Ok, I know what you're thinking. How can I even think about beating this? I mean, before the game even starts I'm wondering if I should reserve against LANGUAGE FAILURE, or throw everything onto the field and bunch it up to protect me from the assaulty relentless robot bodies that threaten to weigh me down!

HOW DO THE NECRON EVEN HAVE A LIST LIKE THIS - You're asking yourself!

It's simple, you shoot at 5-6" and assault, or you shoot at 11-12" and declare yourself assault proof, and then keep rapid firing if they don't assault you.

Meanwhile nightfighting runs amok with free lightning hits, and 4 twinlinked tesla apocalypses shred everything.

I mean seriously, you're kicking yourself for not winning every tourney right now with this list. Lucky for you I'm selling my time traveling device, sadly it only works from 3/25/2012 to 3/25/41001. Go figure :/.

I hope you are trolling...

You HOPE? This is the best list ever. You can't stop it, just try.

Mech? Warscythes and Haywire. Oh, and Gauss. Necron laugh at AV.

Swarmy? Rapid fire, tesla, and stormlord thundah!

Reservists? Invade deployment zone and set up shop

CC? MSS

Dedicated CC/MC? Labyrinths

Shooty? Rez Orbs.


Basically you've got amazing mobility, with the best 12" army in the game, which also can hold its own in CC, and in most cases excel at CC. And you've got night fighting till turn 3 (at least), not to mention 60 troops on the field that can all 'get back up.'

Vindicators. How dose it far vs multiple demolisher cannons?

Erm, i sit back and template it.
Why go near it?
And its far from a perfect list as there is no such thing.

If that was the case, i can assure you this wouldnt be the 1st time it was posted as it doesent take long for people to start building on a base structure of a solid list.

You do realise crons cant fight in CC right? or survive being smashed by pie plates?

Theres allways a way to beat an army.




So, what if someone runs tremmor crons against you?

Oh, if you opponent brought Hydras, those Nightscythes will turn into NightScrapmetal faster than you can say "AA gun".

Sit back and pound on a LANGUAGE FAILURE list? 36" is your range, even with lights, and necrons CAN fight in CC. Necron lords are some of the most devastating melee units in the game.

And depending on ordinance and blast templates is about as foolish as you can get. They're good if you have a few to mix things up, but when you bring them to the exclusion of others it's just... sad.

Lets say you do bring a heavy blast list, with heavy mech, and keep it back and hidden behind a wall of troops or something similar.

... What is to stop me from just letting lightning soften you? If you try to expand your troops and spread out, night fighting will blind your heavy mech, and allow me to pick off stragglers.

My troops aren't going to be sitting out, spotlighted, while you bombard them doing nothing, especially with night scythe transports. And if you bunch your men to keep everyone in range of each other then 4x arc will eventually wreck you.

Honestly, more dangerous than templates would be legitimate ork boyz armies that just flood you with hits. But that's the kind of army that I never really see, and even then lightning and tesla does alot to thin ranks in heavy-list armies.

somebody lost to necrons recently rofl

I play necrons >.>. I like lords so I wanted to make a list using them? They've always done very well for me, even against, and especially against, dedicated CC.

If you can't stand somebody having some fun then... well, man, i dunno about you.

Cool, except my tanks are 155 a pop. Plenty of points left. And if you are expecting a 1/6 chance shot to kill all my tanks in one turn, then I have bad news for you...

just a thought, if you used that list and had oh say 110 points to through in, put those into 2 harbringers of despair both with veil of darkness, then jump straight too the enemies tanks on your first turn with your royal court, imagine you hit both deepstrikes on target ur opponent is gonna have to either waist fire at your tanks or try to get rid of rc asap cause on ur turn 2 royal courts will atleast slaughter 2 tanks with ur lords equipped with ws

I presume you're talking about Necron Warriors, who have rapid fire guns and cannot assault if they fire. You have a single Phaeron, so that's only a single unit with relentless, who can assault.

Assault proof? Did you forget that the opponent can move too if you're shooting 12" away? Like anyone is going to let you get close enough to rapid fire and not assault in return.

and 4 twinlinked tesla apocalypses shred everything.

Apart from av14...and those shots are coming from four av11 vehicles which have 24" range, the average night fighting distance is 21" and you've got the opponent's movement distance on top of that too.

then I realised this is a troll post. Kill two models on the charge or one when charged, yeah devastating.

Do you really play 40k?

so when I turn up with a GK libby with warp rift (flamer template of I tests) attached to a paladin death star with 3 psyfleman dreads.....what do you do?

I pass my Canoptek Wraith initiative tests against warp rift the other day. I was just as surprised as the G.K player . On a more serious note, it would seriously feth over Warriors.

nice but I dont see any wraiths in this list

Indeed, Eagle Eye, there's no Canoptek Wraiths in this list. I was just merely making conversation, it's what us mere mortals do

Wow this list is Da BomB!

I am selling all my other armies and buying Necrons now!

What is this I don't even...

Seriously mate, any army with autocannons and spotlights can screw this army over!
Just...no.
