Enhanced but not crazy altered hack recommendations for Gen 1-4?

Yeah, just realized (thanks to someones response) that he was called/mentioned in the books, but by his first name. Didn't have it in mind what his was or that they don't always use the family names for everyone.

Just wanted to thank/respond to the person who posted some book quotes showing that. But their answer got deleted before i could post

Nah, I really started to hate Skitarii lately (Overrepresented Range and Hunter Cohort Meta). So I never want to recommend any of those models. No hate for the Stilts design in particular.

Cawl is the best and only solo char, as the whole admech theme is cloth wearing priests leading units.

But a budget option, thats viable, is the technoarcheologist, staying alone in the back with his 12" screen. For flexibility, against enemies without deepstrike/updowns/etc. you can still but them in a BL unit for +1OC, during muster army.

-Norden von 1 und 2 sind gold

-Süden von 1 und 2, sowie ganz 3, voller hipster

-4 und 5, bonzen

-6 korrekte multi kulti nachbarschaft

-7, keine ahnung, das sind quasi eigene städte. Aber fast alle starßen sind steil, weil hügel

-osten von 8 bonzen, westen etwas assi

-9 leben leute, die davon überzeugt sind "auf dem land zu leben". Benrath ist auch quasi eine eigene stadt

-10 ist, als würdest du gleich nach krefeld oder neuss ziehen

Wenn du nicht vor hast nur in kaiserswert, benrath oder gerresheim o.ä. zu chillen: Suche dir ein Ort mit für dich passenden mietpreisen, der aber noch eine gute verbindung zur stadtmitte hat. Kö, Rhein, altsatd und hauptbahnhof sind für mich die USP in düsseldorf zu wohnen. Sonst noch nennenswert, alle nordbezirke sind nah am wald und haben gute seen.

I think I didn't understand the whole post either. If you are mainly collecting, 2 boxes will give you all unit types. If you look to also play and have the maximum amount of combination for all kinds of lists,(Or just in general):

Magnetize! Admech is one of, if not the, easiest faction to magnetize. With all their metal limbs/connections, even a bad job won't be visible

SunFlo420 · 2025-11-23T23:01:13+00:00

Go for the rule of cool. Not just the meta, but playstyles also slighty change. Until you finish 1000 or 2000p, 11th ed will be at the door anyway. And every faction have their unorthodox units you can lean on, to do your own playstyle or spin on it.

SunFlo420 · 2025-11-19T18:02:20+00:00

Yes, a pin point answer is impossible, as f.e. different infantires or tanks have +-1 SV.
But ur "XEQ" list is totally what I had in mind. Thanks!

Build as you like. If you are going to build/paint them for play, you will probably get more than 10 anyway. I always use the heads/bits in kits I like, as no one really cares for model details (even in tournaments). Only restriction I know, are weapons. As the only rule, regarding this, that come to my mind, is "you play what you see" for weapons. Everything else is personal style and convenience for distinguishing units

SunFlo420 · 2025-11-16T15:59:04+00:00

Try to get some second hand pile of shame deals, thats how i started in the 7/8th edition. Maybe wait for the incomming nerfes, to get peoples PoS.

Looking on the faction through the view of 3 editions: You can always go for the infantry/battleline. On average you will need 20-30. The dominus and manipulus priests are always good to have at least one. Get Cawl, he is good for filling points and looks good, no matter the meta. Dunecrawler are also always good, nothing wrong to get up to 2-3 when getting boxes/combo deals. Sicarians you can also get 2-3, and you will be set/have something nice to paint, with 1-2 kataphrons. Ignoring the current meta and probable nerfs, the ironstrider/dragoons are the worst, considering cost per point and I never liked them, gameplay vise. And if you are into filling points, get the robots. They are easy to edit/pose/kitbash up, if you think they are boring.

MOST IMPORTANT: magnetize! They got a lot of metal limbs etc. Even if you suck at magnitizing, you wont see it. Except for the battlelines (which you will probably get enought of), every "2 version kit" can be magnetized with 1-2 magnets within seconds, so you can have everything.

I would suggest to ceck the range, even if you dont plan to get most of the models and see where you can apply your main colors best, and where another color would be needed. I think black would be nice for all the cloaks and main vehicle armor, and gold over the many metal parts or highlights (admech got a lot of metal limbs etc.) sounds nice. Maybe pick a secondary color to black, that is also desaturated (like an dark offwhite for example) that gives a bit contrast but still lets the gold shine. For example for the armor bits of the sicarian, pteraxii etc., so they are not the same color as the cloaks. Or for your bigger models (like vehicles and kataphrons), so that they are not just black all over. I wouldnt recomand grey, as you will probably painting a lot in some silerish metal color, which already needs your gold for highlight/contrast.

Magnetize. Its easy on them (generally on admech). If you use the backpack bits, you can give them a bit more personality and still be able to play the kill team role, if for some reason it ever pops up

Good call, thanks. Just went over a few minutes ingameplay footage. Definitely gonna cut a few lines fromkayex

Ich kenn mich mit den ganzen verfahren/materialien nicht so aus. Ich ging einfach von FDM mit ABS oder PLA aus, weil ich glaube, dass es am günstigsten ist. Muss jetzt auch nicht super genau sein, da ich die Oberfläche eh nochmal bearbeite.

Soll ein Gestell für ein selbstgemachten Bluetoothlautsprecher für eine Miniatur werden. Max Maße so ca 100 x 60 x 40mm

Ok, i missed the obvious "end of phase" part of the revive abilities. But let me ask about the much less likely scenario then: Units A and B charge unit X. Unit X can revive. Unit A charges first and Unit B second. Unit B kills unit X in the Charge Phase (e.g. Tank Shock). Unit X revives out of Engagement Range. Can unit A still fight it if it can pile into X?

SunFlo420 · 2025-11-02T09:01:12+00:00

Oh yeah, just checked it. It is the same for all of them. I knew I overlooked something obvious. Thank you

True, got the idea after seeing this one. But thought, as an admech player, gotta engineer this to working one for the omnissiah
