[we'll_be_back]

The necron lord rules are kinda confusing me, can someone please clarify them
1. Can a Necron Lord be 210 pts (!00pts wargear and warscythe)?

2.If equipping a Necron Lord with a war scythe, do they have any shooting capabilities?

this question has come about as the lord starts with shooting abilities and then is 'upgraded' to warscythe and pariahs of a warscythe with inbuilt gun
So please can necron Lord's with war scythes shoot.

 

[wolf.]

is the warscythe a two handed weapon? if it is, i think (if my memory serves) you cannot shoot

 

[Bishop120]

First part is a simple yes. He may have 100pts of wargear and "may also" buy the warscythe for 10pts for a grand total of 210pts.

For the second part No. Necron lord use the description of the Warscythe from the armoury which does not include "in built gauss blaster" so unfortunately, a necron lord with a warscythe looses the ablity to shoot.

 

[Alexander_67]

Its clarified in the online necron errata that a necron lord cannot shoot with a warscythe. Which was awesome because i could finally avoid getting staff of lighted.

 

[Pandawithissues...]

I could finally avoid getting staff of lighted.

Hazeldean been cheating again ?

 

[Deceiver]

Alexander67---but you have to worry about taking wounds with no save allowed period.

 

[Ordo Xeno Commander]

yes, but thats only if he gets close enough. just gun him down before you get to him

 

[Lord Sinkoran]

yes, but thats only if he gets close enough. just gun him down before you get to him

but being T5 and if hes sensibly used he (well it) will get into combat

 

[Ordo Xeno Commander]

well, in the approx 50 of times i faced a necron army last year he got into combat maybe 5-7 times. its just selective shooting, and it works.

 

[Deceiver]

the Lord will be in the middle of all those warrior squads due to the fact the res orb has a 6" range.
How will you be able to shoot him as he will not be the nearest target?
If he attatches to a squad ,then he will avoid being pie- plated.

 

[Ordo Xeno Commander]

because maybe he wasnt in the middle of the warriors, did you think about that. hes a lord on a destroyer body. he flies with the 2 heavy destroyers my friend has and i kill them then i kill him

 

[Deceiver]

waste to have lord fly around with 2 hvy destroyers and leave all the warrior squads unprotected. If have 2 lords then put 1 with the destroyers.
if have lord on destroyer body,you might as well arm him with a warscythe and go into cc.

 

[Ordo Xeno Commander]

meh, he has a monolith to go with the troops, so theres a deadly res-orb right there

 

[Deceiver]

the monolith will give a 2nd wbb roll when teleport thru BUT if they die to 2x tough or cc w/no armour save then they won't get it unless there was an orb within 6" to start. best to have lord amongst the warriors.

 

[Ordo Xeno Commander]

well thats his mistake :wink: making my job so much easier. still, he used to run the destroyers closer to his troops than he probably should

 

[jakkie]

where in teh Nec codex does it say that the lords warscythe doesnt have the built-in Guasse Blaster. i thoight that was just normal for a warscythe?

Where in the necron codex does it say that all warsythes have a built in Gauss Blaster? The rules tell us what you can do. If it doesnt say you can then you cannot.
