settings & link bars at the top & bottom of the screen? It'd probably only add a 1/2 inch of pic, but it might be worth it

[depthcharge12]

In the grim darkness of the near future....there's no money in my wallet

[DarKnight]

Iron Hands Fanatic, you are truly a King amongst men. Glory to the Iron Tenth!

[Xin Ceithan]

Thank you so much for this. I 'll Need some time to laugh maniacally and process all this sweet stuff

[NiteOwl]

This is to much! What can one man do against such a reckless release?
