I think now that a bit of time has passed, it has become clear that the changes to LotF (both nerfing servitors and increasing the detachment cost to 2 DP) basically killed that playstyle for good. I do think that the nerf to the battleclade was warranted, as they were some of the best infantry in the game, however, with the point decrease for Cohort Cybernetica and Eradication Cohort, there’s no reason to ever pick up LotF (or servitors) at the moment. This also killed niche strategies like Rad-Zone LotF for no reason.

In my opinion, they should probably revert LotF to 1 DP and give AdMech a bit of flexibility back. The army has been stuck in the middle of the pack for the entirety of 11th Edition, so there was no reason to outright kill a detachment.

To close this out, I'll quote Toby Barnwell, who recently went 5-0 at the Battle of Ragnarok GT, since he perfectly encapsulates my sentiment : "With one of the more confusing dataslates from GW, they nerfed the existing, very powerful AdMech 1DP and replaced it with an equally powerful 1DP, while at the same time buffing the 3DP rerolls detachment to 2DP—so I'm basically playing with 5DP of old-patch detachments."

I’m relatively new to the game side of the hobby, but I was thinking about more unique plays on the tabletop. I’m also a big fan of the transvector and have been trying to brute-force a use case for it into my army, lol.

Anyway, we all know the strategy for Rad-Zone is to pen the enemy in their deployment zone as much as possible to maximise mortal wounds and/or battle shock. With that in mind, is there any use for a transvector stuffed with two full Hastarii squads (maybe 1 fusilier, 1 exterminator) that can deep strike early-game either onto the enemy home objective or a nearby terrain piece, and essentially function as a meat block that the enemy would have to deal with while the rest of your army moves into position? It would be fairly expensive (350 points), but if deployed right it would keep the enemy tied up and struggling for their nearby objectives.

Is there anything to this or am I barking up the wrong tree? Appreciate any advice, particularly if any of you have had success with the transvector.

Was actually really fun to paint, did not find it the hell that people often say, but will see how I feel after painting many more 😂

Bubblegum Angry has finally finished and hit the table, let’s goooo.

Am I correct in thinking since Greyfax can lead Skitarii Rangers, that means she can lead Hastarii Exterminators because they have that ability that says "Any character in your army that can attach to Skitarii Rangers can also attach to this unit"?

If that is the case, would that be good? All their weapons would get Anti-Psycher 4+, including the 5 devastating wounds arc blasters, and they'd also get the extra 1 to hit on below half strength units. She herself also seems to have some interesting weapons, Anti and Devastating wounds is my favorite combo. I think you could even add an Archeologist for an Anti Psyker 4+ Devastating wounds Servo Arc Claw and Mechanicus Pistol, or maybe (She gives Anti Psyker to Ranged Weapons only) a Marshal to give both her and the exterminators rerolls on everything and also maybe an enhancement ability, like giving her and the rest of the unit Infiltrators.

Thoughts?

I hope I’m not breaking any rules. This is my first post, and I’d love to hear what you guys think about my list and get some recommendations.

I’m still learning how to play Ultramarines, but I’d also really like to start building my Adeptus Mechanicus army.

This is my own interpretation of the Sydonian Skratos as the original design for me screamed "haha funny man on stilts." Obviously, no shade towards the designers as they work hard to create these models. The design just didn't jive with me.

The main parts for these two are from the tech-thralls and thallax kits with the upper half of the former and lower half of the latter. The legs were extended with the barrels of a Onegar dunecrawlers icarus array auto cannons and 2mm plastic rod with the arms coming from the Skitarii rangers for the arquebus and the Sydonian Dragoon kit for the jezzail

C&C very much welcome.

Hello everyone. After almost 20 years I decided to be back to WH40K. a friend of mine got some miniatures he wanted to get rid of, and they all were part of adeptus mechanicus. Cause for me they are a completely army, but I don't want to bin them, i would like to have a decent list. I love to play, i am not competitive at all. I find WH a great game to spend time with friends and family.

This is what he gave me: one belisarius cawl, one tech priest dominus, one tech priest manipulus, 10 skitarii rangers, 5 hastarii exterminators, 2 ironstrider ballistarii, 1 onagen dunecrawler,5 pteraxii sterylizors, 3 serberys sulphurhounds, 1 skorpius disintegrator.

Any advice for a good list? What to add what to remove? Thanks everyone in advance

Played a great game against Death guard the other day playing Purge mirror match with CyberErad. Got my arse absolutely handed to me, but that's fine. I totally forgot to use the eradication detachment rule all game and the dice were NOT in my favour.

But it did get me thinking. When I play Priority Assets, I have a very clear game plan of what I need to do and what I need to stop my enemy doing. With Purge it felt much more like reacting to my enemy and just trying to kill everything. I guess especially so since it was a mirror match.

How are people playing CyberErad? Purge or take and hold. And if Purge, how do you plan your games, or do you find it being much more reactive to where the enemy is and what they are doing?

I really hope for Horus heresy we get a new Aechmagos model. Because as alright as the current one is it’s a bit annoying to field the same Archmagos over and over again. I know kitbashing exists but idk

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on an admech army recently and I want some inspiration for making cool custom units. I’m a little confused by how much the priests are able to modify and make their own machines, so I want some ideas of what’s possible as well. Some examples off the top of my head:

- The giant mechanical worm featured in the eisenhorn series

-Early skitarii being feral cyborg barbarians wielding hellguns

- the explorator, featured in necromunda

-Various tech priests and freaky servitors

Literally anything helps, though I’d prefer to stay away from dark mech, just cause they’re kinda “do-anything”. Thank you!

Im new to Admech so i just wanted to know the Opinions of some Experienced Players

I basically bought 2 Marshals and a friend of mine gave me some extra bits so I could kitbash the Marshal in the middle. Gotta say, the leftmost one looks awesome.

I am toying around with this list, what do you think? do you believe anything feels out of place or would be better replaced with something ese?

So to someone like me that knows very little to do with the ad mech what can you tell me about them? Please don’t hold back. Are there different versions of the ad mech like the ultramarines have different company’s for the chapter? Please let me know.

Got one of your loaner suits. What are the insurance rates on those Lightning Locks? Last I checked, it was a 2 for 1 deal for a prayer to the Omnissiah with both, but it may have changed in the past millennium.
