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

===={{W40Kkeyword|Adeptus Mechanicus}}====
These units aren't Skitarii or Cult Mechanicus due to coming from an older edition.
*'''Larsen Van der Grauss:''' {{W40kKeywords|imperium|Adeptus Mechanicus|tech-priest}}, and {{W40Kkeyword|Mars}} mean you can field this guy just fine, but bear in mind he ''isn't'' in the Cult Mechanicus.  He's also largely pointless: M6 A2 WS4+ S3 BS4+ T3 Sv4+/5++ W2 Ld8 with two guns: 6" Grenade 1d3 S3 AP0 D1, +1S and +1D against targets within 1" of terrain, and 12" Pistol 1 S5 AP0 D1, unmodified 6s to hit explode twice so you hit 3 times, and he can ride any of your {{W40Kkeyword|transport}}s.  Larsen is from the Rogue Trader Kill Team in 8E but has no 9E rules discussing him (9E only has Astra Cartographica rules, which he isn't a member of), but he does so very little for you it's doubtful your opponent will be bothered if you take him.
*'''X-101:''' The named servitor from Blackstone Fortress. It comes with a Grav-gun, a hydraulic claw, and a 5+ BS and WS. Has the standard Mindlock ability regular servitors have with a minor upgrade - it goes up to WS/BS 4+ and Ld9 while close to a {{W40Kkeyword|Tech-Priest}} ''without'' caring about {{W40Kkeyword|<forge world>}} - and gets a further +1 to hit if it's targeting a {{W40Kkeyword|VEHICLE}}. Unfortunately, since it lacks the {{W40Kkeyword|CHARACTER}} keyword, it's just going to get popped the second it steps out into the open. And since it can't take a transport, you can't even really kamikaze it. Even at 25 points, still not worth it.
** Its lack of {{W40Kkeyword|CHARACTER}} keyword is actually a boon for performing actions, but for only 3 points more you could take an actual unit of Servitors, so just don't take this robot.
