Warhammer 40k Codex Adeptus Mechanicus

Product Information

It heavily incentivizes you to try and keep the enemy back so they suffer gradual chip damage from the detachment ability, and rewards you for combining Battleline Skitarii with more specialized helpers. Stash that with a Tech Priest and some Fulgurites for a nasty counter-charge threat, or honestly just put it on Corpuscarii and they’ll kill stuff in two phases. Looming above the processions of Skitarii Vanguard and trundling Kataphron Breachers , a curious figure makes its first appearance. If you’ve never been on the receiving end of an Omnipulus it, on average , killed about five and a half 2W marines each time it shot, regardless of cover or invulnerable saves. It feels like its niche ends up being “all-rounder shooting” – the abilities aren’t locked as hard to specific Keywords as some other Detachments, and handing out re-rolls, Lethal Hits and Sustained Hits with relatively minimal overhead means you’re generally pretty good at withering the enemy away.

The Dunerider has had a bit of a rework and now has a cool fire support rule where if it scores any hits against a target, the unit that has disembarked from it gets to reroll wound rolls against that same target. Likewise, their Stratagems all tend to revolve around this concept with the ability to make your selected objective “sticky” so you can move off it and still control it. While within range on your Acquisition objective, each phase you can change either a Hit, Wound, or Save to an unmodified 6. The original Rad-zone Corps detachment got an update to their Bombardment rule that lets things work a bit better.After everything is deployed and you’ve determined who goes first, this enhancement lets you redeploy three units of Skitarii Infantry (including putting them into Strategic Reserves). You can either choose a Power Source, or roll a second die in the hopes of finding a more specific component – a Weapon Part , a Force Field Part , or a Techno-arcana Part . Whether you're embarking on narrative Crusade campaigns or engaging in Combat Patrol skirmishes, this codex is your key to mastering the merciless mechanical war machine of the Omnissiah. I don’t expect to see this one used that often but watch one will pop up that will wreck my Chaos guys. Equally though, with a different army build you might rather sit back and get the benefits of +1 to hit from heavy.

Congratulations, you have 59 ranged attacks, Lethal Hits, full hit rerolls (reroll everything that’s not a 6), at AP-1. Once per turn you pick an enemy vehicle and make them take a leadership test, on a pass they are -1 to hit when shooting and on a fail they are not allowed to shoot at all that turn. Adeptus Mechanicus models with the Doctrina Imperatives faction keyword all gain access to Doctrina Imperatives. IN 30K there are a ton of robots, and you know how GW loves to move things over from resin to plastic.This is an involved process of collecting Location Data from Crusade battles, as you perform scans and gather clues – the perfect task for an Explorator Maniple .

The Syondian Skatros will be released alongside Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus , a tome of sanctioned and sanctified machine learnings, and your primary source of information for the Cult of the Omnissiah in the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. As for Enhancements we get a way of freeing a unit from battleshock, one that grants fights first and another that allows a unit to have both of the two Cult abilities active at the same time, but my favourite one has to be mantle of the Gnosticarch which other than being really hard to say when filming a battle report, makes the character change the damage of any attack allocated to them to 1. This can help you get into position to pop off your other shooting tricks, or just rapidly bundle lots of models onto an objective.Like any good conclave of fanatical worshippers, the Adeptus Mechanicus cannot agree on how best to worship the Machine God of Mars, and their many sects each have their particular way of veneration through the act of war. We’ll be having a full deep dive into what all of these detachments do, and delve into the awesome narrative Crusade content later in this review. Toss this on a Dominus for an all-but-guaranteed 2 damage Devastating Wound attack at 24″ range during each shooting phase.
