Warhammer 40K BREAKING: Updated Ad-Mech Archaeopters Confirmed

The Ad Mech Archaeopters (all 3 of them) are back with an updated set of rules for 9th edition. Take a look.

This image from a miniature assembly guide has been doing the rounds. It appears to be from a new repacked set of Adeptus Mechanicus Archaeopters.  It is all over Reddit, and various forums.

Updated Archaeopters

Some items from the updated statlines& weapons:

Archaeopter Stratoraptor

• Statline is unchanged
• Cognis Heavy Stubber changes from Heavy 3 to Assault 4
• Cognis Twin Lascannon changes from Heavy 2 to Assault 2, Damage changes from D6 to D3+3

Archaeopter Fusilave

• Statline is unchanged
• Cognis Heavy Stubber changes from Heavy 3 to Assault 4

Archaeopter Transvector

• Statline is unchanged
• Cognis Heavy Stubber changes from Heavy 3 to Assault 4
• Twin Cognis Heavy Stubber changes from Heavy 6 to Assault 8

Notes

Weapon change all around and no surprises. The default weapons on the Archaeopters are mainly the Cognis Heavy Stubber and Lascannons. We again see the update from Heavy to Assault, and changing random damage to more fixed damage.  All things we have already seen on numerous other Ad Mech vehicles.

These sheets further cement the codex wide Adeptus Mechanicus weapon changes we should expect to see on all affected units.

All hail the Omnissiah!
