Undying Artificers (Necrons)
Canoptek Scarab Swarms
Scarab Swarms - Time for some Tarpitting!So I just finished 12 bases of Canoptek Scarab Swarms. For my Crusade Army we are running one minimum size unit (3 bases) and one maxiumum size unit (9 bases). Why? Well sometimes when playing you often have two or so Power Level left over. For instance let’s take the following Combat Patrol List.
- 10x Necron Warriors with Gauss Flayers (6PL)
- 10x Necron Warriors with Gauss Reapers (6 PL)
- 1x Necron Overload (6 PL)
- 3x Skorpekh Destroyers (5 PL)
That comes out to 23 Power Level, leaving us 2 left over! Having a minimum sized unit in your Crusade Order of Battle gives you a whole other maneuver element. This new unit can either camp a backline objective – or potentially contest/take an enemies backline objective – for instance they might be able to defeat a unit of Guardsmen or Cultists.
