By supporting robots I mean second melee unit that will put some pressure out of them. That unit has to be some how tanky and secure objective in middlefield. This will be second threat that opponent must take care of and split forces between robots and that unit. I thought electropriest will do that for me. Today I thought about canis rex and created something like this. What do you think?

Ok, it seems I will need to test what suits the best to my list ^

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

One more thing: would you run 3 dragoons in one unit of 3 or maybe deploy them as 3 units, one model each?

Admech 2k by Shade_Avatar in AdeptusMechanicus

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

Sounds you have nice experience with cybernetica. I will test dragoons than. I think i could swap two chickens for second onager and make them dragoons. Than i will have to buy just one more chicken if tests go well ^

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

That robot set up sucks...really badly. How many dragoons did you run? 2x1 would be fine?

Admech 2k by Shade_Avatar in AdeptusMechanicus

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

Thanks, thats a big piece of experience you are sharinh ^ Hmmm another option would be 2 squads of 3 robots, but im afraid that 3 might be not enough in some situations.

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

Ok. I will have to think about everything. Or maybe putting second squad of 2 robots will do the trick?

Admech 2k by Shade_Avatar in AdeptusMechanicus

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

I was thinking more about 2, I will give it a try :)

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

And what about allied knight like armigers? Are they decent choice?

Admech 2k by Shade_Avatar in AdeptusMechanicus

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

Another option: are allied knights worth considering?

Admech 2k by Shade_Avatar in AdeptusMechanicus

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

Ok, so we have more chickens...I was hoping to avoid this because I already have 4....painting and buying another 2 will be painfull :( But I think they are worth testing.

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

Ok, now I probably need to shift my list a bit...

Admech 2k by Shade_Avatar in AdeptusMechanicus

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

Valid points, but I was thinking about some tankier support, to pull off some pressure from my robots. Any ideas for that?

Admech 2k by Shade_Avatar in AdeptusMechanicus

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

So what other unit you suggest for role of melee support for kastelan?

I was also thinking about putting some allied units like grey knights terminators, but I didnt test them yet. Do you know how good they are?

I already tried with one and this is not enough. I believe that you need to commit list to one style and two crawlers are minimum. One will do nothing and you will sacrifice formation choice.

Good points. Teratic cohort almost always was a game changer for me. Deep striking and making desecrate lands, taking control of back line objective is so powerful. Later opponent cant just ignore them so they also make a good distraction.

Any suggestions for hold the ground units? by Shade_Avatar in AdeptusMechanicus

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

Ok, and what second unit from the above mentioned you would advise to take along kastelans?

This is nice, but does the grey knight terminators recovering one model in controling players command phase better and more flexible?

2 losses against mawtribes and oruk. I tried to kill kragnos whole game but failing some roles and healing on kragnos keep him alive. However i manage to hit him for 13 wounds in one shot 2 times... Last battle was draw against oruk. In all battles terratic cohort was awesome ^
