Rules

Knights moving to LoW.

Mixed chatter regrading specialized Ad-Mech fortifications.

This lines up with some earlier Adeptus Mechanicus rumors from a different source describing a future robot kit:

  • The new Ad-Mech kits is a dual built kit, with both options in the box.
  • Both are upright walkers.
  • General appearance is of a thinner version of the plastic Kastelan.
  • One robot has anti-infantry high rate of fire weapons.
  • One robot has a large battering ram close combat weapon.

I would love to see GW catch lightning in a bottle two years in a row with Ad-Mech, but another part of me really wants to see Harlequins get some new units to fill out a real codex of their own.

~ What types of models do you think Ad-Mech need to round out a standalone unified codex?
