At the beginning of the movement phase my two Land Raider moved 12" onto the table toward the other mission target. The Rhinos moved also 12" ahead. The Crusader killed two Necron Warriors from the first squad. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2069.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2071.jpg Turn 1 Necrons: The rest of the Necron army appeared. The second Monolith was still in reserve. My opponent took up a defensive position around his mission target (at the bottom of the tower) The first Monolith fired at Morkai´s Fury and destroyed the stormbolter http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2070.jpg Turn 2 SW: I moved both Rhinos and the Crusader 12" ahead. The Land Raider moved 6" ahead and fired both LasCannons at the 1st Monolith but did nothing. The Crusader fired his Assault Cannons once again at the 1st Necron Warrior squad and killed another one. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2072.jpg Turn 2 Necrons: The second Monolith appeared near my mission target. My opponent teleported the 1st Warrior squad through the 2nd Mono. The 1st Mono fired at my LRC and destroyed it. The BC climed, under the fire of the Destroyer Lord, the Immortals and the 1st Detroyer squad, out of the wreck. Two off the BC died at the attempt. The heavy Destroyers fired at the LR and destroyed one LasCannon. The second Rhino lost his Stormbolter and was destroyed completly in CC by the Wraiths. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2073.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2074.jpg Turn 3 SW: The LR turned right toward the 2nd Mono and the 1st Warrior squad. Wolf Lord Dragongaze and his WGs stormed out off the LR to face the Warriors. The BC under the lead of WG Gunnar moved closer to the 1st Destroyer squad. GH pack Jurgen took aim at the Wraiths and shot dow two off those abominations with their Meltas. GH pack Olaf opened fire at the 2nd Warrior pack and killed 3. In CC they killed the remaining 8 Warriors. Pack Jurgen tried to kill the last Wraith in CC but failed. The BCs moved in for the kill and brought down two of the Destroyers of the 1st squad. The Wolf Lord and the WG ripped nine Warriors off the 1st squad into pieces forceing the last one to flee from the table. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2078.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2079.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2077.jpg Turn 3 Necrons: The 2nd Mono fired at the WL and WG and brought down the Lord and 3 off the WG. The Destroyer Lord and the Immortals killed 5 BC and the last Wraith killed one GH off Pack Jurgen. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2083.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2084.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2085.jpg Turn 4 SW: Pack Olaf and the BC fired at the Destroyer Lord and the Immortals. My opponent decided to take the hits on his Lord who took two wounds. During the CC phase the BC killed 4 off the Immortals and pack Jurgen ripped the last Wraith into pieces. The Necrons phased out. I keep the enemy away from my mission target and was able to control the other with the BC. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/BatReps/DSCF2087.jpg Victory for the Space Wolves. For Russ! For the Emperor. It was an interesting fight. My opponent was very lucky that i missed so many attacks in CC. Otherwise the game would have ended in Turn 3. My biggest problem had been the lack of more LasCannons. The Chainfist and the meltas had not been very effective against the Monos. The Necrons themself had been no match for the packs.

Dark Bjoern Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Not really. Monos are expensive, that means less points for other units. That makes it easier to let them phase out.

Hfran Morkai Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Do mine eyes deceive me or do I see two Land Raiders? One of which happens to be a pre-heresy pattern? Good work brother!

No, your eyes didn´t deceive you. I used one Crusader and one pre-heresy LR.

40k Junkie Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have two armies. Necrons and Space Wolves and though I happy for your Victory brother wolf, your choice of opponents like like being a bully at school picking on the kid three grades under you. NECRONS ARE DEAD IN 5th Everyone should just accept it and start the other army. Even though he has tried to adapt better by bringing as much T5 as he could (Yes the two monaliths was bad) That more heavy Destroyers and Tomb Spyders.

jimmyjames2112 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I also have retired my Necrons. but 2 Monoliths are really the only way to go. i Personally think you need to run as many warriors as possible. but alas. CC will still always own the necrons. (thats why you need 2 monoliths.. 75% chance to WWB is the only real saving grace the Necrons have. I was sad to have gone from a Necron army of a 65% win ratio to feeling pretty proud to draw a match O.o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183561-first-blood-with-the-new-%C2%B4dex/#findComment-2172274 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word around the local game shop is that the Necrons will be getting their new 'dex sometime in 2010. We as Wolves know how that goes, though. But I digress... Congratulations on the win, brother! Pull up a seat by the fire and have an ale!
