After looking over the first one and seeing the amazing art on here, I wanted to go back and add some more detail and contrast, I am so happy with how they turned out. Praise the Omnissiah!

Hi all,

Late as usual, Forge World Yaddosh presents the Serberys Raiders of the 1st En.Troch Co-Ad Scout Regiment.

Along the lines of my Hastarii Fusiliers, I 3d-bashed/printed some pieces with bits from the Serberys Raider kit to get something that fit in with my army's design motifs.

Hi all ! Curious about what you think/feel about the impact that DoW IV will have on Admech generally. More players on tabletop ? More GW content overall ?

Do you already have some people around you asking about the Omnissiah and our divine machinery ?

Best to you all, and remember : The flesh is weak.

So here is my attempt at making that is a bit more appealing to my eyes

I LOVE Kataphron units, I think they're the coolest infantry we have, both visually and from a shooting standpoint

Regardless of my favoritism, what detachment combos and also enhancements (and leaders too) work best for making Kataphrons more fun?

Obviously I'd love to take data psalm but it is so weak

(I also love the crabs 😊)

Should i swap the raiders for a unit of fusiliers? And should i put the marshal with them instead of the vanguard?

Sorry for the acerbic title.

I just gave up on Priest of Mars because of this issue. I was really excited for a story that focused on the Adeptus Mechanicus, because I love transhuman concepts. That, plus religious imagery? Even better.

I was incredibly disappointed to find that none of the main characters in this book are even AdMechs (wtf), and the AdMechs in the story are all fucking morons.

---

Admech: "Ah, of course I forgot how useless you mortals, with your un-augmented brains, can be. I assure you Guardsman, I've run 500 trillion calculations, and they all insist this is perfectly safe."

Guard: "Oh yeah? Well, did you think about (incredibly obvious point)?"

Admech: "WHAT?! BUT MY CALCULATIONS!"

Guard: "Sorry, Voltron. But there's no way to calculate for the human spirit. That lives in here. In the heart."

Admech: "But, I, superior! The math! How?!"

---

It's almost comical how much the book hates on the AdMechs. They are out-of-touch, aristocratic monsters. They should at least be borderline competent in exchange.

Hi, im playing my first tournament next week and im thinking if 2blocks of kastelan is good to play take and hold.
I think only 1 block can be dead so fast.

I’m reasonably new to Warhammer 40K, and selected Admech as my first army. I have about 10 games under my belt so far. Of those ten games I’ve only won two. Winning only 20% of my battles means I’m probably misusing my army pretty severely. I attribute it to not understanding my army/leader buffs/battleline aura.

In most battle rounds I’ll finish my phase and then remember “oh! That unit was suppose to have +1 to hit” and I’ve lost the benefits that are supposed to make a buff-playstyle army function.

But because I don’t really have a cohesive list I think I’m overwhelmed why the sheer number of interactions all my units have. How do other players manage this? Should I simplifying my list to have fewer units, keep tokens to identify what’s being buffed, or just “git gud”?

Get a REALLY F-up roll start from turn 2, can barely hole the line till turn 5 praise the Omnissiah (T⁠▽⁠T⁠)

WE's melee is damn strong, it's the hardest match I have ever face (T⁠▽⁠T⁠)

10 skitarii vanguard and a kitbashed Cybernetica datasmith for an enhacment (Martial Signatum Amplificator)

Sorry for the delete and reupload i once again have messed up uploading. I posted a drawing here a few months ago and thought Id post this work in progress here :)

Title pretty much, recently had a practice game where the clock was started in the deployment phase is that correct or nah?

I've fallen in love with this faction after playing the mechanicus games. I've picked up the 40 skiitari, skiitari marshall, and 3 breachers in a good deal. Is the rest of this list a good way to get started playing?
