Unless this army list is representing an Ad Mech force that was fighting on Armageddon, they should probably have more than two Thunderbolts in a squadron, as the Steel Legion list has the smaller squadrons to represent the lack of air assets in that campaign.

My concept for this army is that Tech Guard rarely go on an offensive war... thus this is the Skitarii army of the Forgeworld Gryphonne IV, which was invaded and destroyed by a part of Hive Fleet Leviathan in the latest Tyranid Codex for 40k.

I really like the idea to base the Tech-Guard list around Gryphonne IV :)

Having it Gyphone themes would be great, so only one type of chimera etc.

Though since they lost (how??? exactly how could they lose? Failing everything else they could unleash nuclear holocausts and it wouldn't make the place that much worse to live in!) wouldn't the list have to be 10% underpowered compared to the 'nids? :)

However all those calling for all the tanks and stuff - thats an IG armour list with elite infantry. You have to have an idea about the style/image you want. Imagine a picture of it going to war - what comes to mind?

What comes to mind for me is lots of super heavy tanks, more then the IG usually field, backed up by only small units of infantry and other vehicles and accompanied by really huge war-engines like the ordinatii and leviathan. But then, to me, the IG's main style is lots and lots of massed infantry backed up by tank companies and a few super heavies to support them... So this may just be me getting the two reversed compared to most people! I don't imagine them having as plentiful of artillery as the IG do (You don't want to accidentally shell your 10,000 year old titan hanger when trying to shoot at those infantry half a kilometer away from it!) nor anything like as much infantry. Giving them access to some of the super heavies the IG don't have access to would help set them apart as well, IMHO. Like the Stormblades, Shadowswords and suchlike, as well as the 'small' super-heavies, the 2DC ones from the Kreig list, would seem to fit.

To me, that's really what they represent: Big, nasty, scary war engines backed up by small elite infantry units and normal vehicles in lower numbers over all then the IG.

From Black Library fluff descriptions of AdMech forces how about including-

Gorgons - combat servitors/praetorians transported in gorgons

Ordinatus Minoris - described as 3x the size of a Russ so 3DC, basically a tracked unit with a titan weapon mounted on it.

The flavour text for the battle of Gryphonne IV describes 'legion upon legion' of Skitarii marching to war in perfect unison.

It also mentions Praetorians and Titans, and is a rather good read for the half a page it lasts for. :)

Check out page 20 of the Tyranid Codex.



Steve54: Interesting stuff.

I agree, leave that to the Minvervans.

Now this is something I'd like to hear more about!
