An Idea...Adeptus Mechanicus Exploritory Force

[BrainDeleted]

well I have always wanted to do an Adeptus Mechanicus kind of force and have never really be interested in Tech Guard using doctrines so I got the idea to make trail rules for them and see if they work out with proxies and in friendly non torniment games

I got plenty of ideas for it and I figured the coolest way to do it would be making rules for an exploratory/Tech questing force with plenty of fun/zany rules for tech relics and experimental tech that such a force would possess

Just wondering if anyone thinks it would be cool or would help out with this little project

[Cagarner]

I can help Firstly, here is a table of rank organisation within the adepetus mechanicus that might be useful: http://www.cg-multimedia.com/Image%2...chranks8wo.jpg

That would be WD 305, I think. Yeah, Dave Taylor (I saw him at Adepticon!!!) made an Adeptus Mechanicus army using the Lost and the Damned rules.

[Dan296]

that would work really well!
the different mutations would be implants. chaos spawn could be like archo-flaggelant type things
big mutants=praetorians or some other high-implant smasher thing O' doom

the only obvious thing missing would be lots of tanks, though you could take defilers as some weird A.M. walker.

[MSguardsmen]

lets see this is what Dave Taylor did.

this is the list he used.


alright in his tech-guard squad dave has given them a tech priest and enginseer. the lascannon was given sentinel legs and looks like a walker

the combat servitors are pretty much ogres with lots of green stuff and wires.


sorry thats about all the help i can give you.

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

i know this o****eracts the desire to make a new list, but the LatD army list is great for ad mech (or, more specifically, a knight world list). defilers make a perfect knight. possessed can be combat servitors, while mutants can (with a bit of imagination) make all sorts of enhanced nasties. traitors can be lightly armoured skitaari, and of course theres all the Ig stuff. the chaos lietenant can be a magos leader. obliterators make great ogryn servitors (at a stretch)

i love that list! it also makesa kickass genestealer cult list no limousines mind you...

[Templar Mikeel]

This sounds like a really interesting list. I can't wait until you get some more rules up and, if you do model an entire Ad-Mech aremy, some pics of the models.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

I'm all for AdMec list, so i'll be watching this one for a while, contributing whenever. I originally wanted to make one, but the list i made was too true to AdMec style, too versatile, too many options. (pardon my bad grammar but...)My head went and near got its self exploded before i finally decided that i would give up, at least to rest my brain.

Oh and crank up the Lord's point costs a bit, and up the armoury poitns a bit too (they are MECHANICUS lords after all)
points crank up cause i think 38/50 is a bit overpowered for Master Crafted BP/Power Weapon at base

[hairyyahoo]

i came accross this on warseer when searching to inspiration, see what you think,

[Torquemada Coteaz]

that...is...awesome...
though to be fair i envisioned mechanicus vehicles to be much less... cut-from-a-mould-like ;P
but i like the infantry, very mechanicus-y

[BrainDeleted]

I found an old List GW actual made for ad-mech! It has pretty much anything you could imagine the ad-mech having its very tasty but not legal of course but If anyone wants to see it just ask I'll e-mail it to you (its too big to post on this site) and there is no copy right on it

[Stubber]

Do you have a link to it??
If not I'd like to have an e-mailed copy.

[BrainDeleted]

can I set a link up to it I only have it stored in my documents? Its not online or anything but you can see it once was official GW trail rules made by Andy something or other and sure give me you e-mail and I'll send it

EDIT: oh I see your e-mail...

And be for warned this list contain all sorts of extremely tasty weapons and war gear items, remenicent of 2nd edition

EDIT: OK I can't send atactments via the forum e-mail so give me your address PM me

[hairyyahoo]
