AdMech, all Space Marine codices other than the big SM codex, kill Grey Knights, and combine each race into one codex.

MT let you have a special forces army while letting you have the human theme.
To avoid starting a pyramid I cut down the quotes.
For your question I assume you mean the Mechanicum. I'd believe the Tech-Priests would be maintaining technologies, checking for deviation from STC's and (at most) be defending their forge worlds from uprisings and Xenos. It's not their models that don't fit. It's just having them as an army that doesn't fit. I don't know too much about them but I don't imagine them mustering their own armies, on their own to go and fight Xenos. IIRC, when they want something, they petition the guard, or if it's really serious they get the Space Marines.
I get your point about the MT, they just have so few units and even fewer unique ones and if you want that feel you could just play Veteran Guard. I think they should be absorbed into regular AM TBH.
They still need to go out and search for technology and STC's. I can see why a secretive organisation wouldn't find this suitable for the Imperial Guard and sending Space Marines after things that may or may not exist seems a waste. So basically the Mechanicum armies are for things they don't want/can't use Guard and Astartes for.

But that wouldn't be an entire army, it would probably be a company at max. Imperial Guard take the planet, then the admech come in afterwards and look for stuff once it is all secured.

Read Gods of Mars and Lords of Mars and it will set it out quite nicely, from a time well before the existence of models for the Ad Mech.
Elements of the Ad Mech would be in a massive expedition along with the IG but would be equipped for fighting

To add to a previous point: every Forge World has a standing army of its own as well, and these aren't just generic Imperial Guard.
Basically they have a reason to exist, unlike the 5 seperate Marine books.

Rather than removing any factions, I prefer the idea of shaking up the current ones. I'd like to see the blood angels or dark angels turn traitor and become battle brothers with chaos. Or have the wolves turn Chaos forcing the 1000 Sons could go loyal. The wolves are damn near there. Give em a couple Khorn banners and they're set. I could even imagine one of the Chaos Gods turning on the others. If Slanesh helps kill off all of the CSM that worship Khorne, Khorn grows weaker and he can grow stronger. Now Slanesh is best buddies with Tau and Crons. I want the storyline to roll a little forward. Not crazy forward.. just a little.

I'd go with imperial knights, too. I'm not against imperials using them as lords of war, but trying to shoehorn a couple random giant robots as their own faction seems a little silly.

I'm sorry, I simply can't look at your forum picture-thing without bursting into laughter. The longer I look at it, the funnier it gets.
I don't mean that as an insult, quite the opposite. : D

No, he thought you misspoke. "Bite the bullet" means accept (or prepare) for something painful. "Buy the Farm" means to die. Mixing them Is kind of like "The straw that broke the bridge too far."

@Gobblar, you got me. I was drunk when I created this thread and that was the best excuse I could come up with : )
@IGtR=, dear God man/woman. What is that monstrosity in your profile pic. Too many blessings of the Dark Gods? Apologies if that is actually one of your minis. No offence intended.

Please note, for those of you who play Chaos Daemons as a faction the term "Daemon" is potentially offensive. Instead, please play codex "Chaos: Mortally Challenged". Thank you. |

I don't know. Depends upon the type of CSM. Nurgle marines don't look all that different to me than gibbering hordes of rippers and digestion pools. Honestly, I think the digestion pools come OUT of nurgle marines...

Eldar - changes the universe from grim-dark to noble-bright. Very mary sue.
The named SM chapters, BA, DA, SW. We don't need so many fancy pants chapters. Just do their unique units as special issue or something (ie. if you take furioso, cannot take thunderwolves, etc)
mechanium - full of potential of wyrd science, but ended up being steampunk. adds nothing, and unpopular.

Grey Knights should never have been an army but a small allied option.
Same with Knights.
