Hi all!

I am currently trying some army lists for a tournament. As it is a 1000pt tournament (and apparently grabbing objectives is going to be a thing), it is quite hard to make a competitive list, especially when you play Admech.

Here is a few of my lists:

List 1
Spoiler:

Skitarii Maniple
2 units of 4 Vanguards (no upgrades)
1 unit 10 Secutarii Peltasts

Battle Congregation
1x Tech Priest, with Conversion field
1 unit of 3 Kataphron Breachers (2x Heavy Arc rifle, 1x Torsion Cannon)
1 unit of 3 Kataphron Destroyers (2x Heavy Grav-cannon, 1x Plasma culverin)
1 unit of Kastelan Robot Maniple (both Robots have Heavy and Twin-linked phosphor blasters)

My tactic here is to utilize the Peltasts' wide variety of fire power. I personally think they are awesome, since they can change ammo types.
The Vanguards aswell as my Kastelan Robots on the other hand will probably be more a distraction.
While my Breachers are there for anti-tank and Destroyers for anti-Terminators (if there are any!)


List 2
Spoiler:

Battle Congregation
1x Tech Priest
1 unit of 3 Kataphron Breachers (2x Heavy Arc rifle, 1x Torsion Cannon)
1 unit of 3 Kataphron Destroyers (2x Heavy Grav-cannon, 1x Plasma culverin)
1 unit of 3 Kataphron Destroyers (1x Heavy Grav-cannon, 2x Plasma culverin)
2 units of 1 Servior (each have a Plasma Cannon)
1 unit of Kastelan Robot Maniple (both Robots have Heavy and Twin-linked phosphor blasters)
1x Haemotrope Reactors

Or should I play a Cult Mech only army?
Having my Servitors hide behind the Haemotrope Reactor for bigger Plasma blasts seems like a lot of fun!
However that will leave me with problems like Mindlock.


List 3
Spoiler:

Skitarii Maniple
1 units of 4 Vanguards (no upgrades)
1 units of 5 Vanguards (no upgrades)
1 unit of 4 Rangers (no upgrades)
1 unit of 4 Infiltrators (all with power swords and stubcarbines)
1 Dragoon with Taser Lance

Battle Congregation
1x Tech Priest
1 unit of 3 Kataphron Breachers (2x Heavy Arc rifle, 1x Torsion Cannon)
1 unit of 3 Kataphron Destroyers (2x Heavy Grav-cannon, 1x Plasma culverin)
1 unit of 3 Kataphron Destroyers (1x Heavy Grav-cannon, 2x Plasma culverin)

This list is a bit more Skitarii heavy, since the tournament will be objective based, I decided to add some 'fast-paced' units like the Infiltrators and a Dragoon to try and grab some objectives.
And also the Cult Mech will be there for some annihilation goodness!


So, what do you guys think?
I would appreciate some feedback

Any reason for mixing the weapons in your kataphron units? Just curious as I have 6 kataphrons all with grav/phosphor blasters (but I didn't glue the blasters so flamers might come in sooner or later)

I like the mix on your breachers. I think having 1 torsion cannons is beneficial, but for the destroyers I think synergy is everything, especially if you run the reactors with plasma kataphrons! 6 large blasts of plasma a turn!? only problem is 24" range...good players will just stay out of range

I usually like to have a 2:1 ration when playing my destroyers. It's all good and well if all of them have grav, until you play against someone who has a lot of units that have 5/6+ armor saves (looking at you cultists).
Therefore I have something like plasma to take those guys out

Just a quick batrep.
Last night I played against Space Wolves using my first list.
Lost 3-6, hence my Peltast got reckted by Thunder Wolf Cavalries :( and my Breachers being wiped out by a lone Rune Priest, therefore leaving me with no anti-tank for his Sicaran Battle Tank!

I think what I'll do next time is substituting my Kastelan Robots for two Onager Dunecrawlers with Neutron Lasers and a Dragoon. I'll still give my Peltasts another chance since they only got swept away by a Sweeping Advance!
