<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Necrons - 1000pts "]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Necrons - 1000pts
Overlord with Warscythe on CCB
Harbringer of despair with staff and VoD

5 Immortals with tesla
5 Immortlas with tesla
10 Immortals with tesla

5 Deathmarks (Cryptek here)

3 Canoptek Scarabs
2 Spyders (Fabricator Claw Array)

2 Annhiliation Barges

Total: 1010pts

The plan is to have the overlord and scarabs marching up the middle demolishing his vehicles (hopefully) and the Annhiliation barges to mop up what's left. The deathmarks will deal with that one nasty unit every army has (again hopefully) and then the Immortals bringing up the rear to claim objectives and pick up theses survivors.


I also need to drop 10 pts somewhere, all comments are appreciated.

I'd probably try and get a Cryptek with a Pulse in there as well, just to give them some protection whilst spawning scarabs.

Hope this is useful. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265087.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265087.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265150.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts Plus, if you were planning on farming them with only 2 Spyders, after two game turns you would only have... 7 Scarabs.
...
why don't you just drop the Spyders and GET more Scarabs to begin with?
[protip: Scarab Farm is not a very effective tactic in low point games].

I am digging the use of all your Barges, though. Most armies can't handle that degree of armor and damage output at 1000 points.
And I say keep the Death&Despair squad. They've always done well by me (you just have to consider them disposable. They pop in, kill a tough enemy unit, job done. If they can serve some further purpose, props to them. If not, no big deal, they did what they were supposed to do).

I do agree you could do with a solar pulse, though.
hmm...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265234.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265273.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265273.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts
Alternatively, how about this:
Overlord (scythe, weave, barge) = 195
Harbinger of Despair (veil) = 60
Harbinger of Destruction (pulse) = 55

5 Warriors = 65
10 Immortals (tesla) = 170
[or 2x 5 Immortals]

5 Deathmarks = 95

6 Scarabs = 90
6 Scarabs = 90

Annihilation Barge = 90
Annihilation Barge = 90

Total = 1000

(seriously, though, reserve the D&D squad. If you deploy first, their ability is wasted. Also, try to keep the Scarabs in cover as they move up the flanks toward delicious tanks (remember: they move 6", then run, then assault 12", all ignoring difficult terrain). Flat-out the Command barge so you can get a decent cover save. Pop the pulse in your first turn while you're moving up to get into range. Have all your slow moving stuff try to keep pace with each other as best they can.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265504.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265529.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265567.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265592.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265649.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265695.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts CCB might be a good idea.

The only good thing about having a low number of scarabs is they make a good screen for your spyders to come up and munch on some tanks/soldiers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265752.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265752.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts The COMMAND Barge is for tanks.
If you go for 4 Troop units, make one or two gauss Immortals to make up for the lost Scarabs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265753.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4265795.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4272143.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4272143.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts

I don't understand why people say these things, and it makes even less sense that people believe it.

The Spyders are fantastic at all point values thanks to their toughness, multiple wounds and CC punch, though I'd give them a gloom prism instead of the fabricator if I was only picking one upgrade. As to the scarab farm, starting with 3-4 is perfectly acceptable. Put them in cover or screen them with another unit. Generally, opponents are going to have a hard time getting through night fighting and a 3+ cover save in order to wipe out the squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4272297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4272297.page GMT Necrons - 1000pts

Actually, I'll agree with the Spyders being a great punch for low games, but if the idea had been to get a lot of Scarabs on the table after a couple turns of night fight protection, but the person only started with 3-4 Scarabs in an army with only 2-3 Spyders... it's usually more effective to just bring more Scarabs in the first place (as in, 6+ bases, so you actually end up with a substantial amount by turn two, rather than merely 7 total)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4272524.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448767/4272524.page GMT
