24"? What? It's only 6+D6 already.

Besides, it works both ways - it can kill your enemies, but can also be devastating to your own lines. It does make people a bit fearful of running those Meltaguns up to it..

..or maybe not considering the points trade off of your command squad/CCS/PCS/Veteran squad/whatever.

Ah well, it's all fun. No, there's no scatter. I may also have to change it so that the Power Matrix cannot be fired if it uses any of the three other options..

6+D6 will be the radius of the boom. So potentially 6+6" = 12. Expand that out from from the model in a circle and you get the monolith in the middle of a 24" diameter circle.

So you justify making warrior's guns rending and giving them T5 by making their Armour 4+?

No. Just no. What you basically have there is plague marines but instead of carrying 2 plasma guns the entire squad is rending.

Make warriors at least 22-23 ppm

You're right there. But technically we're on about the same thing.

I could do that. But it'd be damned hard for them in low-level games. But I'll think about it for the next revise.

Maybe make two sorts of Warriors, one "weak" (with T4 and 3+) and one "tough" (with T5 and 4+, even 3+).
Along to adds diversity, it would solve your problem. Sorta.

In the next fandex update, these are probably some of the changes I'm going to implement:

Necron Lords - Layout, and change BS/WS to 4, but increase a few stats here and there. Possibly remove Platinum Lords' special rule, and decrease points costs.
Necron Warriors - Downgrade to T4 and leave the points cost the same. (?) Considering lowering WS, perhaps even BS. Then we'd be seeing a points decrease.
Monolith - Will re-word the rules to make them easier to read, possibly change some of them, for example cannot fire Power Matrix if options 1/2/3 are used.
Tomb Stalker - Might overhaul the rules.

As for the special characters.. well, The Herald will probably have the same treatment as the other Lords, although he might get WS5 and BS5.

What do you guys think? Maybe I should just do army-wide WS/BS 4? That'd make me sad for the Wraiths though..

Maybe go for army-wide BS/WS 4, but make Wraiths an exception as they have no need for BS. Give them WS 5/6 to compensate for no ranegd.

Praxiss wrote:Maybe go for army-wide BS/WS 4, but make Wraiths an exception as they have no need for BS. Give them WS 5/6 to compensate for no ranegd.

That was my thinking. The Necron Lords DO need to have a weakness somewhere, after all!

Why? They don't really have a weakness now except for how expensive they can get.

True, but points justification generally isn't enough. It needs to be comparatively 'justified' (edit: comparatively to other HQ choices in other codicies) or some such bullcrap.

God damnit, this all started with that comment ages ago about Necrons not being able to learn.

Lets see what responses I get now.. *grumble*

Wait, i must have missed a few pages somewhere. Necrons can't learn? Why not?

Pretty much any modern tech can learn (custom dictionaries on phones, form fillers on PCs etc). So while they might noy be able to "learn" per se, surely Necrons would be able to draw on past experience and adapt to the current situation.

Example: A company of Marines attacks some necrons and fights them off. The same Necron Lord then encounter Marines again in the future. Having seen their tactics before, the Lord adapts to these and moves forward.

If you want to explain why some lords are better than others then maybe put it in the Fluff that Necron experience is shared amoung the Lords like a Hive Mind (I'm thinking Borg-esque here). So if a Lord encounters marines on planet A, a lord on planet B might then have knowledge about marine tactics and adapt as such. That way, when they encounter the Marines, the Lord could be suitably upgraded from a standard Bronze Lord to a Gold Lord by the tomb/powers that be to deal with this new threat.

I don't write the fluff I'm afraid, I just work with it.

But comparatively to any other HQ in the game, the Platinum Lord is unstoppable.

Necrons can learn... soulless doesent make you stupid, remember they are necrontyr that are in the necron shells and the Ctan arnt stupid either. Also Pariah's are new and shows that yes necrons can adapt

Going by the codex fluff regarding games that grant experience, it states something close to "having been around for millenia there is not much else for them to learn that they do not already know."

