Well, my ranged heavy army I had planned out is now scared, hahaha. Oh well, I like how AdMech look, and that's what matters.

I've always run them to decent effect as a combined arms force That is good to know. I did see the sicarians, and I think one of the dragoon options is melee focused. Can't check the codex at the moment, so can't check what the other stuff are. Not electro priests though. Those are the only things in the army that I don't like the look of. I know they are good at melee (At least that's what I've heard), but I hate their look and find them to be ugly, so I won't be getting any, hahaha. |

Even as a T'au dude, I'm fine with this. It will speed up the game immensely.

plus it motivates people to as Jake said use a combined arms force rather than a one trick pony. Gunlines got way out of control in 8th... I'm extremely happy to see that they've considered that it's not very fun for someone to lose the roll off for first turn and just get shot off the board.

Vast improvement. 60/40 armies are so much more fun to both play and play against than pure gunlines/fortresses.

I'm kind of 'meh' on the Overwatch changes to be honest because the changes are fairly minimal for me. The only time that would really effect me is if the enemy is charging two warrior/Immortal groups to lock both up. In 8e it would be 'charge one and consolidate into the other to avoid overwatch' and now they can just do it normally. And with Destroyers (my other main shooting units) my opponents dog-pile one unit to try and wipe it out before RP can kick in.
As for combined arms, it'll depend on if taking the Wraiths/Skorpekhs is worth the dilution in volume of ranged fire.

Sigh...
Crying in Thousand Sons. Overwatch was my one chance to deal some damage in melee.

I love the priests personally, but if you don't like their aesthetic, that is your call! Ruststalkers are always disappointing, but infiltrators are solid. And I'm sorry if I'm being too brash but if you are running Ad Mech without Dragoons you are playing them wrong. They are thoroughly good (as most of mu opponents will attest) |

Its why I ran a solid CC element even playing Guard! Though now with the all vehicles can move and fire heavy with no penalty (finally) I have to look at something other than tallarn to play |

Overwatch was my one chance to deal some damage in melee. yeah but your hellbrutes now getting to shoot IN melee is pretty gross... as that was the way to stop them before, tag them and they cannot shoot... now they can actually lead the charge, gunning shit down and no longer fearing the melee bad touch while the rubrics can safely walk behind. That's going to net you far more than only getting to overwatch once! (and really barring crazy vehicle flamers, I find overwatch that isn't tau isn't so scary... unless you're T3 with a 5+ save that is!) |

I like combined arms so have tended to play them even when they are not in favour. Though when out of favour they kind of confuse some opponents who are too focused on the new hotness. Glad to see they have a shot at being good again. That and they give people a chance to put some cool looking "haven't seen one of those in forever" units from their collection back on the table.

They are thoroughly good (as most of mu opponents will attest) I do plan to get a dragoon at some point. It'll take some time though, as I'm not made of money, hahaha. In general my whole army will take some time, as I don't want to rush it. |
