I’d probably go for the AP4 weapon every time I think, less range, more effective when it fires though.

I like the whole monolith corridor idea for whizzing troops around.

Plus, with my monolith being christened the gillian taylforth, having it sit at the side of the transport stop sucking off anything that gets close is kind of fitting.

Skimmer immobilised rule.

a skimmer that is immobilised immediately crashes and is destroyed (wrecked) if it moved flat out on its last turn. If it moved slower, it suffers an immobilised result as normal.

The night scythe is a very nice troop transport for 100 points.

I agree with you Warren, moving this bad boy up and then dropping off 5 Tomb Blades (100pts for 5 of them) and just look at the other bloke’s face = priceless 🙂

Night scythe needs a model now, deffo will be a multi build kit – and loving the idea of dropping off the little jetbikes for chessy killiness

Good thing about having Immortals as troops is that not only they give extra choice of troops but you can actually give them one of two options.

Firstly Ghostarks are way better if you consider firing from the transport itself. Its Open topped
so all the warriors can fire from it. So 10 24″ S4 AP5 shots from them plus 5 24″ S4 AP5 from each Flayer array. All of which can independently fire at different targets. So In rapid fire range thats 40 S4 AP5 shots. Which glance on a 6.

Don’t forget that Gauss doesn’t auto-wound anymore. That might have contributed to the reduction in points, just a hair though. I mean, you won’t be taking out T9 or T10, but it’s still something, I think…

Also, Rez Orbs only affect the unit you’re in. So no Rez Orb shenanigans anymore. 🙁

Oh, and don’t forget, since the Ghost Ark is Open-Topped, it is still possible to Wreck yourself with a Glancing hit, but that’s on a 1 then a 6…

Darrel wanted to see a monolith with flashing lights check out this article on the BOLS blog: http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2011/11/40k-hobby-pimp-my-monolith.html

Great video, thanks for making them! They really give me a feel for these 40k armies.

My problem with the night scythe is that if it gets destroyed (which isn’t much of a leap considering armor 11), embarked units don’t disembark, instead they go into reserve. So if you’re trying to speed your unit across the board and the scythe gets killed, your unit is stuck walking on from your board edge, beyond nullifying what you tried to do with it.

Sucking off a unit of 20 warriors? What are you, an Ultramarine or something?

question about dispersion shields. It says ‘if THIS save is used’ so does that mean only weapons AP3 or better are used then you get to deflect shots, because the BRB says you always have to take your best save possible?

Am I the only one having a problem starting all the new necron video’s? They dont start and all I see is advertisement playing.

Sad that you didn’t discuss the special rule of the sweeping attack of the command barge. I find it quite interresting to be able to allocate wounds on specific models from my opponents unit. And because these hits are resolved in the movement phase the transported character could still get out and attack another unit… oh and there’s still left the shooting phase for the command barge.

The stat comparisons take me back to sitting next to my nan on pools night 🙂
