I figured I'd throw this in there, but the new Space Marine combat patrol is literally just the Vanguard start collecting box, with a tank thrown in. People online have spotted that from the poses shown in the picture, as well as the contents being the same.
The vanguard box was push fit models, not the full kits. As such, despite saying that the kits can be built one of two ways, it can only be built one way. That is of course assuming that it wasn't just a stock photo, and that it is indeed just the sprues from the start collecting.

The Necron patrol is just the Necron Kill Team box + a night scythe and tomb blades

I'm not particularly familiar with Admech, but my reading of that goonhammer articles left me with the following footnotes:
If your opponent is Mars, it's a gunline. The unit combos in the Gunline will look MUCH different than a few weeks ago, as the CORE changes heavily impact which units are favoured for this role.
Iron Striders are keystone units, their mobility, damage output, and fact they can swallow up any buffs available makes them quite deadly, these will be sold out for months through as they are the newest hotness in the dex.
Admech + Knights will be a combo that will likely see strong synergy. A Knight to soak anti-tank firepower while squishier stuff goes to work on objectives and your firebase is possibly a strong combo that might be explored.
Kataphrons and Kastelans have massively changed in their role, expect them to be used more like an elite hammer unit and have them pushed up in your grill. they are no longer sit-back-and-shoot units.

That auto-wound on 4's strat is ridiculous. Loved the look on Bridger's face when he got hit with it two turns in a row. The look of utter "this is bullshit" on his face was pretty funny.
....but hey, good news, you don't really have to worry about Drukhari anymore lol

Ya it was nasty. But I really did think of the iron hand dex when I watch the battle report. Because it did seem like they had something for everything.
Rerolls, bonus to hit, extra save or minus one to hit. 4+ fnp vs mortals.
I would not be surprised if they had a strat to ignore psychic like iron hands had

I would not be surprised if they had a strat to ignore psychic like iron hands had One of the Forge Worlds does have that strat per a preview (can't remember which). Roll 4+ to deny one power when one of your units is in X range of the caster.
Though while I haven't had time to watch all of the batrep, I did peek at the list setups and I'm kind of wondering WTH was up with Bridger's Necrons. A Vault or a Named shard I can get, but they need escorts (wraiths or something) to take the heat off, beucase surprise, surprise; they are prime targets. And then two chronomancers and three units of warriors? The lance does do good damage but is two 5+ invuls better than having technomancers get you back 1 to 3 points of warriors every turn?
Because if two units have invuls and the other doesn't, you simply target the one without first.

someone had just commission painted the vault for them so he wanted to use it... the admech needed to be toned down a bit to actually make it a fair game.

Oh ya the necron list wasn't the best.
But still the admech seemed to have a strat for everything.
The one unit and character being able to take out reliability a 20 man warrior squad is turn is nothing to scoff at.
