1 plain overlord
6x 5 warriors, each with a nightscythe
2x5 deathmarks each with a nightscythe
3 doomscythes

So, besides the 44 twin linked strength 7 ap nada shots, and the three lines of av14 doom, you have a list that starting at 12 inches, can seal off your enemies table edge if they are those pesky All Reservists.

Hes DSing too? Nothing walking in from the table edge? No worries, scatter your flyers over the board like they are fluff in the wind and minimize his DS choices.

Cons: Weak in spearhead deployment, try not to get em bunched up.

Love all the strength 7 shots and the speed of the army but do you mind explaining what in this army is AV14 doom?

Oh the 3 death rays which are str10 ap1 if it draws a line across an av14 its an auto hit...Of course, you STILL have to roll that 5 for a glance but so does everyone else

Ah the lovely death rays, dont forget 4 to glance, 5-6 penetrate and plus 1 on the damage table aswell, let us know if you have a battle report n post it here.

And it only costs $306 + tax and shipping.

3 boxes of Necron Warriors = $105

3 Doomscythes = $135

2 boxes of Immortals = $66

EDIT: I forgot the overlord for $20

You missed the 8 nightscythes that is also needed, take it that would be an extra $360 to add on top.

Thanks for the price info! For more ordering information visit geedubya dot com or something like that...Of course, if this were the home network shopping channel thread you guys would be posting in the right place!


lol. Trust me, there are going to be people fielding this list soon Some (clarification: Some(clarification:some)) of what this game is about is who has the most money first...If i have to wati awhile to buy the 11 DS/NS' (495) then so be it

Could this really work?

for al the S7 spam-you could get Annihilation Barrages

true, you COULD take up those heavy slots with anni barges. But that eliminates your very nice ability to drop str10 ap 1 shots (LANDRAIDER KILLERS)
For 90 points you can get 1 anni barge, which CAN NOT pen land raiders, has a threat range of about 30 inches, and av 13.

For 10 MORE points you can get a unit that shoots the same weapon, has a threat range of 36 inches, can generate its own cover, can carry up to 15 units and loses its av 13, making it an av 11.

Not to mention, if within 12 inches of a target unit you are GUARENTEED to hit that unit with a doom scythes death ray. And then shoot it with the DS' TL tesla destructor...which is also on a anni barge...

Id fill my heavy slot up any day with 1 doom scythe over 2 anni barges, if i could field 2 night scythes along with it.

Lemme rehash the Doom scythes goodie points: death ray: Choose a point within 12 inches, choose second point and roll 3d6. Lets say you angered the dice gods, and roll a 3, your minimum threat with the death ray is 15 inches! Couple that with the doom scythes maximum move and shoot range: 12 inches, thats 27 inches of str10 ap 1 threat you have right thar.

2 anni barges, 4 anni barges, 17 anni barges cannot pen a land raider. That means you should usually bring something that can stop it (destruction teks).



Anni barges are wonderful, and if i could take 8 of them I would. Oh wait, I virtually can (8 night scythes)

Just to further math it out, 3 anni barges can fire 12 shots all together, 4 apiece, at a maximum of 3 targets.

8 night scythes, and 3 doom scythes, can fire 44 shots...4 apiece, at a maximum of 11 targets...

If you are going to use so many AV11 vehicles, seriously consider solar pulses

Ya, I think you'd benefit from some night fighting, and turbo boosting CCBs tend to make for great blocking/target saturation for your doom scythes.

You know what also screen for your doom scythes? Night scythes. You can literally surround your doom scythe with night scythes and not hamper its weapon effectiveness in any way.

Also, if you are using this list, and do not have first turn, id recommend reserving everything but 1 night scythe. Put that nightscythe out as a sacrificial target to draw the enemies towards your side of the map.

Over the next few turns your DS and NS will come aboard and terrorize your enemy

True that is. I'd say a ccb benefits a little more from boosting toward enemies and feels safer doing it too. Of course this is somewhat dependent on the composition of the field in any given turn. Getting the cover save from having a barge in front can be tricksier though.

well, actually i dont really see how a cc barge would give cover to a doom scythe (sits twelve+ inches about the tabletop)
