Looks like it's time to convert an Overlord with a Warsythe and Dispersion Shield.

**Henker-Kind**

Destroyer lords can take wargear from most sections if not all

Stats, Warlord traits table, special weapons and more.

Enjoy it!

Well, all of the Necron special gear from the previous codex got gutted.

One use only. Because so many of them were OP

Or overly complicated.
Or just plain annoying

**Requizen**

Now I have to get more Lychguard boxes to put Dispersion Shields on everything. I think I'll just magnetize it to arms/backs of characters I've already put together, no reason to make new ones.

More Characters:

Orikan the Diviner (120 points)

WS4 BS4 S4 T4 W2 I2 A2 Ld10 Sv.4+

(Orikan Empowered) WS5 BS5 S7 T7 W4 I4 A4 Ld10 Sv.4+

Phase Shifter, Staff of Tomorrow: S:User, AP2, Melee, Chronoblade (re-roll to hit rolls in assault)

Master Chronomancer: Model and all models in same unti get +1 to RP rolls, and re-roll armour saves of 1

The Stars are Right: Roll D6 at start of each friendly turn. If result is less than current turn number, Orikan uses his Empowered profile for rest of game. If he suffers a wound before becoming empowered, he has 3 wounds instead of 4 when empowered.

(For Anrakyr, see earlier in the thread)

Trazyn the Infinite (130 points)

WS5 BS5 S5 T5 W3 I2 A3 Ld10 Sv.3+

Empathic Obliteration: S+2, AP4, Melee, Concussive, Psionic Shockwave: if a character is slain in a challenge by this weapon, all models within 6" of the character with the same faction (friend or foe) suffers a S4, AP- hit.

IC, RP, Enduring Will Trait

Surrogate Hosts: If Trazyn is removed as a casualty, roll a D6. On a 2+, choose another friendly, non unique Cron infantry character to be removed instead. Trazyn takes its place with D3 wounds remaining. If it was locked in assault, Teazyn is as well. If there are no available targets or a 1 is rolled, Trazyn is removed as a casualty.

Imotekh the Stormlord (190 points, LORD OF WAR)

WS5 BS5 S5 T5 W3 I2 A3 Ld10 Sv.2+

Gauntlet of Fire, Phase Shifter, Staff of the Destroyer: 18", S6 AP2, Assault 3

IC, RP, It will not die, Hyperlogical Strategist trait

Lord of the Swarm: Night fighting is always in effect during first game turn. Once per game, at start of friendly shooting phase, roll a D6 for each enemy unit within 48" of Imootekh. On a 5+, that unit suffers D6 Strength 6 AP- hits, randomly allocated.

Bloodswarm Nanoscarabs: Flayed Ones can re-roll scatter dice when deep striking

And them's the characters!

Orikan straight buffed, though the Writhing Worldscape cheese is gone. Oh well, pretty good overall.

TRAYZN HUGE BUFF. Can come back onto ANY Necron Infantry with D3 wounds is MASSIVE. Empathic Obliterator is huge too, now it is just anything with the same FACTION. Damn.

Imotkeh's Staff of the Destroyer is MUCH better now (the one use thing was butts before and you know it), has IWND base, Lord of the Storm is actually buffed quite a frelling bit, and Bloodswarm Nanoscarabs + new Flayed Ones is quite good!

Special Characters in this edition are looking great in my opinion! Other than Anrakyr and Obyron, I can find a use for all of them!

**Nakor The BlueRider**

D Lords - Still WS 4 BS 4 unlike the the Overlords, Jet pack infinity & come with a Staff of Light for 10 points less.

Boo

Edit - But it seems they can get a ++3 so not all is lost apart from his place with the Wraiths. Maybe having him babysit a big brick of Warrior to give them PE.

**MoonlightSonata**

Nerfed into the bin? lol

**Melcavuk**

Trayzn can only come back on "friendly, non-unique, necron infantry character". Which is Ovelords, Crypteks and Lords right? Not a huge buff.

