ETL IV is coming...


Recommended Posts

Hello, AdMech.  My name is Bill and I have been a TT gamer for 6 years.  I won a raffle at a tournament last week and my prize was Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus and 2 boxes of Skitaari troops.  The current plan is to collect a single Battle Maniple and a knight.  I have also been eyeballing a Warhound, but have been wondering if there are other admech elements from Forgeworld that are 40k legal.  There is no 30k community around here, so would not be interested in buying models that have no chance of making it into a 40k battle.

Hello Bill!

You are truly touched by His mechadendrite appendage - many of us are finding the Skitarii sold out locally, and you're off to a great start!

 

Mixing 30K and 40K is a case-by-case scenario.  Some metas have no problem with it, some (like mine) keep them as separate game systems.  Best to ask around before you start investing.  Forge World's Mechanicum and GW's Skitarii don't mix directly, but if 30K is an option to you there shouldn't be a problem allying them.  A Trios full of Vanguard is a very tempting sight!

 

Though, before you take the plunge with 30K's Mechanicum, you might want to wait to see what the next 40K AdMech release will bring.  That's slated to be revealed for pre-order next weekend.  You might find that that suits your purposes, or you might find that Mechanicum is the way to go.  Either way, best of luck and don't be a stranger!

You, my friend, need more Knights msn-wink.gif Nothing is as glorious as marching entire wall of righteous steel into the enemy lines. Have at thee, cowards! biggrin.png

With the coming Codex I will have IK as my sort-of main army. The other factions will be painted in their colours and represent a noble house.

What? You think it is cheap to have IK as your main army? Say that again to my big guns msn-wink.gif

Oh man, I am so happy. My logal GW store owner still had one Knight Companion book at the store. It was not supposed to be sold and sent back to Nottingham. However, he still sold it to me and proceeded to make something up as to why he wouldn't send it back, just because he knew how much of an IK fanatic I am.

Now I am sitting at my table with that big book and studying the livery and colours so that I can paint the IK correctly.

I feel like a noble, studying the history of his heritage in one of the ancient tomes of his house. Me gusta :D

The local shop is still d-weapon curious. I think the Eldar codex may help finally lift the d-weapons ban from our local tournament scene. That makes the knights much more tempting smile.png

Even better if they don't lift the ban. You can take the Crusader and not carry any D-weapons, while you'll be safe from them yourself...

Still a son of Mars if you're stomping around in a Knight though ;)

 

Last year AdMech was part of the Imperial forces with the Guard and I imagine that will also be the case this year. Both factions acquitted themselves with honour and I know will do so again in ETL IV!

I would imagine that Skitarii, AdMech and Imperial Knights are all included in the Mechanicum Strategum. That being said, last year Imperial Knights could be used for any Strategum. Mechanicum could also fall under the Age of Darkness Strategum - that seems to be where much of the previous population of this forum went to after the Skitarii were released. blush.png

The event officially kicks off on Friday , May 1st. The rules will be up by then, but I'll try to set up everything by tomorrow evening (Greek time). The minute your Strategium thread goes live the game is on!
