Naminé Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hello Brothers! Just thought I'd tell you about my latest batrep, which involves thunderfire cannons, annihilation barges, night scythes and one extremely lucky Techmarine! Praetorian Marines vs. Necrons (Posted on my blog due to the presence of a few pictures :P) Let me know what you think, and thanks for reading!

Kierdale Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 A very entertaining read, Namine. Congratulations in the win. You've got to love Thunderfire cannons, haven't you? Almost tempted to buy a second one...

Almost tempted to buy a second one... haha yes, I totally felt the same way after this fight. I'd be tempted to field 3 in 2000 point games, so that there was still the 3 Heavy support slots left for other tanks, or maybe with several dedicated transport razorbacks using TL lascannons.

spartan249 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Anti-Air is essential for tournament play, as I think you've seen for yourself from this fight. A Bastion is a cheap option, as is an Aegis Defense Line. The Bastion could be especially deadly as the Thunderfire Cannon could post on top and have that commanding field of view (devastators if the TFC can't fit). Necron fliers aren't too bad to fight off since they're AV11 and only have tesla destructors. Doom Scythes always take priority over Night Scythes, of course, but a Quad-gun in conjunction with aerial support of your own never hurts.

Thanks for that assessment; What is funny is that the day after this game I went and bought an imperial bastion! So I seem to have taken your advice, in advance ;) In fact, I have asked for army list critique on my tournament list over in the relevant section of the BnC, so I would appreciate it if you took a look over there too :eek That said, I am going to re-evaluate the list I posted, based on the results of another game I played today (Batrep coming soon). I had the same exact thoughts as you, thunderfire on the top, though I will need to see if there is room. Finding some points for telion on top would be nice too! I do have aerial support on the way, but honestly, it will not be ready for the tournament due to real life commitments (and wanting to finish other things first :o) Thanks for reading and commenting! It is very much appreciated Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264610-space-marines-vs-necrons-1500-points/#findComment-3226934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
