see, I told you there was singing.

'gusts' I am guessing should be salvo or rapid fire, given the context.

definitely need a squad of each of these

[Mr Mystery]

Canticles of the Omnissiah - same as the Kastellan and Datadudes.

[Saresti]

My translation :

Schweres licht-bogen gewehr -> Heavy light-curving gun

hydraulic Klaue -> hydraulic gauntlet / claw

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

By far the best kit for the mechanicus I've seen yet and I'm SO glad they are TROOPS! they are definitely more in line with the kind of weird mechanical madness I've been wanting. Look forward to the Magos whenever it's out too. Shall get a few boxes of these for sure.

[Mr Mystery]

I'm expecting dual fire modes on the Culverin...

thank you for linking to us, many use our pictures but don’t even give us some credits.
For this, only you will get the english translation of the new troops rules for Cult Mechanicus

Cognis-Flamer
if this weapon is used as defensive Fire (it can be used for defensive Fire) it will automatic do 3 Wounds instant of W3

Torisionskannone
if the Torsion Weapons make a wound, you have to roll a d3 dice for the wound, on non vehicle models it makes d3 wounds and on Vehicles it make d3 hull damage

Hydraulic Claw - Iron hold
double you strange to max of 10 with punch of 2
You hit with your normal initiative of 3

Heavy Combatservitor rule
you can fire up twice a weapon even if you move
But you can’t run

You can take up to 9 models, so you will have a troop of max 12 models

Ad-mech shooting is NUTS!!!

And this is on Troops models.

That Torsion Cannon is like a mini-Destroyer!

(mind hyu, the Knights have a detachment that gives them all Objective Secured, so clearly "nuts" is the order of the day.)

[Tannarak]

I would hope that the datasmith is not a character. First losing battle in a challenge, lose control of the remaining squad...
