I already have a massive Necron Army (4000 points in the old dex), and my first new model was the Annihilation Barge/Command Barge Hybrid kit.

I have to say that this kit is pretty good value for money if built as an Annihilation Barge as you then get a Necron Overlord in the box. So basically an AI tank and a character for £20.50.

But in game, does it work as good as I think it does?

Lets look at it's main weapon...

Basically 2 twin linked autocannon minus the AP, at a 24" range. Not a bad gun, but a little lacking in the range department. Pretty good at taking out Rhinos and DE Raiders?

Now the rest of the tank...

It's main weakness is not it's armour (13 all round until it takes a penetrating hit, then it moves to 11), it's the Barge's lack of Speed.

So my question to you Necron playing Dakkanites is should I build the kit as the Annihilation Barge or as the Command Barge?