Or something to that effect.

But presumably if they encounter somethign new they will learn from that.

That quote suggests to me it is in the context of technology, science, how the universe works. That kind of thing.

Meh. So you guys think I should just leave them as they are? To me, the Necron Lord is pretty overpowered in terms of survivability, when fully kitted out. T6, 2+ 3++ and FnP that he can always take.

Unkillable.

Yeah. needs to be toned down somewhere. Is it T6 or T5(6). If it is the former then he would still be vulnerable to Plasma and S10, neither of which would allow FNP normally.

Also, if he was kitted out as above, how much would he cost? That woudl be lethal normally, but if the whole army was him and 2 squads of warriors then you're kind of boned anyway.

Not if he gets into combat with a Warscythe you're not. Besides, him, "maxed out" with a resurrection orb and two ten-strong squads of warriors would still be almost impossible to take down at present.

That's 20 models at T5 4+ and always taking FnP, with Rending rapid-fire weaponry that hits on 3+ that they can move and shoot. To top it off, they're being led by a monstrousity of an independant character who is hiding amongst their ranks with T7, Eternal Warrior, 2+ armour save, 4++ Invulnerable save, with 4 wounds and 4+ FnP that he can always take. What's more, he gets five(!) S7 power weapon attacks that ignore Invulnerable saves and rolls 2D6 for armor penetration.

Yeah, don't blame me for disagreeing with you that they'd be boned.

Hey darkvoid, I don't see in your write up that you listed any kind of restrictions on upgrades that lords could take. Like how right now they're limited to 100 points of wargear, I don't see you have anything like that in yours. I do see you at least said "may pick ONE of the following" for the body style upgrades.

To Praxxis - A fully kitted platinum lord is going to cost well over 300 points and close to 400 depending on what you give him. Unless darkvoid decides to put a point cap on wargear allowed.

I did put a cap with previous editions, but that just stopped the lower-level Lords getting better to any significant extent and made the Platinum an auto-choice.

To be honest, I don't see people not taking the Platinum in anything over 1k. Hell, even under 1k he could be a beast in an elite Destroyer army or something, although it would just be better to take a Gold for that.

In order to permit a Lord to be killed, maybe make the orbe for all necron in range, except the Lord himself.

Happy New Year !!

Give it up for the "official" MK3 of Crondex!

SPECIAL RULES
Necron – A unit with this special rule has the Feel No Pain and Fearless universal special rules.

Gauss Weapons – A Necron ranged weapon with this rule has the Rending universal special rule.

WEAPONS:
Gauss Flayer – Range: 24” Strength: 4 AP: 5 Type: Rapid-Fire, Gauss Weapon

Gauss Blaster – Range: 24” Strength: 5 AP: 4 Type: Rapid-Fire, Twin-Linked, Gauss Weapon

Gauss Cannon – Range: 36” Strength: 6 AP: 4 Type: Heavy 3, Gauss Weapon

Monolith Power Matrix – Range: 48” Strength: 10 AP: 1 Type: Ordnance 1, Large Blast

Gauss Disintegrator – Range: Template Strength 4 AP: 2 Type: Assault 1, Gauss Weapon

WARGEAR:
Staff of Light: The Staff of Light is a Power Weapon that can be fired as a Gauss Disintegrator in the shooting phase.

Warscythe: The Warscythe is a two-handed power-weapon that ignores Invulnerable saves as well as armour saves and allows the user to roll 2D6 Armour Penetration against models with an armour value in close-combat. It can also be fired in the shooting phase as a Gauss Flayer.

Destroyer Body: a model mounted on a Destroyer body has the unit type: Jetbike. Note that the model does not gain +1 Toughness.

Resurrection Orb: Any of your units with at least one model within 12” of a Necron Lord with a Resurrection Orb, including the Lord himself, may always take their Feel No Pain tests regardless of the weapon causing the wound.

Phase Shifter: A model with a Phase shifter benefits from a 4+ Invulnerable save. Additionally, the model may move through impassable terrain, as long as it doesn't end its move inside it.

