I think this list is looking quite strong, but I’m open to any advice as a newer player to Ad Mech. I intend to post weekly updates and list changes after each game, if you all are interested!

I’m mostly looking for thoughts on Thulia and the detachments. I think that Rad Zone is quite strong and we know Lords is good, but there just haven’t been enough tourney results to make a real judgement.

I’ve literally never played my Admech before, but this list seemed pretty decent simply off the back of dishing out a decent amount of mortals and being shockingly kill-y, considering the fact that 890 points of this list are in characters. Rerolling the manipulus’s attacks off the back of the marshals seems very, very good to me. Maybe this list is booty, but I’d love all of your opinions.

I’m playing the same Chaos knights list I’ve been working with, with one minor change

Infernal Lancer

Lancer (blasphemous engine)
Despoiler (double gat) warlord

3 karnivores
2 stalkers with meltas and claws
1 stalker with chain cannon and claw <— my anti tank is fantastic, whereas my volume is not (can still change this if you all disagree)

2 beasts
2 nurglings
1 plaguebearers

Looking for any advice on how to play the list, particularly into defilers and T’au. Besides for space marines (which I think this list plays very well into), there are more DG, CSM, and Tau than anything else. In my experience, I just get obliterated by the tau in particular.

Thanks in advance!

Hi friends, just curious how you all would go about playing this list (or make any changes, so long as the meltas stay). It’s rocking the maximum number of these glorious guns as possible (20 — 13 big ones and 7 small ones). Playing this later tonight for game against some salamanders, so we’ll see how it goes.

A frankly unreasonable amount of meltas (2000 Points)

Bit of an odd request. A buddy of mine wants to test an ultramarines list (gladius task force) into the single worst chaos knights matchup possible. Help me build their lists hell.

They’re running:

Guilliman
The annoying little Phobos lieutenant
A big blob of vitrix
2 rep executioners
2 ballistus dreads
The wardens of ultramar
And a lot of other random little things that don’t end up mattering a ton.

Help me build a list to fight this using literally anything in our arsenal.

(A note: double Gatling despoilers play really poorly into this list in my experience, and cannot reliably kill what they need to)
