CAT? That reminds me of Emperors Finest novel about Ciaphas Cain, is it some construct used for exploration of confined spaces (such as space hulks)? Oh, some backround package and cell directive love pleade 

Do youuu hear the voices tooo?

Good news and bad news. The CAT is exactly what you thought it was. A little infiltrator unit that goes around space hulks/ ships and can even be a data thief!! This thing has unnatural INT and PER and is "often overlooked by enemy troops". Sadly there were no cell directives nor were there any background packages. However there are several alternate ranks.

Hey!

What about the Heretics and the bad guys in the book? Any Famous Hereteks previously mentioned in this thread?

Core-Gel is in the book! W00t! That makes me so happy. 

And Catalytic Mass Drivers… what a fun weapon. I'll be interested to see how effective people find it. 

Follow-up question/s, and this is regarding patterns.

You mention, the Combat, Security and Medicae Servitor. Do they have specific Patterns like the "[Whatever]-Pattern Medicae Servitor"?, and if so, what are they? Ditto for the Power Glove and Vision Cowl.

And one more (two part) question:

Are there any section on new Skills/Talents listed, and if so, what are they?



This book can't arrive fast enough.

There are no female Space Marines. Don't believe me?

What's the deal with the venator blade and psybernetics? And what's a coil whip?

 Do we have a full list of Alternate Ranks?

Are there any new Home Worlds?

Enemy stats?

I've converted Dark Heresy to the Only War system. Please take a look!

A Venator Blade is simply the knife that all Venatorii (Crimson Guard) carry, however, because it's a Lathe Blade it's got all the fancy special rules that other Lathe-upgraded weapons get from the IH. Psybernetics are pretty much what they sound like - a type of cybernetic that gives you psychic powers. Highly proscribed, absolute Tech-Heresy, and are a type of 'Archeotech' within the book. A coil whip is an electrical whip that is very dangerous and zaps you lots. The Security Servitors have two of 'em. 

Enemy stats would take too long to list. No new home worlds in this book.

The alternates are:

Mech-Assassin
Agent of the Lords Dragon
Cult of the Pure Form Cultist
Crimson Guard
Lathesmaster
Malatek
Factor of the Lathes

And two Elite packages, the Cistron and Discordant.

Hmm. I was chatting with some nice fellows online and everything we've heard about this book so far makes us crave a party using largely this book, with everyone getting jump packs and mechadendrites. Horrify some natives with our "sorcery."

You probably could. The Lords Dragon are the Calixis Mechanicum's own internal "Inquisition", so a group of Acolytes working for them (with a few Agents of the Lords Dragon in there) could work quite well, taking orders from the Ad Mech rather than the Inquisition.

So, how close can we get to playing Skitarii with this book? We have our base Tech-Priests, and now Mech-Assassins and Crimson Guard… Are there Mechanicus psykers? Clerics?

Crimson Guard are as close are you're going to get to Skitarii I'm afraid. The AdMech don't have psykers. And they're all clerics (so to speak). They're Tech-Priests, after all.

NO bp and cell advances? Shame, still looking forward on this like hell. CAT is nice somebody read his Hero of the Imperium. Venatorii (I prefer high gothic names) sounds cool, but one question comes to my mind, are the Lords Dragons mentioned to be Calixis specific? Becouse I swear a read about them in Necron 3ed. codex and in Horus Heresy novels.

Also, Malatek, it sounds awfuly similiar to Maltek Stalker from RH, what is he about? Renegade tech-priest but no warp-tech? Also is there any stuff on Logicians, Phaeonites and briefly mentioned Empyrean Engineers and Sinophian Tech-wtiches? 

Do youuu hear the voices tooo?

Item number 1: I haven't been able to fully scour the book. There seemed to be some REALLY interesting/scary enemy profiles (I'm talking about you Myrmidon… <.< …>.>). 

 

Item number 2:

Spatha Pattern Combat Servitor

Remidium Pattern Medicae servitor

Velox Pattern Security Servitor

And yes I completely forgot about the new skills/ talents!!! There is now the Diplomacy skill which allows players to essentially debate with other characters to make them see their point of view on a subject matter. Theres also Logis Prophesying which is a skill for tech priests which allows them to piece together past and present information to predict a future event, a sort of "techno divination". New Talents include Luminen flare and Luminen surge which are beefed up versions of blast and shock respectively. Theres also Luminen shield and barrier which are awesome additions.

Cool. The pattern names are in the book. I'm happy about that. And yes, that's Spatha, not Sparta, in case anyone was wondering. 


Ever since DH came out it always bugged me how the Luminen powers didn't really scale. Say you got Blast, well… that's all Blast ever did. You would end up with these Talents that were fine if you were unarmed, but that's about it. So… I wrote some bigger ones, and added the shield. And they get even better with the Enhanced Potentia Coil. That thing effects all those Talents - Luminen Talents, Maglev Talents and Ferric Talents (and Integrated Weapons, but not by a huge amount; they're pretty dangerous on their own as it is).

And The Flesh is Weak is in there, right?
