HIS LIST: Lord /w glode 2x10 warriors 4 destroyers 4 destroyers 3 destroyers 1 Heavy destroyer 2 Heavy destroyers Monolith THE MISSION: Deployment far 12" from the long edges. Every tabel quarters give 350 pts. Hidden deployment. THE DEPLOYMENT Here's the map after deployment.
The 'crons starts the battle! NECRON TURN 1 He starts advancing with the destroyers. The destr on the left hide behind the building in the center/left. 4 Destroyers turbo boost behind the wood. The dest on the right advance and fires my Railhead shaking it. the warrior and monolith begins their a slow advance.
TAU TURN 1 I start opening fire (what else can i do?). First my broadside aims to the monolith... 2 misses..damn! The kroot try an advance to rapidfire the destr behind the wood but they roll a miserable 3 (stupid chickens!) With all my forces on the right flank i fire on the destr behind the wood but the 3+
inv save is unpassable...no casualties. With the forces on the left i fire at the only Heavy destroyer i can se and kill it.
NECRON TURN 2 He flies cross the central building with the destroyers on the left and continue the advance with the monolith. With the destroyers behind the wood he comes back to see my Railhead. He fires to both my railguns with his destroyers...Railhead destroyed and Ionhead shaken. With the right destroyers he tryes to fire my stealths but fails the nightcheck. The warriors keep advancing too..
TAU TURN 2 Firt...i fire my broad to the monolith... 1 hit 1 miss..no glance...grrr. It's time for a strong reply. I come out with all my remaining forces on the left and open fire against its destroyers...destroying all! (
CIB does 2 wound!). On the right flank i move my kroot, piranha, stealths, and crisis to down the destroyers...not a single one remains alive!
NECRON TURN 3 The monolith keep coming close to my left flank and teleports the warrior with lord too near my Ionhead. The monolith itself fires destroying my poor piranha and killing 2 fire warriors. On the right its remaining destroyers fires again my stealth killing 2. The warriors rapidfires to death all my poor kroot. (poor use of my kroot this game!)
TAU TURN 3 Deep striking drones coming! They come on my roght flank aiming at the destroyers. I decide to keep my broadside fire last this time (perhaps it will bring some lucky roll). I move my
HQ and stealths to fire at destroyers too. All the destroyers are destroyed! (those
HQ team are a real force of nature!!). On the left i fire all i can to warriors killing 8...but 3 returned. Finally..the broadsides... 2 hit!...1 Glance!..roll.....1!!!
NECRON TURN 4 With all my forces hiding all he can do is fire at the drones with the right warriors and fire the fire warriors on the left. His fire is pretty ineffective....2 drones and 3 firewarrios death.
TAU TURN 4 I come out and fire all i can to the warriors...he ends the turn with 8 warriors left and he phased out! (the broadsides keep missing the monolith!)
TAU VICTORY Necron kills: RailHead, IonHead, piranha, kroot, half fire warriors. Tau kills: 11 destroyers, 3 Heavy destroyers... the rest phaded out! BOTTOM LINE. Necrons are considered a tau killer. This necron army was softer then normal. Destroyers are easy to bring down if you cann kill them in 1 turn, and we have the firepower to do that. An army with immortals and veil of darkness would have done much more damage. However it wasn't an easy game and i'm proud of this victory. I noticed that my
HQ team can inflict an insane amount of damage at 12/18" range! The
CIB killed 6 necrons in 3 turn of shooting....this is a great weapon i say. The broadsides were a bit unlucky but i'll give them another try. Anyway i had a real fun during this game. I hope the BR war clear. Good night and good luck...
