unit type: Monstrous Creature

special rules:We Will be back (like normal necrons but it will come back with only D3 wound) Fearless, Collosal Charge (+2I when charging)

I was thinking of using a tomb king sphinxs to represent this. The Gauss cannon represents the tail.

C&C

S9 and T7 is a bit much...
Especially given that it has monstorus creature.
Why does it seem to have Tyranid biomorphs?
The charge thing is good but maybe rename it... sounds a bit odd.
I vaguely remember what Lightning Field and Gaze of Flame do. Won't they be a touch over-powered given the size of the Tomb Kings Sphinx?
Give it LD10 like the rest of the Necron army.
Everything else is good.

**Brennian**

ok thanks I edit some things

**Bloodhorror**

Give it a 3+ and we'll be looking at it being decent.

Or no Invunerable save?

And PLEASE Rename the Talons and Claws...
There in the Nid Dex, and the Claws make him Initative one :L

**King Pariah**

Still need to bump it up to LD10.

**Brennian**

ok thanks

Instead of the scything talons I used the warscythe weapon from the necron codex. c&c

**CoI**

Won't WBB be kind of pointless unless you field lots of these things together? you need to have another of the same type of unit within 6'. Or do they get fielded in squads?

**Bloodhorror**

Give it the Necron Lords We'll be Back version.

And Perhaps, if he succededs, make him return with D3 wounds?

**Brennian**

That was what I was thinking and the D3 sounds very good.
Thanks for the comments.
c&c please

Also, 6-8 attacks on the charge seems to be taking the cake a bit...

Admittedly, it can be taken down by Force Weapons and anything with power weapons that isn't intiative 3 or lower.

Still, if he's getting up to 8 attacks on the charge that ignore all saves... Hitting mostly on 4's and wounding on 2's most of the time...

You'll be able to charge anything and if you survive, take it out post haste.

Hell, even fateweaver would be dead from this boy!

**Monster Rain**

Surely you can think of a better weapon name than "enormous feet"?

**Bloodhorror**

Necronian Rage

What would it be if I leave the warscythes? would it be less overpowered? or do I have to lower the attacks?
and Necronian rage sounds epic

**Bloodhorror**

Take away the Warsychtes.

Give him...

Necron Talons-
Allows the Necron Warsphinx to reroll misses to hit in combat.

**Brennian**

ok sounds fine to me thanks
