Here we have it, folks, our THIRD matchup!

In the red corner, we have the Necron Cryptek! Techno-sorcerer, collector and master of arcane magi-tech, this mechanical magician bends the universe to his will through thought-defying physics and inconceivable processes.

In the blue corner, we have the Space Marine Librarian! A meld of might and mind fashioned in the image of the God-Emperor, the Librarian is a powerful psyker, who employs his powers in service of the chapter. Before the sheer psychic might of the Librarian, few can hope to stand.

There you have it, folks, and here are the rules! A vote of overwhelming victory gives its contestant one point, while a vote for a rough victory gives the contestant half a point. A vote for a straight draw awards a half point to both contestants, and a majority vote of a mismatch will lead to no contest. Voting is based on fluff and personal impressions, so please keep meta to a minimum, and NO MATH-HAMMER ALLOWED. Be civil in your discussions, and may the best prevail!

Overwhelming victory to the Cryptek. The Librarians true strength plays against it's enemies mind, preventing or disrupting me mental action, the physical damage he inflicts, by using smite for example, is ineffective against the Crypteks metal, not flesh. The close combat damage he makes is minor as well. I don't care if he has a channeled staff to instantly down whatever he hits. If he isn't smashing that Cryptek to tiny bits, it is getting back up. The Cryptek has weapons which effect technology. The armor and weapons of the Librarian may be effect. Any of the Crypteks weapons are deadly against the Librarian, the opposite of him.

I couldn't help but notice, you forgot to actually vote in the poll, so you may wanna jump on that. XD

Wondrously excellent, Lord Magnus.

CRYPTEKKKKK

Again, your vote wasn't tabulated. :/ This is strange...

Lolwut?

There are three votes in. One rough win for the Librarian, that was the first vote and it was placed anonymously. Then, I've got a count for rough win Cryptek, which I'm assuming is either yours or Magnus'. However, there's no overwhelming vote for Cryptek, which Magnus said he placed, and I have an anonymous vote for straight draw, and I have NO IDEA where THAT came from.

Weird.

I'm going for the Librarian on this one. Smite would effect the Cryptek, contrary to what was said above. Also, Vortex of Doom would suck it into the Warp. Try getting back up after that. Another nice trick would be Machine Curse. Necrons are robots, robots are machines. If it came to combat the Librarian can boost his speed and damage output, meaning that he will hit faster and harder than the Cryptek, probably causing enough damage to make it phase out.

Voted for the librarian, if not with his powers he can just beat the crap out of the cryptek being a super-human killing machine and all, I always wondered does the acidic saliva of the SM effect living metal.

Good good good. So far, it's all pretty close, but this is only day one!

Sorry but I think the Cryptex has it. Mindshackle Scarabs would proove too much for the Librarian.

Can i redo my vote?

The voting is split precisely fifty-fifty, xenos and heretics! I swear upon the Golden Throne, if you make me write a tie, I will DAMN YOUR SOULS TO THE WARP.

LET ME VOTE AGAIN THEN!

If only I could.

TermiesInARaider wrote:If only I could.

Well i put the draw so consider it rough necron victory.

I think it's a little premature for that; we've still got another day's worth of voting. On other notes; NEXT MATCHUP! Godhammer Land Raider Vs. Tau Hammerhead Gunship!

Librarian. Assuming vanilla Libby, I think he could hit hard enough to cause phase out. also, Force weapon. Think lightsaber.

The votes are exactly even, It will be close.

Not quite. Libby has one point on the Cryptek. It's still anyone's game, though, there's another full day left of voting.

The Cryptek would fall, compared with a Librarian, he's not as mighty in both power or physical ability.

Nah, a rough win is half a point.

Oh ok,

Cryptek cause after all is said and done he will come back in the end!!! I wanna see a showdown between nobz and tyranid warriors soon!!! both fully upgraded if you please!!!!!!!

Whoo, damn, this is close! XD

Librarian. If we're going straight up vanilla, even if he can't defeat the Cryptek with his Pysker Powers, he should still be able to slice through him like butter with the Force Sword.
