Hi,

I will be playing two games (550 and 1500 points versus Necrons). I have never played against them. What tactics can Space Wolves use to win? The rumor is that Necrons are very easy to play, and hard to defeat.
Any hints would be great.

All best.

necrons can field a wide variety if units, so it depends on what you face. The most common list by far is 2 squads of wraiths, powerful jump infantry with a 3+ invuln that will destroy anything they get into assault with, several annihilation barges which have the equivalent of 2 or 3 auto cannons and 13 armor, and several flyers that also have 2 or 3 auto cannons. I reccomended brining lots of high volume shooting for the wraiths, las cannons for the barges, and whatever skydire you have. Focus on any wraiths first as they are by far the biggest threat.

My oponents list looks like that:


- Destroyer Lord /w Warscythe & Mindshackle Scarabs (
- 10x Necron Warrior (130)
- 10x Necron Warrior (130)
- Canoptek Spyder /w Particle Beamer

I would reccomend las cannon Long Wolves for the spider and some plasma gun grey hunters, play it more from cover and shooty. maybe bring a RP with LL and try to strike down as many as you can

Wolves with banner and mark in Drop Pods and meltas.
Drop close and assault next turn

jaws..

lots and lots of jaws will let you auto win vs that list
just sit back and make him fall into the nono pit
