[Kirsten]

all those look awesome

[Mr Mystery]

Yup.

Loving the Solar Auxilia.

[Kirsten]

love the leman russ turret, same sort of weapon as the legion glaive I am guessing. transport looks awesome too

[Brakkart]

Yeah that's a Volkite weapon of some sort on the turret. I'm loving those battle robot things in the first picture.

[YorkNecromancer]

I can't believe they made an updated version of the old 1st edition Crusader-class robot that looks good!

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f262/SGM-Daly91/Warhammer%2040K/CrusaderDescription.jpg

Jes Goodwin (Jes Goodwin!) tried, and even he couldn't manage it.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f262/SGM-Daly91/Warhammer%2040K/Crusader-update.jpg

AdMech are now officially the best looking, most exciting army in 40K. RELEASE AN OFFICIAL 40K CODEX AND PLASTIC MODELS NOW!!!

[Arkhan Land]

Stoked for more robots, hope they get to my personal favourite the collosus. cool stuff all around in those pictures, that floating tech throne thing looks awesome

[Ben_S]

I like the robots; they remind me of old-style Chaos dreadnoughts (a la Space Crusade).

[Kirsten]

more pictures! I demand more!

[energongoodie]

I'm gonna need a lottery win.
This stuff looks great :)

[Mr Mystery]

Yus, m'lday.

Kerpow.

[Kirsten]

well done

[Mr Mystery]

I am well trained and know my place

http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii588/FluffyFeathers7/hollybed.jpg

:p

[Kirsten]

glad to hear it

[Mr Mystery]

Think a Mechanicum army for me, with Solar Auxilia to provide numbers.

Yes.

What's that? No, shut up wallet.

[Mr Mystery]

It's a mother flippin' Volkite Knight yo! Well, certainly looks Volkite yes?

[Kirsten]

oooooooooh The Claw!

[Mr Mystery]

Pintle mounted Graviton Gun on that side too.

Wonder if the pintle thing above the Volkite is more dakka, or perhaps some shield strengthening doodad??

[Kirsten]

well you wont need your wallet any more. you wont have anything left to keep in it.

[Mr Mystery]

Well quite so!

Reckon that'll be a popular kit as it is, just for the Mechanicum stylings for the plakky Knights.

[Kirsten]

on that second pic of the two knights, what is the one facing away armed with I wonder? it isn't the volkite cannon

[Mr Mystery]

Just what I was thinking....

Not sure I've come across a photo of that one yet. Though having said that, seems to be the following on...

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/FW/HomeRotatingBanners/magaera-bnr-eu.jpg

Appears from that photo, and the top one on my previous post showing the Volknight, to be armed with a Krios Lightning Cannon?

[Kirsten]

aah yes, that one. so the volkite arm is a new one again on top of the two already teased, that red one and the green

[Mr Mystery]

Dead excite for this stuff!

Nice to see non-Marine stuff for the Heresy. At least Inquisition and IG get new toys.

[Kirsten]

I hope there are more Riptide pictures knocking about somewhere

[Mr Mystery]

That I can't do....

But this...

11054

[Defenestratus]

I really hope that I'm not the only one sick of seeing the never-ending line of 30k (a game nobody plays) minis and knights coming out of FW. Seems that FW promised that 30k wouldn't cause a delay or slow down in their existing production lines.

[Kirsten]

clearly people collect a lot of it.

[MajorNese]

I really hope that I'm not the only one sick of seeing the never-ending line of 30k (a game nobody plays) minis [...] coming out of FW.
Well, that stuff does sell, as this (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/July_2014_Top_10.html) or this (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/May_2014_Top_10.html) could indicate.

Bad for those more into other armies, but FW found a gold vein with something most 40k fans wanted for a long time.
Personally, I'm waiting for the Alpha Legion stuff, that should be quite close...

[Brakkart]

Just because you don't play it and apparently nobody plays it near you, does not mean that nobody plays 30k. My local games club have quite a large 30k league going on currently.

[Gideus]

My group now almost exclusively plays 30K as well

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

The Heresy kind of stands on it's own as something more innovative than the "current" 40k universe, which seems more derivative of other things (I dont see anything bad/wrong with this though!) and so may look less interesting for some people.

