I play necrons and have thought about taking the arrow but the one shot hit or miss has always lead me to think it was not worth the points to put the upgrade on my overlord.

This could however be useful against low toughness units with a lot of wounds or a low armor save?

Thoughts anyone?

I think it's rather overcosted for a 1 off weapon, the only time it could be useful is against some very hard MCs or as a tank buster. either way though, necrons have better weapons for the tasks so it's really quite unneeded.

true, true. I just figured i could have is small gleaming moments where it would have some use

It's too expensive for what it does. The 30 points can be spent much better elsewhere.

Well, you could use it, but as its a one off weapon you should target hi priority tanks or T5 MCs.
Also, take a chrono. You will need it to increase your chances.

All I can think of is Will Ferrel's awesome Tachyon Amplifier from Land of the Lost.

Having seen it in use on the tabletop, the only way I'd consider taking it is if the rules changed such that it was an instant hit/wound.

That's way too many points to tie up in a single shot weapon with a good probability of doing absolutely nothing.
