<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "5th Edition Necron Codex"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 5th Edition Necron Codex This may be old news, and I apologise if it is, but I found this whilst messing about on Google.

Credit to the person that made it, as it seems fairly balanced on my inital read through. I though the monolith somewhat nurfed until I read all of its rules. I'm keen for your views on this. Would you play it? What mods would you deem appropriate? I really like the changes made to phase out and WBB, as it allows the Crons to operate as a normal army instead of a expensive collection of spammed units.

Check it out:

I think you missed this -

"In addition, while a Necron lord is on the table, all of your units with the Necron special rule gain the Stubborn universal special rule."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2092619.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2092619.page GMT 5th Edition Necron Codex http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2092992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2092992.page GMT 5th Edition Necron Codex
As a matter of fact, flayed ones in that list are weaker than they currently are as they have I4 and LD10 as opposed to I3 and LD9. They did give them 1 more attack though, but 1 attack doesn't matter if you're still striking after MEQ's.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2093058.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2093058.page GMT 5th Edition Necron Codex

A Necron army should still be entirely Fearless. But then again if we went by the fluff they would be near nigh unstoppable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2093848.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2093848.page GMT 5th Edition Necron Codex MEQ's
also ditto to samrtk's comment about fearless ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2094293.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2094293.page GMT 5th Edition Necron Codex IMHO "oh you didn't run from combat because you're so bad-ass and battle hardened that nothing scares you. Ok, well you take more damage then." What? Ugh.

Anyway, I played a scenario game where all non-vehicle units had stubborn (on both sides) and man let me tell you it was so much better than fearless. It was just nice knowing that in CC I won't have to worry about testing leadership on a 3 or 4 or something nor will I take 3-8 extra wounds just because my squad doesn't run from combat. I don't know if you have done it or not but trying playing a game with everyone fearless then play one with everyone stubborn, see which you like more. I prefer stubborn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2095320.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2095320.page GMT 5th Edition Necron Codex
Fearless doesn't represent logic, just too much bravery. A necron isn't going to cry when he's beaten up and won't fight on for glory either.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2096796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/326344/2096796.page GMT
