Uhh....sorry.

2/28 has a tournament coming up, and once again I'm bringing my Necrons. I'm hoping to have it all painted by then! New codex makes me do a few things differently...but it could be really fun.

Wraiths x6
-Whip Coils

So that's with the models that I have, though I can make some tweeks here and there.

Szeras goes in the unit of 20 Warriors, making them tough as nails and bringing his AP 2 rocket launcher to the party. He is also going to randomly buff this unit. If these guys manage to get stuck in combat, it could spell trouble. That's why it's covered on either flank by a Ghost Ark.

Night Scythes do their thing, zoom around the board shooting stuff and dropping off late game objective grabbers.

Wraiths are there to punch things.

Got to take this for a test run yesterday, yikes! Works very well so far. Rolling the +1 BS for Szeras is great. I think I'd like another unit of Wraiths in here for competitive games, they make great tar pits. Tied up a full unit of Spawn and a Khorne Lord on Juggernaut until round 5.

I'd be looking suspiciously at those Lychguard. With shields, they're great for protecting a really killy Character, but without one, are they really all that threatening? I'd consider trading them in for more Wraiths

I wish I had more Wraiths! I also wish I had more Immortals or Warriors to put in the third Night Scythe instead. I will say they were exactly what I needed last night in my first trial game. At the end of turn 5, I was in a bit of trouble with a Helbrute and 2 Rhinos threatening my Relic. I dropped those Lychguard in such a way that the Helbrute and 1 Rhino had no choice, they either had to go through me or around me and either way they weren't going to make it until turn 7.

I do think Orikan would fit nicely in this unit.

Yeah, Orikan + Sword and Board LG is a pretty nice combo.
