necrons VS nids the results

well  I went up against 2 heirodules 2 flyrants 2 fex's n gaunts  and it all went wrong kinda turn 2





I didn't do much turn 1 and he did some slight damage turn 1 main point was I lost my tomb spyder


turn 2 I went re-roll 1's on warlord and move up to do some damage I put a few wounds on a hierodule and a flyrant fell out the sky due 2 some psychic shenanigans that went wrong so he got pumped full of guass and charged  but this was  bad move as that left 40 odd shots off the table and I then cudnt touch nething else


death marks  3 wounds 2 a fex that was gd


but then he put the obsolute hurt on me n I lost my big bad blob star to a heiro dule as well as my scarabs and he killed off near enough al my wraiths and 2 add insult 2 injury he killed the last 1 in combat with gnats AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


so at turn 3 its looking bad  the highlight really was 5 death marks n combat from turn 2 with a fex that lasted pretty much till turn 6 lol


turn 4 I claw back some dignity I killed off a hierodule that was slightly wounded from previous rounds and finished off the flyrant that I charged as well I think (its not in proper order jus how I remember bits lol)


but it wasn't enough  he then spent the next 3 turns mopping up units that jus cud not put out enough fire power


this has made me think that if this was a wraithknight spam list I need ap3 guns!!  so im tempted to drop the canoptek harvest and instead get a destroyer cult


2 day I wil be facing the other list which is a swarm style list with guants n tervigons and a singe hierodule still 2k

painting necrons colour scheme!!

the game hasn't happened yet jus getting psyched up but on another note I have decided on the scheme for my necrons n they will be tomb world leviathan !!


namely bcoz I got the leviathan paint bundle for 2.55 thanks 2 a massive cock up from GW :D





lol so yea im soon 2 be the proud owner of 16 shiny new paints for 2.55  if u missed the top section lol


for those who don't know what is in the bundle and cant check bcoz GW still haven't put it back up for sale on the website yet its this





im wondering if  kislev up to pallid wych flesh  is a gd base for the necron bodies them selves but not sure, this may change  and jus be the glyph colour to keep me from going insane lol


the shoulder pads will be purple


the guns will be black


the orbs n things will be red

nids VS necrons rematch!!! pre game list analysis

so a while back I took on a barbed hierodule monster mash up list with my necrons and it was a crushing defeat



yea it was like this lol  while  necron guns wound stuff on 6's  I had 2 take  down 2 flyrants hierodule fex mawloc so yea lots of big gribblies and for those who don't know wat the hierodule is its this


|WS:4|BS:3|S:10|T:8|W:6|I:3|A:5|Ld:10|Save:3+  with feel no pain


so any wounds I did were getting juicy saves plus loads of harassment from the flyrants which I cudnt kill but they did loads of damage 2 my poor warriors


so with that in mind the stakes have been upped and its 2 heirodules which is gd/bad as that's 1130 points in 2 models n I get 50 models for around a 1k lol :D


so without further ado here is the possible list that ill be facing!!!

+ HQ (480pts) +

Hive Tyrant (240pts) [Electroshock Grubs Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms (15pts), Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms (15pts), Wings (35pts)]

Hive Tyrant (240pts) [Electroshock Grubs Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms (15pts), Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms (15pts), Wings (35pts)]

+ Troops (85pts) +

Mucolid Spore Cluster (15pts)

Mucolid Spore (15pts)]

Mucolid Spore Cluster (15pts)

 [Mucolid Spore (15pts)]

Termagant Brood (40pts)

+ Heavy Support

····Carnifex (150pts) [Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms (15pts), Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms (15pts)]

····Carnifex (150pts) [Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms (15pts), Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms (15pts)]

+ Lord of War (1130pts) +

Barbed Hierodule (565pts) [2x Bio-cannon, Scything Talons]

