General Strike Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Are there rules to use the Mecanicum units such as the Thanatar in 40k. Wanted to bolster my list without allies?

HackedDuck Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Not currently no. However the next IA book is going to include rules for them (definitely the thanatar not sure what else yet) as well as some new upgrade kits for skitarii.

General Strike Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Question, did the news come out, I haven't been able to find anything? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323968-30k-mechanicum-in-40k/#findComment-4444849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 They had secutarii upgrade kits for sale but as far as I can tell no news about what else will be in IA. They had a macrocarid explorator on display but that might just be for 30k. I asked on the news thread about it but no one has replied about it so I think we are just going to have to wait longer for info.

misterkho Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I think they pushed the releasedate back to the end of the year sadly enough.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323968-30k-mechanicum-in-40k/#findComment-4445071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackedDuck Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yeah the book will be end of this year/ early next year (I wouldn't be surprised if it came out for Christmas though). Also them upgrades are cool but expensive Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323968-30k-mechanicum-in-40k/#findComment-4445089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterkho Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 What was the price on them? cause i'd like to get at least 10 of each.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323968-30k-mechanicum-in-40k/#findComment-4445112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorNese Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Both are 23,50 each, upgrade set for 10 models. Only requires the skitarii torso/legs to complete.

Tiger9gamer Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Both are 23,50 each, upgrade set for 10 models. Only requires the skitarii torso/legs to complete. I'm excited for them! buuuut I am not excited to build even more skitarii vanguard (50 is enough for me) hmm, I wonder how easily it would be to kitbash them with Imperial Guardsmen. no rules? not even a smidgen? Please? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323968-30k-mechanicum-in-40k/#findComment-4445411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorNese Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Rules come as PDF when on general release. Kitbashing with guardsmen shouldn't be hard. My rangers are all made from cadians, only the head mount needs a bit of cutting (skitarii have marine-style neck, guardsmen don't). Everything else is spare skitarii backpack/arms/head, so the same as the upgrade kit.
