Woah, thanks Largs. Thanks for the comments too. Mw on the crawlers is pretty crazy. Time will tell from testing if they need a bump.

Hi Norto, was glad to be directed to this list - exactly what I've been looking for! No criticism, but wonder what your thoughts were on these queries:
Why no warlord? Why no ordinatus? Any chance Amigers might get added?

hey there blip
Thanks for checking it out.
The list already has so many units, definitely now with the new gw releases. there is probably some options that could be removed like the assault drill now that skitarii have a their own transports and multiple ones with the flyer now. It is epic armageddon i know so i should include titans and knights and minoris but i think it will just bloat the crap out of the list if it has all options. If theres a few guys who wish to play the list and give feedback on the direction the allied section should take I'm more then happy to direct it that way. As for armigers i think they would be great if the allied section ran towards knights more then titans for example.

at some point you could tie this into the allies for the rest of the adMech lists. That might give you the options, but would titans really fit the theme of the list? They seemed to be something moved to a specific battlefield and I was under the impression that Explorator was less of an assault force.

Heya Norto,
I agree on your bloat comment. I reckon if you mix in any, knights are the way forward. The big stuff like titans and minorus/majoris just don't quite seem to fit with the rest of the theme.
Glad you're still moving forward with this.

Im looking at doing a bit of an update to keep the list in line with other lists getting around and from some offline feedback. If theres anything youd like to see changed nows the time to express it.

I'm really glad there's a list for modern Mechanicus stuff.
Why is the Skorpius Dunerider list as a walker? It's a hovercraft.

Drang, Walker doesn't mean literally legs (though it may have legs) as opposed to "are able to negotiate dangerous terrain more easily than other vehicles." (2.1.18). The GEV capabilities of the Dunerider allow it to skim over much terrain that would inhibit a more traditional locomotive vehicle.

Bit of an update with the Questoris list coming back to life. Also tried to gel all all the lists getting around together. Hope you enjoy.

Haven't really been playing much lately. If anyone feels they want to take over this list feel free too.

Reading over the rules, and even though there's an army wide rule called 'Automaton", no units actually have "Automaton" on their profile. Thoughts?

I suspect Norto grabbed it from the main Skitarii list and we lost the units that had it as the list evolved. Unless he had plans to add it in later with some kind of robot and the list never progressed that far.
