Admech Finally a Good Army Again! Ranking every Datasheets in the Adeptus Mechanicus Codex!

[@johnnywatkins]

Well this was way less depressing than the last ad mech list, I might actually pull out my ad mech army now

[@Grokvar]

Great to see AdMech being competitive and fun to play again! Thank you, Siegs and Alex, for the great content.

[@Grokvar]

From my super chat comment: "Great content! I’m playing a tournament this weekend w/AdMech using Cybernetica. Any final tips / advice for a 4-bot and vehicle heavy list w/the dataslate tweaks?"

[@ArtofWar40k]

@@Grokvar Yes, don't get overly ambitious trying to kill everything in a turn, focus down key damage dealers and let the Robots run the late game. Force them to commit strong combat into other units. I think 4 bots is ideal, make sure you keep your character command phase ranges precise.

[@Grokvar]

@@ArtofWar40k Great, thank you!

[@adept5500]

Finally got to take the new AdMech for a spin last weekend (Cybernetica Cohort) - it is a whole different game!

[@STLSpartan]

This looks like Siegler twice lol

[@JayzusKhrist]

Only bearded smart guys play AdMech, so it’s pretty on brand

[@adept5500]

I’ve had some success running Fulgerites as Enginseer bodyguards for the one following the Robots up the table; keeps him from getting sniped by skirmish units within 12”

[@Zakading]

My lovely round beep-boops being at least mid-tier and not the absolute bottom of the barrel makes me so happy. I really gotta grab myself enough to run a full maniple with them, to hell if it's actually good or not.

[@adamwebb3577]

Great watch, thank you! Make me rethink some choices.

[@josephpolk9660]

Glad to see the glowup that Ad Mech has gotten. I was playing with the changes revently in a few games and they feel SOOO good. Def want to try more lists on TTS with models i dont have like Electro-Priests. I was thinking about the Corpuscarii + Manipulus combo and definitely want to try it at some point or even fulgurites + dominus in explorator with the Genetor enhancement (4++/4+++, -1 to wound while led on the acquisition objective).

[@atomickrispies]

I gotta say, after 2 games with it - The Stratoraptor with the +1 BS *SLAPS*, thing gets +1 to hits against ground targets which stacks, so it's a Lascannon and a bunch of anti-infantry shots hitting on 2s. Not the most point efficient unit for sure, but that model out of the 3 planes is actually somewhat usable.

[@TomesTheAmazing]

@@atomickrispies oh I didn't consider that time to bust out the batcopter in my casual game

[@nurglematthew]

Watched AdMech go 4-1 last weekend on Pariah Nexus. Pretty awesome !!

[@davidcoren237]

I was crumping people pre data slate with data psalm, now the fulgerites with +1 to wound kill almost anything that isn't -1 damage. Corpuscari just delete anything t9 or less. Hunter feels really strong with 15 chickens and 20 ruststalkers. Have played around 10 games and haven't lost yet. I see admech getting up to A tier (pilot dependent).

[@James-db6po]

I've been waiting for this video! Big up to Alex bringing the Aussie cred

[@paranelmanterlyzastratatum885]

Someone else mentioned that if I left a comment as well, the superchat would be answered, so here’s the comment. The super is probably a couple minutes before 24:51

[@ArtofWar40k]

If you're running a surge, you might want to go mont'ka so you can use the extra ap from range and the ability to flat advance makes it mobile enough to threaten angles it otherwise wouldn't. I'd probably build a tank/battlesuit spam list around it so its a tough unit in a sea of tough units.

[@dariusgorganzadeh]

Looking forward to seeing where Sulphurhounds end up... They're not doing well. If I'm going to pay a CP to advance, charge, and deal mortals - I'll tank shock with Dragoons.

[@Infections95]

i'll tell you before they do. Cawls rejects.

[@dariusgorganzadeh]

@@Infections95 They escaped Cawl's Rejects, which surprised me.

[@Infections95]

@@dariusgorganzadeh didn't get chance to finish listening once I do I'll see what they say.

[@evanmalo7790]

I'd like them a lot more if their flamer was not 9" range. Feels real bad not being able to come in from reserves and flame something.

[@franciscogalvez8891]

There's a case for the Archaeopter Transvector as a turn 1 drop pod/utility vehicle. It's still a heavy investment in points though.

[@davidjones4772]

i played vs an ad mech list with 30 rustalkers and 40 vanguard at my last event. That list felt a bit too cheap and just dominated the objectives. felt like he was playing with a lot more point than me.

[@Infinite74]

Love all the commentary but can y’all please say what unit y’all are talking about more cause I’d forget. I got too many TBIs

[@mati12554]

Just want to point out that Dunecrawler has a Scuttling Walker ability which helps immensely with its huge base, which I would say is a benefit due to his 4++ invul bubble.

[@davidcoren237]

You didn't mention that ruststalkers all have precision built in which is insane. You can trade into some units really well because you can guarantee a dead character. And a 150 pt unit with 10 2 wound bases with a 5+++ is an absolute nuisance to deal with.

[@ArtofWar40k]

Their issues are 1) large bases sizes that can be difficult to place through a ruin if its blocked properly 2) they struggle into elite infantry, 3) they rely on a Conqueror designed list and SHC advance and charge to be optimal. But they are definitely going to be seen a lot. Because they are stratagem dependent they suffer against armies with the new vect.

[@davidcoren237]

@@ArtofWar40k The footprint is fair. Out of my 5 reps running 20, they are kind of hard to physically fit them but they're so fast and efficient it is never really an issue to get them where they need to be. Going into 2+ saves with aoc feels bad but at that point they are just move blockers. 90% of matchups though they are trading at least evenly and then disrupting plans / forcing some commitment. Personally 20 are an auto include but just in hunter.

[@SenseiLlama]

Admech is competitive, at least. We still play the same way our guns just do what they are supposed to now. Tbh, I wish points went up more. We are still way low. Cawl, for example, isn't good. It was too expensive, and his abilities were weird. If you get him into melee range, he's alright, but for his battleine aura, he's expensive. For re roles same thing. I love that I don't feel bad for playing admech, but honestly 10th has just left a bad taste in my mouth. Most factions just don't feel right to me. Everything feels under baked. The fact that a common sentiment about the eratta is "how the edition should have launched" is a MAJOR redflag.

[@CalamitousCactus]

What weapons would you put on the bots?

[@aenglezos]

Double fist and flamer always!

[@SilentMannam]

Never really played the game yet. Admech is my choice. Hopefully I can learn.. Do they have update vids at art of war?

[@ArtofWar40k]

Yes there are several new Admech videos for Pariah Nexus at thewarroom.vhx.tv to help you learn the faction!

[@jonathanhaynes9914]

Thanks Seigs and Alex

[@drdestrukt1367]

i just want to use my long boys :(. I know their design is goofy but i love it and it sucks that they suck ^^

[@nathanstruble2177]

Wouldn't a Lazy Susan count as a round base??

[@kiwilad5744]

Why do you think GE chose not to fix the breacher arc weapons? Not having dev wounds when all the other Arc weapons do is so disappointing and would really improve Admech into vehicles.
