Ad Mech box looks like such a good deal, and I'm incredibly happy with the Dark Mech models. All around, this looks like so much fun.

Gonna get into Legion Imperialis with the Dark Mechanicum.

something to note is that the dark mech detachment sizes actually go larger than you note as a lot of them can take the size upgrades multiple times. the melee stalkers go up to 9 models, the other stalkers go up to 6

I am unreasonably excited for this!

Dedicated Battlegroups for both Astartes and Solar Auxilia are available from GW already! Definitely the best way to go when getting into the game, and much better than the mixed style they went with for the starter set.

Would LOVE a Legion Imperialis Battle Report Ash! Maybe with more Titans just for fun and to bulk up the points!!

Thank you for the review! Sadly Titans are seriously over costed in LI with the notable exception of the infamous Warmaster. Unfortunately there is no balance in having them not being able to take and hold objectives because they have superior firepower and durability. You are correct though, the Necromunda team and the LI team do seem to be using the same playbook for their games. The design is poor and the points don't matter. That said I love the game and we have plenty of "guidelines" form which to be able to create balanced games and scenarios for ourselves.

The best release for the game so far, but if "at least 2 Armigers for every Knight" works well for HH then why not LI? All GW has to do is release an Armigers & Household Guard infantry box - a single kit - and they'll have made Knights into a very feasible force. And what is GW's plan for Titanicus? If its sticking around then they should do the next book, or even AT-40K. But this is a good release nonetheless.

They did say AT terminals were included for the dark mech walker boxes

@stevenray8737 2 ай бұрын

@@Saltymeatman It would be great if they're releasing the Dark-Mech units a bit later to coincide with a new Adeptus Titanicus book. As far as I know Dark-Mech don't have allegiance rules for AT, so I guess the terminals are at least a good omen.

@tragicthegarnering3619 2 ай бұрын

My only question is how many sprues are in the box? I think its probably 8 so 4 normal boxes which is pretty good deal, it's just hard to figure out where the split is.

@tragicthegarnering3619 2 ай бұрын

Pre ordered one on Saturday, going to do them as Zhao-Arkhad to go with my thousand sons, was just going to do an allied detachment but looks like I'll have enough plus titans to do a full force as well.

Just put together an odd 2k list of 60 Harpax with infiltrate from Swarm, 18 Stalkers, 8 Heavy Stalkers.

Assault isn't exploding 6s, it lets you double your shooting dice if you are within 1/2 of the weapons range.

Just got mine - my first Mechanicus models - look really cool, but suprised that there was no transfers

@JasonWolfeYT 2 ай бұрын

Overlord stalker death stars will be unstoppable without a warmaster titan. The point efficiency is crazy. 2+ save and 2W and 2 bonus shields for 85-75 points depending on size of group is crazy. The 6 model blobs gets 12 shield bubbles to clear before even one wound can be inflicted. Baneblades are sooo far behind this level of power.

Looking forward to the mechanicum box, a bit annoyed it doesn’t have a transfer sheet though. Hopefully the 28mm mechanicum transfers fit on them

Im new to this can you use the drill thingis for admech, i saw a video some time ago were they were transports for the old horus heresy game?

@Mech-Badger-Man 2 ай бұрын

Right now they are for legions only. However, the basic marines have a solid approximation of secutarii, so I’m likely to get some proxies printed, and then run them with termite transports.

I loves me some Titans and Knights but in LI they really aren’t very good. It’s cool to have the option to play them as a full faction still.

So a Triaros can transport 2 Thanatars because it has the Large Transport rule?

@EmperorsTeeth 2 ай бұрын

The Ordo Reductor Subdivision makes no sense. It requires two Bastion units, but the only Bastion units are Thanatar, which are a Legio Cybernetica unit (granted the laser one has connections to Reductor... but not enough to justify it being a forced choice). And worse, Thallax, which are the quintessential Reductor infantry, cannot be included! Neither can Myrmidons.

@sirbobulous 2 ай бұрын

I find the scoring in this game really bad. Progressive scoring turn by turn is silly as the default - who owns the bridge at the end of the day matters way more than who spent the morning standing in it. And it's really dumb when 5 guardsmen in a hole secure an objective when standing a living god-engine on it leaves it unsecured. I might try stealing the older Epic: Armageddon scoring system or NetEpic Gold scoring for it.

Thanatar is oddly not tougher than the Arlatax, Castellax, or Domitar. All are 4+, 2W. Thanatar is at a heavy wounds per point disadvantage versus space marine dreadnoughts. This puts Thanatars in a strange place where they are really better shooters than tanks.

No Dark Mech Thanatar?? 😢😢

@dirtyhandskev 2 ай бұрын

everything looks amazing, but honestly I refuse to touch this game anymore until they do an FAQ - it's ridiculous that it's taken this long. 4 expansion books and there are holes in the main rules you could drive a truck through.
