Stemplar Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Newbie question (brand new to Ad Mech): Are the Mechanicum models from Forge World useable in an Ad Mech army?? I think we lack in cool HQ choices and really love some of the models from FW. But will other players get all uppity about me including one or two?

Charlo Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Not yet, but there is a book coming next year that covers them :) But feel free to used the HQs as alternative dominus etc Stemplar 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342373-forge-world-models/#findComment-4960841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeStinyFiSh Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The next imperial armour is called Fires of Cyraxus and covers a Tau invasion on an old Forgeworld, so it will be Tau vs Ad Mech and Red Scorpion Marines. It was supposed to be released a long time ago, but thanks to new edition is has been delayed to next year.

banis Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Around this time...last year. I was about to order some 30k mechanicum but decided not to because.. Fires of Cyraxus was around the corner anyways..

Ishagu Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 All the cool robots and hopefully the transports will get rules. Could transform the army overnight. Imagine electro-priests in a transport for example. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342373-forge-world-models/#findComment-4964336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me is expecting all of the 30k units to be a seperate sub faction or potentially only allied to one forge world key-word for lore reasons... But hey ho, robots on stand by! banis 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342373-forge-world-models/#findComment-4964427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds.043 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Part of me is expecting all of the 30k units to be a seperate sub faction or potentially only allied to one forge world key-word for lore reasons... But hey ho, robots on stand by! That would sadden me greatly, especially after Cawl used a triaros in fall of Cadia... I really hope it isn't restricted to a specific forge world or subfaction.

Ishagu Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I don't think it will be. Existing armies that can take FW units have no such restrictions. And yes, I remember Cawl's Trioris also.

Yeah but they are in the IA: Indexes made to bring over people's previously legal collections. FoC will be fluff driven so there is sadly potential to be limiting. Hopefully it won't be though!

banis Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 This is the first real FW book in 8th so it is hard to guess what will happen. I could see the models being limited to the forge world in question. Would also be alot easier for them to balance. There are plenty FW models already that are already bound to a faction keyword.

Shinespider Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I can't even begin to imagine that happening. It's absurd - the Mechanicum range is larger than the Admech range. The idea of giving a single forgeworld more than twice as many options while denying Mars/Ryza/etc all of that is just mad.

Could be that forgeworld is limited in which models they could use from the normal ad mech codex.. like death korps of krieg. Also we only know for sure around 8ish units that will make the cross from 30k to 40k.. Could also be some are forgeworld specific and other like the secutarii are not.. But who knows really..all this is just guessing.
