Brother Glacius Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 I finally got my codex after waiting a freaking month for GW to complete my order. Holy [big bad swear word] balls. Why in the world would I ever want to order directly from GW if it still takes a god damn month?? Anyways...as I said, I finally got the book. I started reading it and half way through I hit the rules.....wait a minute..half way through the book and hit the rules? That is right, half of the freaking codex is rules. Hence the topic. Are there some courses out there that I can take that will teach me how to play Ad Mech? I thought 40K was supposed to be the Pew Pew game...not something I need to start a dissertation on. Ugh. Help? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I haven’t read the new codex, but the Adeptus Mechanicus have always been one of the more complex factions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a full PHD 😛 Art of War and Goonhammer are your best bets https://www.goonhammer.com/goonhammers-guide-to-the-adeptus-mechanicus/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spend about as much time in the Command Phase as an Ork army does in Movement 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 They have lots to do in the command phase, and then a bucket of dice to roll in the shooting phase. I have seen people use cards to help mark what all is going on with their units. But I agree, Art of War and Goonhammer are your best bets. Otherwise Youtube and watch battle reports to see how people handle keeping all the rules straight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Yeah, I played an Admech player last month. It was a fun game and he had taken the time to make little tokens for all his rules. This helped a bit. But I was still horribly confused with their rules. The Admech player said that the day before he had been to a tournament. He said he had a great deal of difficulty keeping track of all the rules. He also said that, even with his little tokens, his 3 opponents were all really confused. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I have not played my Ad Mech since the new codex dropped - They changed quite a bit for me - and my existing army is invalid now. I shelved them until I am done with finishing up my Dark Eldar - which are fantastically fun to play. -d 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of versatility but it is hard to tone it down to make games close... Ad Mech are Skitarii heavy atm but the Chickens are super good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
