Hi guys,

I just have a game againt a necron player, and I had many problems with his 2 Night Scythe. Can a flying Hive tyrant attack them in CC even when flying ? What are the others solutions ?

Thanks !

No model can assault a flyer (personally I believe Jump/Jet units and FMC should be able to), but FMC like Hive Tyrants can vector strike. You have to Swoop over the flyer and declare it, then deal hits at base Strength (D3+1 I think). You count as firing a weapon and can fire at a different target with guns.

Yeah jump troops and jetbike users should be able to but cant everything is supposedly flying around too fast for that kind of thing even though it'd be highly cinematic something this edition is supposed to advance.

The necron flyers have paper armor and the Night Scythes are just the transport. Not sure why you would be scared of one more Tesla weapon. The Night Scythe isn't super scary. Its the Doom Scythe that does damage.

Aside from your Tyrant Vector Striking them you're best bet really just to ignore them and kill the rest of the army. Go for the mission and accept the Night Scythe will kill a couple gants a turn.
