Location : cloudspire peak, Amros II, Amros system.

Strike force delta of the blood angels has identified orbital strike elements of the insurgents. We are moving to intercept a hostile force securing a known airfield.

Strike force delta composed of two blood angels stormraven gunship and one Xenos Doomscythe designation vessel.

hostile force identified as being a grey knights stormraven gunship, a hostile Valkerie class flier and a Xenos Doomscythe designation vessel.

Moving to engage.

Strike force delta moves to intercept, secures objective with two stormraven class gunships. One sprays the hostile doomscythe with assault cannon fire, stripping a Hullpoint away. Another fires a plasma cannon shot into the valkerie. The Doomscythe initiates a deathray shot into the hostile Doomscythe, destroying it outright, the hostile doomsythe crashes and burns into the opposing stormraven, destroying it. The valkerie is shot down by bloodstrike missiles fired by the Stormraven class. It attempts to evade, but the bloodstrike missile slams into the superstructure, destroying it in a plume of fire. Game won by delta force.

Second mission:
Strike element delta recieves a strike from hostiles, We have incoming cannon fire, I repeat. we have incoming cannon fire. Deathray shot has hit our friendly Doomscythe, destroying it outright! Stormraven gunships are moving to evade, stripping the valkerie of two hullpoints and sending it from the battlefield with a stun. Enemy doomscythe is wrecked, thank the emperor. One stormraven has been hit, I repeat, stormraven sent to its grave by sustained fire from the enemy stormraven, Enemy valkerie has missed, thank the emperor. we are returning fire, enemy valkerie is down, but we are on two hull points. Enemy stormraven has closed to fire at point blank. Catastrophic misfire, stormraven has missed! both stormravens claim the objective. Drawn game!

Summary of the new rules for fliers.
Extremely fragile, but hard hitting. Necron fliers are brutal, able to move up to 36 inches, get an invunerable AND shoot without snapfiring (hitting on sixes).

Ugh. My orks are gonna burn!

Love these necron fliers, Oh hey BS 6? I still just nominate a spot 12" from the gun and then roll 3D6 and hit anything under that 1m width line with a STR10 AP1 hit.

2+ to pen, 4+ to go boom. (3+ if immobilize wrecks it) not to mention 4 twin linked str 7 ap - shots that add two more hits on 6's (so if you hit once, you hit it three times) which can definitely glance a flier to death if the death ray didn't.

Immobilize doesn't wreck a flier. Also shots that don't use BS can't be used on fliers so that D-ray is useless against other fliers. Though you can chose to skyefire your tesla and use full BS.



Night scythes are silly good now.

Ok, this is incorrect. You cannot Snapfire the Deathray, because it does not use a BS, but you can still choose the Skyfire the Death Ray, and Tesla Destructor, without Issue. There is also a YMDC thread, about if the Line going over the Flyer, regardless of if it was the target or not, if it still affects it.
