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

=== Brigade Minimum Requirements ===
If you have your heart set on building a Brigade detachment, then it can be accomplished for a minimum of 840 points.

Here are the recommended units:

*HQ: 3x Enginseer
*Troops: 6x Ranger
*Elite: 3x Servitors (or 3 Datasmiths by double the price if you want something slightly more useful)
*Fast attack: 3x Ironstrider Ballistarii with Autocannons
*Heavy support: 3x Onager Dunecrawler with Eradication Beamer or Twin Heavy Phosphor Blasters

To customize this list and bringing it up to about 2000 pts swap out an Enginseer for a TPD or Cawl. Take a large unit of 4-6 Dragoons and two lone Ballistarii. Take a large unit of 4-6 Kastelans instead of a Dunecrawler. Change the Dunecrawler guns to Neutron Lasers or Icarus Arrays. Swap a unit or two of Rangers for some Kataphrons for the added firepower or some Vanguard for frontline screening and more small arms fire. Use those 3 Elites slots for something useful like Priests or a Datasmith for your blob of robots.
