Necrons: 2,000 points - 40K Terra

15 Warriors

Is there enough necrons in this army? I've actually seen it play before!

It's TERRIFYING.

Inquisitor Rosenadel · 11-20-2006

No. You need at least five times that many.

Holy mongoly! That's a lot of the shiny boyz! However, since you have more than two troop choices, the non-cumpulsory ones are going to have to emerge from a Monolith portal! It in the reserves rule in the warrior entry.

So all you have to do is fit a monolith in there and you're set! You might evn want 2 because if one get destroyed, then the rest of the troops can't come in!

Looks like a powerful list!

MarksmanCypher · 11-20-2006

I thought that was only if there was a monolith in the game, otherwise they just came on as reserves?

Damn! For 2 monoliths, I have to drop 26 warriors, meaning rather than needing to kill 73 necrons, they only have to kill 54!

Drat! Killing 54 necrons is easy!

Haha.

Ooo... I know what I can do.

Drop one of those units of 20 warriors, and pick up two squads of 10 Flayed Ones.

Inquisitor Rosenadel · 11-20-2006

Yeah, sorry. Need a Monolith.

Yeah, Flayed Ones would be good counter-assault units.

Tomo · 11-20-2006

Doesnt it state "They MAY start in reserves"? Other than that, I think you list is fairly solid but you will really struggle against heavy armies like Iron Warriors or IG tank armies

EDIT: I chekd my codex and it definitely says MAY begin the game in reserves

MarksmanCypher · 11-20-2006

Thanks Tomo.

And with that many Gauss shots... let's work out averages.

95 shots.

63.33333 hit.

10.55555 of these will be 6's on the Armour Penetration roll

meaning at least 1 tank per turn will die.

With so many Gauss shots, vehicles will fall. Plus, they'd struggle to get 73 necrons killed. Especially if I keep my lords in check of the units like thus:

20 - lord - 20 - 15 - 20 - lord - 20

The 15 man unit would be vulnerable to all the rubbish associated with WBB, but the other two units I could keep mostly in check of the Res. Orb.

Tomo · 11-21-2006

Yeh i guess, but just think about ORDANENCE *GASP* you wont be able to stand against, say a defiler? if it hides

timjonesiddqd · 11-21-2006

so far i have:

4x 20 warriors with disruption field.
7x scarabs with disruption field.
1x 4 flayed ones with disruption field.
1x wraith.
1x lord with disruption field, destroyer body, chronometron, gaze of flame, res orb and a war scythe.
1x heavy destroyer.
1x nightbringer.

after im finished i should have under 2700 :P
ill work on getting a monolith, a couple more squads of warriors. filling my squad of wraiths. a squad of destroyers, finish my squad of heavy destroyers, tomb spyders ha ha.... if only i had the money

it will be like that one day :P

Inquisitor Rosenadel · 11-21-2006

timjonesiddqd, your army looks good, but please don't get off topic! We're discussing MarksmanCypher's Necrons here. If you would like advice on your army, please post a new thread.

Huh, may begin in reserve, eh? I completely missed that... I'll have to read it again... Well, you might want a Monolith anyway, just to move around faster... You could also give one Lord a Veil of Darkness. Because you do need a bit more mobility, methinks.

Well, as long as those ressurection orbs are going, a Defiler or Basilisk is no problem. Now, if either Lord is destroyed, Tomo's right: you will be in for it.

timjonesiddqd · 11-21-2006

ha ha im sorry :P im half asleep

So thats where a monolith comes in, teleporte your guys and get reroll on wwb

so yea, you do cinda need a 'lith to help keep your guys alive (especially your lord)

experiment 626 · 12-06-2006

i agree... as nasty as a pure warrior army supported by 2 res orbs is, adding in a monolith simply borders on 'broken' status!
those re-rolls on your WBB rolls will infuriate pretty much any opponet

and if you want to be really evil, throw a viel of darkness onto one lord and then you can simply zip around the board zapping any hidden artillery!
'nothing is beyond death's dark gaze!' so to say...

hmmmm... i think i'll stop giving you ideas now before the 'necrons are bad dairy' hate mail starts flying!lol.

cheers!