Barbed Hierodule (565pts) [2x Bio-cannon, Scything Talons]

so this first list is 2 FMC 2 MC and 2 GC  the troops are pretty squishy but can be a pain


the 2nd list is more of a



flyrants as above 


4 units of gaunts
2 tervigons


hierodule


malanthropes


so tis a swarm of om nom nom nom lol backed up with malanthropes 2 keep em safer and then the hierodule for punching power but itll also get some decent cover if it needs it lol




so wat do I have to face this menace??


well lets start with the core of the army the reclamation legion which hasn't changed for a long time


zandrek
40 warriors
5 immortals
3 bikes


with a lots of shooting they can wound the gribblies from the swarm and with some luck nibble at the MC but that is a lot harder needing 6's


next I have the royal court as some support for the legion
overlord scythe res orb
lord scythe res orb
cryptek chronometron x2
szeras


in the last game I didn't have the 5++ VS shooting which means ill allways have that before my 4++ so less things shud die hopefully


next thing is some CC punch


canoptek scarabs
canoptek wraith
canoptek spyder


these  should do well VS the gribblies as they'll struggle with the T5 and then against the MC they have rending and scarabs auto wound on 6's  so the main theme is the more dice u chuck at it the more chance u get off rolling 6's


then my secret weapon


death marks x5
death marks x5


that's 20 shots if im in 12"  wounding those bad boy MC on 2+ with rending so I can snipe 2 units  and create some easier/closer targets for the heirodule's taking them out the game

deamons nearly done!!

while I don't have any slaanesh models painted yet, I have 2 units of slaanesh cavalry BUT I do have a deamon army that's nearly painted!!!


the main problem is I now need 1 more 60mm base for my lord of change 10 bases for some blood letters and 10 for deamonettes 3 bases for crushers and 10 bases for the cavalry  but I have 2 check wat will now fit as I didn't add the cav 2 my case order


but painting wise I'm currently painting the heralds which ill try n finish 2day 


that leaves 3 deamon princes and lord of change so im quite excited

more painted stuff

so iv finished another unit of screamers  with flames!!!








and that's 28 horrors and 15 screamers ready 2 infest the imperium of man :D


iv got 3 60mm bases for the deamon princes they need doin so hopefully ill get them done this week as well

painting stuff

so i got bored of reading the new/old eldar dex  in short  not much has changed!!!  so moving on iv bin mega busy  painting  iv now only got left 2 paint


3 deamon princes
lord of change
3 heralds on discs
6 screamers


over the last week or so iv finished off all the horrors and their on bases as well as 9 screamers need eyes n fins finishing

6k views

well that  6k  crept up fast  !!!





and funnily enough the picture semi links into  the next thing I wana go over the unbeatable imperial knights  they got a new codex  with shiny new formations and models


we all know a knight is a headache so making them better well something stronger to deal with the headache but is this down 2 them being amazing or player list and mentality


theirs a lot of articles on 40k gaming theory  tactics being  defensive or offensive, active and reactive playing


for example I know a player (or a few)  that are stuck in a rut  n complain that their army it isn't as gd as it could be or change bcoz they think another army is better 


you may know a player like this or be that kind of player  constantly chasing that "better" army

so wats all this have 2 do with imperial knights ??  well this kind of player sed they were unbeatable bcoz well  inexperienced players who are learning the game or jus not that gd maybe daunted by a wall of av13  with lots of high str low ap weapons its scary


but I took up that challenge 2 prove they aren't scary and necrons  can deliver IF the list is right which as usual brings us full circle 


the most important parts of 40k  list building and deployment


in both games I played 1850  with necrons against 3 knights and the assassins formation and both games I won  with a land slide  9/2  15/4   and this was using the new baronial  court  so they had 3+  inv saves higher BS it was brutal  but this is testament to how great necrons are for resiliency and how much they follow the fluff as well (which is semi important as the same person thought that necrons were boring and no where near the fluff)  I had 72 models all infantry  reclamation legion royal court and canoptek harvest and both games they did really well 


so knights can be beaten  and will be beaten by necrons  wether the other races can hold back the tide well see the next likely candidate is deamons lots of MC  beatin them in CC  is where its at or flying lol :D
