Has anyone ever seen/had an all AM fleet?? Does anyone think it'd work???

Edit: Actually, I can only find rules for the AM Battleship on the Ships of Mars pdf. What about the AM Cruiser/Light Cruiser??

The rest of the ships in the Admech list use the same stats listed for that particular class in either the main rulebook or Armada, with the additional bonuses granted by the Admech special rules (an extra turret, cruisers have a dorsal lance, etc).

As for making an Admech list, I have never seen one in action. They could be a decent fleet though; they have a lot of options and access to many different ship types. On the down side, the random nature of the Gifts of the Omnissiah table makes it hard to plan before a game. Also, since AdMech ships are generally more expensive than their IN counterparts, you will be significantly outnumbered.

I read that the AdMech fleet uses ships from certain classes and that the stats are listed elsewhere. But I was refering to the AdMech models on the GW page for IN:

AdMech Battleship

The Battleship seems to correspond to the Ark Mechanicus mentioned in Ships of Mars pdf, but I find no mention of the other 2 vessels....Am I just being stupid?? As an aside does anyone know which parts (if any)of the downloadable pdf's are from Armada??

As Ruckddog says. The AdMech cruiser follows the rule for example from an Imperial Lunar Class with the added special rules from the pdf (eg dorsal lance, gift of the omnissiah).

Same to the light cruiser.


Different model as Imperial Navy with same basic stats. But added flavour.

The battleship model can also be build as an emperor, Retribution or Oberon.

Here's an updated version of the rules:

I have an 1500pts AdMech fleet. First battles I lost, then I started winning. Equal now. So seems balanced.

AHA!!!! That makes sense, but wasn't that clear....

Thanks
