Battybattybats Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Large image so is in spoiler tags https://www.warhammer-community.com/2016/11/30/rumour-engine-november-30/Looks VERY Mechanicus to me!

Tyriks Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yeah definitely an AdMech silhouette, unfortunately that really could mean any imperial faction... Hope it is a new model for us to give us a little diversity! Even if it's just another option for a tech priest with no new rules, I'd be happy!

JeffTibbetts Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 You beat me to it, Bats! I'm 100% positive that's a new AdMech model. SO EXCITED! That likely means our combined book is finally happening as well. I'm trying not to start hyperventilating here. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328333-rumour-engine-possibly-new-mechanicus-teased/#findComment-4578026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 The cog key is the give away... I wonder what it could be - new character type model?

JeffTibbetts Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm assuming a new sort of HQ, since that's often asked for. Clearly some sort of lore master. I'm mostly excited about what else this means, to be honest, but I do love how delicately those fingers are gripping the key ring. Reminds me of adding a lump to a cuppa. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328333-rumour-engine-possibly-new-mechanicus-teased/#findComment-4578032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 It could be the new Datasmith rumoured ages back to come with the new robots (there was said to be one box to make 2 of the other old humanoid types and some said also another that made the plastic mantis like crusader robot).It could be part of the rumoured Flyer, i could see a Mechanicus pilot being more like the guy with the keys on the Mortis Engine.And of course they might be doing a unified codex or they might be giving us a role in a big campaign and putting a new releases rules in such a supplement.

TempestBlade Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Unified Codex! I would be so excited With the Start Collecting Box and now the new Battleforce Box it is only a matter of time. Please oh please let there be some kind of Rhino variant so my Vanguard wont get shot off the table if I don't get turn 1 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328333-rumour-engine-possibly-new-mechanicus-teased/#findComment-4578111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 You guys really so sure it's AdMech? This could be part of the TS release or something else Chaos related, as a reference to the Keepers of Secrets or the likes.

I don't know, man, the arm sure looks mechanical and the central key has the typical admech cog. But who knows.

JeffTibbetts Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I don't think there's any doubt it's Ad Mech. It looks like the ancillary arm of the Tech Priest Dominus or the T-rex arms on the Dragoon, and the hand looks an awful lot like the Chordclaws on Sicarian Ruststalkers. I don't really see anything chaos about this, or skeletal. The keys just seal the deal for me, as the middle one seems quite clearly to be a cog. I'm usually pretty cautious with my optimism but if that's not mechanicus or mechanicum I'll eat crow. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328333-rumour-engine-possibly-new-mechanicus-teased/#findComment-4578301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 If there is imperial agent releases in the pipeline how about it being a savant or logis that could work as an assistant to an Inquisitor? I suspect it is a Lexmechanic. It is their job to enter data into a central repository according to the old Codex Imperialis background. Being a keeper of knowledge would make the key both for security and a powerful symbol of office. Sadly, if that's true we might still have to sit tight for the Mk2 codex.

Tyriks Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Every Imperial faction is dependent on the AdMech and I could see several getting something new, which is why I'm hesitant to believe even though it definitely looks AdMech. Enginseers, techmarines, stuff like that.

Battybattybats Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 If it's an Imperial Agent like a Lexmechanic well fluffwise that's still part of the Mechanicus, miniaturewise it'd still be part of the Mechanicus and ruleswise could be included in a Mechanicus army.

Vel'Cona Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 My understanding is there won't be any new releases for Imperial Agents (or Chaos Legions, for that matter). Which is why I'm a bit suspicious about this being an IA release unless AdMech combined-dex is in the pipeline for January . . .

JeffTibbetts Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 We also have no idea how far in advance these new GW official teases are supposed to be. The other two teased items haven't shown up anywhere yet, and could be 6 months down the line for all we know. It's a fact that most models are 'finished' long before release. These are, by nature, very different than a White Dwarf leak, which always indicates something is coming within the next month or so. We're in uncharted waters, here. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328333-rumour-engine-possibly-new-mechanicus-teased/#findComment-4579160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger9gamer Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 It looked tsneechy at first, like a blue scribe or something, but I can see the mechanicus stuff in it now.  I hope there is a new book...

Tyriks Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Yeah. We really need at least something transport wise. It would make electropriests useful (though it'd have to be Cult or they'd have to start on foot anyway). Also as awesome as Onagers are, we need a tank for horde hunting. I would love an Onager variant with a TL cognis stubber on top and sponson mounted cognis flamers, or something. Â I really love playing AdMech but we need more options!

Battybattybats Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 When it comes to what we'd like, well i'd like a transport on legs if we get a ground one. And for a flyer an Ornithopter (there were rules for one in 1st ed with a conversion pictured) or something a bit flying-saucer-ish, mecha-jellyfish or floating skull-like (there are large skull-like ships in a picture in Shield Of Baal: Leviathan).As for this image, there's digitally-enhanced pics showing up that shows without a doubt the dominus-style shoulder, rivet-studs and joints on the arm like the Dominus and the Dragoon that would make it very bizarre indeed if this wasn't a Mechanicus miniature.
