A few of my friends and I want to have a campaign for 40k similar to soul storm and a axis and allies kind of game. On some of the territories you can capture you would receive a relic for your warlord which are basically a random one per army item from your codex but we ran into a problem because two of te armies don't have any relics like that and I was wondering if they had any in past editions that would still be useful? Or if not what would be some good ones? The armies that are missing then are necron and dark eldar which I'm not very familiar with so I was hoping for suggestions. Thanks.

And this is my first post so hopefully I'm not forgetting anything

Necrons have all kinds of stuff mentioned in their Codex as being super-science devices.

You could have an item that grants the Warlord 1d3 uses of the Tachyon Arrow per battle.

An item that improves the RP roll for all Necron units within 6" or 12" or whatever by +1 on a 4+ roll (maybe the device is unreliable?).

There could be, on one "country", an immobilized Monolith that allows the Necron player an extra 100 (or 200 or whatever) points worth of models and wargear for battles fought on that map.

Dark Eldar can have all kinds of drugs, weapons and torture devices that grant Fear, or immunity to it, or FNP, and bonuses to it, and all that kind of thing. The DE are into some really kinky things.

Also, Slave Armies. The DE can have slaves.

You could keep it simple and say they found X relic of there race which is actually Weapon x + mastercrafted/twinlinked/PE/+S or whatever.


Edit: or you can go all out crazy and give out orbital bombardments or apoc style strategic assets like vortex grenades

The idea for the D3 tachyon is one he would definetly fight for. We want them to be kind of on par with the space Maine relics or the tyranid apex byomorphs. Like something similar to the burning blade but that would be helpful for a overlord. would a more powerful res orb be good? Or maybe a weapon that increases intiative for the necron player atleast? I'm also not sure what things would be the most beneficial for their types of characters.

I appreciate the help
