Codex Cult Mechanicus Rumor Roundup

[Kirsten]

I have the knight codex, wouldn't bother me if we get a new one this year, more options would be cool.

The Second combo kit for the new Mechanicus will feature tracked conveyor infantry models who resemble cybernetic terminators cut at the waist and attached to set of small triangle treads.

One unit type will be heavily armored, and decked out for close quarters engagements.
The second is less armored, and features two types of cannon; a plasma cannon varainat, and a larger calibre weapon.

They are on 50mm bases.



hope this one is true, THATS more what I want from mechanicum!

Ah my bad, sorry! Got overexcited there!

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Are there any infantry with trailing cables like in the artwork, as opposed to legs?

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.

Exciting! Can't wait to see these guys!

I hope the aesthetic of these models doesn't clash too hard with the Skitarii force. I'd love for Admech to still come off as... cohesive, if a bit chaotic with all the bionics.

I'd like to see common design cues, such as lenses etc, but also to see the actual Cult Mechanicus be a bit more of a hotch-potch, showing the constant tinkering that a given Adept would do when bored.

I am sure they will all work together visually.

liking these rumours, they sound good.

sigh, 50mm rebasing, off to the art store for more smooth-on...

?? What are you rebasing? Scratch built ad mech robots?

Edit: oh, I see some knight rumors ended up in this thread. My advice: Never Rebase Anything.
