Panzerkopf Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I was planning to use Daemonhunters since I would have access to both grunt Skitarii in the form of Inducted Guard platoons as well as scary 3+ and 2+ saves to represent the more elite Martian units like Secutors from Dark Heresy.The only problem is that the new Grey Knights codex that's supposedly in the works is rumored to be completely devoid of allies. So I'm here now looking for suggestions from you more veteran Mechanicus afficcionados. Bear in mind that I'm really attached to Guard-style Skitarii platoons. Thanks in advance.

ghosty Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Well if you're dedicated to using the Inquisition as a base for you Skitarii I'd go with the Witch Hunters, you'll have the options for inducted guard/marines and all the cool stuff you can gear out your inquisitors/SoB squads. Another option I propose to you is the Tempus Fugitives Cult Mechanicus codex, it's a fandex, yes, but it's a very well made and balanced fandex, if your gaming group's willing to let you give it a try I think you'll find it be a fun list. Although if your group is as closed to such an idea as a nun is to a BDSM convention then go with WH/inducted guard. A final option you could try is Blood Angels with DH allies which is an idea I've been kicking about since I first read the codex.

Panzerkopf Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks. Part of why I wanted to use DH was also for the superior Grey Knights statline. I like the idea of lots of mediocre or worse troops stiffened by a ridiculously hard elite. I love the Sisters but they just couldn't match up to a Secutor in terms of statline. Do you have a link to the Temus Fugitives codex? My group is really chill.

ghosty Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Sure, newest version is the Horus Heresy edition for their current series of campaign weekends and hopefully in the next few months we'll finally see 6.1 released with all the final goodies from THH implemented.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I actually think you can do a really good AM army using the guard codex, lots of infantry platoons and armour without the uber SM armour, which is a bit OP for the ad-mech.
