First game fighting Daemons , Michh hat explained a lot of rules for me ,thx dude.

So the armylists (1250pts)
Necron
Lord with orb and veil of darkness
2 X 12 Warriors
6 Swarm bases
6 Destroyers
1 Monolith

His list (don’t have the codex yet just from my memory)
Bloodthirster
Herald of Tzeentch
Herald of Slaanesh
1 DP with lash (KoS model)
1 unit of 10 Daemonettes
1 unit of 10 Horrors
2 units of Flamer (one has 3,the other has 4 models)

I won both rolls for deciding table edge and who go first , in this gamma level cleanse game I let
Him go first after deployment, which I put all of my army on the center of my table edge.

Beginning of the turn 1


The first wave of daemon in turn1 were BT ,HoT ,1unit of Flamer(4models) and Horrors ,all of them
made it there without too much scatter. Flamer opened fire and immobilized Monolith ,also Horrors
and HoT took down couple Warriors. My return fire was not so effective: Monolith only killed one of
those Flamers(which made me pay a lot later),Destroyers dropped one wound off the BT ,and
Warriors gunned down some Horrors.

Turn2 only one Flamer unit came into play ,and then struck down 2 Swarm bases and 6 Warriors !
(three came back later) The other Flamer unit jumped right front of the crowded , did an amazing
job by blowing down 4 Warriors(two came back later)and a whole squad of Destroyers(no one can
come back)

Flamer jumped into hunt


My turn by using teleport of the Monolith I managed bring five warriors back and opened fire on
those Flamers ,killed the left group and assaulted the right group with Swarms (damn I should
do that at the first turn),the Swarms have their job done and consolidated into HoT.



Turn3 all of his rest army came in .



The Daemonettes just didn’t have the luck ,scattered right onto Monolith ,his DP used lash and
pulled my Warrior squad towards to his BT with a good 6”of a D6 roll, the BT charged in and
killed 5 Warriors instantly ,but however thanked to him didn’t notice that one step further he
could move this warrior unit out of the Orb range!

Ye baby half inch forward and you could kill them all!


And I got three warriors back in my turn. Otherwise the other two survived warriors just break
and run out of table in the following turns. In my turn I concentrated all fire power and took
down the BT (thx to the dice god)

The end of turn 3, BT was down


Turn4 The DP and HoS had some bad rolls of DTT ,slowly moved to the enemy. Horrors were
much more lucky by taking down two Destroyers(one back later) . My turn two remaining
Destroyers move forward and killed two Horrors , the Lord teleported warriors always from
the bad guys.

Next to home’s door


Turn5 Not much for him to do , and his HoT got finished by swarms . In my turn Destroyer
destroyed the HoS.

Turn6 Nothing happened

The end ,solid victory for crons

Some after thought , flamer are surely excellent unit in this codex ,should be gunned down
or assaulted asap, also Horrors can do some damages but extremely weak in CC ,same
with Herald of Tzeentch. In this fight the main problem with daemons is DS scatter ,if the
Daemonettes unit didn’t destroyed by kissing my Monolith ,there will be another story.

thank you so much for the battle report, complete with pictures...

your necrons look wonderful.

Aren't flamers just massively destructive? I love my flamers

yes,I didnt read his codex carefully and thought that's just one template per unit only ,lol wont be a fool again :S

Great looking army and terrain! I really like the monolith. How long did this game take, hours and minutes wise? It seems like the new codex plays pretty fast. I would be interested to see how that held against necrons, which sometime take longer to play.

Hours ,because we are both new to the rules. but if we get use to it ,could be one hour or so.

Did the flamer get the mono with the bolt of change? Thats a pretty lucky shot if so.

I think he used the template ,which is glancing hit on a 4+ ,is that right?

Interesting if correct. I had not envisioned its usage in that manner before. I don't have an easy asnwer for Monoliths and LRs-especially monoliths-and V5 rumors aggravate that.

Thanks ED209.

I thought it was auto-glance, but honestly haven't read my new codex very much :S ... though I have read enough to be sad I sold my 6 NIB flamers off!

Thanks for the report, love the pics and nice Necrons, as well as the demons that are painted. I don't love the demon list, a bit all over the place and I don't like more than 1-2 gods per list, but ah well.

- Salvage

And thank you all for watching, I will get my English codex next week and find out the turth

Nice report, it make me more confident that my list of necrons will be able to stand up to Deamons.

Also good luck with that LS move, could have been nasty if they were out of Resurection orb range.

Nice well painted models and pictures aswell

Ditto nice report.

Great pics, your Monolith looks great, but I reckon you should have given your NL a Warscythe, then he could have done some serious damage to the BT and the Heralds.

Wind of Chaos/Breath of Chaos (whichever the Demon one is called) inflicts a glancing hit on a vehicle on a 4+.

Could be usefull ,but also risky , 3 S5 attacks on a T6 creature means 1 wound off the BT ,and if he survived then directs attacks on the lord ,he will have a good chance finish him , which is not a fair trade IMO.