Phylactery: A model with a Phylactery can re-roll failed Feel No Pain rolls.

Gravitational Disruptor: A model equipped with a Gravitational Disruptor may use it in the Shooting Phase instead of firing a weapon, provided it didn't move that turn. All units with a model within 24” of the Gravitational Disruptor when used will count as being in both difficult and dangerous terrain if they move in their next movement phase, run or make an assault move until the end of your next turn.

Lightning Field: Every unit with a model in base contact with a Necron unit with a lightning field will take D6 hits each turn in the assault phase, before any attacks are made. The Strength of these hits is equal to the number of Necrons in the unit that are in base contact.

Solar Pulse: Once per game at the beginning of your opponents turn, the controlling player may activate the Solar Pulse if the Necron Lord with this wargear is still alive. All enemy units are at -1 BS for the rest of their turn as they are blinded. Also, if the Night Fighting rules are in effect, they will be suspended for the rest of the turn.

Energized Claws: A model with Energized Claws attacks using the Rending universal special rule in close combat.

Fused Plating: A model with Fused Plating has a 2+ armour save.

Veil of Darkness: Utilizing seemingly impossible technology, the Necron Lord moves himself and his silent warriors, seemingly disappearing into darkness and reappearing elsewhere. At the beginning of the turn, the controlling player may remove the Necron Lord and any unit he is with from the table and replace them anywhere on the board via the Deepstrike rules.

Defence Scarabs: The Necron Lord is protected by Scarabs that stay near their master to protect and fight for him. The Necron Lord may make three additional attacks in close combat, at strength 3 and initiative 2 with armour saves allowed as normal. The Necron Lord counts as WS 2 for the purposes of these attacks.

Powered Claws: The attacks from a model with Powered Claws ignore armour saves in an assault.

Wraith body: The model gains the Wraith Phase Shifter wargear, and moves in the same way as a Jetbike – note that the models' unit type does not change to Jetbike, and remains the same.

Wraith Phase Shifter: Grants a 3+ Invulnerable save. Additionally, the model may move through impassable terrain, as long as it doesn't end its move inside it.

Chronometron:
At the beginning of the owning players' turn, the player may select one of the following options:
Gain Initiative 10 until the end of the turn.
Gain the Fleet Universal Special Rule until the end of the player turn.
Gain the Hit and Run Universal Special Rule until the end of the player turn.
Gain the Counter-Attack Universal Special Rule until the end of the player turn.
Note that none of the above options may be taken twice in a row.
In addition, a Necron Lord that has a Chronometron and any unit it is attached to will automatically pass any Initiative tests they may be required to take - so long as the Necron Lord is alive.

Flayer Claws: Attacks from a model with Flayer Claws ignore armour saves and the user will strike at +1 strength in close-combat.

