I decided to give Zandrehk, Obyron and footcrons one more trial run before moving on to other necron units. So I brought a non-optimized Necron list just to give a second look at some of the units I tried earlier against Space Marine Ravenguards (battle report here). Some of the stuff I wanted to try:

- Nemesor Zandrehk and Vargaard Obyron
- Tomb Blades (proxied using my Raveners)

There are a few changes from my previous list. This time, instead of scarabs, I wanted to try out destroyers/heavy destroyers in combination with Zandrehk giving them Tank Hunters. I also took a tricked-out Overlord so that I can legally get a 2nd royal court. And then I filled out the rest of my army with shooty lance-teks. Now I brought this build to my local gaming store (LGS) not knowing who I was going to face. My opponent turned out to bring a heavily-armoured and fast list, with razorbacks, vindicators, a land raider with FNP assault terminators and Mephiston! Gulp! Well, here's to hoping that S10 lascannons will get some prime-time game-time.

BTW, my opponent was not an overly competitive player, but he brought a solid and very dangerous list IMO.

I thought lascannons were str 9?

I want me some of these soup'ed up str 10 cannons!

Heavy destroyers are S9, but Nemesor Zandrehk can give them Tank Hunters, thereby making them essentially S10 guns against armor.

Yup, 'Crons without vehicles a.k.a Foot-Crons is a very much playable army. My brother is having fun with Zahndrekh, Obyron & DestLord combos plus a variety of watchamacallit Crons units, going toe-to-toe with GKs, CSM, BAs, Vanilla MEQs.

I'm scheduled to face him today with my Orks. Hope I can stop his FootCron-Rampage.

Anyway..great stuffs & ideas you have there JY2 !

PRE-GAME ANALYSIS:

Necrons:
Here's another fast army that's kind of scary to my army. I no longer have my Veil-teks (Cryptek with Veil of Darkness) so can only teleport 1 unit out of danger with Obyron. I probably have only 2 turns at most to shoot at his Land Raider Crusader before he is able to charge me with that scary FNP hamminator unit and Mephiston is someone I just cannot ignore. If he can stay out of LOS of my lance-teks (Crypteks with Eldritch Lance), he can cause a lot of damage. I actually think that my Mindshackle Overlord has the best chance to kill Mephiston, but in the game, I warned by opponent about how dangerous my Overlord is to his HQ (I didn't want to surprise my opponent).

My shooting is ok, but I'm not too confident that I have enough shooting to take out his vehicles fast enough before they are upon me. Wraiths will be good as a counter-assault unit either against his hamminators or Mephiston if they can survive his shooting (and perhaps vindicators). And DoW means that I'm going to have to waste a Solar Pulse if I want to shoot him on Turn 1....hmmm, not sure if I want to do that. Destroyers could potentially make or break the game, but I have a feeling that he will try to get rid of them as soon as possible as they are the biggest threat to his tanks.

I think my first real shooting phase without Night-fight will set the tone of the game. If it goes well, I have a good chance to take the game. If not, then it's going to be a long game.


Blood Angels:
IMO, his shooting is just mediocre so he should be looking to close in on me as quickly as possible. The vindicators are particularly nasty, especially if they hit my wraiths. Then, his hamminators and Mephiston provides a double-threat that will be hard for me to avoid. Besides Obyron's teleportation, I won't be able to escape their charge unless I am able to disable his LRC early or somehow kill Mephiston early. Mephiston needs to watch out for my Overlord and to stay out of LOS of my lances. If he can do that, then he may well be the MVP of the game as I have little else that can kill him. I'm going to lose a unit to his terminator charge, but I hope to be able to tarpit them with my wraiths thereafter.

Tomb blades could potentially be a huge nuisance to him, but only if I can wreck his transports. With 2+ cover on the turbo-boost, they are a prime candidate to contest his objective at the end. So is Obyron's unit. If he can disable these 2 units, then his objective should be safe as I will have no other way to get there (wraiths should be busy with either his terminators or Mephiston).

Overall, how well he will do here will probably depend on how well his transports can survive my 1st 2 turns of shooting. I believe it's going to be an uphill battle for me because my opponent will be advancing towards me and I will be playing defensively. By doing so, he will establish Positional Dominance, which is a huge advantage in objectives-based missions.

