And despite all of that, they are still a bottom tier army kurgash.
Since they dont negate or ignore many rules.

Also, keep in mind they lack real unit types.
They have no real CC killers or tank hunters.
(dont say heavy D's, they are a joke)

At their prime my good man, at their prime. *nods*

Yeah Necrons used to be the "oh sh@t!" race. Units got back up, Scarabs and Warriors blew up Land Raiders, Warscythes ignored all your saves, the C'tan tore things apart, the Monolith was indestructible. We lost our ability to troll :\

There's plenty of units that can scout and turbo boost.

True, but i plan on going head 1st into a unit or low armour 1st turn
So scout or not, it makes no difference to me.

You do know you can't assault after a turbo boost, right?

I know.
But it gets me as close to them as possible.
So they can either assault a unit with I6, or ignore it and have it assault them the next turn.

Granted its not the best of tactics, but against armies like tau it makes them panic.
More so when 2 units of scarabs and a scythelord follow them.

I would like to see wraiths get power weapons or gain rending it would make them the terminators of the necron army.

Holy crap....

Completely agree. When I FIRST started playing 40k they were just coming on the scene. When they got their first real codex they were tough. The guass rule was something to be scared of, because used to, a glance could blow up a vehicle. So having warriors/Immortals blast the hell out of your vehicles SUCKED. You just knew that from all that, one of them was going to be the lucky double 6 roll to smoke your stuff.


But here in 5th, you cant glance something to death (lets be realistic fellas, yea it COULD happen, but Ive yet to see it happen) so yea, Necrons really took it in the butt. I think a GREAT start to a new Necron dex would be to throw the phase out in the trash. Thats such a stupid rule anymore.

And they're still using that first real codex...


Remove Phase Out and i'm a happy little bot. Almost every match is lost to phase out, not to the game turns running out or being killed entire. Possibly put phase out as a unit thing, if it's not to be trashed. Roll morale at 75% casualties on the unit or phase out.

You can glance stuff to death, say a landraider, by parking 60 odd warriors 12'' away (barring miracles) but these days a single IC or baseline assault squad will take all three squads in successive turns, even if you discount the Raider's guns and cargo..

You know how necrons become better remove phase out make necron weapons more prowerful and give wraiths power weapons or rending.

well. yeah...

Since there are no nerfs in that list it will make necrons better

Necron guns aren't bad for power, but need better AP

Power-wraiths would be awesome, but to my mind unlikely (though i can dream)..

No phase out is the necron players wishlist mantra
