To make a short story, Friday I woke up to intense pain, went to the ER, and after 5 hours they determined my gallbladder hates me. No surgery scheduled yet because they closed for a long weekend before I could set one.
@EagleSpireGaming That sounds like a bad weekend, hopefully the machine god can replace it with a better mechanical one. All jokes aside good luck and feel better fast.
Interesting formations. I think the main thing is that they are allies that don't count towards the ally limit, so its a nice way to get some ad mech in an army without worrying about adding to your ally total.
@EagleSpireGaming Thanatar, and other 2 unit that I didn't know the name,1 with jump pack and 1 with giant Axe thingy(both having high CAF).so painful when meet head on.even my termis(iron warriors) can't stand a chance. Perhaps next session,I will try some S.A allies(basilisk and Medusa) I dont know if some of mechanicum unit can deep strike or not.
@ the only thing I can find is that the Vultarax have outflank. Are you thinking a whole artillery company? Medusa may not be the right play into mechanicum, as it gives them the perfect target for “stab the shooty things”
@@EagleSpireGaming wow,they got outflank... I guess changing my Deredeo to Leviathan dreadnought.for this Saturday's session.2k point.unless that guy wanna tryout 2.5k or 3k.then I can use my Legio Mortis.haven't decided on the list.yet.
@@Jab-02 great question. There are two ways to include transports into a list. The first is when a formation has a detachment slot available to it, usually it’s just a “transport” detachment, but thunderhawks and storm eagles are the current exceptions to this, and instead occupy the “air support” detachment. The second scenario is particular formations which have a special rule saying that detachments can be upgraded with (transport). Sadly, none of these support formations include either of those, so that is a limitation. Good catch, it didn’t cross my mind at the time.
Great info, hope all is well!

@@rathstar absolutely. I didn’t want to mention that as a use for each one, but that is something 5/7 of them have in common.
VERY good video!!! Question: For playing only Knights, ¿what book do I need? Thanks!
@@zeroa6 great question, the core rulebook has all the knights rules in it, and “rise of the Dark Mechanicum” has the formation rules.
@@EagleSpireGaming Awesome!! You are doing a great job here, for all Epic scale lovers! Cheers!
My previous game and 1st match against mechanicum...
Ouch...barely survived.😅
@@Abaddon86 what did you feel was the biggest threat?

I noticed there is no mention of transport options is this a limitation to taking these Detachments?

Almost every available option is a walker, so it doesn't really matter!