--------------------------------------------------------------


Deployment:

Map of the terrain with objectives.


My objective.


BA objective.


BA deployment. Mephiston is hiding behind his heavy flamer razor and out of LOS.


My deployment. Originally I deployed my Overlord with my immortals, but then I decided to swap him out for Zandrekh (my opponent didn't mind).


I deploy another unit of immortals here but still don't have LOS to Mephiston. BTW, I deploy both Solar Pulse crypteks in separate squads.

My necrons fail to seize the initiative and we begin.


--------------------------------------------------------------


Blood Angels 1

BA armor all come in on his turn.


Razor and Mephiston dart from 1 ruins to another with Mephiston staying out of my LOS.

No shooting.


Necrons 1

My entire army comes in. Nemesor gives his own squad Tank Hunters. I opt not to use my Solar Pulse to suppress Night-fight.

My plan is to shoot down his flamer razor and then try to shoot down Mephiston.


Tomb blades turbo 24". Left immortals advance.


I manage to blow up his razor. However, it takes all my firepower just to do so. Destroyers fire at Mephiston but he makes his cover saves. 2 marines die in the explosion.

Left crypteks fail to see in the dark.


Wraiths then run backwards to protect my destroyers and troops.


Blood Angels 2
I use my Solar Pulse.


BA tanks advance once again.


Assault marines advance. They are the only unit with the Red Thirst in the army.


In a move that kind of takes me by surprise, Mephiston goes after my tomb blades. I thought he might have gone after Zandrehk's unit but he didn't. Well, time to write them (the tomb blades) off.


1 las/plas razorback sees and shoots down 1 wraith with its lascannon.


Only 1 vindicator sees and fires at my left immortals. It scatters and he only kill 1.

That is all the shooting that was able to see.


Assault marines then furiously charge my wraiths.


Surprisingly, they actually win combat, killing 1 wraith and only losing 1 marine in return.


Mephiston assaults and wipes out all but 1 tomb blade, who unfortunately passes morale. Now I won't be able to shoot at Mephiston.


Necrons 2

Necron movement. Destroyers move to the right to get a clear shot of his LRC without cover. Nemesor gives them Tank Hunters for S10 lascannons. My Overlord breaks off on his own.


Immortals scoot back.

My shooting is horrible. Heavy destroyers only manage 1 pen on his LRC and blows off its assault cannon. All my lances either miss, fail to penetrate or fail to get pass his cover.


In assault, the Overlord joins in the wraith melee. Naturally, I wipe out his assault squad and brace for the assault termies next turn.


In the only other assault, Mephiston wipes out my tomb blade.


Blood Angels 3
Once again, I use my 2nd Solar Pulse.


BA movement. Mephiston goes after my left immortals.


My opponent wasn't falling for my wraith bait. Instead, his terminators go after the destroyers. Uh....there goes another expensive unit.


Why assault the wraiths with hamminators when the vindicator can do the same job with much less risk? Vindicator shoots and kills 3 wraiths!!!

Predator actually puts 1W on my Overlord.


Other shooting kills 1 immortal from Zandrekh's unit.


BA shooting (not Mephiston, whose plasma pistol gets hot!) takes down another 2 immortals here.

So far, I have not made a single Reanimations Protocol save.


Scrap metal time!


Terminators consolidate towards my forces after wiping out the destroyers.


Mephiston assaults....


....and wipes out everyone. Both crypteks fail to get back up.


So, after 2.5 turns, I've lost my tomb blades, 1 unit of immortals + crypteks and my destroyers. My wraiths are down to just 1 wraith left, and he's basically got me pinned in my own deployment zone. Can I fight back?


Necrons 3

Time to get the heck out of Dodge. Obyron uses his Ghost Mantle to teleport near the BA objective. I scatter away and almost off the board.


Necrons shuffle around uncomfortably.


Overlord goes over to try to delay his hamminators.


Lone wraith makes a heroic last stand.


2 lances only manage to put 1W on Mephiston.

That is the only shooting of worth. Obyron's crypteks fail to do any damage to the rear of the razor near his objective.


Then it's off to assault.


Mindshackle goes off, but the model that I kill is the mindshackled model (I gave him advice to remove that model). I fail to kill his sanguinary priest and he draws combat by putting 1W on my Overlord.


