There's been nothing to substantiate this at all. The FW guys have said they'd like to do one in the future, but to expect it as soon as IA 12 would be expecting a whole lot.
Can guarentee that IA12 isn't AdMech (unless FW change their minds)
IA12 is "The Morros INcidient" and is based on penal legion guard, Minotaur Space Marines and Tzeentch chaos (guard, marine + Demon)
Confirmed at the FW seminar at UKGD
Yup, no chance of AdMech in IA12 at all.
With -any- luck there will be bonus/easter egg grey knight unit, something to make it possible to make interesting and not repeating spammy army that you can actually have a chance of winning :P ...although one can only hope :(Quote:
--Tzeentch chaos (guard, marine + Demon)--
As a guard player aswell though, any idea what kind of army one can form from penal legions? I mean, do they even have access to tanks / support vehicles and weapons? Or will there be just FoC full of penal legion squads :D
Whenever we see something "official" about a Warlord titan, that's when an AdMech IA will likely come out. As of now, most sources say that's waaaay off (I'll guess IA18 or 19. Write me down in the betting pool for that)
I asked about the Warlord Titan at a Forge World seminar at Gamesday. 1.5 - 2 years away I was told.Quote:

We don't need a totally new niche army. There already is one in the form of Sisters. I'd be happy with a recreation of Sanctuary 101 with Necrons vs Sisters. That would be cool even if the Sisters lose in the end. Some serious FW love for Necrons and Sisters would rock. We coudl get a special Necrons character or two out of it along with some cool new Necron units along with maybe a flyer, a new tank, and a special character for Sisters. They coudl do some great APOC formations to go along with them too.Quote:

I'm not sure why SoB being a niche army (I'm not even sure what you mean by that) is at all relevent to what F would do, the FW and GW design studios are entirely seperate.
hmmm necrons and admech.... could be big, cause likely they'd both be going after some huge artifact.
Its a niche army becuase its not really supported and not very many people play them as an army. The Fortress Convent had more than a Commandery I imagine given its designation. My point is that it would be nice to get some supportfor them in the form of an Imperial Armour book. There are a lot of cool things that FW could do for them.Quote:

Well after the abortion of a WD codex, I have little faith that GW will do anything constructive, so I'm hoping for some FW love. I'd love to see some Apoc stuff for Sisters as well from either group. I know we got 2 formations from FW already which was good, but I want more. Even DE and Necrons have tons more stuff by comparison and that was before their new codices.Quote:

Sisters have always had more FW stuff than Necrons and DE do PUT TOGETHER
I wouldn't call the alternate Immolator and Exorcist kits a complete tank myself. They're more like fancier versions of Rhino door kits. Besides, you have to admit, nothing the Sisters have really compares to the scale of the Necron Pylon.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. The total (FW and GW) Apoc stuff the Necrons have far outweighs what Sisters have which is 2 formations from FW period and 1 specific stratagem (which now does nothing) fromt eh Imperium ones. Necrons by comparison have 7 formations, 1 superheavy, and 3 race specific stratagems. DE Eldar have at least 4 formations and 3 arce specific stratagems. I am somewhat shocked that GW has not produced more formations for both races since their upgrade. It is a bit early for ENcrons to receive I suppose since the codex just came out.Quote:

No reason to assume they won't get a decent print codex eventually. The last three 40k books have been really well balanced so I don't see why a new SoB book wouldn't be good.

Just beofre christmas (although cutting that a little fine now) or very early next year. The Phoenix lord and Titan CCW mark th elast of the models that are in he book we hadn't got yet (as far as I can tell) so should be very soon
Cool. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to it. It'll be my first IA (assuming I can manage to find a way to track it down from Arizona).Quote:

Whether that will be within the next three to four years? Who knows, we keep dreaming...
From what I know, they've been wanting to do ADMech stuff for a while, but don't have any plans for anything yet. If they do it, I get the feeling they want to do them as a standalone force rather than an add-on for say Mariens or Guard. Creating a whole new army would be a big challenge for FW and a step up from what they are currently doing, hence why I don't think anything formal is happening yet.
The last I saw them say on the subject was that it was on their 'wouldn't it be cool if we did this' list, if work has advanced to anything more serious than that they aren't talking about it out of the studio yet.
