The Adeptus Mechanicus must be brought to heel, and what better chapter to prove their loyalty to the Emperor than the Dark Angels themselves.
In this game we are pitting the admech against one of the most brutal factions in the game currently. Will Brian’s mechanical legions have the firepower to bring down a combined Deathwing/Ravenwing/Greenwing army? Let’s find out!

Why on the first DA turn you didn't shoot with the Bikes? They have 21 inches Assault weapons so they also shoot after they advance. You could have finished the Ballestaries
i been running my Robots as squad of 5 max to avoid blast / coherency rules, And in Addition keeping flamers on some or all of them in addition to the phosphor. I believe that it is possibly superior in a take all comers sense as it de incentivizes charges, makes shooting into combats more effective. I also like that it doesnt make them the only choice for strategem abuse and makes me design lists around more than just the robots. I have also been trying a Radiation themed list as opposed to Mars trying to keep my list non meta or at least approachable with non marine armies.
My very first 40k game was DA vs Admech, this brings back memories.
I turned this off earlier, when live, when Brian explained they left the terrain open to let the Robots have their way. Them having first turn was bad enough, even after they made a video on planning terrain out for a balanced fight, they left the center open for planet bowling ball. So bad.

Wish their Ad Mech Armies would try and do something non Mars or switch up some units. Very same ol same ol
Each inceptor has 2 1d3 shot guns so with blast you get 6 shots vs a squad of 6+ guys. It is not a 2d3 shot weapon!
I basically re-experienced Covid depression from this video. I was looking forward to this game with my favorite (tri-color Dark Angels) get a batrep from the best channel in the game. I hope you guys play another that doesn't involve insane mortal wound spam before new years.
You didn't need a 2.5 hour batrep to tell me a deluge of mortal wounds would bypass the Dark Angels durability buffs they have had for two months.
Bridger sounds so femenine!
Hurray for Admech shooting and the triple HQ combo.
For casual games it is too much, but if you really want to show someone what a shooting phase is supposed to look like, it's just awesome.
I usually 10 fulgurites in a dunestrider and 10 corpuscari in a terrax drill.
The drill that can kill anything big and the corpuscari that can reliably deal with hordes, get AP-2 on all their shots for heavy infantry and are also a great potential recipient for wrath of Mars, have turned out to be a great package to shut down one flank.
how do the kastelon robots get 4 up armour saves vs thunder hammers, 3+ armour saves go to 5+ and brian was already in the shooty protocol so he couldnt use the armour save one, maybe im missing something here?, if so please inform me
Terrrrrrrible. Make it better.
The open center of the table won that for the Ad Mech
Im not sure why a lot of people say its bad. I think its a good way to showcase why the terrain video was so important. Also having one- sided games from time to time is nothing to be afraid of. You guys even mentioned that some of the decisions (army strength and map design) were intentional so im not sure where the complaints come from. Anyway im happy to see how good he took the devastating loss. Also reminds me why i only have 4 kastelans and dont really plan to field all at the same time…
Thanks for making competitive lists for this match! Keep doing what you´re doing, I would also like to see the best ork list you can muster!
This was an extremely one sided fight lol, but not in the way I thought it’d be, pleasantly surprised lol
Duration under 2.5 hours… oh dear. Assuming Brian’s Ad Mech, presumably I’m about to see 9 robots + Cawl with LoS to Adrians entire army.
Sorry this was a pretty bad bat rep. Shame as the stuff is usually so good
Can we pour one out for my homie da spider? Spiders are bros
You didnt do the DA any justice in this batrep. And a terrible list and set-up. As you mentioned, the DA are among the most brutal factions in 9th, why didnt you make the most out of their strength? Also everything was set up in favor for admech. Hopefully this was deliberate so GW doesnt nerf the shit out of DA whenever their supplement drops lol. Im a UM player and facing DA in 9th is a nightmare. But it has to be said that DA is a difficult army to master. Its clear to see DA is not your primary or secondary army for that matter
Brian seems the type of guy to remember and clarify all the rules that benefit him and not bring up the ones that work against him.
Inceptors having blast on both guns: I sleep
Chaplain doing litanies: REAL SHIT
That was a terrible game haha
This is what happens when Admech get first turn
6 Robots are like Dakka Oprah Winfrey. You get shot and you get shot and you get shot. Everybody gets shot!!!
Rangers or Vanguard I have 3 Admech start collecting boxes and 1 Apoc Vanguard Det box
Must know what species of Spiders are worth that much concern in Cali
This was just bad and not enjoyable to watch at all. Hope they never do this again.
There is also a cp strat for tempestus scions that can do mortals on 6's and combined with 1st rank- 2nd rank it can be nasty on a 10 man squad of rapid fire hot shot laz
Damn, Bridger sounds hot this episode! /s
so they take the FNP away from DG and give it to the Space marines instead. sure makes sense. WT EF?!
I really hope Admech get toned down a fair bit when their book drops. The priests will probably lose that stupid invuln which might help
CSM needs the Death to the false Emp. first its fluf and furthermore they need a chance to survive vs busted SM
Turn one when the chickens got blasted. Brian didn't want to take the mortal wounds from the explosion and Adrian just let him get away with cheating.
Guilty as charged with the CR dice bag……
There was a Slaanesh Daemon question asked in superchat last game, but I didn't see it answered. Watching this one, anyone know if it was addressed here? I'm interested in what the response was.
Deathwing Terminators and running an upgraded apothecary on bike with 3 ATV's. So much fun
So, with Adrian's mic being poppy the past several videos, I have concluded that he needs a beard to act as a filter. Clearly it works because Brian never has mic problems haha.
Ad Mech robuts need the NERF BAT big time
Love the channel, shouldn't have killed the curious spider though 😢
so much for best army in the game lol
….does pushing the terrain/scenery break rules of conduct/good manners during a 40k game? There were a few times where Brian shifted a piece of scenery slightly while measuring or checking line of sight and since he was checking what the dakka bots could see and shoot at even slightly moving any of the terrain pieces could have been an issue if it revealed more of what Adrian had placed down and hid behind that terrain piece.
Maybe it wouldn't have mattered in the end because of just how absurd the dakka bots are
At the start of the game it seems that the priests disembark more than 3” away. Is there an ability that lets them do this?
why kill the spider?
what would you say is a good 500pt Admech starter army for a slow grow?
