I tend to trust the roumors which whisper there will be a new codex for the machine warriors soon - with cool new units. <br />Another good reason for me is the challenge of founding an all-plastic-army full of warriors and destroyers. If u don't know: there are stories about a plastic "Necromancer" out there - a monstrous Necron creature and in addition new plastic tomb spiders. I'm also planning my own C'tan (if possible also plastic). <br />It's amazing to recognize people not playing ANOTHER SM army, cause its too much in my opinion and having success.<br />Sorry for the mistakes - I'm from Germany =)<br />Keep it up guys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626876871642805506.post-24925870358782645902010-05-09T09:56:37.397-07:002010-05-09T09:56:37.397-07:00One problem with your list: ATM Necron Lords are m...One problem with your list: ATM Necron Lords are mandatory.Oblivion_Necroninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02347100798778703087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626876871642805506.post-5596727889216907412010-04-21T06:11:58.699-07:002010-04-21T06:11:58.699-07:00My Heavy Destroyers would be awesome if they could...My Heavy Destroyers would be awesome if they could hit anything, since unlike yours they survive most of the game. <br /><br />However, those guys are all 1's and 2's for me in EVERY GODDAMN GAME I've played with my necrons.The CPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522988677043456856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626876871642805506.post-84142601147452880922010-04-19T11:51:30.401-07:002010-04-19T11:51:30.401-07:00"which will be my last army."
Haha, you..."which will be my last army."<br /><br />Haha, you say that now... :D<br /><br />Anti-mech does not mean you have to kill vehicles though. Often you just have to stop them from shooting and Necrons are great at that (auto-glance on a 6).<br /><br />The Particle whip is actually one of the best anti-tank weapons in the game. People get too hung up on scatter but really it's not that bad. STR9 Ordnance is actually better than STR10 for anything not AV14, and the Particle whip is mounted so high up that vehicles rarely get cover. The only alternative to the Monolith is Heavy Destroyers, and they get killed so easily it's not worth taking them. The Monolith will be shooting all game but the HDs will be shooting for one turn.<br /><br />About Phase Out, it's a myth that having more Necron models prevents Phase Out. It's actually very difficult to Phase Out a good player and for the most part it's a better strategy to just play the mission. Proper tactics (keep the warriors spread out and in cover) can keep your guys alive for a long time. Necrons are also extremely resilient. 3+ armor and then 4+ WBB is as survivable as a Terminator. More on this to come.MorbidlyObeseMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069124678232969705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626876871642805506.post-34206731755001642902010-04-19T04:34:27.154-07:002010-04-19T04:34:27.154-07:00I totally agree that 5th edition nerfed Necrons ab...I totally agree that 5th edition nerfed Necrons abilities to wreck vehicles. Previously they could get a lucky glance, but not any more. HOwever in your list you don't have a lot which can take vehicles. The Deceiver is just one unit, which cannot join others and the Monos may scatter. This leaves the Destroyers which can only glance armour 12.<br /><br />Unfortunately a lot of units in the Necron codex are over costed and I cannot wait until they do a new one, which will be my last army.<br /><br />Though what you said about Monoliths is partly true, have you factored in that out of your 1750 army that about 910 is none Necrons! That's easy phase out. Take out the Destroyers and probably one and half unit of Warriors and that's it. <br /><br />Interesting read though :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192025704338851715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626876871642805506.post-84344771990161117432010-04-18T13:27:31.847-07:002010-04-18T13:27:31.847-07:00That's very interesting.

Obviously they work for you, so I'm looking forward to any insights you can share.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.com
