Well.. im building a Command barge as I wtch this video.. and ive stopped just gotten to the point where I glue the “bridge” on, and im thinking..hmmm maybe I might change my plans. I was going to put Tryzan The infiltrate up there to do sweep attacks, kill one model, then make every model with the same name have to roll to see if they take a wound. Do you really think this is pointless now? Where I live there is no one that plays space wolves fortunately, so I dont have to worrie about that to much. I… Read more »
Tesla will zap the snot out of flyers.
Cool, I still have my command barge to build, but I was going to leave the Necron Lord off so I could use him on foot instead; makes a nice bonus character mini. But I’m also glad now I’ve seen this video first; handy info guys! 🙂
At 2000 points a necon player may have up to 4 HQ choices. Well, maybe is expensive, but also gives the advantage to have 4 harbingers of despair that can teleport their units every turn, and it could be really difficult for the enemy to catch the necrons in close combat. That plus some Doom Scytes makes an army which can concentrate all its fire in one point every turn. I think it´s awesome, but first I´ve to put this in practice.
Not all the elites are bad, what about Lychguard?
They come as standard with a Warscythe, which gives them 2 basic attacks at S7 that ignore all armor saves hit at I2 (and have armourbane). So up against power fists or thunder hammers these guys will get to go first.
Yeah I thought about that too.. The Lychguard that is. I think anyone with a war-scythe and mind shackle scarabs is awesome. Like you said, there going to go first against power fist and thunder hammer guys. I get abit despondent listening to Darren abit sometimes, but he always compares guys to the space wolves and what Jaws can do to squads. Well, there abit of a cheesy army most ppl would agree. I think flyers are really powerful for the necrons, and it fits well into the fluff of them often being the first wave. I still STRONGLY belive… Read more »
When is this codex coming out in North America?
Im sure by now yous all know that flyers have been FAQd following the question below. Q: How do maelstroms, novas and beams – or indeed any weapon that doesn’t need to roll To Hit or hits automatically – interact with Zooming Flyers and Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures? (p13) A: Only Snap Shots can hit Zooming Flyers and Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures. Therefore, any attacks that use blast markers, templates, create a line of/area of effect or otherwise don’t roll to hit cannot target them. This includes weapons such as the Necron Doom Scythe’s death ray or the Deathstrike missile… Read more »
