Watch out! Incoming grammar Nazis!!!

So what your saying is after laying dormant for millions of years. The time is not right and they should go back into stasis.
All very fluffy is Darrell Ok 🙂

I don’t see why people keep ripping of Necrons in 6th edition. I love what the new rules have done for my necrons. I may shift my strategies around a bit, but overall I’m quite pleased.

I agree with bigbri. Why is giving a ‘Denial Seargeant’ a Storm Shield to tie up an enemy all the rage, but you don’t like the Phase Shifter? It means he also has a save against Lascannons and other AP 1-2 weapomns, making him even more durable. And on the Resurrection Orb, what if you decied to save 30 points and not get it, he dies, then you roll a…wait for it…4 on your Reanimation Protocols? It makes him that much more durable, especially in challenges. Like he dies in a challenge, then gets up, and can challenge again. Also,… Read more »

A necron lord with a res orb, 2+ and warscythe is 90 points. the 15 points more than a sanguinary priest with a jump pack. Both the characters are helping units in different ways and the the lord is also more fighty.

I know he is trying to implement the same points cost to his tactics, but remember the characters have different benefits.

Necrons are still a top army.

Gauss spam can pretty much handle any army. More so than it could in 5th.

IG with loads of tanks? No problem. Glancing hits can wreck, now.

Swarms of ‘nids? Good luck getting close enough to attack, you’re bound to have to suffer at least 1 round of 2 shots with an AP better than your saves.

I still spam Warriors, Ghost Arks, Lords and Immortals… that’s a lot of gauss and a lot of getting back up/repairing.

Also, night fighting can really ruin a Space Wolf (Or any long-ranged army for that matter.) army and there’s plenty of ways to obtain it.

In a challenge with a Warscythe a Lord probably won’t be squished :p.

The Lord would attack first. That’d be 2 attacks with S7 at WS4 and no armour saves allowed.

So a Termie would have to rely on his 5+ Inv save.

I can’t understand what you guys are thinking. I’ve seen and heard nothing but good things about Necrons in 6th edition. They can spam flyers better than anybody, have some of the most resilient troops in the game (even if you do kill them they have a 50%chance to get back up if equipped properly), they have some of the most useful HQ’s in the game. Necrons have become one of the better armies since their codex was released and I haven’t seen anyone complaining about them, as a matter of fact I’ve seen more people start Necron armies since… Read more »

Darryl, you really don’t want to put your lord right at the front mate. As your dice rolling proved, he will die cos we all roll bloody 1’s………and you don’t want to lose something that carries a warscythe, an orb which ensures that your guys get back up 50% of the time.
I believe Necrons are better in 6th and overall, got a boost.

lolwut necrons have the best codex out, who is complaining they have lost their punch

Good post kendo. I like how you used Imotekh for your avatar.
