My Guard vs buddy’s AdMech, still playing 9th because 10th fucked both our factions, doing Tempest because fixed objectives suck. Also only 1k points. I brought a bit of a meme list because my guard have been undefeated in our play group (vanquisher russ w/ the reroll tank ace, deathstrike, ogryn instead of bullgryn, triple scout sentinels in a single unit with plasma cannons that I intended to charge with). The weird thing is that this objectively worse version of my list costs more points, thank you James Workshop.

Highlights:

  • A deathstrike doing literally nothing all game because it’s so easy to avoid (I could have taken the lame missiles but it’s godslayer or nothing)
  • The Vanquisher Russ needing to command reroll 2 wound rolls to do anything (though it did one-shot an onager and kill two breachers)
  • The Datasmith just charging a plasma Russ and living the rest of his days in melee because I had nothing to charge him with and nothing with good enough shooting to justify falling back
  • 3 sentinels living in melee with a tech priest all game while holding his deployment objective
  • Only living models at end of game: deathstrike, 2 tech priests, 3 skitarii rangers

Final Score: Guard 67-AdMech 37

      As I remember it:

      1x Tech Priest Dominus

      1x Tech Priest Manipulus

      1x Cybernetica Datasmith w/ the teleport relic

      15x Skitarii Rangers

      5x Skitarii Vanguard

      3x Kataphron Breachers (h arc rifles)

      5x Fulgurite Electro-Priests

      5x Pteraxi Sterilyzers (in deep strike)

      2x Kastelan Robots (flamer, 1 fist, 1 gun)

      2x Onager Dunecrawlers (neutron laser)

      I think forge world was Lucius. One of the tech priests was the warlord but I totally forget WLT.

        Nice list and thanks! I’m also running admech, but the one game I played (500 pts, 8th ed I think?), I got tabled by my friend’s TSons. But at least I got to zap Ahriman in the face with s volkite!

        Good stuff, comrade

            Not to worry, I also have two whole squads of Deathwatch! They gotta be in good shape, right? They’re space marines, so they should be fine, r-right?!
