Battybattybats Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I preordered the book and triumvirate via my local independent gamestore a couple days ago, guess no cool art-cards for me. Ah well, I take supporting my local store seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I am splitting a box 3 ways (hah) with two other blokes in my workshop just to get Cawl. Hopefully he will be worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I wish I knew anyone who played sisters or inq... I REALLY want Cawl but have minimal interest at best in the others. Hopefully ebay has him cheap, if he won't be sold separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempestBlade Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 eBay Tyriks for either buying just Cawl or selling the rest. That's my plan at least. I want to see what the formation with all 3 of them does first though but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be selling the other 2 and keeping Cawl.

Tyriks Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Yeah, I guess if the formation seems like fun (or just if prices are too high) I'll buy the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Video about Cawl up on warhammertv's facebook page https://www.facebook.com/WarhammerTVteam/videos/312742999120685/Includes the image with the units we were trying to identify that shows a little more. For a moment i was thinking the large thing behind him and to either side was stylised Dragoons.. but look at the one on the left above the Vanguard...

Ascanius Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If there are going to be new Adeptus Mechanicus models released as part of The Gathering Storm, I would like to see something like this Skitarii from the 4th Edition rulebook: http://i.imgur.com/U1y3vHh.png I just want that gatling-hand.

Battybattybats Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If we are wishlisting old art as new miniatures i want the techpriest with inbuilt chainsaw from Wil Rees 1st ed illustration Though i'm planning to just convert that techpriest myself.But sticking to the topic at hand, here is the new version of the artwork with the strange things behind Cawlhttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f250/supreme_martian_overlord/what%20is%20that.jpgNow the leg immediately behind Cawl resembles that of a dragoon, certainly that's a dragoon-style knee, yet there's no servitor slaved to the legs! And there's two red claws but they are two different types, not matching a dragoon unless there's a ton of license involved...Now look to the top left. Another whatever-that-is with the same or similar tall lanky dragoon-style legs, yet that is definitely no Dragoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds.043 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Is there any precident for GW completely hiding a model till the rules drop? Or are we speculator this is comming in a future gathering storm book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Is there any precident for GW completely hiding a model till the rules drop? Or are we speculator this is comming in a future gathering storm book? Not to my knowledge. What we're doing here seems to be mostly wishlisting, though if we want to do that I'd appreciate interested parties starting another topic, please.

Sawtooth Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Those hidden machines resemble some 30k models, which might go along with that rumor that more 30k stuff will be available to 40k Mechanicus. But that's sheer speculation at this point, which I'm trying not to do.On the subject of that picture, does anyone know the artist who created it? I love the style and want to see what else they've done, but I can't find a credit for the artwork yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting if the reason we have so few rules leaks yet is because GW is deliberately keeping things from us, but again, pure speculation.

Battybattybats Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 GW have revealed upcoming models in artworks before, both released: Gargoles, Lictors, Tyrannofex amongst others and unreleased but rumored to have been coming like the Tomb Kings Collossus. So something new and unrecognisable in an artwork can be significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this possibly be in fall of Cadia, or in a book farther down the pipeline do you think? Assuming it's a new model of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this possibly be in fall of Cadia, or in a book farther down the pipeline do you think? Assuming it's a new model of course. Ah well it varies. Gargoyles and Lictors first showed up in the art for the Advanced Space crusade rulebook, they first got models much later in the Tyranid release for Space Marine (the original Epic infantry/tanks/titans game that followed up adeptus Titanicus) and only hit 40k in 2nd edition with the first Tyranid codex. Sometimes it can take a while and sometimes things get shelved. Artworks had shown the Tomb Kings Collossus before End-Times and it's also shown up in some Age of Sigmar art and yet no release. I would usually have said a first appearance in art could mean something is a long way off. However, GW's art in recent times appears to be a lot more based on actual miniatures. Just looking at the Cult Mechanicus book for example and you can see lots of Kastellans and Techpriests in exactly the pose as the miniature suggesting a commissioned artist was given the miniature or a photo of it to base the art on. As such i don't think the wait for whatever this is is necessarily going to be so long. But, we haven't heard of any more mechanicus rules in this other than Cawl, so i'm expecting this may be in the next campaign book in the series, which going by rumour may just be a couple months or so from now.

Charlo Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 So it seems that from the preview video we can potentially gleam a few more things about Mr. Cawl: His weapon is a Beam. His personal Canticles are the ones that affect all armies of the Imperium, and it seems to be just vehicles. So no electrified conscripts :P Canticles mentioned are: Increased BS, Invuln Save, Repairing Hull Points and there are supposedly more. They also seem to change in effectiveness like normal canticles. His Arc Claw is like a version on the Breachers, but miles better. I'm excited :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to know if it's actually a beam, or if it's just hyperbole... and how his arc claw is "better"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vel'Cona Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Oddly, with the way his Canticles are rumoured to be written (confirmed?) it almost seems like he'll be better for IG/Space Marines (particularly Cadians/Iron Hands).

Intentional? I hope his Canticle helps everyone but gets realy strong with other Cult units... but I fear that exactly what you describe will happen.
