Going to be testing a new list against a known opponent. I've lost COUNTLESS times to the same armies so I'm hoping this new test run will do better. Critiques GREATLY appreciated. This list will go against one of 3 different armies: Ultramarines (all primaris), Deathguard, or Custodes.

Thanks!

First of all, I should not be criticizing or give any advice on AdMech as I do not play the army but plan to get one next year so I have read up on their rules and such already.

The first thing is the robots. Full shooting is what? 3 of Phobos or 2 Phobos and flamer?
If it’s with the flamer I would suggest a Manipulus as he can give the Phobos gun +6” and the flamer +2” in range.

Second, you don’t have much for objective grabbers and you put pretty much all eggs in one big basket (robots).

I would suggest that you “only” took 4 robots and added some other stuff like serberys riders for fast moving bullies that takes up space before the game starts so you denying opponents DS and can hold objective far away.

Personally I would remove dunecrawler and add skorpius disintegrator.

This is just my personal thoughts and and preferences as I do not like one big unit because if I loose it or it got tide up in cc it’s more or less good buy. But if you can protect them and hold some objectives through the game you probably will win.
Good luck and let us know how it went!
