Carlson793 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Forgeworld has dropped the "nobody can read binary" hint for the new Skitarii upgrade kits. Any idea folks?

However after seeing the pictures of the planned skitarii upgrade packs this is pretty much a must buy for me.

Mechanicus Tech-Support Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 So its Mechanicum style Mechanicus, Tau and Red Scorpions right? Either the new IA or just the new upgrade sprues for skitarii that was teased a while ago...or hopefully both! But yes Mechanicum style mechanicus for the next IA book, with some changes what with the whole no volkite thing and that the robots have been mothballed for around 10,000 years so they're a bit....off Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325393-forgeworld-skitarii-reinforcements-inbound/#findComment-4487389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeStinyFiSh Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 My guess: Only the Skitarii sprues for now. The Code say Skitarii reinforcements inbound, nothing about crazy robots. Also the IA was rumoured for next year if I remember the input from the last Open Day correctly...

Charlo Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Rule nitpicks: Sarges only have 1W It's only re-rolling Armour saves... Not invln too, unless that counts as an armour save?

Battybattybats Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'd hoped the Hoplites be more or as useful as the peltasts as i love the minis for them much more and will prioritise them first.

Terminus Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Those rules are crazy! All haywire squad? Goodbye arc rifle vanguard. I am so excited for these guys you have no idea!

Arc Vanguard still have got a bigger range and higher S, I would not count them out.

dogfender Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 As nice as this is, still would be great if they could get around to releasing that rumored big ad mech book..

Terminus Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Those rules are crazy! All haywire squad? Goodbye arc rifle vanguard. Arc Vanguard still have got a bigger range and higher S, I would not count them out. Sure, but ideally you want them in rapid fire range. I would say Breachers fill the long-range arc role better, and Vanguard may just be for cheap blobs with their awesome carbines. Of course, we're about to also get that Mechanicum floating beastie with the arc rifle, so vehicles are screwed, lol! I hope the new book gives Mechanicum access to these guys, I would love to throw 20 of those spear dudes into a Triaros! Man, I am going to have way too many of these dudes. I've been trying to keep my Skitarii body-count low so they don't overtake my Guardsmen! So far I got 10 Rangers, 20 Vanguard, and 10 specialists (6 arc, 4 plasma). I'm probably gonna need at least one of each of these, and 20 Hoplites if the above Triaros thing happens. Yeesh.

Castellan Cato Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 So question for you guys on these experimental rules. The parabolic shot ignores LoS, but how does that effect scatter? Its not barrage, so scatter would still be reduced by the firer's BS, right?
