So, I just picked up the AdMech: Skitarii Codex and immediately started playing around a bit with a small army list. Well, a few of them. Haven't been on Dakka for ages, but I figured some thoughts on them might be interesting!

First list is the more 'serious' one, which I'd might consider getting to then build a larger army around later on.

Skirmish Task Force



Basically aims to bring as many shots as possible to the table; a whopping 120 str 3 ap 5 shots with -1 cover save and bonus wounds on 6's (well, if you've got the first shot in a 17th century style line battle).
The Ballistarii should be able to deal with light armour - I personally don't expect a lot of armour on the table at 500pts. Well, maybe Rhinos and Chimeras. It's mainly meant as anti-Horde though.

But hey, I've got a list for armoured oponents as well. Two of them, actually.

'Balanced' Anti-Armour List:



Then again, maybe the opponent decides to field some nastyness that simply needs plenty of being shot at. Hmpf. Well, take.. This?

Balls t'er tha' walls - or 'how the opposing player died laughing nervously'



... Well, at least you get a couple of lascannon shots.

So, what do you guys think?

If you hadn't noticed, I'm more of a Vanguard fan than I am a Ranger fan. Though the rangers' guns look prettier (think I could proxy-swap 'em?!). I just prefer getting more dice on the table and a strong mid-range. Hm, as I'm writing, I think I may very well prefer the second list... Meh, we'll see what happens!

In all honesty, you'll be better swapping a couple ironstriders with a crab-tank.

I'll look into it, cheers.
