I typically play an aggressive assault based wolf army.

I am due to face a necron army where the opponent loves using the destroyer cult formation. He takes 3 units of destroyers and 3 heavy destroyers.

I am expecting a lot of jump shoot jump against me, but I am wondering if a wolves and wulfen list will not have the mobility to deal with it.

Any advice, especially from wolf players or people who have faced the destroyer cult as to how best to deal with them? I don't have the models for a drop pod heavy list which is off the top of my head what I think would work best.

What is the rest of his army? As a Necron destroyer cult player, imho, if those destroyer get caught in combat with TWC, they die. Just remember to take stormshield on every of the TWC, and one or two powerfists per pack, S10 attacks are the trouble of Necron T5 units.

I dont know, he tends to vary that part. I expect he will take the transport flyer.

Do the TWC have the mobility to get to them?

I've played with a destroyer cult several times and I come to the same conclusion each time that they really lack volume of fire for the cost.

For wolves, just engage them in CC as they don't have hit and run and you will tie them up and grind them down. Thunderwolves are obviously a great choice but any unit can be effective.

**Slayer-Fan123**

TWC will have the mobility and hitting power to kill them. The Claw variants will maybe put on a couple of wounds but will be stuck forever. That isn't always good in the objective game.

What's the typical game size?

**dragonelf**

Typically 1850pts. Sometimes 1500.

**Slayer-Fan123**

What's in the list outside Destroyer Cult?

**dragonelf**

Not sure, it varies. He sometimes uses the stalker to boost their BS to 5!

Takes several units of bikes, flyer, the deep striking sniper guys, I dont know the necron army that well.
