Hey Guys,

Going into Necrons for the first time with my astra Militarum. Since I have not played against them in 8th and have not read their index, I would appreciate if any of you have tips, tactics or even effective lists going into them with AM. Thanks for thehelp guys, have not played in years and only made 3 games of 8th so far...any advice is more than welcome.

tks

Reanimation protocols now only work if some models remain in the unit at the end of the turn. If you can burn down a unit in one go, they won't get back up again.

Start by targeting the small support units. These are comparatively easy kills against Necrons and also tend to be the source of disproportionate firepower since Necrons cannot take heavy weapons in infantry squads.

Once you have burned down their supporting units, turn your fire on the infantry blobs and try to focus as much as you can. Kill 19 Necrons in a 20-bot blob is annoying when half of them get back up again. Necron Troops don't like close combat much so tie them up and cripple their shooting where possible.

A fistful of artillery pieces in one corner, 3-4 units of guardsmen, relevant supporting HQs, bulgryns(!) and you can't go wrong. Kill them one unit at a time. Use Infantry and bulgryns to mess up his midfield and he will get nowhere.

Advice coming from a disheartened necron general.
