Greetings from the NetERC!

Well, the gears keep on grinding... and today they bring you the Adeptus Mechanicus lists.  Again, be on the look out for errors and omissions!

There are two list currently in the document:

Titan Legions
Adeptus Mechanicus Planetary Defence Force

Thanks for looking and here's the link!

NetEA Army Compendium - DRAFT - Adeptus Mechanicus

I notice the Singular/plural inconsistency in the 'God Machines' special rule has been carried over. Can it be amended to "...worships its Titans..." or "...worship their Titans..."?

The table of Support Missile Warheads stops alternating between grey and white backgrounds for a few entries, as do the the 'Support Formations' section of the AMTL list and the 'Core Formations' section of the Skitarii list.

I notice that for the Standard Configuration titans, the notes on stepping over scenery say "May step over units and impassable or dangerous terrain that is lower than the Titan’s knees and up to 2cm wide", while the other titan datasheets have heights specified. Would it be worth revising the Standard Configuration titans to harmonise the two?

In the stats for the Laser Burner, there is no space between 'EA' and '(+2)'.

In the descriptions of the weapons available to the various Titans, there is no mention of the fire arcs these weapons will have.

Haven't spotted anything else, but I'll give it a more thorough look tomorrow.

Good eye on this.  I've corrected it to list the weapons as "Arm" or "Carapace", with specified arcs, on my copy.

I agree

Otherwise, may I present the look (pattern) of my future Titans to take full advantage of this rule:

Pattern Caelifera

Yeah I put in specific heights to allow modellers to re-pose their Titans without feeling they were going to be penalised in tournaments for having their Warhound running, or whatever.

I bet that thing's friends with the Knights who say 'Ni!'.

It's not totally inconceivable a mutated Chaos titan could have really high knees, should one modelled in that way have ingame advantage over one that's not?

I notice that the section numbers suddenly jump from 1.4.whatever to 1.6.whatever between pages 2 and 3.

Also, some weapons with AP and AT values have spaces either side of the slash (eg "AP3+ / AT5+") and some do not (eg "AP4+/AT4+").

Do the support missile warheads need 'Warhead' in their notes? The way they're presented here, each is a self-contained weapon type anyway, and there's no indication of what this 'Warhead' note means.

I thought the current idea was not to use these silly restrictions?

Most weapons are not restricted, but some, such as the CCW, are, and always have been in the 3.x rules.

So don't panic.

It's mainly just for fire arcs as far as I know.

You beat me to it about CCW, E&C! I was just about to amend my post by saying that there are obvious restrictions, like CCW.

Agreed! Arcs are fine but there are no arm or carapce limitations in the ATML list Chroma - you're mistakenly putting in something that shouldn't be there.

There was a debate (and a poll if memory serves) and the strong opinion was that there should not be any which is what E&C has gone with - many old modellers have titans built in ways not allowed in current W40k, which isn't really the game for titans anyway. So long as things are pointed ok then restrictions like this are not needed.

You had me a little worried when you said "I've corrected it to list the weapons as 'Arm' or 'Carapace'." I thought you were referring to all weapons, not just the usual Arm and Carapace firing arcs.

Dwarf Supreme is concerned that the modern weapon limits from 40k are being sneak-introduced... and well, they're not.
