How to: Destroy Necrons =)

Most people seem to have trouble beatin Necrons. Here's the things as a Necron player I fear.

1. Close Combat. I don't know why so many people have trouble with this concept. Ive even lost CC to guardsmen.... If we fail the leadership we're done for. With I of 2 we only go before powerfists lol.

2. Str. 8+ weapons and power weapons. Strength 8+ weapons will insta kill warriors and anything T 4. Unless there is a rez orb nearby this means no WBB (We'll Be Back The Necron players pride and joy). Power weapons do the same.

3. High points cost. The only troop choice we have (a Necron Warrior) costs 18 points. While they are a very good troop choice, they are very expensive. This leads to alot of min maxing for necron players.

Thats really about it. I'll try to go over the Pros of Necrons either tonight or sometime later in the week.

  2. Oh while i'm thinking about it...

    1.Isn't it technically a bad choice for necrons to min/max? They need warriors unless they want to phase out turn 2 and to hold objectives.

    2.A monolith could save said warriors that were hit by a power weapon or a S8-10 gun, right?

    3. You also go before or simultaneously w/ Carnifexes.

    4. Deceiver + Destroyers + 2 monoliths = game end...

  4. 1. It all depends on WBB lol. I have only ever Phased out once with the list I play now or an incarnation of it and that was with Kelly. But I also play 3 5 man destroyer squads so... lol.

    2. Naw. A lith only allows the reroll on the WBB if they would already get it.

    3. Ah yes thank you. Slipped my mind.

    4. It's a great combo but Deceiver doesnt count for Phase Out =/ so theres 300 points... and then 2 liths is 470? i think... and i love destroyers lol...it might be a good combo against someone thats never played against crons but theres a low phase out number....
