Flat out all the armor(minus the predator) at your opponent to close the distance as quickly as possible while teleporting terminators/chaplain into his rear. Use the Devastators to try to pick off his most threatening items, like Leman Ruses or any other AP 3/2 nonsense. Depending on what he has while you advance you could flank the Vindicator with your Rhinos, which means he has to fire at the front armor, or pop the rhinos before he can hit you in that weak side 11. The cannon on that thing scares the poo poo out of people, so this should at least buy you time to get the Dreadnaught closer. I'd suggest combat squading the Devastators so they can capture any rear objectives, while your scouts are more forward deployed to get those mid ground ones. Basically, chuck everything you can at him quickly, and use whats left to pick up points incase your guys get slaughtered you still might win the points game depending on what mission type you're playing.

Also, Drake_263 want to paint my Stormtalon?

Thanks for that!

The Skitarii Maniple

This makes the Skitarii an optimal allied force, simply because of the minimal unit requirements to jump in with them. No HQ makes it quite easy to get what you want out of a Skitarii force.

Command Benefits.
Crux Mechanicus- if this is your primary detachment, you can re-roll on the Skitarii Warlord Traits and your warlord gains preferred enemy.

Tireless Advance
All modles from this detachment have crusader and Scout, but cannot outflank (they can if they have infiltrate or a mission special rule)

I figured there wasn't going to be a HQ model once the stats for the basic infantry leaked and their sergeants had two wounds. It kind of sucks because I was really hoping there'd be a cool plastic techpriest somewhere in all of this. At least the detachment has pretty simple requirements and actual options unlike the Harlequin one. I might end up grabbing some robit men so my Dark Angels can finally ally with something.

I imagine they were probably trying to retroactively show where defilers come from or something but it's not like that needed any justification other than "it's chaos!"

Yeah, that is totally what they were going for but the turret just doesnt match the rest of the model. I suppose if they did do the fancy frilly bits on the edges of the turret it would look more like a defiler

I think it looks okay-ish. Probably (hopefully) another case of terrible GW promo shots. Disappointed at the lack of an HQ, but I think that, as much as anything, points towards this being a Scions style release.

The turret and the legs do not share the same design aesthetic. They look like they are from two entirely different vehicles. The Machine God is shaking his head in shame.

I don't know how you make a walking tank less cool of an idea but they somehow did it.
The top half is pretty lacking in any real detail. I mean, could it have killed them to model a mechanicus skull on it?
Then the bottom half just screams at you with that bone colour, like it doesn't want you looking it in the eye.

Although, the one with the two cannons looks a little better?

Final thought: Bobble Headed Skitarii Manpiles.

This somehow looks worse than those cheap-rear end Robogear models.

Not a fan of that thing--the whole looks like less than the sum of its parts. I'm glad I didn't preorder anything, though I could conceivably do a Kill Team at some point.

Edit: I think a really big part of the problem is the paintjob. It accentuates the giant differences that are already there. Even just changing the completely aberrant brazen knee edging to match the ladder rungs would be a step forward. I still dislike the model but the color choices are abominable.

Edit: I say all this as someone who liked the pit droids.

At least the front arm there will make for a good servo-arm if you can grab the bit.

A bunch of skyfire options I guess? *yawn*

Nah, your opinion is wrong, and you are a bad person. :v:

But seriously, the very reason why you dislike it is why I like it. The not designed, but just assembled look really works for the Admech, I think. They're crazy engineers. They chop off their soldiers' legs and replace them with cybernetics, so they don't have to worry about trench foot and replacing boots. If they want a walking gun, they're gonna wire a turret onto some legs and send it out the door. Machine spirits don't look in the mirror.

I really like all the other admech stuff (dome head dudes look a bit lame but the alternate unit looks cool) but the walker just looks kinda average and is a let down compared to the other stuff. Maybe because it looks less insane than those bipedal walkers (which everyone seems to hate)
