The January data-slate is finally here! And Games Workshop made it just barely in January! There were a lot of great changes that it brought to the game overall, but my faction was unfortunately left in the dust. In this video I'll describe how I think the Adeptus Mechanicus got to this state, why it's so bad for the game of Warhammer 40k as a whole, and what we might be able to do about it. - Jak na to + styl

Admech is simply a wash in 10th. Datasheets are 70% (or more) of an army's feel this edition, and they're the main problem, something that can't be solved through detachments or points changes.
The -1 to shooting and battleline aura meme really did us in; The former pushes the army into a horde since point reductions are the way to solve this newfound issue, making us prohibitively expensive IRL and goes counter to the Admech fantasy (we shouldn't be zerg). The latter ruins the practicality of the army, as the last thing non-battleline units want to do is stay close to battlelines - we have such a fun and diverse fast-attack/infiltrator/Deep-strike roster, and yet it's innefective due to the battleline/castle constraint. I cannot fathom why the aura isn't attached to Data-Tether units instead, it simply makes too much sense and it was a missed opportunity (Plenty of vehicles and fast-attacks have the Tether option, opening up fun avenues for the aura, not just a single dual-kit unit)
Above all, the fluff is gone, it simply doesn't feel like Admech.
Agree 100%, I think even allowing us to take battleline in squads of 5 would go a long way to helping that mechanic, but with 10 man msu it's pretty nonsensical.
Yeah I find it hard just trying to finish this army. It's so sad that index armies perform better then my whole codex
Still one of the best hobby armies out there imho, so I'll still be able to have fun building things at least!
I have put mine away, I don't want to run breacher spam just to even have a chance. I loved building and converting them, but it just isn't fun.
Could you turn up the music a bit? I can hear someone speaking in the background and it's realy weird for this music video.
