40K Rumors: Imperial Robot Coming to Cult Mechanicus
Another awesome Cult Mechanicus Unit is revealed, straight from the Legio Cybernetica. Come check it out!
via Captain Citadel on 4-27-2015
Cult Mechanicus will feature a new robot type unit that is part Forge World Castellex, part Space Marine Centurion.
Their bodies are plated armour sealed in the front much like the centurions in appearance, but with no chest mounted weapons. They are on 50mm bases and are quite larger than the Centurion models. Their heads are a giant domed EVA helmet which looks quite fantastic. There are no organic components visible the models, they are automanta.
There are several armaments they come with; a larger calibre cannon in their right hand to flamer type weapon in their left. Articulated hands with finger appendages are also an option, as well as a top shoulder mounted versions of these same type weapons.
Full Mechanicus Roundup
OK, so putting it all together, so far we have:
Cult Mechanicus
– Fulgurite Electro Priests (CC unit)
– Corpuscarii Electro Priests (Shooty unit, combo box with the fulgurites)
– Magos Dominus
– Kataphron Destroyers
– 2nd Tracked Unit similar to Kataphron Destroyers, but assault oriented.
– Mechanicus Robot
Smart money says look for these after the new Imperial Knights…
~Hmm, I wonder if it will be an all new Robot design, or one of the “Rogue Trader” ones Forgeworld hasn’t done yet?
