Pile of Necron Spare Parts





Hi,
I was reading some necron fluff and started thinking about special rules, that will bring our codex. And because that is still pretty far away, what about we try to make them together?

Basic dynasties:

Sautekh dynasty- this one is supposed to be the strongest one, its leader is Imotekh
Charnovokn - almost destroyed by nids
Oroskh - almost devoured by flayed virus
Atun - Birthplace of necrotyr, supposed to have best vehicles
Nekthyst- traitors, actually working with younger races
Ogdobekh- Technical mastery - Cryptecs
Nihilakh -they are isolated, but very powerful

So, what can we make of it?

I made dynastic virtues/tactics/protocols for 8 dynasties, I also made relics and stratagems for them in addition to 20 non-dynasty stratagems and 5 or so non-dynasty relics. I'm also halfway through Tau and almost finished with Drukhari. We've outlawed chapter tactics in our group because we felt it was unfair, it also makes things such as fielding the Ultramarines assault company an unwise decision compared to fielding more or less the same army but painted black. I quite like this system though, here's a taste of what you can find on the page.

SAUTEKH

Servitude or Death: After deployment, you may choose a number of enemy units including more than one model equal to or lower than the number of units in your army with this tactic, roll 2d6 for each chosen unit. If the result exceeds the highest Leadership characteristic in the unit, the test is failed. For each point that the test is failed by, one model in that unit must flee and is removed from play. Your opponent chooses which models flee from the units you chose.

WAVE OF DEATH

3 CP: This Stratagem can be used at the start of your Shooting phase if you have a SAUTEKH Warlord. All friendly INFANTRY, BIKER, CATACOMB COMMAND BARGE and TRIARCH STALKER units within 6” of your Warlord can immediately move, as if it were your Movement phase.

ABYSSAL STAFF

SAUTEKH CRYPTEK only. Instead of firing their staff of light normally the bearer can choose to use its special attack. Instead of rolling to wound the target suffers a -1 penalty to their Ld until the end of the turn for each hit the bearer inflicts.

MAYNARKH

Flensing Scarabs: Models with this tactic can re-roll hit rolls on the turn they charge.

CORPSE PARTY

3 CP: Use this Stratagem at the end of the Fight phase. Select a MAYNARKH CHARACTER unit – all friendly MAYNARKH FLAYED ONES units within 6” of that CHARACTER can immediately fight for a second time.

SHREDDERSHARD

MAYNARKH model armed with voidblade only. The bearer can re-roll failed to wound rolls.

MEPHRIT

Pitiless Efficiency: Models with this tactic can re-roll hit rolls of 1 against units which have suffered one or more casualties this turn. When shooting at a unit affected by a Triarch Stalker's Targeting Relay ability you can re-roll all hit rolls against units which have suffered one or more casualties this turn.

PITILESS PLANETKILLER

3 CP: This Stratagem can be used once per battle, in the Shooting phase, if you have a MEPHRIT Warlord that did not move during your Movement phase. Instead of shooting with your Warlord’s weapons, select a visible point on the battlefield and roll a D6. On a 4+ every unit within D6" of that point suffer D3 mortal wounds. Subtract 1 from the number of wounds caused to CHARACTERS.

BLOODREAPER

MEPHRIT model armed with warscythe only. The bearer wounds on a 2+ in the Fight phase, unless they are targeting a VEHICLE.

*Note: some of the stratagems are intentionally OP to empower weak units such as the Monolith. This wasn't initially the goal, but I just couldn't see myself bringing a Monolith just to test a fair Stratagem, so I made an OP stratagem so you might want to consider the Monolith.

Servitude or Death seems REALLY FREAKING POTENT. Like, too good.

Clocks for the clockmaker! Cogs for the cog throne!

Servitude or Death, even at its best, isn't going to be as devastating as Ravenguard's tactic is against any range-based Cron list.

I think it might have been pretty potent in one 500 pt game against Tau and in another 2k game against Tau, otherwise, I think it would have been useless.

I think it fits Sautekh and I'm not convinced it's OP. I'd play Nihilakh, Mephrit or Sarnekh if I had the option. It might be really good against HW Teams, other than I think it's pretty tame. Have you played against someone where it would be good? Better than Ravenguard's tactic?
