Good news everyone! We have done the final stress tests and have cleared the Adeptus Mechanicus Codex to be both competitive and balanced for Alternate 40k Rules! It can be downloaded from our Rulebooks page.
If you see any typos, errors, or need for better wording please let me know! This is a free project done for the community, so I have to do just about everything for it. I do not make any money off this of course, so I cannot hire an editor.
There may be some changes and tweaks made as we go forward to try and better capture their lore feel on the tabletop. This is pretty normal and part of an ongoing battle to stay on top of all the datasheets that come out on a regular basis. There are only myself and two other core developers, so it has taken quite some time to get here. We are now well over 4000 man hours invested and have 13 of the 17 Codexes completed! All that is left is Imperial Knights, Sisters of Battle, Squats (Leagues of Votann for you young whipper snappers), and the Inquisition as far as Codexes go. In terms of standalone supplements, only the Chaos Knights remain. They will be addressed once the loyalist Knights get sorted out (though so far so good with our latest rebuild!).
A bit of an overview of the A4R version of Adeptus Mechanicus. They have excellent medium infantry with solid elite like units to specialize in combat roles. They are not a giant horde of shambling cannon fodder or highly specialized like space marines, giving them some acceptable losses and sacrificial units to appease the machine spirit. They bring a variety of solid tanks and combat walkers. While somewhat limited in choices, they are well rounded and can challenge any foe! Lastly and most importantly, they field the mighty Imperial titans. This includes the almighty Emperor Class Battle Titan, that can easily surpass 6000 points in cost depending on loadout! It is by far the most dangerous Datasheet in A4R and brings a MASSIVE amount of fire power to bare! We are planning on a giant game soon, and I hope to field my pathetic abandoned attempt to start scratch building one as a proxy for this game.
If you know of any units missing, please let me know! As always, happy wargaming and I appreciate your feedback as we close on the last of the play testing!
