Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Weapons (section)

====Adeptus Mechanicus====
The machine worshipers are quite a flexible army, especially since 9th edition gave them the units they required to increase their mobility, something they lacked in previous editions. The Mechanicus are a very balanced army, but with a tendency to be very relient on powerful gunlines that combine both high volume shooting and heavier guns with high damage output per shot. The fact many admech characters have an invulnerable save and can heal vehicles and other units is great to increase their staying power, and the addition of fast and cheap units can make very competitive lists. The drawback of all this is the fact their units are very specialized: they are either slow heavy units with powerful and long shooting or fast light units that won't be able to resist melee. Focusing on shooting will make admech lists become static within their deployment zone, and more dinamic lists can be quite badly mauled if pittied against hard-hitting melee or defensive lists. Combining this two styles can be a problem, but the admech has enough unit variery to make up for that.
