Legions Imperialis: The Rise of the Dark Mechanicum + Serperos ‘Overlord’ Heavy Stalker

[Burni]

Definitely sooner than I expected. The family will see this as an ideal Christmas present for me, the instant gratification centre of my brain will disagree with that. Who will win...

[Haranin]

both. you will will need two boxes at least for an army. so one from santa, and one now!

 

[Mendi Warrior]

I'm gonna be so broke ...

 

again ...

Wow the fact that these are getting rules for Titanicus is great!

Absolutely. I think we had assumed that the game was quietly going out of support so that is very welcome news.

Nooooooo!!!

 

It's meant to be next year.

Hobby Time and Money get tight from now, and the pile o shame awaits...

 

 

Edit: 

I mean, I'm not going to not get them, I haven't not got a crack problem. 

 

I've seen pictures of your hobby desk, you at least, you know paint stuff...

[Cactus]

I just noticed these all have 5 legs. That's new and interesting.

[DuskRaider]

My one question is… if these are meant to cross over to Titanicus, are the rules going to be in the LI book as well for faction-specific Strategems and whatnot, or are we to use the ones from the BSB? Obviously, these constructs have no Princeps or pilot, so I can’t imagine a lot of the stuff would pertain to them. 
 

Edit: also their equivalent to Maniples or Banners.

If there is more coming for AT (for example some Mechanicum Bots also joining to even it out) I could see a book release, otherwise it will likely just be a pdf on WarCom

I would hope it’s in print somewhere so that folks can have a physical copy of it. I doubt we’ll see anything for the Loyalists and I only say that because I can’t think of a single thing they would actually have access to (other than Knights and Titans).

Conspiracy Theory: releasing Dark Mech for AT right now is likely an indication the corrupted titans are actually going to get kits FOR Titanicus and Legiones. Probably with a book down the road.

Well, that would be fantastic (for me, anyway). It would be great to see AT getting more attention.

[apologist]

Yes; I was buoyed up by seeing that Adeptus Titanicus remains in the tabs on the new Warhammer site, too.

 

I'm interested to see how they handle releasing the AT rules for the Stalkers. The Terminals are apparently in the boxes; so that's the points and basic practicalities taken care of; but you'd still need information on how they fit into forces, or army building rules of their own. A book seems a straightforward way of doing things, but what else would it contain?

Corrupted Titan rules are already in the Traitors supplement... 

 

An off-the-wall suggestion – as these Stalkers seem likely to be more comparable to Knights than Titans, I wonder if we might see revised rules for Knights alongside these?

[DuskRaider]

This is my biggest question: how will they handle the integration of the Dark Mechanicum into Titanicus. It certainly takes more than just Terminals to make a force, and by all indications it seems as though these will operate very differently from Knights. 
 

On the subject of Knights, they certainly need some kind of boost. As I’ve said before, they never really fit well as a force in Titanicus and most of their weapons don’t lend themselves well to the game. You’d think they’d shine in LI, but even there they struggle. They need something.

Pre-order for the book, cards and Battle Group next week.

It is what I really appreciate the most out of GW preview shows. (This is meant to be ironical). What is shown is to be released ya!

No time to waste. No planning possible. Just run to the nearest shop.

 

Any how, lucky me who do not play LI, otherwise I would have turned traitor (and would have spent a lot) just for these...

and sooner than expected ...

[Burni]

Am I right that the terrain box is just 2x the Sector Mechanicus box?

 

Definitely in for an AdMech box, book and cards. Interested to see the price for the knights and titans and if they are limited release only.

3 times the Sector. There are 4 Containers in the Box and here are 12 shown.

[The Praetorian of Inwit]

Pre-orders have come sooner than expected. Good to see more content for the HH whether it's AoD or LI. Grows the community. Good chance that next year we see Dark mech in full scale too. 

[Dark Shepherd]

An all Knight force sounds interesting

There's also eight cranes shown but only two in each Manufactorum Imperialis box... so they're either changing the mix of sprues or it's a WHC mix up again ...

[vadersson]

I have been waiting for the Knight box since it was announced!  I only have the two Lancers I got in the AT starter, so this is a great way to expand for me.  Sadly I don't need anymore Warhounds, so the Titan box is less interesting.  If they would have used Dire Wolves instead I would be all over it.  Still, looks awesome.

[DuskRaider]

Damn, that was quick. I wonder when we’ll see the Dark Mechanicum constructs… hopefully not too long after this one. The cross compatibility with Titanicus makes them a more desirable option for me at the moment, though I intend to start collecting an all-encompassing Mechanicum force as well. 

[Taliesin]

Love the super quick turnaround! Interesting that they call it an in-depth supplement, lets see a table of contents please!

 

That Mechancium battlebox is one of the most incredible offers I have seen GW make it in the last few years.

 

Lets see what more is coming from Dark Mechanicum too.

There are only 3 containers per normal box so its 4x full boxes for this Sector box.

 

There is some discussion over on TGA from a person that got stuff right in the past that there will be quite a few additional LI kits shown this week (I'm assuming because they have rules in the book and they want to show them off before they get leaked otherwise) 

So Krios, Karacnos and maybe something else for Dark Mech?