Monolith
Statline: BS: 4 Front Armour: 14 Side Armour: 14 Rear Armour: 14
Points cost: 300
Unit Type: Tank, Skimmer
Number/unit: 1
Special Rules – Deep Strike,
Crewless: The Monolith has no crew. It is unaffected by crew stunned and crew shaken results on the vehicle damage chart.
Living Metal: The Monolith has a 4+ Invulnerable save against all glancing and penetrating hits – taken before rolls on the damage table.
Teleport: This rule confers three abilities to the Monolith, labelled ‘1)’ ‘2)’ and ‘3)’. The controlling player may choose to utilise one of them each turn exactly as described per turn. However, if any of them are used then the Monolith may not fire its Monolith Power Matrix in the same turn. This rule, including the three abilities it confers, may not be used if the Power Matrix has been destroyed.
1)A single Necron infantry unit coming on from reserve may enter play from the Monoliths' portal, provided it was on the table at the start of the turn as if they had just disembarked.
2)At the beginning of your turn, you can pick one of your infantry units on the board and remove them from the table, then replace them as if they had just disembarked from the Monolith – treating the portal as an access point.
3)The Monolith may teleport itself – remove the model from the table and replace it anywhere atleast 18 inches away from its previous position, but no more than 36 inches away. It may not do anything else for the rest of the turn if it teleports itself!
Ponderous: The Monolith is slow and lumbering, and can only move up to 6” per turn. If it does move, it may still fire all of its weapons (unless it is teleporting itself – see above). If the Monolith suffers an immobilized result on the vehicle damage chart, then it will not crash and be destroyed, but sink to the ground and continue to fight from there.
Auto Targeting: When the Monolith's Gauss Destructor's fire, they each fire at the closest enemy unit that they can. This could result in the Monolith firing at separate units. The Monolith Power Matrix may fire at a separate target to the Gauss Destructor's, but it doesn't have to be the closest.
Wargear
4 Gauss Destructor's,
Monolith Power Matrix: The Monolith Power Matrix is a massive protruding crystal on the top of a Monolith that pulses with sickly green energy. It may be fired in the shooting phase with the following profile:
Monolith Power Matrix – Range: 48” Strength: 10 AP: 1 Ordnance 1, Large Blast, Gauss Weapon
If the Monolith suffers a Destroyed – Explodes! result, then the cataclysmic energies of the Power Matrix are released. All units with a model within 6+D6 inches suffer a Strength 8 AP 1 hit. This overrides the normal rules for vehicles exploding, and the Monolith will never explode in any other way than described above. Vehicles are hit on their side armour.
Options:
A Monolith may be equipped with a Gravitational Disruptor for +25pts

Tomb Stalker
Statline: WS: 4 BS: 4 S: 6 T: 7 W: 5 I: 4 A: 4 LD: 10 Sv: 3+
Points cost: 195
Unit Type: Monstrous Creature
Number/Unit: 1
Special Rules -
Sense Cluster: Tomb Stalkers have the Night Vision
universal special rule.
Brutal Assault: The Tomb Stalker itself is a weapon; a mass of bladed limbs and razor-sharp armour plates. It gains +2 attacks on a turn in which it assaults as opposed to the usual +1.
War Construct: The Tomb Stalker is a huge mass of shifting pseudo-metal, with little vulnerability except to the massive use of force. Sniper weapons, attacks with the Poisoned ability and the like, only wound the Tomb Stalker on a 6 (as opposed to a 4+, 2+ etc, as would normally be the case).
Phase Tunnelling: The Tomb Stalker is extraordinarily fast, and carries inbuilt phase field projectors allowing it to pass easily through inert matter, boring its way through rock and stone, and effortlessly passing through debris and rough terrain as it moves. As a result it has the Fleet, Deep Strike, Move Through Cover and Hit and Run universal special rules.
Wargear: Two Gauss Flayers

You forgot to remove the Lord's staff of light, and maybe to decrease their point costs (except the Platinum's) - (because of the staff).

Hah! So I did, Arkon, so I did.. only did it for the Platipusinum.

Anyway, I'll get right on it. Don't 'spose you (or anyone else, for that matter..) had any other comments?

Also, how about giving the Herald of the C'tan the Ancient Enemy special rule that the Platipusinum used to have?

just wondering about the c'tan
reading the fluff the command structure suggests platnium lords as you demonstrated and/or more c'tan, just posing the question, will you add c'tan to this list?

I will eventually be adding the C'tan, but as Apocalypse Datasheets.

Looks pretty darn snazzy mate !

Hope you don't mind but i've copied and pasted the Codex and the link to this page onto the Roll With It Forum.

I've given all Credit to you ;-)
I Lack the imagianation to create or update a codex


The only downside to this is that the Destroyers, whats to stop people from taking all of them as Heavy Destroyers, but leaving one as a Destroyer so as to keep it as a Fast Attack Choice?

You can have a Destroyer unit made entirely of Heavy Destroyers and still have it as Fast Attack. It's optional.

I would've preferred it if you'd asked permission before posting it on another website, but ah well. What's done is done.