Wraith assaults a vindicator (all those vehicles moved at cruising). Naturally, I fail to do anything to it.


Blood Angels 4

Razor doubles back towards his objective and Obyron's unit.


Mephiston, vindicator and assault squad goes in for the kill.


What my wraith failed to do, terrain does it for me when it immobilizes his vindicator.


I then catch another break as another BA vehicle, a las/plas razor, also immobilizes itself on terrain while going back to defend his objective. The guys inside disembark.


His immobilized razor insta-kills my last wraith with its lascannon.


The other las/plas razor puts 1W on Obyron and knocks down 1 immortal, who fails to get back up.


Focus-fire again knocks down a few necrons from Zandrekh's unit. Mephiston's pistol once again Get's Hot!


I then deny Mephiston the pleasure of killing them in assault by running Zandrekh's unit off the board (rolled 11 for morale from shooting)!

Ha, ha....I will deny you your MVP, Mephy-baby.


Finally, in assault, hamminators knock down my Overlord.


Thanks to the Res Orb, my very first model to get back up and it is an important one!


So now, the only thing I have left is 2 units of immortals with crypteks, Obryon and the Overlord. My opponent's still has basically his whole army intact. Ok, now my goal has changed from winning this game to just surviving it.


Necrons 4

Necron movement. If my immortals are going to die, they're going to die trying to shoot down Mephiston. Overlord is going after him as well.


Obyron's unit goes after the razor.


Shooting takes off another 2W from Mephiston. I then learn, to my chagrin, that Mephiston originally has 5W!!!


Lances blow up the razor. 2 marines die in the explosion.


I then assault them....


....but can't finish them off! Powerfist sergeant survives!

Why is my turn so short?!?


Blood Angels 5

Assault squad goes after Obyron's unit.


Hamminators and predator advances towards my troops.


LRC goes back to contest.


Finally, Mephiston and vindicator advances as well, forming a wall to protect his assault squad from assault. BTW, his assault squad goes to claim my objective.


Their ride then moves back towards his objective.


2 vindies only manage to knock down 2 immortals thanks to cover. Mephiston's defective pistol Gets Hot! for the 3rd straight time, and the predator fails to kill off my Overlord.


Assault squad has to run to make sure they are within range of his objective in case the game ends.


Finally, 1 immortal gets back up. I think this is the very first troop to get back up....


....not that it's really going to matter. Mephiston assaults them....


....and sweeps them, consolidating away.


1 cryptek gets back up!!! I'm on a roll, baby!


Necrons 5

Overview of the bottom of Turn 5.

He's got my objective and his is contested.


If I can somehow get rid of his LRC and the game ends this turn, I can pull off a most unlikely draw.

Overlord moves towards Mephiston.


In shooting, I do the near impossible. I manage to immobilize his LRC with a S8 lance that can only glance!!! I roll to hit, then to glance and then on the damage chart! I have a chance!!!

In shooting, my solitary lance-tek puts another 1W on Mephiston. He is down to just 1W remaining.


I then assault, hitting it automatically with my Overlord's 4 S7+2D6 warscythe.


We interrupt this battle for some breaking news....the main event. Mephiston casts both Preferred Enemy and S10 force weapons. Fortunately for me, I pass my Transfixing Gaze leadership. Fortunately for him, Mephiston passes his Mindshackle leadership.


He then punks my HQ....


....who then just picks himself back up. Who's your daddy now?!?


And now, back to the battle that really matters.

I only pen his LRC once and shake it!


I need for the game to continue to have a chance. We roll the and the game continues! Woohoo!!!


Blood Angels 6

Overview of the top of Turn 6. He has my objective and his objective is contested.


Assault squad goes to contest. Razor also moves towards his objective.


BA movement. His troops will try to shoot down my cryptek and Mephiston once again is going to fight my Overlord.


Terminators run but are still 1 turn away from doing anything.

Shooting fails to drop my cryptek. Mephiston throws away his plasma pistol, fed up with it not working 4 times in a row.


Assault squad piles into my immortals.


I kill off 2 assault marines and he 2 immortals for a tie combat.


Mephiston once again assaults my Overlord.


