The new Necrons are brought out to play test in a 750.

750 Necrons


750 Typhus Zombie Horde

Nice, couple things though, the cryptek doesnt have infiltrate and IC without infilatrate cant join infiltrating groups.

Also how much was the Heldrake in gliding mode ? You dont snap shoot at gliders.

Im glad to see someone using flayed ones i cant wait to use them. Did you Feel the annihilation barge was worth it for the low point game ? at 90 points it use to be auto include but now at 120 points i could take 3 destroyers and still put out lots of pain.

Woops on the Infiltrate. I see that rule now. Regarding the Flayed Ones, they owned. The amount of attacks and shred made them incredible in combat. They were also very durable for their cost. I figure a blob of 20 of these would be very nasty in any list but I need to figure out what to do with them to include the Cryptek or Destroyer Lord.

The Heldrake was only hover/gliding when mentioned. It was once, I believe.

The Annihilation Barge was not as impressive but in small games it is ok. We felt the nerf on Tesla when firing snapshots on the Heldrake. Two dice rolled of six, but only two hits instead of six total with the old rules. I probably would not take these anymore in 1850s. I would probably settle for Destroyers/Heavy Destroyers or the Obelisk (which is more effective than three and cheaper).
