So I know that Shannon was hoping for a chance to throw down against the Imperium's latest (non-space marine) metal box but it's probably going to be a while before the guy hits the game mat in any list I make. So as a consolation prize, let's analyze this thing into the ground. Because while Admech (aside from the Knights) have shown up to play, I'm pretty sure nobody's ever brought this guy.

So stats wise he's a bit squishier then a Leman Russ with T7 and 12 wounds. No invul means lascannons, missile launchers, fire prisms, D.Arks, etc can just blast him off the map. However, he is fairly cheap points wise at just 116 while his transport counterpart is 73 so them getting shot off the map first turn isn't the end of the world.
....Granted the Dunecrawler with Neutron laser is 119 so not that much difference between the two (with the crawler getting a 5+ invul).
Overall this guy seems geared to taking out skimmers, light walkers/vehicles, heavy infantry and so on. I mean it's Ferrumite cannon can only do 9 damage to a target assuming everything hits and the missile launcher is d6 shots and d3 damage. Worse yet, the launcher is only wounding t8 stuff on fives.
The energy cannon I can see being useful as it ignored LoS meaning that it can target units that are taking advantage of LoS. blocking cover.
So he's useful but from what I've seen/read so far in Admech the Kastelan robots are a lot better at dakka/mob pruning (along with being much more resilient via Aegis protocol) and the Dunecrawlers are better at taking out the big guys.
