Monster Rain wanted to hear my Bat Rep from my game with Necrons at the SiS3. I didnt take any pics but I think I can remember the game, so here we go. I won first turn so I took the side with 3 pieces of terrain to put my lootas in. 15 man loota squad in building on left, 5 man loota next to them on ground behind small wall, and other 5 man loota in forest on right side of deployment. all 3 wagons between two loota squads on left and 1 on right behind ruin to block side shots. match was pitched and VP's.

Necrons deploy Monoliths right across from BW's with a tomb spider, 2X5 man destroyer squads, & deciver behind them, 5 man destroyers and tomb spider in ruin across from lone 5 man loota squad. 2x10 warriors in reserve.

Turn 1. I move forward 13 inches with all 3 wagons. 5 man loota on right has no LoS to tomb spider so I open up on 5 man destroyers across from them and drop 2 other loota squad in middle target them also and drop 1 more. 15 man drop 3 destroyers peaking out from behind monoliths. 5 man destroyer squad to right fails moral and runs off board.

Necrons. fails his 1 wbb roll. Liths move up to block movement of 2 BWs (the other one with nobs and ghaz went around ruin in middle the far way) 4 man destroyers dont move, tomb spider and 5 man destroyers move onto hill to open up on 15 man lootas tomb spider across from 5 man lootas moves forward and spawns scarabs (other tomb spider makes scarabs also). Destroyers Imobilize the Nob wagon and kill 4 lootas from the 15 (not enough to take a test).

Turn 2 I tank shock both Liths with the 2 BW's and he rolls a 1 and a 2 for dodge. they both explode. Nobs and Ghaz stay in wagon (in shooting I fail to fix wagon). 11 man loota and 5 man loota next to them kill scarab on tomb spider other five man loota on other side kill other scarab. a deffkopter came in this turn and assulted the destroyers and killed one.

Necrons. tomb spider makes his slow crawl twards 5 man loota on right (keeps spawning scarabs, for the rest of game lootas shoot at tomb spider until he gets to them and kills squad) other tomb spider joins combat with destroyers and wins) destroyer fire kills a couple of lootas but no one runs and a BW full of boys who camp on the bonus objective. both his warriors came in this turn. one in ruin the 5 destroyers that ran were in on far corner other came in by tomb spider that just killed defkopter.

Turn 3. last working BW goes 13 and dumps boys between last two destoryer squads, last deffkopta come in by warriors on left. nobs and gahz get out seperate from each other and both run twards warriors on right. boys assault and kill destryers that are left. all lootas that can shoot at slow moveing spider on right. deffkopta assults warriors and kils a 2 but they stick in.

Necrons, hidden warriors run for corner but get 1 in terrain, spider joins deffkopta assult and wiffs but warriors finish him off. Deciever attacks nobs but only kills 1 then hits and run (mission special ability). I called my Wagghhh so to be fearless and get my automatic 6 inch run in my turn. slow moving tomb spider on far right side catches and kills the 5 man loota squad.

Turn 4. boys surround warriors and tomb spider, nobs and gahz both run twards warriors in corner, last BW has KFF beg Mek with PK and heads twards warriors in corner.boyz kill some
of warriors while Ghaz and big mek catch warriors in corner and wipe them wich leaves less the 8 necrons left which leads to phase out.

Hope its not too hard to understand from memory without pics.

Yeah, when both of my road cones went down on turn 2 I knew I was doomed. Those battle wagons were just so angry. I had a good time playing against Grimgob, despite the fact that he made my Necrons put on dresses and swish around for him. I felt a bit of a moral victory when that tomb spyder finally made it to those lootas. Thankfully that was the only game of the weekend that I got phased out but it certainly was a beat down. I was happy that I actually made it to turn 4 hehe. Anyways, good game Grimgob, was happy that you ended up near the top of the heap. I always feel a little better when the person that smashes me does well for the rest of the tourney.

See ya at the next one.

4/15 is 26 percent, more than enough to cause a leadership test.

I stopped reading after i saw that.

Are you aware that squads of 11+ Orks are fearless?

That is correct there were 11 lootas left which means they were fearless at that point, which is why I did not take a Ld test. It was also a fair bit o luck blowing up the liths (I really wasnt expecting that) as I was just planning on boarding planking them because that 3+ skimmer dodge is hard to get past.

My bad. I apologize. I had an off moment. I finished reading the report, congrats to the orks.

Thanks for that, Grimgob!

Well played! As a Necron player myself, failing that skimmer dodge against a Deff Rolla is a mighty sad moment.
