Hmm.....those Rad-Soaked guys + a combat walker could be really nice, especially if it can get up to S8-S10.

more from Faeit: "There is a lot of information flowing now about the new Admech. It seems that everyone is beyond excited about this new release, and if your not... thats ok too. Just be excited for the rest of us. There is some debate on just how big the new Ironstriders are, but the source that gave us that, has said that it was from a GW letter to stores to get ready for the new models. So that is all we know. Still of course treat any early info as rumors, simply because there is always room for error. This is a most interesting leak that shows us some of the new weaponry that is coming with the Skitarii, and verifies some of what we had heard previously back at the beginning of the year. i.imgur.com/BajLJy7.jpgSo this must be a very tall walker. I am getting excited to see more on these, as an admech army has always been a convertion army, and now we get rules and plastics! So far this looks like we will at least see 5 new units, assuming the Onager is a single unit build. Here are some more leaks at what is looking like a very full new faction, the first we have seen in years. I think this will be a great month for GW, and a poor one for the wallets. imgur.com/a/sdI89imgur.com/a/4glCxwww.facebook.com/mexork?ref=br_tfwww.talkwargaming.com/2015/03/new-skitarii-units-vanguard-rangers.html "

those dragoons seem like they can be pretty nasty on the charge, you look at str 5 and int 3, and your like ok, but they get +3 str and double int on the charge, and you can take 6 in a squad. which could be pretty nasty

Looks like another army to add when I eventually get time to. Still slowly building up my Guard, but the Angels are almost done! Then I hear about this Sisters thing in the near future ouch my wallet is gonna take a hit!

This is looking seriously interesting. I wonder if any of the 30k Mechanicum units will get the greenlight for them? I'd love to have a Thanatar or some Castellax stomping around. I've always said I'd wait until Sisters get released to actually dive in to a new army, but I'm unsure if I can resist this one. The real question is whether or not I try to convert them to Dark Mechanicus though.

I for one would love to see a Dark Mechanicum army done

A lot of the cultist models would look at home in this army already. I'd totally do it, if I didn't just take on the Dark Eldar project.

*sigh* soooo many armies I'd love to do, but not enough time or money to do them.
These are looking to be a great army or ally option

Those Striders are fantastic, though I have to roll my eyes again at things that cost more in dollars than in points. I'd love to run 6+ of those things, but at $49 US a shot that hurts.

rumours pointing to three books:
1st is Skitarii (think tempestus sized release) 2nd is full Adeptus Mechanius (ie: the full imperial guard codex that dropped right after MT) 3rd is a painting guide
not sure if this is accurate or not, but that's what's making the rounds currently
