Interceptor squads? good combos?

[gendoikari87]

So I had a brain spark for the admech army, convert up some hellion skyboards as admech drones as interceptors. I'm thinking five to start with as a Rapid reaction Anti-tank team. so my question is this, what do you guys run on your interceptors?

Good in a Draigo style wing - as it gives you some much needed reach. Dreadknights fit in there two but I usually run an Inceptor squad like so.

10 Inceptor Jerks
2 Psycannons
Psybolt
Daemon Hammer X 1

That is expensive but it gives you a good mini unit to jump around and do stuff. The strength 5 allows you to push some tanks in the butt if need be especially if you combat squad the unit. What does the rest of the army look like? I really want to do an Admech army - but I have to pick a book first.

Here's the 2000 list, Going to 2500 ('ard boys) I want to get the Drone squad in and a unit of terminators. Terminators won't have much conversions to them, just Painted grey with admech symbols.

I've been using this unit lately (I've taken to master-crafting the hammer) to regularly game winning effect. They tend to die, but whether they're blocking an opponent's movement/charge, contesting objectives, or rapidly redeploying to mess with your opponent's plans they are almost my favorite unit in the codex. A bit too weak in CC to be my absolute favorite, but I have never regretted taking them. I wish there was a way to make them actual troops, so I could take some paladin/terminators and a unit or two of these guys and be done with it.

Interceptor squads are also amazing for certain Coteaz lists. use them to be your power armor annoyance.

[gendoikari87]

So don't even try to go the five man route?

[DarkLink]

Nope, too fragile and you can't hide them in Rhinos. And since they have a GKSS statline, if you're going to get into combat you need the numbers.

[gendoikari87]

well that sucks.
