Unfortunately, my expectations met reality: AdMech in 10th edition has an identity crisis. (Image source: Games Workshop) Expectations? Meet Reality I dare you to find cooler models anywhere in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. My expectations for AdMech in 10th Edition were high, as I was looking forward to the "simple not simplified" approach that Games Workshop was promoting. I'm not alone when I say that the striking AdMech model design pulled me from being a curious bystander into playing 9th Edition 40k on the tabletop in late 2022. In addition to the lore, just look at the AdMech models! Call me biased, but I'd argue that the AdMech range has some of the most impressive plastic model designs in the 40K universe, particularly the ornithoptery (Dune-esque) Archaecopter, the scuttling, crab-like Onager Dunecrawler, and the 1960's Sci-Fi-era inspired Kastelan Robot. That addiction to technology extends to their own bodies, as followers of the Omnissiah willingly replace their weak, fleshy bits with metal limbs, superior optics and sensors, turning themselves into cyborg meta-humans to better serve the Imperium.
That have crazy, insanely advanced technologies that even they know barely how to use. The tech priests of Mars are masters of technology, and design, build, repair, and refurbish nearly every piece of military hardware that the Imperium of Man uses. If you're an AdMech fan like me, you may have been drawn to them based on traits that make them stand out in 40k lore. While I believe Games Workshop delivered admirably on their "simplified not simple" mantra in 10th Edition overall, the changes outlined in the AdMech 10th edition index have gutted a great deal of what I thought AdMech as a faction was. AdMech in 10th edition has an identity crisis.
