Was chatting with a pal at FLGS this evening, and wondering if I should build Immortals or Pariahs. Have to do one first. I decided on Immortals, my pal said that he thought the pariahs were not as well-rounded a unit. Personally, I like the models and the fluff for them, but they are 8 pts more a model, which gives you a point ea of S and I plus the neat-o morale effects, but you lose the Necron ability of Immortals.

Tough call. But they will be an expensive unit to build, over $100, so thought I'd ask around a bit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511112.page GMT
I never field more than 4 Pariahs, if your really worried about them getting shot too early, attach a solar pulse lord to them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511147.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511147.page GMT CC.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511229.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511229.page GMT
Pariahs, while having +1S +1I and a warscythe, only have 1 attack each so at I3 they will not get enough attacks to do any damage after taking casualties.

Secondly they cost a rediculous amount of points. Your paying almost as much as a terminator for no terminator armour, average shooting and only 1 attack.

And Finally, they are not Necrons. The dont have WBB and they dont count towards your phase out total. Any army that includes pariahs will phase out faster than one that doesnt.

Immortals on the other hand have high toughness, good shooting, cost 8pts less and are necrons.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511432.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511432.page GMT
"should I field one of my codexs best units, or my absolute worst unit?"

Regwon hit all the points

Pariahs are more expensive, suck in combat (1 A each), don't count towards phase out, don't get WBB.

Immortals are a rock solid 24 inch fire base of 2 shot heavy bolters essentially, which have a high toughness, and combined with monoliths/lords are quite hard to get rid of.

But if its one or the other, then IMMORTALS.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511603.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511603.page GMT
I don't agree with Darth though, saying more Warriors is better than taking Immortals. Their ranged weaponry is just so much better than that of the Warriors. Thoughness 5 isn't exactly a bad thing either.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511623.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511669.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511669.page GMT AP, while on the move is a bigger plus than the little bit of extra survivability the warriors have. Sure the shooting advantage of the Immortals is reduced drastically when the enemy is within 12", but that isn't a place where Necrons like to be, because they are terrible at close combat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511731.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511731.page GMT CC, when it looks nasty they should be getting out of there not bragging about their armour. I really think that a 5 warriors have a better shooting ability then 3 immortals overall.

Granted, Immortals look cooler.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511737.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511737.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511740.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511740.page GMT
Then go for these immortals but becareful fiedling small squads as these are prone to either breaking or just being wiped out (esp in cc) which will count against you for phasing out. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511771.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511771.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511877.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226713/511877.page GMT
