They are strong models by themselves, now it looks like they’re going to feed off each other, and strenghten your army at the same time in this new formation. If we didn’t have incentive to buy all three already, maybe this is a step in that direction.
Mars United
Can you say raw power? The Adeptus Mechanicus has always been a force to be reckoned with. Now they’re getting a, formation that looks to be a small army composed of Skitarii, Imperial Knights, and Cult Mechanicus led by Belisarius himself. Every unit in the army is carrying a master-crafted weapon with access to a mix of abilities from all armies in the formation.
Crusade for Cadia!
Joining hands in this formation is the Black Templar and Astra Militarum. Saint Celestine and Inquisitor Greyfax led this force in the fight against the Traitor Legion attack on Cadia, and you’ll soon be able to get a formation bonus while you follow the story line.
And the Detachment itself if you’re down for a little crusading.
No freebies but looks like PoMS for days at least, and of course some canticle loving as well
And then there is the full Imperial Football team, you know if you’re into tons of fun on the table top:
Eat your heart out Genestealer cult, the Imperium can recycle their troops too! Love that Hatred / Zealot mechanic too.
Who wants to play with all the models now?
