playing about with my lists after CA dropped pts.
Managed to get another pred in but need a spearhead so i can run 4, thinking cheeky little techmarine for under 60pts looks fun as a hq choice now servo arms are free.
How do you guys run them? do you have much luck with them does the d3 wound saving really have that much of an effect at all? I'm thinking fairly bare with a power sword and storm bolter so he's not a total slouch on the table for a fairly cheap 51 pts
Also what about servitors now, 20pts for 4 with servo arms... stick em on a home obj for funs?

It completely blew past me how dirt cheap servitors are now. For 20 points yeah they'd be really good at just sitting back on objectives. If only they could be made troops backed by techmarines. Just legions of haggard psuedo zombies walking around with servo arms lol.

Even better for AdMech armies - still only 20pts but there is the option to chop them up to bring back 4x 50pt models (kataphrons) from one unit...
Just wish they (or a similar sort of cultist/laborer unit) was available for a troops choice for AdMech.

There's a Vigilus detachment called Servitor Maniple that gives access to a Warlord trait called Master of Biosplicing: basically you have your Biosplicer 6" from a unit of Kataphrons and 6" from a unit of Servitors from the detachment, at the end of your movement phase you can kill a Servitor to resurrect a dead Kataphron or heal one of 1d3 Wounds if there's a wounded first. It's great as combined with the native repair ability Dominus have, you can trade a 5 pts model for a 50 pts one.

It's also worth noting that in admech they can use their +1 Str canticle to hit harder than any 5pt model has any right to - I'd consider three units of them to be a solid 60pt screen/combat upgrade for your TPD or Belligerent Karl.

"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!" |

And give Prime Hermeticon to your Tech-Priest so that they reroll their 1 2 3s to Hit... The Servitor army is real
