First info post for Engine War has dropped and it looks like it will indeed be Admech+Knights versus the forces of Chaos.
You got the two different variants of the jump-pack infantry with one being armed with flechette weapons.
The Archaeopter will apparently have three different variations: transport, bomber and twin heavy phosphor blaster attack-plane.
And finally the robo-horses. Of which the wording indicates that the ranger variation might be able to outflank.

that's a little weird aesthetically for me, but I'm admittedly NOT a fan of mechanicus so it's not really aimed at me.
I'm very interested in what's in store for chaos... please not just csm there GW?

I'm more curious as to how well (or if at all) the new units will mesh with the existing mechanicus forces. Because there seems to be a big focus on maneuverability here (cavalry, jumppack troopers and flyer) while Admech currently are a lot more vehicle/heavy support focused.

I've heard rumours (But for the life of me can no longer find these rumors anywhere online) that AdMech may get a codex 2.0, sort of like how Space Marines and Chaos Marines got a ways back.
On that note, are there other factions that have a 2.0 codex?

On that note, are there other factions that have a 2.0 codex? Why, yes! Chaos Space Marines got their 2.0 book before everyone else. With almost no new rules. Fun.

New rules/strats for Knights with Dakka knights (1 cp, 8' auto-hitting avenger gatling) and mini-knight (1 cp for ma shots with cannons) along with others; and some leaks of the admech stuff.

When you had said Dakka Knight, part of me was hoping it was going to be a looted knight with orks on it. Sadly, it wasn't.
On another note, I'm not familiar enough with the 40K rules to be able to tell of those AdMech are good or not, but oh boy do they look amazing. Also, having never once used a stratagem (And almost never having spent CP), I also don't know much on that front.
Clearly if I do get back in with 9th, I'll have to pretty much learn from scratch. Also, learn how and when to use stratagems.
I suck at games. :/

Also, learn how and when to use stratagems. Fortunately depending on your faction, there tends to be only two or three stratagems out of the list you ever use on a regular basis. The rest are more specialized/circumstantial and no-one will take it the wrong way if you take a few seconds to check the wording to see if XYZ stratagem applies. It's like me and my Necron HQs in melee. I need to stop and yank out the book to double-check their attacks, strength etc because I try to keep them out of melee combat.
And on a different topic, the daemons get some interesting new abilities in this book as well. Particularly Tzeentch; whose 'Exalted' Lords of Change seem to be going for maximum troll since this ability is one they are apparently getting:

Hope the re-word that so you can always at least smite.

Ya I've seen that it's pretty crazy. But totally trolly tzeentch.
Just wondering what other stuff they might have or if that's it and the book isnt worth picking up

I’ll see if I can post them up on early Saturday morning. id like to know how the tzeetch deamons part of the book is There are 4 pages for tzeetch. A new data sheet for horrors, 4 new stragems, and a page for rule to make an exalted greater daemon. And then 3 artifacts for that exalted greater daemon to use.
