Mirk Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I am in the process of starting a Necrons army but I am concerned about the slow movement rates and if I need a few ghost arcs. I need a 1000 point army to start. Do I need transport? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349062-dedicated-transport/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 You should get one at least. They are actually not very good as transports (all of our options have major downsides) but they are a strong utility vehicle with the resurrection aura.

Mirk Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thank you for that. I will slot one in. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349062-dedicated-transport/#findComment-5129141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 They also have the firepower of a squad of warriors. Solid choice, they are. A better transport transport is the Night scythe, though at the same time it’s not a proper ‘transport’ so much as it is a mechanism to ignore the 9” restriction on deep strike, plus their twin Tesla destructor. Use it to deliver your choice of unit (Lychguard, flayed ones, praetorians, etc) into rapidfire/charge distance. Whatever you decide, welcome to the Dynasties, Mirk! We’re pleased to have you. Good luck with your army! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349062-dedicated-transport/#findComment-5129232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The Ghost Ark looks great I just wish building it didn't mean you weren't building a Doomsday Ark :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349062-dedicated-transport/#findComment-5129249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirk Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Thank you for being so welcoming. Unlike the ultramarines crowd. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349062-dedicated-transport/#findComment-5129804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf33 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I have a swappable Ghost Ark/Doomsday Ark on my to do list. I intend to follow this process: http://www.idicbeer.co.uk/2012/04/how-to-magnetising-necron-ghostdoomsday.html?m=1 except rather than putting the Gauss Flayers on magnets, I'll just cut the blades off so they don't have an obvious right way up.

If I get a second one, I'm magnetizing for sure, but I think I'll just magnetize the guys and the gun. I don't really like the doomsday ark's "proper" orientation because it just looks upside down. Also, it'll be a lot easier to magnetize! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349062-dedicated-transport/#findComment-5132950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it'll be a lot easier to magnetize! I was toying with magnetizing mine so that the ribs always faced up, but then the front piece of the model blocks the line of sight of the cannon. I was really looking forward to always being able to see the fancy details on my doomsday cannon but then didn't really like how it looked without the prow. I look forward to seeing what you come up with whenever you start that project up. At first I was going to go off magnetizing it but then I decided it may be cheaper and less time consuming to just buy a second model given the number and variety of magnets involved :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349062-dedicated-transport/#findComment-5132974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
