I see you play destroyer spam army but this needs some things to change:

-Lord is propably going to veil immortals to somewhere and so with lord is going resorb so you will have problems with keeping destroyers alive.
-heavy destros are too vunereable, aspecially in 2 size squad so you have to figure that out
-you have noting to cover your warriors from assault units so you need something like pariahs or tomb spyders to do that

Those are little things but they can cost you a game.

pariahs die. i have never used my 10 pariahs except in apoc. i have just used this list against horde orks. warriors in reserve. crushed him.

Well horde orks are nice, but they aren't the only army you will be facing unless you live in Orktown, the capital of Orkland.

Then again I do like this list alot. You have a ridiculous amount of destroyers which I find to be one of the best Necron units. A good range of mobility with the monolith.

To be honest, the only thing I would change is a couple destroyers for more heavy destroyers. Tank spammer lists will be tough, even with the gauss weapons' special rule

Thats a good idea, here's my changed list.

in my necrons i always use pariahs. most of the time i will fill up my elites slots with them. so more than 20 most of the time.

if your using 20 pariahs then your not playing necrons right.

my warriors are in reserve to preserve phase out.

20 pariah's? 0_o
I agree with woodbok on this, there is something wrong.

They are highly expensive (points and money wise) and have no real use.
Due to not having the necron rules, they are slow, cant be veiled and dont have WBB.
Pure gak IMO.

Drop the heavy D's, they are pure junk.
Drop the immortals, again, they really dont do anything important.
Grab a monolith with the points saves so you have 3 of them.

If you want a CC unit to protect you lith's, either run a unit of flayed ones, or run a Dlord with scythe and wraith's with him.

ok, took out the h.destroyers.

I dont care what you think of me, calling me an idiot is wrong, [MOD EDIT: Please refrain from using that word in that way here on Dakka - thanks!]

There's no need to swear

Swearing is also wrong, and the mods are pretty hot on it.




Wood - Best bet mate is to stick to 1 thing with crons.
Either play castle, Dspam or wraithwing.

Castle - Simple enough, 3 mono's are the core of your army, just fill in as needed.
Make sure you have an anti-threat unit with them though to prevent anything you dont want being there (warboss klaw and the likes)

Dspam - Speaks for its self really.
Run maxed out units of normal D's.
throw in lords if needed for extra impact.

Wraithwing - Im not really the expert at this, ive got what i could from Dashofpepper since he runs it.
Simply lords with wraiths as your main attacking force.
Min warriors held in reserve and kept back behind lith cover.





Pariah's as they stand are hindered by 2 things.
1: No necron rule makes them pretty easy to kill and hard to mmove them about quickly.

2: They are a mixed shoot and assault unit.
Thier shooting is pretty good.
Thier assault is pure evil, or it would be if they lived long enough to hit anything back.
Poor initiative and attacks hold them back.

With just the necron rules added alone they would be pretty solid IMO.
Even more so with the GK bandwagon starting.

Thanks jackel, good comment! But this 'chaosdude123' has sent me a private message telling me to feth off, which im not happy about

Just report it to the mods.
If he feels the need to insult people as a way of getting his point to people, does it really deserve an answer?




Long story shots, dont mix tactics with crons.
Just pick a style and run with it.
Im currently giving the wraithwing a go now.
Makes a change to play aggressively rather than sitting back.

Rubbish

will you please stop interfering with my thread

Seems like a good candidate for the "ignore" button.

Its annoying, i was getting some good advice on this thread

I'd put the immortals back in, honestly. They bone enemies hard with their weapons, and AP4 is useful a lot more often than you'd expect, as well as their T5. 10 Immortals go a long way.

This seems like a good thread apart from the rude messages.

Please do not post rude messages into threads.

good idea, but i think ill drop both monolith's and go full on destroyer spam. Here, see what you think of this list:

HQ
lord,destroyer body, resorb, phaseshifter, warscythe
TROOPS
10 warriors
10 Warriors
FAST ATTACK
5 destroyers
5 destroyers

HEAVY SUPPORT
2 heavy destroyers

Personally, I think you're running too low on troops units now. I would look at trying to squeeze the warrior squad back in at the expense of some heavy destroyers. I love the normal destroyer spam. They should cause a lot of headaches in matches.

Running 3 units of heavy destroyers is a useful tactic - keep them close to each other and they will continually regenerate.

Oh, FYI you are restricted to ONE unit of Pariahs. It's 0-1 in the codex.

Your warrior counts depends a lot on your Monolith count, your meta, and your skills at keeping them alive and your opponent pinned down. The correct number is just enough to not phase and win objective missions. The problem is that number changes. If you can immobilize enemy transports and/or push the enemy back with Monoliths, 20 is fine.

What exactly are you planning on doing with those Heavy Ds? They need to be killing medium armor, multiwound T 4 models, or FNP units with a possible helping of general expensive models or stuff with a 2+ but a bad invun. If you don't see a lot of stuff you can't kill with Destroyers and Immortals, Immortals are a better option.

I've found Destroyers don't usually need rez orb help. S 10 isn't common, and if they get charged they're doomed anyway orb or no orb.

Thanks everyone, really good advice!
The heavy destroyers will be popping all vehicles in sight. Destroyers will pound either the units in side the vehicles or pulverise a unit on an objective. The destroyer lord will finish off what the destroyers started, or kill a tank. The warriors are in reserve, to capture my objectives.
Oh, and phaseout's not a problem. Ive got 42 necrons in this army, and 21 of them are toughness 5, and 1 is toughness 6. This army is going to be hard to kill. Ive got a game against nids in a few hours, i will post on here the result.
