Hello all, had a 1000pt game today of Necrons Vs Orkz. Won 4 VP - 0VP before turn 3 due to opponent leaving early.

We played Cleanse and Capture using Hammer and Anvil deployment.

I had;
Patrol Detachment

Cryptek

18 Warriors

10 Immortals w/ Tesla

9 Deathmarks

4 Destroyers, 1 Heavy Destroyer

My opponent had;

Morkanaut

Trukk w/ 10 boyz

Battlewagon w/ 10 boyz

10 boyz

My Turn One;

I drew 3 objectives and drew Secure Objective 3, Defend Objective 6 and mission critical objective. Rolled a 2 so needed objective 2.

I moved my immortals up the field but out of range of his units.
Destroyers moved with 3 able to hit the Battlewagon and the other Destroyer and H Destroyer targeted the Morka.
The warriors moved with 2 being able to target his lone squad of boyz.
Cryptek held back in between the destroyers and warriors for 4+ RP, 5 invul and to hold objective 6.
Deathmarks were held in reserve (note: they never made an appearance due to the game ending before the start of my turn 3 and never deployed them).

3 Destroyers hit the Wagon with 5 shots, 2 became wounds and did 4 wounds by rolling a 2 and 5 (d3 damage). The other Destroyer and H Destroyer hit the Morka with 2 shots, Heavy missed so did no damage. Got 2 wounds with the other Destroyer by rolling a 3.

Warriors targeted the Boyz and dealt 1 damage so they lost 1 model and lost another 2 due to failed morale.

I scored no points and discarded Mission Critical Objective.

Opponent Turn One;

He drew secure objective 6, 4 and to score a point if a unit was wiped out via morale.

He moved the Morka, Wagon and Trukk towards my Destroyers and Immortals. Kept the boyz where they were.

The Wagon and Morka hit their rockets at the destroyers, saved all shots bare one he rolled a d3 damage got a 6 and took out a Destroyer, targeted the Immortals next with the rest of the Morkas weapons and wounded 9 out of 10 immortals but luckily i saved 7 so only 2 went down. Warriors where out of range for his boyz and cryptek was not targeted.

He scored no points and discarded the morale card due to my leadership of 10.

My Turn 2;

I draw another card and got Hold the Line.

I rolled my RP for the 2 Immortals and Destroyer and none came back.

I moved my Immortals back in fear of being charged, moved the destroyer towards objective 3, warriors moved closer to his boyz, Cryptek held objective 6.

I shoot my warriors at his boyz, got 7 wounds which took out his unit giving me First blood.
Destroyers and H destroyer targeted the wagon missed 7 shots including the H Destroyer but i got another 3 wounds.
Immortals targeted the wagon and dealt 2 wounds.

I scored objective 3 and held objective 6 for 2 turns so got 4 points in total.

My Opponents Turn;

He drew secure objective 2.

He moved the Wagon and Morka towards my Immortals and disembarked the boyz. The Trukk moved forward and disembarked towards my Destroyers.

He shoot his rockets at the Warriors and dropped 4 of them. Morkas other guns shoot at the Destroyer got a lot of hits but no damage.

Shot with the Boyz at then and did 1 damage. The other Boyz shoot at the Immortals and downed 2 of them.

He then charged both Boyz units at the Destroyers and Immortals. Immortals took 5 Boyz down in Overwatch, Destroyers dealt no damage.

Unit 1 of Boyz downed 3 more Immortals while unit 2 downed 1 Destroyer. Immortals downed 2 Boyz while Destroyers down 1 Boyz.

Morale was rolled and nothing was lost. He discarded objective 2.

Turn 3 is about to begin when he gets a phone call tells me he has to leave immediately​ and hands me the game with a hand shake.

Did he disembark and then move transports? Otherwise it was illegal.
Wagon should really have Rolla nowadays, or just charge into any of troops to deny shooting. I gotta consider to spend in at least 10 bases of scarabs to prevent that in my future games.
Do you feel that morkanaut would get charge off? If yes - which turn? Same with wagon and trukk - if he'd charged em - turn two or later?
Really like immortal color scheme - reminds me of judge Dredd! Could you please tell me paint names and process?

Bummer the other guy had to go, would have been curious as to the results.

Would be curious to see how played out. Wonder if he knows to concentrate fire on the destroyers - once one is down....

thanks for the post.

he disembarked, moved, shoot the Rockets and charged with the Boyz. He played legally.

Once Necrons get charged they are not as useful. Bringing Scarabs would have changed things so if I re-do the list I'll find a way to work them in.

I think the Morka would have charged the Warriors on turn 3, Trukk charge the Immos on turn 3 and Wagon would have charged the Destroyers. I asked my opponent as we cleaned up and that is what he was planning.

Cheers man! I was actually using Dredd as my inspiration haha. They were painted back in 6th edition so I cannot really remember the process or the colours but it was a mixture of GW paints and Vallejo paints. If i remember the process Ill PM you everything

Him, my brother and I all play once/twice a week so we agreed for a re-do with the same lists when we next play. So stay tuned!

Would be curious to see how played out.

on my turn 3 I was going to fall back with the immortals and destroyers and have the Deathmarks deepstrike in. Warriors would have targeted the boyz that held up the destroyers and have the deathmarks target the boyz that held up my Immortals. Because the Destroyers have Fly I would have been able to target either the Trukks, Battlewagon or Monkanaut. Most of the infantry would have been gone i'd say leaving him with the Trukk, Wagon and Monka. I also drew secure Objective 1 (Immortals had), Objective 6 (Destroyers had it) and wipe out a unit for 1vp or 3 for d3 so either way I was going to do well. But action speaks louder then words so who knows what would have happened.

Wonder if he knows to concentrate fire on the destroyers - once one is down....

He thought they were good units but hard to damage. He did not know they had FLY hence why he locked them in CC. He was focusing more on the Immortals and Warriors due to their size and the fact RP works for each model unless the unit is wiped out.

thanks for the post.

No problem man. I will keep them coming

Thanks for the report.

I've played against Orks once myself and they are surprisingly fast.
Once non CC Necrons get into CC they are pretty much toast.
Most competent opponents will try to surround you making it diffucult to add back models with RP since they need to be in coherency with the existing models in the unit.
If you compare this with 7th you could tarpit units pretty easily with Necrons since RP back then made them more durable.

This makes counter charge and/or screening units very important in 8th and Scarabs are great as both screening units and objective holders.

How did he loose 2 models to morale if he had only lost 1 ork?

My opponent told me they where leadership 5 and he rolled a 6. So, 6+1 = 7 - 5(leadership) = 2 more model were taken via morale.
