Army special rules for fielding an Adeptus Mechanicus list, with rules for 7 named Forge Worlds plus custom rules for a Forge World of your own, as well as the new Doctrina Imperative and returning Canticles of the Omnissiah abilities.Lore for the secretive initiates of the Machine Cult.If you like big, big guns, bizarre combinations of man and machine, and surprisingly punchy melee, then this is the army for you. On the table that translates into an interesting force combining disparate elements, with the fanatical Tech-Priests of the Cult Mechanicus marching to war alongside their private military force, the disciplined Skitarii legions. The Adeptus Mechanicus are a highly characterful faction within Warhammer 40k they are nominally part of the Imperium but also independent of it, passionate scientists who are drenched in religious mysticism, men and women who despise their own human weakness and long to become more perfect like the machines they worship.
We think this is a pretty great book – join us as we talk through why. Here at Goonhammer we were lucky enough to receive a review copy of the book from Games Workshop, giving us ample time to interface with its contents and exload the data to the noosphere to be enjoyed by all of you. The Ad Mech themselves would insist they were simply biding their time in order to maximise impact efficiency, of course. On the next page: Payload maps - Dorado, Route 66, and Watchpoint: Gibraltar.We finally have a new codex for Warhammer 40,000! This book is long-awaited, originally being trailed for release in April before mysteriously going quiet as other releases jumped it in the queue now, though, the wait is over and the 9th edition Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus is available for pre-order.
Keep your eyes peeled, especially at the first point, and you’ll be surprised how many are closer than you think.Īlso keep an eye out for murals and images of Zarya, who is hailed as a hero in Russia. Whether the attacking side is working for the omnics or someone else is unclear, but the defending team seems be trying to protect the factory at all costs.Īll the giant robots! Seriously, for being giant robots, they are surprisingly easy to miss. You can see the factory, the heart of which is the map’s final point, is still pumping out battle suits during the fight. The Second Omnic Crisis is still in its infancy, but Russia has been hit the hardest so far, and Volskaya Industries has kicked Syvatogor production back into high gear as a result. Inside the factory behind the final point, you can see more complete mechs. On the attacking side, the Hanamura arcade is dense with easter eggs and references to other games, but a poster of D.Va on the wall was actually the first time we saw her, before she was even announced. The mural of two dragons, one green and one blue, above B point is also a direct reference to Genji and Hanzo. During the beta, these didn’t appear until after the animation was released. Keep an eye out in the shrine room for ninja stars and arrows used during the Dragons short. Whatever is specifically going on, it’s some sort of assault on the Shimada crime family’s compound-potentially to retrieve Genji's sword, which is also seen in his room on the Nepal map, but more on that later. His backstory says he completed his mission while he was still an agent of Overwatch, and the map has battle scars from the Dragons short still present in the shrine, so the timeline is hard to pin down on this map. Genji's sword, and evidence of his fight with Hanzo in Dragons.Īlthough Hanzo had since abandoned the Shimada clan, Genji swore to dismantle his family’s criminal organization.
