Is there any ability the Necron Lord has that makes you take an LD and if you fail it, means you only hit on 6's, no bonush from charge, and have a -1 LD?

This was used against me, and I'm not familiar with Necrons.

Closest thing i Can think of Is Gaze Of Flame, not sure what the Exact Effects are though

Flayed ones can make you do it, and if the Lord is attached with Gaze of Flame you are at -1 on the test.

Dont believe it affects hitting the Lord, just the Flayed Ones though.

Sounds like something my buddy has used against me...but the codex could tell you for sure.

Yes, the Necron Lord can get a upgrade called "Gaze of Flame" it does everything you mentioned except make you take a Leadship Test and if you fail you hit on a 6. THATS only with Flayed ones.

I thought Gaze of Flame prevented you from getting charge bonuses?

I figured out what happened.

He had his Lord with a squad of Flayed Ones.

I failed the LD against the Flayed Ones, however, he told me, everyone hits on 6 on the Lord and Ones.

When I could've just hit the Lord in CC since he's an IC with all my attacks being WS-5 with my Nobz.

So yeah, I got slightly cheated out of that.

Well, not all of your attacks, some of your nobz would have been in base with the flayed ones and would have had to hit them.

The point was I would've had a batter chance of killing the Lord.

Also, I always do my best to hug a IC, in case I need to kill it.

Excpet you normally dont have a choice, as you MUST base a mode that isnt already in base contact when you charge or pile in.

We don't know how many flayed ones were present so yeah it could have made quite a difference. At least next time the OP will know better.

If in doubt, ask to see the codex. To be fair that one has confused people in the past, so it could easily have been a genuine mistake.

I actually faced that combo this last weekend (tournament, did terribly, sigh) so took the oppurtunity to hit the lord as much as I could!

Was that the one at Stirling by any chance Nos?

How'd you do?

Nope, Reading.

Terribly. One game had, in a row, 6 2+ to wound, no cover save, remove Necron heavy . normal destroyers off the board please shots roll a 1.

Needless to say i lost that one....
