Idea for a dark mechanicum heavy list. Format is no formations no Lords of War, so trying to make the most of CADs.
Idea is daemons summon stuff whilst the rest focuses on killing.
Any room for improvement?
Thanks

I would give the Prince ML3 instead of Ichor Blood and Gift of Mutation.

Very true, but that 25 pts rather than 15. I guess i could drop the lasher tendrils.

After a bout of Grav paranoia.. maybe a sorcerer and spawn would be more useful than the prince.

How do you make obliterators troop choices? last time i checked they count as being heavy support

They are troops in an Iron Warriors Detachment.

They also get Tank Hunter, free VOTLW, 6+ Fnp, a bonus vs buildings and really hate imperial fists (who hate them back!).

AFAIK, you have to bring a Warpsmith to bring them as troops.

Edit: Meant to type Warpsmith....

.. warsmith isn't even a unit this edition.. (obviously my sorcerer will be titled a warsmith, cos that's how IW role)

A victory. narrowly. Everything kind of worked. Didn't have the chutspa to kill a leviathan dread, but still fun.

I made a last minute switch up to the list.

Made the paradox tzerald warlord. Move the blood slaughterer's into the CSM CAD, and made the daemons a tzeentch detachment, with the tzeentch warlord traits, which are excellent (except I rolled soul blaze twice), the tzeentch warpstorm. Mediocre but more useful to me than the enemy just.
And the tzeentch tactical objectives, which would have been great, if they hadn't all come up after my tzeentch stuff was dead.

Blah blood slaughterer's are heavy support so that doesn't Actually work. Unless I have them two in one unit.. actually not a bad idea.

Could swap one Blood Slaughterer for a soul grinder of tzeentch. are they even a worthwhile thing? hmmmm

Tweaked to allow the daemons to be called a tzeentch detachment.
Swapped sorc and a slaughterer for a nurgle dp. Would have gone tzeentch but the format is nerfing rerollable saves and I love my nurgle dp model.
