Well it was a draw- he had 1 man on a objective which drew him the game, this one man took hits from a monolith and immortals 2 turns running!
But yer, so Necrons..
Good things-
Reanimation was annoying for other player
Tesla guns can cause so many wounds
Immortals are a good troop choice
Mindshakle scarabs are awesome
Cons-
Monolith did bugger all, just moved forward every turn and nothing got within 12 of it, it just kept blasting everything
My overlord couldnt hit a brick wall, in total 9 attacks over 3 turns and only 1 hit, But that is just my dice rolling lol
Destroyer lord did naf all
Maybes-
Destroyers didn't really do much, except be annoying, 200 points for 5 is a bit hefty
Heavy Destroyers didn't do much either, but are a main type of anti tank.
Overall-
So lack of anti tank hurt me, I am going to use a doomsday barge (or 2) next week, and try some other options, but I still feel we dont handle tanks overally well, and yer close combat is even worse for us now our lords are I2, but whip coils on wraiths is very handy!
Reanimation should be 5+ and the res orb give it a reroll. It's such a huge advantage that it shouldn't be 4+.
ReplyDeleteMindshackle were irritating but against my assault terminators with their 3+ inv saves not much cop. Had they been used on a tactical squad or even just a regualr terminator squad they would have done better.
Monolith I was dissapointed with. They needed toning down from the last codex but in our game it just didn't seem to do anything but it took a hell of a lot of firepower.
Destroyers... don't know. I used to really fear them but yours didn't do much. Current 6th ed rumours suggest that Preferred Enemy will also include shooting attacks so that may make them better.
Your list was quite good but I think you wanted more warriors for volume of shoots.
agree with most things on thier lol, monolith just isnt what it used to be and well destroyers.. yes I agree I wanted more warriors, but atmo I am trying random things out in friendly games to get used to new codex before campaign :)
