Necron heavy firepower options...


Beatnik cryptek

Recommended Posts

Birthday coming up. May get some necron evilness for it. 

 

Options:

 

Destroyers.  Could get 6. Could use as 2 3 man squads for 2 HD's or 1 6 man squad to make it harder to kill off.  Good heavy firepower and mobility , but a small unit that is a bomb magnet.   Need to have a cryptek tag along to give 5++ save and boost to RP. 

Doomsday arks.  Could get 2. Doomsday cannon is a S10 ap 5 d6 dam "XXXX YOU!!! " to hard targets,  gauss flayer arrays good against hordes.  Could only  get 2 tho...  

Stalker.  Gives other units a reroll of 1's on shooting after it fires whether it hits or not.  Twin heavy gauss cannon  is a double barreled  "XXXX YOU!!! " to hard targets. One or two models at most tho,  and a target priority.... 

Maybe one stalker and one DDA?  Could use CP to boost both units Quantum armor....

Destroyers: Run them in a unit of 6 for best effect, Cryptek is nice but not necessary. I converted two Heavies but almost never play them since they don't pull their weight when I do. Maybe if I made a third one I'd play a full unit but attached to my Destroyer squads (3/1 split) or in a unit of two just hasn't been cutting it for me.

 

Doomsday Ark: Two is better than one, three is overkill unless you face Knights all the time or really want to fill a Spearhead Detachment.

 

Stalker: I play mine because I think it's a cool model, in game it either buffs my Warriors or is the focus of my enemy's attacks. Both of which are satisfactory but nothing stellar ever comes of the model.

 

I play a Stalker and DDA together in my lists because I have those models, it isn't a bad choice but two of either I think would be more competitive overall. I don't play in tournaments but most the people I game with do and I can keep pace with most their lists provided they don't go full competitive on me.

I use 6 destroyers and a DDA. Both solid units that pull their weight through dakka or taking shots. I play Sautek. So the DDA has become a mobile gunship with its 20 gauss shots if need be. Which is surprisingly effective

ooOOooooo if you want to spice in some talk about Codes for these units: Mephrit (Extermination Protocols + Talent For Annihilation) or Nephrekh (Translocation Crypt for safekeeping T1) Destroyers and Nihilakh DDAs (re-roll 1s when immobile is very useful). I'll straight play my DDA in an Auxiliary Detachment just for the Code (same for my Doom Scythe, though that gets Sautekh).

Now there's a damn good post that I:'m going to start a thread on!