And once again, he passes Mindshackles and insta-gibs my Overlord.

And once again to my opponent's horror, my Overlord gets back up!!! But this time, I get back up to the other side of Mephiston because he only consolidated 1".


Necrons 6

My Overlord then moves to contest my objective.


Lance-tek finally shoots down Mephiston.


I am not quite able to wipe out his assault marines nor he my immortals.


--------------------------------------------------------------



Right now, I'm contesting my objective.


And we're both contesting his objective.

We roll to see if the game continues and the result is a .



Aftermath of the battle.



Draw!!!

wtf bro, just show the ending

wow nicely painted blood angels. Are you still using saberX's dice Jy2?

I would say the BA player has this in the bag. A pretty rough match-up here with him getting first turn and pushing forward into your deployment zone so quickly. With the Destroyers out of the way and a lot of AV still intact I foresee a very rough game for you jy2.

And for Helvost...Obviously you don't realize how much effort putting batreps up like this takes. Uploading the pics takes time, as does then linking them to the site and writing the actual report. Instead of getting upset because you had to wait for the ending, how about a little respect for the dude who put in the time and effort so others (like yourself) can read it.

Using Mephiston to take out your periphiel units was genius. It boxed you in to one spot and prevented his army from having to spread out to contend with necron units in different directions.

It's still a dice game, but so far the BA player has played smart.

I think the Necrons are running on empty. He definitely caught you by surprise assaulting the Tomb Blades instead of trying to pile into your lines, well done avoiding the potential doom of MSS and pinning both your flanks with rock hard units (Terminators and Mephiston).

I think this one is the Necrons (barring some ridiculously bad Terminator save luck)

Battle report updated.

Patience, bro. Good things come to those who wait.

sudojoe wrote:wow nicely painted blood angels. Are you still using saberX's dice Jy2?

No, they (the dice) are my own. Originally, I wasn't planning on doing a batrep for this game, but then my opponent brought such a nice army that I couldn't resist.

Yeah, I definitely felt that I was the underdog here. Originally, I asked him if he wanted to play against a competitive list or a casual one. He said he was just a casual player so I took my experimental list. Then when he took out his army, I was like, "Oh ship....."

It really is all about the matchups sometimes.

Yeah, it was a great move on his part. I was expecting Mephiston to sink his teeth right into the heart of my army, but he decided to cut off my limbs first before going in for the kill.

He definitely played it well, and a few iffy moves, I actually gave him some advice (LRC going back to contest, vindicator and Mephiston forming a wall to protect his troops, removing the mindshackled hamminator before he attacks his own unit).

You mean this one is BA, right?

This is exactly what my thoughts were

Nice report Jy (as ever); good to see not everything going your way too.

3rd time in a row I've got it right!! To be fair, it's been C&C twice, so a draw's the likely option...
Minus the Razorbacks and Predator, I quite like that BA list (I'm a big fan of the 2 Vindicator & Land Raider combo) and he played very well IMHO.
Surprised you managed to pull off the draw man! Lucky break with that Overlord, eh?

Great report again, lovely armies and table too.

Very well played on your part Jy2, I think your opponent got a little overconfident at the end of the game and did not do what he could have to keep you away from the objective.

I had a draw like this in a game in december, Ard boys mission with table quarters, I have 6 Daemonettes left and he had about 2000 points of Dark Eldar.

After the first couple disastrous turns, I didn't expect you would manage to get a draw. Your experimental Nemesor Zandrehk and Vargaard Obyron list was interesting. Res-Orb Overlord proved useful, especially towards the end after getting back up and contesting the objective. Despite Mephiston going down, he definitely did a big number on your Necrons. I don't think your previous MTO Necron list would have struggled as much. If you played them, this game would have definitely been lopsided.

Good battle report, and thanks for sharing!

Your necrons are truly immortal. Period.

I guess this thread is as good as any to show off my WIP tomb blades.



This is my Work-in-Progress tomb blades. I'll probably be using them in my next battle.


Here's a closer look at my almost-finished tomb blade. I still need to work on his bike, but this is how they're more-or-less going to look like.

