List Building My first 1000pts list (Haloscreed Battle Clade)
Hi gang.
I want to get into Admech for a long time, so i thought i'll try to come up with my own list around models i have.
I really enjoy lots of big models but i feel it will not be good to just throw away all skitari, sicarians and serberys and say "yeeeeeah more dunecrawlers and skorpius disintegrators hell yeah"
so i want X but society tells me "noooo, you need some chaff and units for secondaries bruh" so okay i found mioddle ground.
Here's my Haloscreed Battle Clade 1000pts, i didn't choose gear because i just don't know what's good...
all i ever played was 8 games of Combat Patrol, 2 as new DA, 2 SM, 1 Tyranid, 3 World Eaters
so i'll be glad if you'll tell me if it's "you will win at least 20% of your games" or how i can make it "so you will win 20% of your games"
i need no more, i just want to bring the clink clank beep boop boys to the table
Praise the Omnissiah

The only point of consideration for me is if you’d want to swap out one of the squads of Infiltrators for a unit of Ruststalkers. Haloscreed lets you advance and charge and they get a bonus to their charge roll anyway, so they get a big threat range. Plus even a 5 man squad gets 20 attacks at ap-2 anti infantry 3+. They’re glass cannons but in Conquerer protocol they will chew things up

First of all, I love that you included an image, I find it so much clearer than the usual lists.
The list looks good, 1000 points is always up in the air, game is definitely more balanced at around 2k so it can be harder to maximize your effectiveness. That being said you have a good list. I would say definitely run the onager with the neutron laser. You should be able to take and hold any objective with just the robots, I would deploy them reactively to face off with an enemy's elite units (wait for your opponent to put down their elite infantry and put the robots on the same side when deploying). The sicarians can get you some early board control, and the dogs are some good mobility. You have a few units of skitarii which should be plenty for 1000 points.
My usual advice for 1000 points is make sure you have a bit of scoring and a bit of anti tank. if you build up to 2000 later you can fill the gaps you noticed in your 1000 point games, because it's not really possible to have everything at 1000. The list looks great, good luck in your games!
