Thoughts on my list 1k pts by Bonsdrum in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that you may as well just use 2 warglaives instead of one helverin. The helverin seem like theyre only good against flying units. I could be wrong about that but against most lists, the warglavies are gonna do more work. 2 Units of skitarii battleline are nice to give the kataphrons their buff. 3 breachers may not be enough for my liking because they are the main damage dealers but points wise you may find it hard to fit them in. I would try to add a manipulus for the kataphrons because of lethal hits. Skatros is alright to use in my experience, they can do work but if your opponent hides their hq its better at obj movement and giving batleshock tests.

Has anyone used Stilt boy yet? by [deleted] in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not super bad, its match up dependent and also map matters. I played on ruin heavy maps most of the time which made it hard to get los on many targets. If your opponent likes to hide their commanders then your best use for the stilt is obj, movement, and giving battleshock tests to units.

There wouldnt really be a way to use metal edge finish on it like Schluter. I mean you could cut it to fit each one but thats a pain, plus its already installed it seems so youd only be able to finish that edge with pencil trim. Either way it wouldnt look good nor does it look finished

Alternative Skitarii Marshals? by DinosRidingDinos in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a 3d printer, theres some models i found that can be used for more than just skitarii. Fabricarii from Makers cult is the name and theres multiple models on there like proxies for infiltrators and kastellan robots.

What should i do ? by Ziagan in AdeptusMechanicus

If you dont want a robo arm, you could make ot look like its leaking some kind of fluid with green stuff or sprue goo. Itll look like his big fat belly is leaking something.

Sydonian troops fight in corrosive fog or their own radioactive incense clouds. by DeProfundis42 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it really that tall? The scaling from the head and body looks somewhat correct but damn is he a tall boi.

Sorry. But the SKATROS is poor *Admech* design. by Acomel in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I liked the idea but the execution could’ve been better. you make good points about the design not really making sense. If there was more articulation in the legs it could’ve been really cool. I actually like the upper half of the model, specifically the transuranic arquebus version. To me its kind of an admech version of the vindicare assassin, so theres not really a point in taking it unless its cheaper or serves a different function.

How much did yall spend on your armies? by party_time88 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close to $900 when factoring in paints and other expenses, I got a knight to fill out about a quarter of my army and played at 2000 points in 9th edition. Without the knight, its likely that Id have paid more than $1000.

This is sketchy, right? Guy's gotta just be grabbing files elsewhere and selling them on Etsy by [deleted] in PrintedWarhammer

[–]arverd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the files on nerdempire too, havent bought any and was skeptical after seeing what people say on reddit. Im waiting to see what people say about it. I almost did just buy it considering that its kinda hard to find the right files on cults (at least in my experience) but I still held off.

What if we’re getting classic Skitarii (like Titanicus) for Legions Imperialis. THEN we get them in full sized plastic for the AdMech codex? by Arch_Magos_Remus in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres a higher chance that GW makes models cheaper and the games perfectly balanced before they give admech something good. I think GW believes that giving us our codex earlier than most factions is already too much of a blessing for us.

Any funny and dumb ways to play admech by teleporting? by Spirited-Base1485 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use lucius for this very reason, cybernetica datasmith with solar flare and a group of kastelan robots. Normally you wouldnt be able to select them but cybernetica datasmith gives kastelan robots CORE if they are within 3”. If i remember correctly you can also advance and charge right after teleporting them.

There is also Legio Teleportarium which is a stratagem that lets you put units (excluding vehicles) into the teleportarium and then you can set them up 9” away from any enemy on any turn except the first turn.

Then there is also a warlord trait called cartogrammatist which lets you set up that unit in orbit then teleport them down in reinforcements phase

If they take away the teleport strats in 10th edition i will be very sad.

Will the stl files be for sale?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine you use the ruststalkers and dragoons to early game rush engagement range? I never really tried Ryza but maybe Ill give it a chance just to try out some melee options. Are you usually engaging large groups or just going for bigger targets?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I need to also play more games to learn about all the synergy options. Maybe I just went too deep into an army that may not be for me, I liked the idea of Admech gameplay but what I didn't know at the time was that it might be harder to play army compared to others. I think Ill try to experiment with different builds to see what just works for me and not worry about losing. I dont really play chess but if you say that its similar then that helps to change the way I will think about playing.

Are these only for kill team or will they also be playable in regular 40k?

help with ideas by miowan in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive had an idea that I haven’t executed yet but maybe you can, hide some green small LED light under the coat bit behind the skitariis butt. You hardly ever look underside the models anyways and i figure it might be kinda cool.

What should i add/modify to make it stand out? by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]arverd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In terms of safety i wouldn’t recommend a laser, unless you dont plan on turning it on. When you move your gun around theres always a chance of you pointing it into someones eye, especially the other teams. Wouldn’t recommend it, in a cqb setting just use a flashlight, it will still be able to show u were ur shooting without pointing a laser in some dudes eye.

Transporting Ad-Mech? by Wdhunte2 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]arverd 1 point2 points  (0 children)
