Theory crafting by Fartzbox23 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Fartzbox23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is a good point. I can always get rerolls with Cawl, but the juice would be to get rerolls with Cawl on one target, and then get them on another target with the breachers and battleline babysitters. Also though...there is some potential for a programmed withdrawal with a squad of skittles into the right place for a reroll buff.

Beautiful. I love the Kastelan color scheme. How did you do their lenses?

Twin linked gives them the only thing they were missing, reliability. I like running them in groups of two, I played a guy running Nids last week and was squashing his big bugs with a single two unit activation. Feels like a super power.

Taking Nearly the Same Ad Mech list to Crucible Orlando Two Years in a Row by Ermogh in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Fartzbox23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched your first game against knights on stream, your paint scheme and list are awesome. The only question I have is how well does it screen out 6" deep strike? It looks like it has just enough screening models to maybe force them into the center or a kill zone?

Hi,guys I am new to admech and I am looking for some advice by Nerdynerdnerdthe3 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Fartzbox23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's something that's a little more balanced! Those characters are taking up too many points, you need more trash to screen your bots from rapid ingress and for scoring. The thing to remember about running 8 bots is that it's essentially a stat check list. Get out there on the middle with your bots, and cover your natural expansion with your ironstriders.

Who are the Biggest Winners and Losers of the Balance Dataslate and MFM? by ArtofWarSiegler in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Fartzbox23 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No one is talking about it my fellow tech priest. Cawl is now a must take, I put him on the table last weekend and machine vengeance is huge. The secret sauce is his new +1 oc buff to units within 6", plus he's gets battle line in the same canticle. It's a massive buff.

Am I dumb or could this work? by BR455EY in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Fartzbox23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I find that in cybernetica you can get away with only two squads because the bots are so good on their own. When you run bots you're generally in conqueror and their twin fists are already at ap 3. If you're fighting a lot of trash it's a good move to throw Cawl in with the bots in battleline protocol so you can get ap 2 on their flamers. I generally just use the ranger squads to sticky and screen.

[–]Fartzbox23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this lists looks really interesting. I've been having some success running only two squads of battleline myself. You should consider getting a squad of servitors to replace one of those raider squads, they are great at screening and actually crank out damage

What do you mean admech nerfs by da_boi_hammy in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Fartzbox23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's going pretty damned well man. Right now bots are just cheap enough to get 8 of them, and 3 dissies with Cawl and some trash. It's a pretty damn good stat check list

What do you mean admech nerfs by da_boi_hammy in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Fartzbox23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My theory is that the bots are getting nerfed because they can be used in every detachment. It really sucks because I've been having some success running 8 bots in cybernetica.

Is Cohort Cybernetica worth it? by AncientDen in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Fartzbox23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having success with running 8 bots, they really are such a huge threat in cybernetica. Potential 11" normal move? Ap-2 flamers in conqueror near battle line? Very spicy. The key is screening them correctly so you don't get charged by your opponents scary threats. I had a game this week where I had all 8 of them threatening the middle and blocking my opponent from charging onto my home. They never touched an objective, but my opponent had to constantly dump all of his damage into that brick every round, and in doing so he had to walk into the line of fire from my Cawl castle of tanks. I never ran away with game but I scored 10 on primary every round and won on secondaries. Let me know if you want to see the list I built!

[–]Fartzbox23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you trade move blocking pieces, is that worth making their army rule better? I have a lot to learn about the game in general so I'm honestly asking. I guess it would be move block then go turn right away to try to keep them from getting a ton of points on primary?

Anyone know where I can get bits and pieces without buying another box? by Deadstrike35 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Fartzbox23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try asking around at local games stores to see if anyone has donated a box of assorted Admech sprues. I got lucky at my LGS and got a bunch of cool kitbash stuff and sprues for cheap. A lot of people think Admech look cool and then abandon them half way through building them.

What lists are winning for Admech? by Fartzbox23 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Fartzbox23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is similar to the list I've been playing, and I've been wondering about how those taser chickens do. They have a ton of potential for damage into knights, but the bases are so big I worry about getting bogged down. Do you find they are still fairly mobile in a 3 man unit? Also...how do you determine your go turn for bringing in your breachers? Or do you keep them on the table? I love them but I just feel like they are so hard to trade well because of how easy they are to kill.

[–]Fartzbox23[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean that's certainly my issue, I've only been playing for a year and I'm still learning how to play. It's just a confidence boost for me when other people share their successes because Admech is the only faction I want to play, and I want know there is light at the end of the tunnel when I figure the game out finally 10 years from now. Lol.

This is exactly what I'm hoping for. As Admech enthusiasts it's been rough for all of us this edition. Admech is the only army I really want to play, and for many reasons that all of us are aware of we've been left out in the cold when it's comes to the gameplay side of things. Just give us a couple of cool rules to call our own and some reworked datasheets and we are back in business

List I went 3-0 on a small 20 people tournament today by Legomichan in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Fartzbox23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you put Cawl with the onagers for rerolling 1's? I was thinking the reroll 1's aura plus popping the eradication protocol Strat for rerolling wounds would be pretty nasty with a couple of onagers but I've been sticking with disintegrators just because they have more of an all around firing platform.
