Ok Im a bit easily confused but the whole detachments thing can confound me. How do i take some big tank in an AM army? How does that effect the whole battle forged and use of strategiums etc? Just looking at starting in Mechanicus and want to consider all options.

For any Imperial force you can take any unit from the different armies. For a Patrol detachment you could take a Company Commander and an Inquistor for HQs, and some Guardsmen, Skitarii, and Space Marines as troops (at least that my understanding). You can also use multiple detachments in your list, like an AdMech Spearhead and a Primaris Vanguard. So to get a Baneblade just take a Super-Heavy Auxillary detachment and boom, Baneblade. There's no restrictions or limitations in this instance.

 

Just make sure that your AdMech detachment is AdMech only. If you take a unit from a different Imperial faction in your AdMech detachment the whole detachment loses the ability to use Canticles, which you'll absolutely need.

On a barely related note the abreviations around here are getting super confusing. I had to take a double look as I thought he was asking how to put a baneblade in an Astra Militarum list.

IG is the only acronym for the Emperor's Hammer that I recognize!
