Really excited to see this in action! Good luck stig! =D
Very cool, your army is beautiful! I recently listened to a story about the Admech on YouTube called “Abomination” that really describes the actual Grimdark of the Admech, it really changed my mindset about then narratively, which was more like them being like battle droids and just saying “roger roger”, lol.
Sounds like a terrible list to face competitively and I am looking forward to seeing them face down the enemies of the Machine God! Good luck Sir!
Good luck Stig 👍
This list looks really spicy. I’m looking forward to seeing it in action! Glad you’re on board of the League now, mr. Stig.
Glad to see Stig in the league and the gloves off with his admech. Enjoying these breakdown videos, they add alot of context when it comes to watching the actual games.
Dear Stig,
I would like to know if the hero of the admech, the one and only electro priest that slaughtered so much of Beard’s army last time is part of the list. If so can he be named? Given last time I am certain that we will see more of his heroics and who knows, he might just do well enough to kill a certain enrage demon primarch!
All the best and really looking forward to your league games!!!
The unfortunate last place finisher in the league should be forced to have Stig saying Skitarii as their ring tone. Got to up those stakes a little!
Looks like a pretty savage list! I pity the poor unit that gets to feel the tender love of a fully buffed 20-man Galvanic Volley. I’m curious what you think of Kataphron servitors now that they’ve received core. Do they still fall short compared to regular Skitarii? Breachers in particular seem like they would be pretty beefy in Lucius, and with access to many of the same tricks as the Fulgurites (3d6 charge, fight last strat). Is their output just not as impressive, or is it their large base footprint and mediocre mobility that holds them back? The prevalence of… Read more »
The secondary for killing vehicles above 8 wounds, and units with warlord traits/relics is actually very good and flexible. 3 vp for unit is quite nice!
I think the horde style will go very well with the meta shift of free meltas/lots of tanks/heavy weapons. Can’t wait to see what happens!
The density and complexity of Admech rules and buffs etc just cooks my brain every time. Idk how anyone remembers all this stuff, hats off to you all! Lol
This list is so mean, it makes Nurgle sick 🤣😅
Rooting for you Stig 🔥🔥🔥
I wanted Custodes. Good luck Stig.
OK, the Ruststalkers and Infiltrators compel my forgiveness.
So happy to see Stig in the league and looking forward to some regular releases with him! Surely one of you are going to play World Eaters right?! If Spider is playing Orks then Beard or Bard, who will put on the brass collar and rev your chainaxe?
Stig with a competitive Admech list, this is gonna be good.
At this point, Beard needs to bring World Eaters. Watching Angron turning a unit of 20 Skitarii into blood mist will be Epic!
Of course if Stig wins turn one, Angron will be benched for a while by those same Skitarii, but at least he won’t be shooting rhinos with that unit.
So far these lists are fairly mean, I’m not sure how Lawrence is going to do with Orks. Bring a Weird Boy with Da Jump and force people to screen…sometimes the Old Ways are best.
Some say he used to be a Manipulus but was disqualified when he lost the weight.
Some say he thinks the flesh is weak but has no bionics because he’s scared of needles.
Some even say he is the machine spirit of Toasters
All we know….is he’s called the Stig.
Artisans is interestingly placed on the Manipulus since the action to move to the advanced portion starts at the beginning of the command phase. Losing out from their buffs for a turn can be huge. (Happily been corrected on this!)
I’m building for Archeovault and Banners too but Eradication of Flesh as my third with my expected large units of Robots now supported by Ballistarii making it pretty easy to score as well.
Love to see you on admech! Huge potential for exiting games. Thanks man
Smiles and nods…. Just so long as you tell us what each thing does at the time of using it stig! I’ve never got my head round all the buffs and shenanigans admech do 🤣
Damn, was hoping for Custodes. Still, more players, more games 😉
