Charlo Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I can back up the rumor but have no details. I'd assume it would be a new character each, akin to other similar sets. N1SB 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPesci Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 If we do get a new character I actually hope it's not another "named" techpriest, but instead is simply a way of making a skitarri alpha.

MagicHat Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I desperately hope we get a new generic character, but it is doubtful that I will buy more mechanicus for quite some time. The backlog is... a backmountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SB Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thanks, Charlo. I saw discussion on this topic but didn't follow it, but even without details, is your impression that this is totally separate from Fires of Cyraxus please? It actually makes sense for GW to release a boxed set around March/April, btw, I'm just curious if there are crossed wires about these separate things.

Charlo Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 I would 99% assume will be totally separate, I think Cyraxus being rumored for the same time is a happy coincidence, the release will be centered around the 'crons. The only details I had were the word "walker" and "characters", but admittedly who said it had no idea if either were fully new.

Prot Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 That's such a weird match up... Necrons vs Admech. I'd love to breathe some new life into my Admech, but I'm afraid it would take quite the character to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's not too weird; Ad Mech go looking for STCs everywhere and often unearth Necrons. Not to mention the whole "THE VOID DRAGON IS WHAT CREATED THE MECHANICUM!!!" theory. Making that a realized truth certainly gives the two factions a solid reason to fight.

Tyriks Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 AdMech codex also mentions that Necrons have been hitting Forge Worlds like crazy lately. Makes sense to explore that a bit. Seeing as Necrons and AdMech are my main projects right now I hope this is true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xisor Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 How exciting! Purely on a personal level, it'd be lovely to see a named character who opposes Carl. Y'know, for being a blatant heretic and whatnot. <mutter grumble> ---- But I echo the idea it'd be cool to see some fleshing (err, bionicking?) out of both sides of the box.

hermanista Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I also know it to be true, think of it like Death Marque or Blightwar - though more like blightwar - existing kits with a new character for each. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'd love some Xenarites to salvage enough Necron tech for an AdMech Flying saucer to get added to our arsenal! Either way, more is more, so I'm excited. Xisor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sorry I didn’t mean weird for background. Just tome that’s lining up to be one heck of a lethargic matchup. Lots of shooting. Not much dying. So is this the dark mech thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sounds like this could be fun. I was a bit let down that the Codex didn't release anything other than Belisarius Cawl's rebox, hopefully this bundle will have something interesting. I'd like to see a generic Skitarii leader as others have suggested. Whether the "walker" part is a new unit or just an Ironstrider/Dragoon I don't mind. I could probably adopt another Ostrich of doom. Xisor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Mechadendrites crossed for Third Cycle of Calendar Year... happy for a low level character?....really happy for anything Ad-Mech TBH Cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Not to be a Debbie Downer but how confident is the source on the character? What’s the possibility this is just a a prelude to a new Necron release and they’re throwing some Admech stuff they can’t sell in the box? Trust me I miss working on and playing my AdMech but it really felt like they got a bum deal on the codex. Every time I look at the time I put into my Cawl I cringe. I wonder what the chance is this character would come with a unique dogma or something. + edit+. Hehe... I just realized the character talk is wishlisting. Personally, if we’re playing that game I vote for a flying transport! Edited January 24, 2018 by Prot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Prot - I felt that way at first but AdMech codex is actually great now. Some of our units are worse than before but overall it's a very versatile book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Ok I'm quite excited! Necrons attacking Mars has been a canon event since... 2nd edition I think it was. Sure I already have a plastic mountain to deal with but I'm definitely grabbing this for a character, scenarios and lore. Besides I admit I'd like a small amount of Necrons. Both forces have a walker, so either or even both is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpmiss Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Wait, wait, wait, wait. My two favorite non-Chaos factions, which I almost started collecting are getting a box... together??? *mind trying to compute this new information* Well, I guess after March I'll have a Chaos, an Imperial and a Xenos army then.

This is great news. But GW sometimes are very clever with getting the studio painters to create something just using existing models or a fancy paint job (look what they did with the Brother Captain Nemesis Dreadknight). So I guess we should be prepared for it to be just existing models. That said I'm super excited. Like I keep saying I really would love to use the army more. There's just such a gluttony of power armour at my store/groups right now. One friend I have is really wanting to start Necrons... I'll have to tell him about this news. I foresee splitting a few boxes! (Just please...please, no more vanguard!) Edited January 24, 2018 by Prot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicHat Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Prot, new characters are a reasonable assumption to make. The only dual army box that didn't have a new character in my recent memory was the Kill team box. RG vs Tau. BA vs Tyranids. DW vs Eldar. SW vs Orks. AoS Blightwar. Possibility of a let down is there, but I would be very surprised if that happens. Fire Golem and Prot 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This news combined with Adeptus Mechanicus fleets for the BFG: Armada sequel make me feel like I just nodded off and it's still Christmas.

" I think my stocks in red bathrobes are going to through the roof. Hypothetically speaking I think both sides could very well get new units. Both could use it and if I want to follow GWs previous success with these boxes, the trick is including discounted stuff we don’t want with one or two gems that won’t be available as stand alone purchases for months.
