AdMech Knights Robot Rally

We all know with the changes to 6th how "sub-par" vehicles are becoming. Hull points have hurt their viability, but I think the death kneel of vehicle laden armies is a little bit further out than people are giving it credit to. One of the reasons I love codex: Grey Knights is that it allows me to use my AdMech as a real army, not just a fan army based off one of the best fandexes around. Coteaz henchspam is fun, and with allies you can bring more dreads to the table than ever. I know the list isn't uber competitive;it isn't meant to be. Some things just need to be done for fun.

So obviously we intend to use Grey Knights as main book with allies. We have the options of Necrons, Orks and all Space Marines when it comes to armies with more dreadnoughts. Orks are limited by the effectiveness of their dreads in this list and being able to bring only 2 units. Necrons bring less with only the Stalker being a dread equivalent so we are left with varieties of Space Marines. Space Wolves are great, but they still limit us to 2 units, one of which is a very expensive HQ. Codex: Space Marines, vanilla if you will, offers us 2 slots of so so dreads, but Codex: Blood Angels offers us so much more. Okay, not so much more, but at higher levels we can get 3 dreads with single FOC or 6 with double FOC. This list is meant for 1850 single FOC as is, but it's nice to have options. So let's do allies first to know what we have to work with.We need cheap troops, cheap HQ and decent dreads.

SHHHHH, be vewwy vewyy quiet, I'm hunting heathens....

 The cheapest HQ in Blood Angels is tied between captain and librarian. While we don't need more psykers, the Librarian brings more for the same amount of points. Troops we can get away with 100 points for 5 standard bolter wielding Death Company. That leaves us room for a Furioso, master of blender talon death. We don't want him going in alone, so we take another stock CC dread, and although it doesn't have the same AV 13 as the Furioso, cover should help it get there. We can take a troop Death Company dreadnought with blender talons as well. This brings our allies to  555, leaving us 1295 for our main force.

We of course start with Coteaz, as he allows us to take cheap troops. Coteaz and 3 psybolters of acolytes with bolters fills the troops. I know it is very light on scoring units, but this army is all about those glorious suits of adamantine justice. Now we take the customary 3 psydreads (Grey Knight dreadnought with twin linked auto cannons x 2 and psybolts) and 3 venerable psydreads. With our allies we now have 3 psybacks, 6 psydread riflemen, 1 stock multimelta dread and 2 blender talon dreads. Not the best 1850 list by any means, but definitely fun.

Current Projects

Well, while Tyranids are my first love and will always have a place in my heart, the new Chaos Marine codex is around the corner and the rules are looking okay. I figure I will stop buying things that don't fit my narrow intentions of my list and concentrate  on getting my AdMech Knights, Knights of Blood, Star Wolves and Sons of Malice painted. The Sons of Malice will be up first just because the paint scheme is fucking awesome.

My 1st/2nd/3rd favorite Chosen.

Back in 3rd edition, I picked up a second army. Not as big as my Tyranids, but I started playing Salamanders at the start of 3rd edition. I was delighted when the Armageddon codex came out, until I actually read the load out for Salamanders. Veteran sergeants got thunder hammers for 25 and artificer armor, but all marines in the army got -1 I to represent the super heavy gravity of Nocturne. This of course would make no sense, if you grew up in a higher gravity, your skeleton and muscle structure would be faster when in a lower gravity, but alas, I switched to Chaos Space Marines. While my collection hasn't grown as t, it has steadily grown.
There isn't yet enough known about the codex, but as Chosen are one of my favorite units, I plan to take 3 big units even if not scoring. I'll also run Flamers and Screamer of Tzeentch as allies, which should help with antitank quite a bit. The Hellbrute is included in the pictures simply because it looks awesome.
