Other than that it`s up to choice. you can choose between swarms and wraiths for fast intervention meat shielding and immortals/destroyers/heavy destroyers for range slogging. In my experience destroyers work wonders but i never got the chance to play a game in 5th so wait for someone else to give a final word on that

| Primer | Re: Just starting Necrons Ha! The one thing I'm really concerned with would be the combination of 5th edition combat resolution and the Necron phase out rule. Together, they seem to make Necrons almost auto-lose if the enemy ever manages to engage in close combat. Thoughts? Ways to keep Necrons a fresh army for new players? Wakim's info was spot on. Necrons do much better as a shooty/raider force, but I favour Necrons as a hitty/assault force. 5th Edition has made the distance between the two possibilities that much greater, with close combat setups that much weaker than before. |
