badgermeister Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi Ive noticed a few organised gaming events for the 30k background. The one I'm looking is this one http://thetwelveolympians.co.uk/events/horus-heresy-massacre/ all being well i should be able to attend but work commitments do take priority sadly so too early to say for certain. Regardless, I'm looking at running admech as a 2k list for this event and need a little help as my 30k experience is limited and when its acknowledged that 'primarchs are in' then i need to be able to face one down. Here is my current draft Archmagos Sataeral + 3 cyber occularis 330 Techpriest Auxillia + 1 extra adept, + 4 extra servo automata, all laslocks, Lacrymata 113 20 x tech thralls, induction chargers, revenant alchemistry 105 5 x thallax, 1 x photon thruster, 5 x MBs 265 3 x castellax (2 x mauler, 1 x melta, 1 x power blades, 6 x flamers) 295 Thanatar + paragon of metal 275 2 x Krios venators 300 It comes in just shy of 1700pts and I'm unsure which direction to go as i'm undecided and need to fill out any potential weaknesses here especially when primarchs are about. I am thinking of a land raider with exploratory web to muck up my opponents reinforcements with a different weapon load out. I also have primaris lightnings available to use so a couple of kraken penetrators would be great for popping a spartan should one turn up. Any suggestions? any criticism so far?

Reclusiarch Darius Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You can cut Sataeral, he's way overpriced for what he does. For facing down Primarchs you could try this guy: Malagra Arch-Magos w/master-crafted paragon blade+chainfist, rad grenades, cyber-familiar, Machinator array, Abeyant, cyber-occularis (255 points) You'll still probably get smashed TBH, all the Primarchs are amazing in melee. But he'll tie one up for a while. Don't really need the Auxilia, I'd take a Magos Dominus instead to hand out buffs to your robots. Just remember to hide him, as he doesn't have the IC rule. Drop the meltabombs off the Thallax, they don't need them. I'd take 2x units of 3 and give them each a photon thruster. I'd split up the Castellax, makes it harder for your opponent to kill them all in one go. I'd also give them enhanced targeters and darkfire cannons. Thanatar is actually pretty good for tying up Primarches as well. Enhanced targeter on him too if you can. With your 300 or so points leftover, I'd look at adding some more Thallax or maybe another Thanatar.

Emperor's Furor Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 What are your thoughts on the standard loadout for Tech Thralls, laslocks or mitralocks?

Reclusiarch Darius Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 What are your thoughts on the standard loadout for Tech Thralls, laslocks or mitralocks? Laslocks. Not that it really matters, because you're BS2, but that extra bit of range far outweighs re-rolling to wound with the tiny number of hits you normaly inflict.
