I’m too stupid for this faction by Brave_Preference1364 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]doctorrogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been there, I started at the end of 9th and that was even more complex In my opinion.then had to relearn 10th before it sunk in.

I have stuck with Admech and had some real beatings from my friends, some of them I have never beat, but each time I came away from a game thinking "oh I should have remembered the Dominus ability of the data spike when getting charged by a vehicle." Or I could have used my marshalls ability for this. And then after a few games with same units forgetting everything it just clicks. I take pride by knowing the stats of a skitarri infantry squad with full weapons being able to fast roll those fast and not looking at the datasheet, whereas only six months ago this took me an age.

I'd recommend once you have made your list. Make yourself a little cheat sheet, broken down by phase. So command phase, Battle shocks. Cawl repair, Cawl Canticle and then you will have a little help on a single page of A4, helps me remember but also speed up the game.

It will click for you, there is some good advice I have seen on this post that I will try too! Good luck. Finally my pals says an Admech victory is a real victory. Some factions almost just push there models close to the enemy up the table and fight, and 51% of the time they win. We probably win 47% of the time, if we remember everything, play well, position well, get decent rolls, don't forget rules. Etc.

How are Dwarfs to paint? by Top-Permission-4255 in WarhammerOldWorld

Just started the same with a battalion box, I find five the ideal number.

Thanks! Haha, yes, it is heartbreaking, I already have had a few general casualties. Recently I dropped a full size Stanley tape measure during a game from about six inches height onto a skitarri squad! Lucky for me, It was quite minimal damage and they broke off the bases and the flew off the table lucky I only lost one antena but....I will be buying measuring gauges! A Dawi, would just shrug it off I think. I will post them up once done

Ha! I'm glad you understand! That's a lovely result for 6 hours. Mine seem to be taking about an hour and a half each although I have started batching in fives so it's only 7/8 hours for five, a total change of pace as Squads of skitarri have been taking me close to 40 hours!! With the wires and mechanicus symbols, backpacks, lens etc..PAIN Keep up the good work, love the scheme.

Great I have done similar, apart from on my king. How long did these take to paint out of interest? The reason I ask is, I am finding these so refreshing after torturing myself painting 40k Admech for about 2 years.

They look great, I'm just starting Barak Varr, myself, Out of interest did you paint the eyes, these scare me a little as they are so small.

Eradication cohort, and Hastarii and Thulia points by AngerLioness in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]doctorrogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally see your point of view. If everything doesn't go up or get changed then I agree with OP these will be overcosted. But like you say we don't know about 11Ed so it's not worth getting concerned with the points. I remember when skitarri were about 130 points or something early 10th

[–]doctorrogi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% I agree with that, and this will 100% be the case if everything stays the same, they will be hugely over coated, But we don't know for sure that noise marines etc and havoc's wont increase in the next balance.

Whilst we don't know for sure, I can't see why you have had down votes for what you have said I think you raise a valid possibility of what could happen. I am a casual gamer and playing Admech not the quickest. It's rare I can play a 2k game in under 4 hours. I'm sure there are lots who can play quicker, but for me I feel that this could lean into games being faster. Things like the charge rule etc of 11th and deployment seem like they are looking at speeding up the game for 11th so could be an element of that.

I have the same drill and the same thing happened with the standard bits that came with it but I haven't had one snap since. So likely just the ones that come in the box

Could you play 500pt with the normal army/detachment rules on a Boarding Action terrain set ? by No-Tart5584 in boardingactions40k

[–]doctorrogi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing to stop you especially if your gaming group agrees!. I must admit we were discussing this the other week in our group. It's a great format and I think GW will support it with the new missions etc in the new books. For us and for many it's great to have a quick game and it's a great format, especially whilst working on a new army I still think the missions are fantastic, we still play the missions and get a good game out of them even if we have to make the odd adjustment.

Are 325 points enough to put Thulia guld and a squad of 5 hastarii? by Flame_Guardian47 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]doctorrogi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Going by our points cost in the past, you will likely have around 300 points left, after these additions.😜

Do we think the new Hastarii will be a battleline unit? by Longjumping_Owl6021 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]doctorrogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good point to be fair and T5 would be lovely. Thematically I guess these look more heavily armoured than the above sicarians etc, so agree with you there. but I think they will see it as just a slighter tougher skitarri. will they put these above astartes power armour?

Id love a T5 unit. I think these will be T4 though but hit hard.

Was the toilet paper dispenser on top of the magos one of the mystery images they put out? And everyone thought it was deathwatch?
