Creating a Competitive Adeptus Mechanicus Army in Warhammer 40k



Adeptus Mechanicus

A competitive army list for the Adeptus Mechanicus in Warhammer 40k typically includes a mix of units that exploit the army's strengths, such as powerful ranged weapons, and durable and hard-hitting skitarii units, and is tailored to the player's playstyle and the specific points limit and rules of the tournament. Here is an example of a list that can be considered competitive:

  • Tech-Priest Dominus (with warlord trait, and a power sword or arc claw)

  • Skitarii Vanguard (with Galvanic Rifles)

  • Skitarii Rangers (with Transuranic Arquebus)

  • Sicarian Infiltrators (with Transonic Razors)

  • Onager Dunecrawlers (with Neutron Lasers)

  • Kastelan Robots (with Phosphor Blasters and heavy stubbers)

  • Tech-Priest Enginseer

  • Ironstrider Ballistarii (with Ion Cannons)

This list includes a mix of durable and deadly units, as well as a mix of melee and ranged options. The Tech-Priest Dominus and Sicarian Infiltrators provide powerful melee options, while the Skitarii Vanguard, Skitarii Rangers, Onager Dunecrawlers, and Ironstrider Ballistarii provide a strong ranged presence. The Kastelan Robots are durable melee units that can provide heavy firepower, while the Tech-Priest Enginseer can provide repair and support for the army's units.


It's worth noting that this is just one example of many possible Adeptus Mechanicus army lists, and the composition of the army will depend on the player's preferences, tactics and situation, or the tournament rules. The Adeptus Mechanicus faction also have access to a lot of different detachments, so it will be useful to experiment to find the best combination for the current points limit or tournament rules. Also, it's always important to practice with the army to maximize the army's potential.
