<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Necrons running"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Necrons running 40k army on the battlefield. With dark Eldar I pictured raiders zooming by defence lines and warriors jumping off to engage the enemy. With IG I pictured battlescarred men and some 'shinies' in trenches, bringing their lasguns up and awaiting orders to fire. Then came Necrons. They would have a slow advance,....which means they wouldn' be getting anywher fast. But then again they are pretty tal and long legs so their "power walk" could be similar to a human sprinting. My question is, how fast could a necron with legs move? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1660270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1660270.page GMT Necrons running http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1660302.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1660302.page GMT Necrons running GW make a rule that says they can't run or they only run D3 inches?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1660313.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1660313.page GMT Re:Necrons running

Immortals probably would be the slowest due to the fact that they are way bulkier than Warriors.

Why does GW hate Necrons?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673262.page GMT Necrons running
and yeah, I get the feeling that, more than any other army, they are a product of the rules edition they were created in. The idea of slowly, yet implacably moving forward is ludicrous in the current game.

Plus, just because they normaly amble about doesn't mean they couldn't hypothetically move fast. It's probably just not worth the bother most of the time, what with their ability to teleport everywhere and all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673640.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673640.page GMT Necrons running Honestly guys.
They suck now, making them even worse means even fewer people will play them.

Your original question goes to fluff, not games rules.

A necron can walk faster than a necron with no legs.



They should walk about the same speed as a human with a purposeful walk.
I can't see why they can't run. terminators (the movies not GW) can run despite having a purposeful stride.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673747.page GMT Necrons running

There is nothing in the codex that suggests that they are slow-moving.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673774.page GMT Necrons running BL books (Dark Creed comes to mind) and their portrayal in Dawn of War I. Actually I thought from an RTS tactical + fluff point of view they were perfect in DoW. Units generally were slow as molasses but had a variety of teleport options (Monolith etc.) BUT those were on cooldowns. So you could pull off the most amazing ambush-bait-switch-flank attack by blowing everything, but then leave yourself horribly exposed footslogging for the next few minutes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673804.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1673804.page GMT Re:Necrons running then fire like humans with rifles, they move and fire because they're so, well, purposful. rapid fire/assault can represent whether the decided to raise thier axes or not, being so slow and all they probably can't switch between the two functions with much efficiency]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674062.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674062.page GMT Necrons running http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674069.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674069.page GMT Necrons running http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674088.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674088.page GMT Necrons running
~Edit~

As a matter of fact, such units as...

Flayed ones,
Wraiths,
Scarab Swarms,
Destroyers,
Heavy Destroyers,

(practically half the dex)

Are specifically noted for being far faster/agile then that of a normal human.

Necron lords are told to be "Models of timeless perfection in every aspect" (I'd assume 'speed' would be considered one of these 'aspects')

The other models are also known for being able to move at a warriors pace, in fact the only thing that mentions a reduced speed is the Ponderous rule for the Necron Monolith, Lemun Russes have the Lumbering Behemoth special rule, I suspect by the Necron logic that Guardsmen should also be unable to run (or run d3").]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674220.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674220.page GMT Necrons running http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674589.page GMT Necrons running D6" in the movement phase instead of 6" like everyone else. Then all it really does for Necrons is fire as if they didn't move.

Basically your Warrior can fire as if he didn't move, but he can only move D6" instead of 6" like pretty much everyone else.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1674605.page GMT Necrons running necron immortal running away from shooting gretchin ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1677527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299863/1677527.page GMT
