Admech 10th edtion codex reaction. How much does Tak love Stilt-man? 

The army has been transformed from a glass-canon into a glass-nerfgun

Tak seems to be trying to be as polite as possible while selling us something that just doesn't sound that good. There is an awkwardness to the entire video that you can feel. :(

The lack of excitement was clear, this codex is a let down. The stilt man model is lacking, not having an army rule that effects the whole army kinda missed the point of it being an "army" rule. There may still be some little combos to work out but so far no one has shown any real excitement.

Wow, they made a Cybernetic Detachment and passed the chance to reales maybe a second Cybernetic unit.

My biggest issue with admech is how doctrina imperatives are so deployment zone focused. The extra ap into opponents deployment zone will often only be relevant if you go first and if you’re on the no man’s land objectives you aren’t getting any benefits aside from heavy.

My main issue with the new Skatros model is that it is a waste of plastic and money. It’s rules aren’t very good, and it doesn’t fill a roll the admech don’t already have access too. Every admech battleline unit can take an arquebus rifle that’s just a little weaker than the skatros’. And in terms of getting a unit to sit on your home objective, the ranger unit has sticky objectives and the admech army rules already encourage you to build a gun castle in your deployment zone anyway. GW really was so set on making a new Skitarii character model for this new edition admech, we have plenty of Skitarii units without leaders: the Pteraxii flyers, the Serberys cavalry, the Sicarian units, even the walkers the Ironstriders and Dragoons. Would’ve loved a new leader unit for any of these but no, GW continues to prove they have a toddler locked up somewhere making all the decisions for the admech faction.

Small correction on the Hunter Cohort: all Skitarii get the stealth no matter the range but Sicarians get cover outside 12"

Recommend Genefather by Guy Haley for in-depth look at AM in current setting. Great read with Cawl in lead role

All the matches I saw where people used the rad cohort the bombardment always did so many wounds. I just wish AdMech would receive buffs to the stats rather than making everything less points. The army is already one of the most expensive ones due to that.

Having to say the "army rule" only affects about half the army sucks. I really don't understand why GW thought this was a good idea and could let it pass. I miss my Doctrinas and Canticles from 9th ed. Yeah they could be complicated at first but once you were used to them they were awesome and felt accurate to the armies lore. The new army rule being limited to both only certain units AND based around deployment zones is just plain bad compared to what other factions can bring to the table. Its so situational that for my last two games I've plain forgot to use it.

Thank you for this showcase video!!

I think as a brand new player, and as of this comment I only just started building, so I haven't played yet, but what drew me to the AdMech army is their variety. Even though they are primarily more defensive and shooting, I like how they can sort of flip and either building more offensive/defensive, but still be able to flip. With the new detachments, that makes me far more excited because it builds more into that. I feel like, going in, there's an extra layer of strategy that I can play into, and I think that's very exciting!

Nice showcase!!

A "glass cannon shooting army"? No buddy, a Glass Army.

Good to see your admech, even tho its worth 250 points wich costed you 5000 bucks

I just love Nick. He's such a jovial guy.

My only disappointment with the admech for tenth is that all we got for new models was stiltboy

Happy they buffed Rad-Zone Corps. I'm def in the camp that really likes it. Though at the time of its release, it did leave an admech player wanting.

Your enthusiasm is appreciated but sadly it seems this edition is not good for the OMNISIAH. I have seen a few lists I’m sure will do ok in tournaments, maybe win one if no one brings Eldar. But that doesn’t speak well fi the books quality. We have few list building options, and thkse we have to remain viable depend on spamming a few combos over and over combos that are weaker than what other factions have. I still can’t get over how it seems like this codex was designed bombs different planet that the space marine codex.

The energy in ttheir song is infectious; it's impossible not to get swept up in it. Was also wondering have you heard of October Ends? Their new song is fire! You should react to it

Stilt guy can look really cool with some kit bashing

The stilty boy might be useful eventually but its kind of a stretch now. Maybe precision will get a buff eventually, its a pretty rare keyword.

My issue is I can’t get more of the first 10 seconds of this vid cuz lack of money lol. Great stuff

Shoting army? 1/3 of the codex is melee or hybrid; the only edition where AdMech ran almost exclusively shooting was 8th (the shootiest of all Editions). Pidgeonholing AdMech as a gunline army is just wrong considering their roster.

