This.

However, with some of those spare points, put MSS on the overlords. The barge lord would be more useful with SW for when he is out of the barge. I would suggest that a phase shifter might help on the Orb overlord - but I play against opponents with a lot of power weapons. Also, I'm not a fan of gauntlet of fire, I'd prefer a war scythe for the extra 5 points because the scythe is more value in CC.

So far, in the few games I have played. The Monolith has been a problem for my opponent. But on the other hand in both games I used the veiltek Immortals, I ended up leaving them too close to the opponent's edge where they were assaulted and locked. (They put up a damn good fight and kept 2 genestealers locked for 3 turns the one game, and got swept in another). With Nemessor and Obyron, I can have all that with a warscythe, a veil I can use in combat, a rex orb, 2 semp weaves and phase shifter. All that is heavy on points though and makes me a little nervous

Minor point with the warriors - you might consider dropping the unit to 5 warriors, using the spare points for some upgrades for the barge lord. MSS and SW (even add PS) make a big difference once the CCB gets shot down and the warriors have ghost ark support anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4317101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4317101.page GMT Re:Necron 2000pt list, please critique

I'll echo MarkCron's suggestion to reduce the Warriors down to free up extra points, but I would suggest using them to get Zahndrekh & Obyron's unit a Chrono-tek and a Lightning-tek (being able to reroll Obyron's scatter dice pays for itself, plus being able to abuse the ResOrb via rerolls. not to mention those tesla carbines will love you forever if they have a chance to turn a into a )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4318042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4318042.page GMT Re:Necron 2000pt list, please critique http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4318090.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4318090.page GMT Necron 2000pt list, please critique If you ddont have the codex handy then too sum it up since he has 2 courts he could potentially take 10 crypteks and upgrade them all to Harbingers of Destruction as it clearly states you can take ay number of a specific harbinger, the Necron FAQ states all of these would need to have the upgraded weapon in this case the eldritch lance, however the optional wargear (Gaze of Flame and Solar Pulse) may be taken only once in a royal court, this means he could have upto 10 eldritch lances but only 2 Gaze of Flame or Solar Pulses in his army, 4 Destruction Cryteks are allowed as long as only 2 have the wargear.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4318228.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4318228.page GMT Re:Necron 2000pt list, please critique

If you ddont have the codex handy then too sum it up since he has 2 courts he could potentially take 10 crypteks and upgrade them all to Harbingers of Destruction as it clearly states you can take ay number of a specific harbinger, the Necron FAQ states all of these would need to have the upgraded weapon in this case the eldritch lance, however the optional wargear (Gaze of Flame and Solar Pulse) may be taken only once in a royal court, this means he could have upto 10 eldritch lances but only 2 Gaze of Flame or Solar Pulses in his army, 4 Destruction Cryteks are allowed as long as only 2 have the wargear.


OK, that makes sense now. I was looking at it like only one Harbinger type per court. Thanks for clarifying it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4318448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451315/4318448.page GMT Re:Necron 2000pt list, please critique

You meant re roll one of the D6s from Obyron's scatter dice, not the scatter dice itself right? I thought that this was still iffy (same with LD and Morale rolls?).
