Could we see a new “Second Edition” of the two 2015 Adeptus Mechanicus codex books? Come see what the Ad mech may be getting VERY son!
via a source who spoke to BoLS on condition of anonymity:
Rumor Basics
Look for a Combined Adeptus Mechanicus book to replace the current pair released in 2015.
Ad Mech is slated for a Q2 2016 Release.
Models
New combo Robot kit will make 2 different robot versions.
New Transport kit.
New Flyer kit.
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.
Original Rogue Trader Imperial robot minis
We saw them re-book Knights after one year, why not Ad Mech?
