I'm in the middle of my SM Mech army when I noticed "I have no command." I'm looking for a commander that benefits vehicles more than infantry. Any good suggestions dakka?

well... obviously a master of the forge?

or a librarian, they are always useful depending on the powers you give them.

I was looking at Librarians. Hoping they're the best option.

A master of the forge on a bike with a conversion beamer. He can move 12 inches and repair, or provide a small blast railgun to shoot at the enemy, provided they are far enough away.

Hmm. Another good option.

I tried MoTf on Bike with conversion beamer in several games and my recommendation is DO NOT do it.

He loses his extra arms thingy (need coffee damn it) so he repairs on a 5+. Terrain is always a blocking thing for him and with 6th edition having d3 terrain piece per 2x2", you are not going to have a lot of shooting going on.

I do vote for librarian though since he can always cast Null Zone. Too bad our librarian cannot take Divination. Reroll to hit on a squadron of typhoon is a very very scary thing. So is having 4+ invul on honour guard squad.

It depends on what else is in the army. Overall i think a libby with null zone is your best bet
