Dark Angels vs Admech – 2000pt Warhammer 40k battle report



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!

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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…

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. ….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
