I've been playing with my wife and no matter who controls the SM army they win every single game. This is 10+ games at full army strength for both.
We don't have any new codex/large rule book, but are these armies balanced points wise?

General rules we are playing with are only the ones supplied with the boxed set:
Move.
Shoot/advance.
Charge into melee if able.
Charging army attacks first, each turn after that the person's who turn it is attacks second.
Pistols can still shoot while in melee.
Saving attacks are modified by attackers -AP.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082360.page GMT Command Edition armies balanced?
Should get better once you get a hold on the rules & codexes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082369.page GMT Re:Command Edition armies balanced? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082371.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082371.page GMT Command Edition armies balanced? th destroyers get to charge the intercessors rather than vice-versa. Either could really take a big chunk out of them, and as annoying as those bikes can be I don't think they have it in them to take out all the 'crons.

If you want to try adding a rule that would probably tip things in favor of the necrons a bit:

All necrons have a rule called Resurrection Protocols. Every turn you roll a number of dice equal to the number of dead necrons in each unit, and if you roll a number of 5+s equal to the Wounds the unit has, one of them gets back up. The necron warriors in particular since they just have one wound and a special rule that they re-roll 1s for that roll tend to bring back a bunch of dudes with it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082375.page GMT Re:Command Edition armies balanced?

I really hope so....these Assault Intercessors alone kill nearly everything on the field each battle.

Ah would have thought the bikes would have been the issue here considering they are roughly the same deal as the Assault Intercessors but with better shooting and faster

If you need ideas maybe the board can help if you tell us how these games are played ? Is there any kind of "mission" involved or is it a "slay them to the last one" kind of thing ?
Also, are you playing on the cardboard thing play area in the box or are you playing on a bigger area ? With the base terrain only ?
Is there even rules for the terrain in this box ?

Edit : Wait, it's a full rulebook in there (without fluff), isn't it ?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082391.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/797008/11082391.page GMT