Any one else think Nick should play Admech? He could be AdNick.... or MechaNick!!!

This was REALLY good, thank you for the level headed and considered review guys! Also, I don't understand how people are not loving that stilt-guy. When I saw that mini was the moment I realized that admech is MY faction. I'm now making my first non-CombatPatrol army an admech army :)

I swear I also heard a tickle playstyle!

The worst part of this codex is how so much of my plastic army is worthless. The balance swings shift between models on editions to keep my buying. But I sat out 10th.

Nick is my favorite human :)

Stilt Man is the only Ad Mech mini that I really want.

The walker keyword is probably more prevalent than you think. Sure, it isn’t as prevalent as say infantry or the like but most of the armies currently have at least 1 with the exception of maybe GSC, tyranids, drukhari, demons, and leagues. Most imperial armies have some kind of dreadnought equivalent (warsuits, dreadknight, sentinels, penitent engines, etc). Chaos has defilers, fiends, helbrutes, & venomcrawlers. Xenos have battlesuits, killa cans, def dreads, war walkers, wraithlord, doom stalkers, reanimators, and the triarch stalker.

The Skitallri or Stilttari if you will, is just a fun mini if anything it helps add to the wacky but tech obsessed mentality of AdMech

Hi Nick, a non warhammer question for you.......are you planning any more Star Wars Legion games in 2024??

Nick who? Never seen that guy before. Great to see you getting new presentors.

I know there's been a disappointment in the codex but won't this bring back the glory of admech like early 9th edition but at least they have more fun rules to bring on battlefield And could you do battle report of new admech combat patrol vs old admech combat patrol?

Tak, what are all the re-rolls you are hinting at? Cawl has re-roll 1s (worst pick 1 of 3 commander ability in the game) Breachers get re-rolls. Marshal can make you worst damage dealers re-roll the hits. So we basically have Breachers with (relevant) re-rolls :/

I'd kitbash my stilts boy to remove the stupid stilts and give him jet turbine back pack.

GW have more or less turned an elite army into a hoard army that is point per dollar and the army rule doesn't apply to the hole army

Warhammer 40K, the whole concept as a game, is shooting itself in the foot by trying to shove these codexes into our throats. If you really want this game to go mainstream, you need to have free rules with the models you buy. Forcing players to buy a book and making it obsolete a few years later is not a good strategy for the game. It weeds out all the "casuals" and forces you to become a sort of "elite" nerd in order to keep up with all the editions of the game and what rules applies to your army at a certain point in time. For the hardcore diehard players, this works but for your usual person who has other hobbies than painting miniatures all year long, this does nt work.

5:47 : rerolling everything ? aren't they only rerolling hits and if they are close to an object or the enemy is, re-rolling 1 to wounds ? Or did I missed something ?

Lol i really dont like the "stilt man" model. They are gonna have to make that OP as hell to sell them.

Nick has a wife?

Is staying in GW's good books more important than being honest to your viewers?

So everything will be more balanced cuz everything will be more basic and lame. great.

I'm so sad that gw did this to ad mech, the detachments make me want to vomit and the enhancements are even worse, rad zone is somewhat okay, hunter cohort is okay if you build your list around it, exploration maniple is a joke requiring you to jump through some massive hoops for crumbs, what other faction is made in such a way where a 3rd of its units dont have access to the faction rule on top of having to specialize massively to gain benefit from a detachment, other then rad zone there are no generalist detachments really and even when you specialize the usefulness is kinda lacking. I am salty, it's my own fault. why did they do this to a faction? It's on me for getting into ad mech before the drop because i was excited to see something cool and play something new, I've always liked and wanted to play ad mech it just sucks being punished for it on top of the outrageous prices for the models. The removal of vengeful fallout is pretty bullshit too, if they at least replaced what they removed I would say okay but no, they just stripped out things that made ad mech unique and didnt bother to replace any of it, cool, great job gw. lastly look at the strats for these detachments, wtf.

Me when necrons and admech get a 10e codex before black Templar

Nick knows that admech are in bad spot but he really tries to look impressed by the very mediocre rules lol :D
