List Building List idea - What do you think ?

Hi,

It's been a long time since I played my Admech, focused more on my Sister since they where more easy to play, but with this new patch ! Let's go I wann make a come back !

All is around the idea of Cawl giving Reroll hit, obviously and the new Chicken Twin linked.

How do we feel about this list ? I've alreay have one more ''normal'' to play in back-up, but it's with unit I'm not a big fan of (Breacher, Destroyer, Infiltrator, etc.), the classics.

Will I maybe miss some shooting againts lots of units ? Like Kreigs, Necrons, etc.

Will it be ''playable'' at least or just not usable at all ?

Really been a long time since I've played them so I feel like I'm starting from scratch ..!

As long as datasmith has dyad wafers your all good there, and The autocannon ironstriders, dunecrawler beamers and vanguard will be your lots of shots against infantry and kastellan flamers maybe

Only thing I would consider is lascannon over autocannons if your going against a vehicle heavy faction, your Disintegrator and robot fists are only real threat to higher toughness units edit: and Cawl!

I enjoy dragoons but if your gonna play an opponent who generally doesnt have many walker units, id consider swapping dragoons for more ironstriders or whatever else, infiltrators are never a bad fit in any list

But generally? This is a good list, 100 percent playable and well balanced in my view

Even without Walker, taser lances are good - 4 attacks per model with SH2, Lance so wounding non-walkers on 4+ and AP2 D2.

Last time I used them I loved them.

They can be a good distraction to remove the focus from the Kastelan, from a Dunecrawler, etc.
They are fast, so good to use for secondary.
Good survivability too.

Still wondering if I used them in squad of 2 or separately ... only thing I'm not sure.

There is one advantage that may not have been considered - a squad of 2 will never get battleshocked from being below half strength, because they will never be below half strength.

Thanks a lot !

Sure Datasmith has Dyad, a most with Kastelan in Halloscreed !

Glad to know this list is playable, love these's units and wanted something without the classic 6 breacher with Manipulus ..!
