Mechanicus Rumoured Datasheets for 9th edition Codex

[Madao]

Well, although the box is disappointing (at least for me), then it confirms one thing - Enginseer is still an HQ choice for us.

 

EDIT: One more thing - I expect a larger hike in Power Levels - this box is 18-21 PL (in current values), depending on skitarii squad size (5 + 5 for PL6 vs 10 for PL5) and Breachers (PL5) vs Destroyers (PL7). It is a lot less than in other combat patrol boxes (and less than combat patrol games allow).

Hmm, GW kind of confirmed, that there are no major PL changes with

 

It features a Tech-Priest Enginseer, an Onager Dunecrawler, three Kataphron Destroyers (or Breachers), and a squad of 10 Skitarii Rangers (or Vanguard) – making a 20 Power Level force all for less than buying the units individually.

 

On one hand - it is good, that anything is more costly than it was [iF of course the article is true in the context of a new codex, which it might be not]. On the other hand - it is sad, that we get the first CP box, that does not contain a combat patrol :(. Especially if we compare it to the SM one released in parallel [31 PL, 50% more then the AdMech one].
