Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Adeptus Mechanicus (section)

===Cybernetica Cohort (1 CP)===
The robot detachment, somewhat geared for the melee version. Kastelans and their attending Dominus, Enginseers and Datasmiths gain the {{W40kKeyword|Cybernetica cohort}} keyword.

'''Stratagems:'''
*'''Power Surge (1 CP):''' Pick a unit of robots within 3 inches of a Datasmith. They get +3 to charge rolls.
**Deepstrike {{W40kKeyword|Lucius}} Kastelans and give a Datasmith the teleporter relic (so this strat can be used). Your Kastelan drop now has more than 72% chance of making that 9" charge. Activate 'Binharic Override' if you can afford it to double their attacks - it's not like the Datasmith will survive to change their battle protocols anyway.
*'''Strafing Run (1 CP):'''  Use at the beginning of the movement phase on a robot unit with Aegis protocols active. Turns heavy weapons into assault. Great for robots with incendine combustors.
**Use when paired with the {{W40kKeyword|Metalica}} dogma to grant your gun bots around 11~12" of movement while running and gunning at full accuracy. Generally speaking, this is best used to either take and hold an objective without sacrificing shooting or quickly getting away from your opponent if they get too close.

'''Warlord Trait: Adept of the Legio Cybernetica:''' Once per battle, your warlord can repair d6 wounds to a unit of robots instead of the standard d3. Combine it with the Autocaduceus of Arkhan Land so you don't roll a one.

'''Artifact: Doctrine Foreas Servo-skull:''' Robots can attempt to change battle protocol at the start of each movement phase if they are within 9" of the bearer, who DOESN'T need to be a Datasmith, which eases his workload and enables your cheaper Enginseers or durable Dominus to do that job.
