So, how do you suppose a Necron force bent on close combat superiority would look? Would it look like a winnable force, or more like a figment of one's imagination?
I'd like to assemble this list....
1 Necron Lord w/ Res Orb, Veil
10 Flayed Ones (Flayed Ones can Infiltrate and Deepstrike as well as
10 Flayed Ones.. force a leadership test on any unit in mêlée, where
10 Flayed Ones.. failing will drop the unit's WS to 1)
20 Warriors (Warriors teleporting with the Lord can wipe out any unit in
15 Warriors.. the game, with vehicles being especially at risk)
15 Warriors
3 Wraiths (Wraiths ignore Difficult Terrain and have a 3++ save, as well
3 Wraiths.. as a substantial amount of Str6 attacks, making them a threat
3 Wraiths.. to vehicles as well)
1 Monolith (THE Necron support unit. It can Heal as it Kills. Nuff said)
91 Models, 90 Necrons, Phase Out: 22, 2250pts
This is not a critique of an army list... this is a discussion on the likely tactics and circumstances that must be considered before fielding such an unusual force. How would you defeat such a force? What would you most fear?
