The big questions regarding Adeptus Mchanicus are WHEN and WHAT.  Here’s the latest you Martian fanatics!

From the Birds in the Trees:

Some early tidbits on Mechanicus units:

– Legion Cybernetica units have a certain quick and easy “programming” game mechanic built into them.

– Examples listed were only being able to define certain aspects of moving and/or shoointing directly, with some aspects being determined either in a pre-defined manner, or randomly.  thus some of your Ad-mech units may not be “wholly” under your direct player control.

– There will however be certain pieced of wargiesr and or “controller” units which will get around these limitations.

 

So, for those who remember, there used to be an entire programming language you would use to define the behavior or robots back in Rogue Trader, so there might be an homage watered down version of it coming back with any new Adeptus Mechanicus army.  Already in the 30K Horus Heresy rules, there are certain units and controller pieces of wargear that give you more control over Cybernetica units, so this could be further expansion of those into the main game.