I myself definitely prefer the Heresy as a setting, I find the technology of the imperium is more appealing and looks a lot better and as I dislike humanoid/bug aliens, there is a lot less of that in the Heresy setting. I could also see how it might appeal to Chaos players that favour specific legions sinde FW actually does unique units, upgrade packs and has made the effort to differntiate them both visualy and rules-wise.

As for the models themselves, I really dig the Mechanicum stuff, the HQ's look really weird. I much prefer the cables dragging along the ground to legs, makes them creepier and weirder imo.

[Xaric]

hmmm that head of that robot mech one with the mounted gun on its back looks the same as a chaos IK

[Mr.Pickelz]

If Thousand Sons are coming, that means Space Wolves are getting closer as well. Yay!!! :D

[Kirsten]

hurry up with my Riptide pics, don't make me get the beating stick out...

[Haighus]

Hmm, interesting, looks like the Solar Auxillia could be following a more British style of organisation- they refer to the flamer unit as a Section. I wonder if they will have Corporals leading squads.

Well, as someone that has dropped 40k in favor of 30k...I don't see a problem. A majority of FW releases were all ready Marine focused. And pretty much everything 30k can be used in 40k (either as a relic unit or added bits).

That promise was also made when they thought they were only going to do 6 books...

[Arkhan Land]

oooooooooh The Claw!

Brings back all sorts of memories of wasted arcade quarters

[Dvastator]

Stoked for more robots, hope they get to my personal favourite the collosus. cool stuff all around in those pictures, that floating tech throne thing looks awesome

Heck yeah! I can't wait for it!

[CoffeeGrunt]

hurry up with my Riptide pics, don't make me get the beating stick out...

Seconded! I heard that it was on sale with rules available. Quit with the knights and show us some real mechs!

That said, I am very, very excited to see a Leman Russ with a Volkite main weapon. I think that'll be a purchase on release, and that presumably superheavy tank looks pretty intriguing!

[Kirsten]

yeah, supposed to be on sale, but no pics?

I think the large tank is a transport rather than a super heavy personally, but I may be wrong.

[DWest]

It's a Malchador hull, the "light" superheavy of the IG, but then again the Spartan (a regular tank) is built on the hull of the Typhon (a super-heavy), so it could go either way.

[Kirsten]

true enough

[Mr Mystery]

I was thieving the pics off a 30k Facebook feed, who got them from a 30k specific blog, so unlikely to be pics of fitlhy future Xenos rustbuckets :p

I have however double checked, and am unable to dig anything up.

[CoffeeGrunt]

I find your lack of Battlesuits disappointing. They've been teasing this baby for months, and man does it look pretty.

Someone on ATT has bought it and is currently assembling it, but was scared to post pics in case of copyright. The Ethereals arrived and...convinced him, so hopefully he will be more forthcoming with pics I can post on here.

All for the Greater Good, of course.

[Lord Manton]

What are the Solar Auxilia?
They look awesome. I'm seriously thinking of getting some Mechanicum stuff and painting it up Dark Mech style and sending them in with my Iron Warriors.
Any news of Perturabo?

[CoffeeGrunt]

I think Solar Auxillia are basically Heresy-era Guard.

[Mr Mystery]

Yup, that's my understanding.

Still haven't got Books II and III, so can't confirm further (even if they're in there!)

[energongoodie]

The imperial army is yet to make an appearance in the Heresy era rule books.

They've gotta be next up though right?

[CoffeeGrunt]

Y'Havra pics in the linked site, as well as some details on the kit further down. Seems the mystery right arm gun is a sort of Ion weapon, though no details yet on what it plays like:
http://www.advancedtautactica.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=22821&p=286432#p286432

It's very pretty and damn intimidating. My wallet is gnawing itself away in fear.

[Brother Garrod]

As far as I'm aware, the imperial army is slated for release in book IV.
Whether it actually is in the book or not, we'll have to wait and see.

[Kirsten]

Y'vhara looks awesome.

given that the imperial army models are starting to come out, I am sure rules must be in book four.

Blimey. Is it's main use just sort of landing on opponnets?

Can we call it the Frogger suit?

[CoffeeGrunt]

The speculation about it being an FMC is interesting, and a very unique thing to bring to Tau. I think with Jetpacks that size, it kinda earns it!