If he did, I would have adapted. Obyron teleports into battle and gets killed. He has to kill Obyron or else Obyron would have killed him. I would have also droppped my 2 crypteks as early casualties. Then even if he were to sweep the unit, Obyron would have a 1/3 chance to get back up. If by chance he did, I would have teleported out of assault on my turn.

I know that's a lot of "if's", but it wouldn't have been the end of my world had Zandrekh's unit got assaulted my Mephiston IMO.

Thanks. I'm finding footcrons to be a tough build to play. While they can do alright, they are more matchup-prone and have some severe limitations against certain builds.

I like his mech-BA list as well, though I tend to play an all-infantry BA army much like SabrX's, only I use 3 squads of 12 missile devastators in my list.

Not only did I pull off the draw, but I think I actually had a decent chance to win if only I could have wrecked his immobilized LRC. Of course that would include several factors going my way, which it largely did near the end.

Yeah, a more strategic player would probably have protected their objectives better.

Then again, he wasn't really familiar with the new necrons, especially with Obyron's ability to teleport even though I told him about it. I guess sometimes you listen, but you to fail to process the data until you experience it for the very first time.

Obyron did alright, but I'm not really "feeling" Zandrehk. In both games with him so far, he hasn't performed up to my expectations. I've loving Obryon's Ghost Mantle ability though.

My Res Orb Overlord was a monster this game. He single-handedly gave me the draw this game. I would have definitely given him the MVP this game. Mephiston was a monster as well. He definitely deserved to be the MVP for my opponent.

I also think that my MTO crons would have done much better. It's definitely a much stronger build than my footcrons despite its lack of shooting. That army actually excels at taking out mech armies such as this.

Those T-blades are nice, I think I would just add some sort of spine to the back with some small thrusters.

Now you just have to get a chance to use them before they get hit with overkill lol. That's what, twice in a row now they have been targeted heavily for some reason haha.

I thought you couldn't shoot the vehicle and then assault its contents, or is that shooting I'mm thinking of?

You can only assault the contents of a vehicle you shot at provided that unit also destroyed the vehicle.

wow nice ending. I didn't see that one comming at all. Thought you were toast after the tomb blades went down and the termies wiped the destroyers. (although I still voted draw in the beginning before the first moves) so I guessed correctly too!

I voted draw lol, was expecting something abnormal to happen like every other battle report you done.

One person always have extreme luck at somepoint just changes the whole battle LOL.

Anyway, good win, and great tactics.

can you elaborate on the WBB rules for overload...he can get up after ID? and how many times can he get back up?

Nice BR with a surprise ending!

Beautiful Blood Angels army. You played it very well for the come back from behind for the draw. Well played.

mannn, that overlord was some straight up bull.

Yeah, both times my opponents were so concerned about them that they took out my tomb blades early before I really got a chance to use them.

There will be a next time for them. Not sure if I can say the same for Zandrekh and Obyron.

Imperial Monkey wrote:I thought you couldn't shoot the vehicle and then assault its contents, or is that shooting I'mm thinking of?

You can assault the unit if you wreck the transport they were in with your shooting previously (as long as you can legally assault after shooting their transport). I believe this was clarified in the BRB FAQ.

sudojoe wrote:wow nice ending. I didn't see that one comming at all. Thought you were toast after the tomb blades went down and the termies wiped the destroyers. (although I still voted draw in the beginning before the first moves) so I guessed correctly too!

A few favorable dice near the end (i.e. Overlord kept on getting back up) gave me a fighting chance. My only regret is that I didn't kill Mephiston with Mindshackles.

My dice was abnormally bad in the beginning as I couldn't shoot down any tanks after the very first razor. It then redeemed itself near the end. But you're right. This game was a little more abnormal than the others in that I should've lost but didn't.

Gotta love the Res Orb for a coin toss chance to keep on fighting the good fight.

Mafty wrote:can you elaborate on the WBB rules for overload...he can get up after ID? and how many times can he get back up?

Yeah, in the new RP/EL (Reanimation Protocols/Ever-living) rules, it doesn't matter anymore whether you get ID'd or not. As long as you are removed as a casualty, you can always get back up with a 1/3 chance (1/2 if you are in a unit with a Res Orb). It is only if you are removed from play (i.e. Sweeping Advance, failed Death or Glory, Jaws of the World Wolf, etc.) that you can't use RP/EL.
