Hehe I think that its an awesome idea. For I myself an working on an AdMech army. Im starting with a space marine force, whose home world is a forge world. Gunna add allot of tech marines to the army, and the colors are grey, and red. Though the real fun will come with the guard im gunna model up to be the real bulk of my army. I even have ideas to turn a soulgrinder into some sort of giant cyborg/robotic thing. Not sure how that will work yet, but im working on it.

So I am really looking forward to seeing what you come up with. And making your own stat lines is awesome. Hey I would even be willing to help test, and balance them. I have a good friend who I play with all the time who would have no problem playing with a sratch build set of army rules.

You really should consider building you AdMech army by following a Codex from GW. You will have trouble finding opponents. I think it is an awesome idea to modle an AdMech army but the conversation between us would still go along the lines of;

Player A; "Would you like to play my AdMech army?"
Player B; "You have made an AdMech army?"
Player A; "Yep"
Player B; "Have you really made an AdMech army?
Player A; "Yep....again"
Player B; "Awesome! What codex have you used?"
Player A; "I have made my own"
Player B; "No, I meant what army does your AdMech count as?"
Player A; "No one. I have made my own rules"
Player B; "Erhm.....ok, tell you what. I'd rather play that SM army over there. Good luck though"

This is of course just my oppinion, but I don't think I am alone in this.


There is this Codex that has been approved for Warhammer World campaigns.

And the acceptibility of an unoffical codex can be varied; sometimes your opponent would be a beardy ass who wouldn't touch an unoffical 'dex with a 20ft barge pole despite it being balanced, sometimes they'll be more accepting and sometimes they just won't have the time to spend checking out what is an entirely new codex for them.

Anyway, I do like the idea of an AdMech army with all those cybernetic implants.

Well, once my mini dex thing is done im gunna post it up here so that people who want to can playtest it, tell me what's balanced and imbalanced. Fun and horrible, etc. And i don't really care if i can't play with it in a game, this is just really fun . I'll figure out the "counts as" later if i have to.
