aha, cheers

so no twin monoliths in a 500pt each match

sadly no, but one should be sufficient to do the damage. remember in 5th ed the rumour is one vehicle damage chart, and glancings cant destroy vehicles! So onl;t strength 9/10 weapons can hurt us really!

awesome! i guess there'l be a few months where the monolith is nigh on unbeatable until they nerf it with a new dex

As far as I know the Necron redo isn't in the Pipeline yet, besides unless they Nerf the Land raider, I can't see them doing the Same to the Monolith, it is after all meant to be the best tank in the galaxy really, being living metal and all

sweet! i wonder if an army with 30 immortals will still be viable in 5th ed, i've heard its pretty pew pew in 4th

people will find a way to make it viable, after all people still play as Imperial Monkeys, and they suck a bit...

my IG struggles against nearly all armys now.. its pretty depressing rolling 20 shots with lasguns and seeing 2 ork boyz die

note why I call them Imperial monkeys! One of my friends struggles with them, any tips you can offer as hes only just started?

dont put lascannons etc in your basic 10man squads like I used to do- the squads are fodder

Also, dont bother kitting the guard up too much with upgrades, they'l still die like flys. Concentrate on getting lots of men on the board with some nice Leman Russes.

I've found a small squad of Ogryns in a Chimera can often find a weak flank and completely mess up the enemy, so these may be worth investing in.

My ratlings tend to die fast wherether I infiltrate them, not a good investment

Necrons working for the Deceiver have been known to help out humans, though not necessarily ally with them directly. Was one of the missions in the Cadian Gate Campaign, where Necrons came to the aid of an out numbered Imperial army.

Looks like the Phalanx Box will be back when Apoc II hits our shelves.

That reminds me... I should really build that Necron army I bought before Apoc came out. I've got 8000 points of 'Crons just sitting there on the sprues.

BYE

LOL, good signature btw HBMC

8000 points is... a lot

I really hope my sig gets seen for the ironic statement that it is.

That aside, yes, 8000 points is a lot. Thank goodness for eBay. Bought 8000 points worth of stuff for the price of about 2000 points.

BYE

That amount of points will keep you busy for a while... have fun?

Wow, your fingers are going to hurt like heck when you put that together. Being crons and stuff. (oh wait... not everyone uses superglue to put plastic together...)

As for the Guard thing go look up the Guard tactica written by HBMC (I think)

Thanks, I'll give it a look

Gary:

That's precisely why you must take the lascannon. Fodder is useless without something to protect that actually does the job.

Like Ratbarf said, read H.B.M.C.'s tactica instead.