Trollzian will be taking place of your nearest ........ wait what characters do necrons even have besides the HQ slot?

I kinda liked him for being able to remove whole units of conscripts though

Not at all! You can give them a chronometron and a phase shifter - heck give him a dispersion shield 3++ I guess...and I think relics too! Have you read thate nightbringer weapon?

Ah gak, got excited and missed that. Yeah, less good then. Dammit.

D-Lords will be murderous, but harder to get into combat ...

more like completely nerfed. his empathic obliterator when a character is slain in a challenge. so you've gotta actually survive the challenge first, then get your 6" bubble of death. meh.

**col_impact**

So the bargeLord cannot join units since IC is not on the profile.

But . . . it looks like you can buy the bargeLord a Dispersion shield and the chariot model (rider and chariot) gets a 3++.

Ha yeah the nerd rage blinded me to that fact. So its is possible to give a +2/++3 for how many points we shall have to wait. The lost of the movement is huge tho, imho & it would of been nice for it to see the same stat increase.

Maybe we shall see that a D.lord with Lychguards jumping out of the Ghost Arc is the new hotness.

lol and the shenanigans begin again. not that i'm complaining

i'm more interested in how to get the nebuloscope to work with other weapons since it is a piece of technoarcana, and the unit descriptions specifically say OLs, crypteks etc may take items from technoarcana.

fabricator claw arrays are also technoarcana. self repairing command barges anyone?

**docdoom77**

I don't see anything here saying that Crypteks and Lords are multiple per slot or don't use a slot. So outside of formations, we're stuck with an Overlord and a single Cryptek. Sigh.

**Henker-Kind**

Against knights or in combat: void reaper??

armourbane, fleshbane strength+2, master crafted, two handed

**Desubot**

They REALLLY wanna sell formations. even by force.

**MLKTH**

Keep in mind that we haven't seen the actual lists for wargear, just stuff someone in the codex has. I'm pretty damn sure that dispersion shields are still available only to lychguards, not to characters.

**Red Corsair**

Illuminor Seraz is amazing IMO, same with Orikan AND youcan field them in the royal court formation. Also notice these guys all have IC including normal crypteks meaning all you do is purchase royal court formations, grab 0-5 of each character type then join them to other units. So whoever was upset over having all them crypteks coverted, thankfully you can still use them! Always glad to see people NOT get screwed over.

Also I'd like to note that it appears that there is nothing stopping a C'tan from shooting two powers a turn off that table. Even if they can't I fully expect to see at least one C'tan in most armies. The tranny c'tan is easily on par with a wraith knight.

12" move ignoring terrain. s8 t7 but with a 4++ These things are your answer to MC's and CC units.

I think the new book is overall win!

and his jet pack infantry isn't that bad if we give him some shooty relics

Nope. DShields are listed under Technoarcana, which all O Lords, D Lords and regular Lords can take.

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE TO YOU MAN THAT BOOK IS AWESOME! I was never so positive about a release or book of GW before!

hmm. from the pics of the codex pages...

"Overlord may take items from the Melee Weapons, Ranged Weapons, Technoarcana and/or Artefacts of the Aeons lists."

Dispersion shields are listed as technoarcana. RAW you should be able to take a dispersion shield on him since it's on the Technoarcana list no?

But you're probably right.

**vipoid**

So, is there a point to Trazyn now?

He doesn't have super-scoring, he doesn't have anything like the old MSS, his weapon is crap and it's effect is somehow even more useless than before (if you can believe that). What's the point of taking him?

Moreover, if he dies, why would you want him back? You're sacrificing a useful character to revive a crap one.

Yes, based on current spoiled info, but we could be missing a listing with an asterix that says, may not be taken by a CCB or something to that effect. Need the full codex to be certain.

**RivenSkull**

Wraiths are beasts now apparently

Quantum Shielding DOES NOT cover rear armor

**Henker-Kind**

Nightbringer got even better:

gaze of death ignores cover and regains his life!
