I'm a bit disappointed with GW as the newer codices before Necrons were pretty well balanced among eachother. Like mentioned before, the Decurion does apply some serious restrictions aswell for what it gives though.

Will remain to be seen how it all pans out.

However, I was pretty sure there would be something top tier/bordering broken in the new Necron codex. Somehow I just had a hunch something like this would happen, and when I first learned of the Decurion I was certain it will allow for something nasty even when I hadn't actually seen the detailed information. Because well... it always happens once in 5 codices or so.

I don't really see how the Necron codex is that broken. If people are following Decurion, then they're not flyer spamming or wraith spamming, and if they not using it, then they don't have the benefits. They got some neat stuff, sure. But this is all probably new codex hype, with people not being able to deal with it right off the bat. Necrons are harder to kill, yeah, but otherwise not much has changed as far as their power level. You just have more options that what you use to in the codex.

Also, on a side note, I've seen Blood Angels are pretty obnoxious. Haven't seen a BA player at my store lose yet, so take that as you will....

lol as I've posted before. People wanna cry about broken till they get the broken item, then they wanna argue/pretend its not. happens every single time. I know it sounds like I'm being rude but if you honestly think this book is on the same level as the other 7th books I openly invite you to read deeply each book. Simple examples like Orks mob rule getting a nerf, RP getting a massive buff.

Name another 7th book that stands up against this codex? as a blood angels player who has a brother that plays Necrons and is my most common opponent I can personally tell you the two are not the same, a point to which he also agrees. About the only complainant someone could have about this book is Ctans having totally random attacks.

Played against a reclamation legion tonight with the basics and some scarabs, 1000pts. Managed to kill all of the scarabs and about a third of the stuff with RP using a combination of Tau fire power and Blood Angels aggression.

Ended up loosing 4-0 cause they had first blood and the relic.

Those things just don't die!!! At least before they died and got back up!

Maybe your brother is a better player than you and he's trying to soften the blow.
