In terms of those offensive buffs, the big one is Pre-Calibrated Purge Solution , which for 1CP gives a unit full hit re-rolls when targeting an enemy within the opponent’s Deployment Zone. Hold fast with your army, but give a unit of Pteraxii the Assault ability to let them advance and score a secondary.

This is a brilliant change and makes this a very powerful ability with the threat of shutting down a unit sat on a back field objective and giving a nice spread of Mortal Wounds during the game. If you get the first turn, scoot onto the objective and tag it with Objective Scouted at the start of the game. Today, their forces are bolstered with the latest Warhammer 40,000 Codex for 10th Edition in the form of Codex Adeptus Mechanicus, and the awesome new Syndonian Skatros sniper! Serberys Raiders, who have long been a staple in Adeptus Mechanicus armies, are now packing AP-1 on their melee, which makes advance and charge an appealing option for them (and they refund the CP on a 5+ with their Enhanced Data-Tether). That’s not wholly within, and while your opponent can still declare a new charge, it’s fairly easy to use this to ensure deep strike charges just can’t hit you as you slide back into your transport.Alternatively, it’s genuinely possible that just YOLOing 18 Breachers up the table with Citation up could overwhelm some enemies, especially as they have access to additional durability buffs in this detachment. To get into position to unleash that shooting, the new version of Aggressor Imperative is worth a look, providing auto-Advances of 6” to Skitarii, and having the same trick of bouncing onto a nearby non-Battleline Skitarii unit in concert. The Explorator Maniple are less about Movement and more about objective control, with a number of tricks to make that happen and letting you do more with less. If the test is successful you get a brand new agenda for the next battle in which your opponent places a token in their deployment zone to represent this legendary item, with your force trying to gain control of it during the game.

You might once again reach to Kataphron Breachers with this, but another spicy option is Corpuscarii Electro-Priests who can wind up with ranged attacks hitting on 2+ with this enhancement.

Luckily, Kataphrons are extremely good, and there’s some seriously compelling buffs for Electropriests here, so if this is the army you’ve been dreaming of, read on. This strategem no longer gives out Advance and Charge, which is a shame, but there’s a silver lining. We get a really fun Crusade section in the book that really leans into the fact that the Adeptus Mechanicus are often fighting because the battlefield is a source of Archeotech, or they believe the force they are fighting has got access to knowledge or technology that they want to take back to properly investigate. The first of these is Motive Imperative , giving a unit +3” to their Move characteristic and +1 to their Advance and Charge rolls. This last one in particular would be nice on a Datasmith to ensure that your robots can bounce back a mortal wound every phase they are shot at.

The final one, and probably the one I like just for the sheer nonsense of the units within, is the Beep Boop – aka Cohort Cybernetica army. Priority Reclamation gives your units a 6″ consolidate move as long as you move closer to your priority marker. A detachment dedicated to our beloved Kastelan Robots – and every single Vehicle in the Adeptus Mechanicus line. The final detachment in the book specialises in Robots and grants them all the Doctrina Imperatives rule (Which normally they don’t have access to) They are pretty resilient anyway, so this can make them even harder to kill, or instead make shooty robots viable with the ability to increase their AP when shooting into the enemy deployment zone.This codex also delves into the Adeptus Mechanicus’ arcane beliefs, their advanced cybernetics, the significance of their forge worlds, and their pivotal role within the Imperium, providing a full dossier on their place in the cosmic war.
