There is no way necrons are op.They are the oldest codex out there.

Im laughing at this thought. How to make current Necrons seem ALOT harder to kill, remove Phase out, THEN I could see some people saying that.....maybe. But seriously, Phase out screws them so badly right now. It used to be there to keep them in balance, because when the codex was wrote, they were a really tough army to beat, now its pretty easy to beat them. Infact when I want a really tough challenge when playing 40k, I play my Necrons.


Seriously, your just playing against them wrong if you think they are that OP. As soon as you figure out how to go around the WBB rules, they are a joke

Necrons are one of the few armies that can get tabled on the first turn due to phase out... by space marine scouts no less...

This. However, I'm banking on the new rules making them OP'ed as hell. And I'm gonna be one of the first to ride that bandwagon all the way to the bank, baby.

Wow. One half of the thread is: ,,New Necrons will be overpowerd!" the other: ,,Current Necrons are totaly lame!"

Epic. Not.

Odds are they wont be, but people are gonna start whining anyway... (See SW, BA, GK and every new codex before them)

I dont even play the game and I know that necrons are far far far far far far from being op...

Seriously lads, play a game with a Necron player that is at least a decent player, and throw the Phase Out rules in the garbage. Youd be surprised at just how tough they still can be. And I dont think they will be over powered when released at all. I agree, every new codex gets that whine fest. Hell ORKS! had that when 5th first dropped. EVERYONE said they were sooooo OP and blah blah blah, whine and cheese, whine and cheese. But do they say that anymore? Nope. Orks dont suck by any stretch of the imagination, but the point still holds

So he thinks that with what looks like a new update for necrons is going to make them better because he thinks that there under powerd and in my opinion there already over powerd like were they keep on coming back after you kill them

So what do you guys think overpowerd or not?

Thread won.

Necrons broken.

Dreams shattered.

...You know, the original statement would have actually made sense if it were referring to Battlefleet Gothic.

Yup.

BFG Necrons are as good as their fluff says they are.

40K Necrons, ...not so much

trolling op be trolling...

but I love my crons to death *sniff sure am going to miss fething over invulnerable saves with the warscythe though...

Why do people get trolled so easily?
Or am I just cynical, and think every stupid person is a troll...

Or wait....does that make me optomistic?

WHAT! No warscythes in the next ed?!

They'll be there, but as +2 str 2h power weapons..

Can't be having those 2+3++ saves being ignored, can we

Game balance, my Aspis Corporation ...

I swear this was not trolling. My friend thinks he knows 5 Necron players who think there OP. I think I win thanks guys

Do Not Want.
The ability to cancel out Invul/Armor pretty much defined the Necron Capacity to kill anything that moves.

The only OP thing is maybe the monolith, but as a whole they need an update.

one word.....fail

I lol'ed

necrons are op?
What? I slaughtered an entire army of them using plasma guns, and that was just using my tactical squads.

Necrons may have the potential to be some-what GOOD if used correctly, but certainly not OVER-POWERED. Look at people like dashofpepper, he hasnt lost a game with his crons and if you read his bat reps, it makes perfect sense. He's a great general and as such will win a lot of games, even with a broken codex. I myself have actually only lost one game with my crons, it just takes a lot of careful planning, either that or everyone i've ever played is a complete noob. But you get my point.

Even without Phase Out, Necrons still lack a large amount of tools to deal with the current meta, in addition to everything being overcosted. They still rank in at the worst Codex with or without Phase out.


No issues though, hopefully Necrovember will be good to us.

Next we'll here that Tau are overpowered. Them Firewarriors are unbeatable in CC.

This title gave me a great laugh... really?!


Its like saying Black Templar Predators are OP... just more ridiculous.

Are you kidding me!? They're crazy OP! My grots can never beat them!

While annoying in how they never seem to die, overpowered they are not.

Necrons used to be hard. Even in 2nd ed with limited choices small point games, they were tough.
3rd ed codex made then a good army, when it came out. Now, 2 editions down the line and a 3rd on the horizon they are as aged as DE were. They are now not only outclassed by armies with updated special rules but they also have to compete with redone codexes where points have been reduced for many things.
Kudos to those who still play them, was planning an army next release but with DA and eldar rumoured, I shall save my cash
