Ad Mech Crusade Rules Preview

Alright, fellow Tech-Priests, gear up because the Adeptus Mechanicus is on a scavenger hunt, and we’re not looking for just any relics – we’re after the cream of the archeotech crop. Picture this: the Necrons are doing some home improvement, so what do we do? We pack our bags, hop on an Ark Mechanicus, and go souvenir hunting. And by souvenirs, I mean lost archeotech – the holy grail of machine relics from the golden age.

In the Crusade campaigns, every time you kick some xenos or heretic butt and come out victorious, roll that D6. If you score a 5 or higher, congrats, your Technoarcheologists just unearthed an Archeotech Part. Now, you can either go for a Power Source or roll again for a specific component like a Weapon Part, a Force Field Part, or a Techno-arcana Part. Combine a Power Source with another part, and voila, you’ve got yourself a random Archeotech Treasure.

Imagine slapping a Nanoshard Projector on your Tech-Priest Dominus, turning it into the ultimate pistol to replace that lame macrostubber. Or, how about a Void Shell – a defensive projector with a 2+ invulnerable save? Sweet, right? Don’t like your luck? Toss in an extra Power Source and roll again. With 18 potential Archeotech Treasures, it’s like Christmas for Tech-Priests.

But wait, there’s more! You can also go on a full-on Indiana Jones adventure to unearth Legendary Archeotech. Collect Location Data, perform scans, gather clues – you’re basically an Explorator Maniple on a quest. Once you’ve located that Legendary Archeotech, it becomes an objective marker in your opponent’s deployment zone. Grab it by the end of the battle, and the prize is yours. Ever heard of The Doom of Thorantus? It wrecks rival machine spirits, causing vehicles to convulse and malfunction. Talk about turning the tide!

And guess what, all this scavenging isn’t just for show. Tech-Priests and machine spirits get Battle Traits, like veteran Machine Savants fixing war-engines like it’s a walk in the AdMech park. Plus, you get unique Agendas, Requisition options, more Crusade Relics, a Machine Cultist name generator (because why not), and three Crusade Badges to show off your scavenging prowess. So, grab your cogitators, Tech-Priests – we’re turning over every last rock in the galaxy for that precious technology!
