The question: In your opinion, what is the best unit and/or HQ against necrons? (this is about killing points, not objectives)


My personal opinion is either the WarpSpider or the Fire Dragons. Warp spiders because they have monofilament on their Death spinner. Fire Dragons because their fusion fun has Melta (not to mention its a S8 Ap1). I am not sure which unit would be better though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8076261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8076261.page GMT Eldar's best unit against Necrons?

Troops for example; Lychguard
Tanks for Example; Monolith]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8076374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8076374.page GMT Eldar's best unit against Necrons?

Troops i suppose. If i was to say tanks then most likely fire dragons would win at that


Okay well, I've got a Friend who plays Eldar and he uses a few tactics.

To take out my Tanks he uses two squads of Swooping Hawks, they have Haywire grenades*, and in case you don't know what they are at the bottom.

To take out my Units he uses all sorts of units, but things with Blast templates (Large Blast and Blast) are effective (Fire Prism for example, use the Dispersed* on Warriors and other basic units with 3+ saves and use Focused* on HQ's) and things with lots of shots like Shuriken Cannons and Catapults.

Remember: Necrons Take out tanks really easily compared to most Races



*Haywire Grenades; Range: 8" / S 2 / AP - / Assault 1, Haywire*
*Haywire; 1 they do nothing, 2-5 its a glancing hit and a 6 penetrating hit.
*Dispersed; 60" / S 5 / AP 3 / Heavy 1, Large Blast.
*Focused; 60" / S 7 / AP 2 / Heavy 1, Blast. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8076954.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8076954.page GMT Eldar's best unit against Necrons? WarpSpider vs Fire Dragons?
But outside of those options, just bring D. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8077060.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8077060.page GMT Eldar's best unit against Necrons? WarpSpider vs Fire Dragons? So, Warp Spiders, Night Spinner, and the HWP version.

Vehicles? Bright Lances to get the shield down, then lots of S6.
There's Haywire, too.

Fire Dragons do both:
ID for infantry,
Melta against shields.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8077270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8077270.page GMT Eldar's best unit against Necrons? WarpSpider vs Fire Dragons?
adding Fuegan and/or Jain Zar for a HQ are probably the best choice]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8079194.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8079194.page GMT Eldar's best unit against Necrons?

WarpSpider vs Fire Dragons? RP or Invulnerable saves. They used to be decent at killing Wraiths due to instant kill but now that isn't true.

The biggest threat to Necrons are Wraithguard and D-scythes. The D ignores both their Armour and RP. And in the case of Wraithguard, will instant kill all our HQ except a Destroyer Lord (who may still die depending on your D3 roll). If you deploy them well it'll force the Necron player to respond to your movements instead of you responding to his. You will control the board as long as those units live.

As for warp spiders. Sure they'll inflict a lot of wounds but the casualties will be relatively light after amour saves and RP. Just make sure you have BLOS terrain nearby to jump behind after shooting.

Also, I've gone up against a Jain Zar before and it's the only Eldar HQ I couldn't kill in melee. I charged her unit with Wraiths and a Destroyer Lord and we were tied up in combat for 4 turns. I killed everything around Jain Zar but I couldn't kill her thanks to all my models being reduced to WS 1 and her removing my warscythe from the fight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8082114.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/661419/8082114.page GMT Re:Eldar's best unit against Necrons?
