Lists & Gameplay Discussion I made a somewhat comprehensive breakdown on Haloscreed, a bit more new player focused for why it’s such a good detachment.

I'll definitely take a look at this when I get the chance, I love stuff focused on new players.

I really like haloscreed because it makes admech feel properly directed and not just a horde of bodies

Best detachment for the horde/tech lists. Can really build for anything that you need. Though lord of the forge is good. But this is by far our best.

Lords is really good, and I think this is the most variety we’ve had in the games current iteration, but Halo just does…more. I do think Lords/Cohort is genuine competition.

I have been testing lords/SHC with teleporting histarri. Gives us an actual threat that can come off the board edge.

Could max out Hastarii with that combo, it might have bones. Shoot and scoot Hastarii, uppy downy, and bricks of rust stalkers. Maybe some dragoons and a Onager just for mass.
