Greetings. I have been interested in Skitarii and Cult Mechanicus since they were released.
They have been out for a while now and I would like to hear what people think of them. Are
they seen at any tournaments and how are they rated in the current meta?

They have a formation (convocation) that is on par with the top tournament lists, but is significantly tricker to play than something like Scatbike spam Eldar, and IMO much more fun.
Outside that they're a solid mid tier. Nice if you want an army you can scale the power level of. Avoid Electropriests though.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |

There is a 50+ page Tactica Mechanicus thread in the tactics section that will tell you all you need to know and more.

Aside from the convocation I think they play better as allies. I'm planning on 2 small ranger squads and 3 onagers for anti air. I'm also planning on winning the lottery though so that may not happen for a while haha.
