Episode 18: Cult Mechanicus (GW freebies which cost us more money)

This week on the podcast we continue to tackle the deluge of releases with the second part of the AdMech faction: Cult Mechanicus!

Following the awesome Skitarii book which introduced the foot troops of the AdMech, Cult Mechanicus introduces even more weird and wonderful units to the game such as the Kataphron battle servitors, Electro priests and Kastelan robots as well as the Ad Mech's first and only HQ choice; the Priest Dominus. We talk through the power level of these units and how they can be implemented into a competitive force. We also attempt (and fail) to look at the controversial War Convocation formation and briefly discuss what the idea of 'more free shit' can mean for competitive play.

Matt Robertson spoke to Adam Ryland about his experience at the Birmingham Gaming Expo where he finally succumbed to the dark side and took Eldar (Ironic saying that given his storied history as a Daemon player!) Hear all about Adam's experiences at the event as also his impressions as a fresh new player to the faction using Eldar in a competitive setting for the first time.

I also want to remind you guys about all the stuff we are working on, most notably the Allies Of Convenience Grand Tournament that will be taking playing in Warrington on November the 7th and 8th. Tickets are yet to go on sale for this but we want you to pencil it in to your diaries as they will be made available shortly.

Please check us out on Facebook! http://facebook.com/AOCpodcast We love hearing from you guys with feedback on the show, questions regarding competitive play and also tips on forthcoming events we can promote on the podcast.

Featuring Alex Rae, Matt Robertson, Mike Collins, Jesse Newton & Adam Ryland
