It’s here! The new two in one Adeptus Mechanicus transport and tank is on the way for the Skitarii? Don’t miss the latest teaser from GW!
Warhammer Community dropped a preview at the Australian Championship showing a video of two mechanicum talking to each other in a chat log, and now we have the official reveal!
New Skitarii Vehicle Requisition Granted
That’s right – as some of you cunningly worked out from our earlier preview, the Adeptus Mechanicus are finally getting a dedicated transport in glorious multipart plastic! Goodbye wheels, hello barely understood, deadly technology from the Age of Darkness.
The Skorpius Dunerider opens up the option for a new type of Adeptus Mechanicus army – a force of mobile infantry, whether bringing the brutal short-range firepower of the Skitarii to bear with deadly efficiency or dropping fully charged Electro-Priests right in the middle of your foe’s army.
Looks like some rumor engine pics have been revealed as well! How many can you spot?
And that’s not all! If you’d rather clinically disintegrate your foes at range, this kit will also build you a Skorpius Disintegrator, a fast-moving battle tank armed with your choice of deadly tech. You asked for an Adeptus Mechanicus tank – now, you’re getting two!
Looks like the Skorpius Disintegrator has two main weapon options for its Onager style turret. The whole assembly appears to slot in over the open crew compartment of the Dunerider.
Here are some shots of the spures and the tank variants sent to us from Sablednah
From here it looks to be a two sprue kit, but we’re sure more will be revealed!
Look for the new Adeptus Mechanicus Tank soon but as part of what release wave, that remains to be seen!
