Kaldoth Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Holy crap... The Nightbringer. That is a ridiculous amount of wounds for a power that automatically goes off. The monolith having no ++ save is a bummer, but at least it's rocking a 2+ now. I need to watch the review as walls of text and my brain don't play nice, but are there any strats or auras that boost monolith survivability that anyone has seen? Still getting a save against AP-4 is nice enough, but I'm afraid the monolith is just gonna get shot to ribbons without some kind of way to give it damage mitigation.

01RTB01 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Iirc they have living metal for what it's worth. Also don't forget the monolith(s) will be firing too, get them before they get you :D 2 as flankers for the king could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'm liking the idea of a LoW 'fun' list, couple of Monoliths and a Tesseract roaming up the field. Any spare points could be invested in some cheap infantry or scarabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miek Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Well the chronomancer can give the monolith a 5++ if I'm not mistaken, that could make a significant difference. Hummmm... Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BolterZorro Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Any idea how to use the night scyth with his new transport capacity of 20 warriors? Is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM_TW Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm excited about the new stuff. I have a lot of old metal necrons (warriors, immortals and destroyers), hope to mix them up with several wraiths and a ccb/annbarge or 2. Maybe convert some plastic warriors to be used as deathmarks... Yeah, and then a metal deciever or nightbringer. That'll be nice :D Still no monolith for me. Didnt use it in 3rd/4th, wont use it now. I do like the new model but I'd be spending my money on other (necron?) stuff probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01RTB01 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Warriors £29 Skorpekhs £34.5 Hexmark £21 I don't know why they're priced quite so high... Indom really was a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 They are probably price high because Indomitus was a bargain. The new players have been hooked and now they can start to work that investment. Also Indomitus was a splash release, it doesn't represent the price that people would regularly be able to acquire those models at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardus Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Warriors £29 Skorpekhs £34.5 Hexmark £21 I don't know why they're priced quite so high... Indom really was a bargain Well the Warriors go from £25 for 12 Warriors and 3 Scarab swarms to £29 for 10 Warriors with "options" and 3 scarab swarms, so make what you will of that. The Hexmark is about par for characters in 8th/9th and the Skorpekhs, well a current destroyer squad is £30 so again make what you will of that.

BolterZorro Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Sooooo glad to have 3*indomitus necron for basically...free. At this rate, I think that I'll sell few characters and one reanimator to make some money back and buy few new options. The hex seems interesting (without being OP). Too bad that several (many) interesting minis are out of stock (stalker, wraiths, ...). I 'll have to wait a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I've got another Indomitus box on the way, I'm wondering if I can find a marine player who wants more Primaris because I kinda have enough for two medium sized armies at this point. I'd ideally like to convert some flayed ones and Immortals from more warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ynarritrash Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Still wish they would have updated the Lord and the lokhust destroyers tbh, seems a bit odd to leave the Lord in finecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandlemad Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 That's rough re: the new prices but I can't get over how good this piece of Trazyn on WHC is. They know that they have a fan favourite. Tyriks and NTaW 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 For the stateside folks: - 10 Warriors, 3 Scarabs (ETB): $45 - 3 Skorpekh Destroyers: $54 - Hexmark Destroyer: $35 CaptainFrederickson 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr4Minutes Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I’ll be picking up just one hexmark this weekend. I don’t think it’s terribly costed(in GW money terms) for a character model you’ll probably only need one of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't play marines, you can swap with someone who does. Sandlemad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrom Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The silent king is expensive but thats alright. I will get him on discount in a month or two when necron players will rage quit when their silent king and c'tan get repetitively deleted on turn two by primaris.

Captain Idaho Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 RE: Skorpech Destroyers I'm holding out hope they release a new set of models so I can get 6 that don't duplicate. Don't fancy my chances of converting the existing models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't fancy my chances of converting the existing models. I really don't think it's happening to be honest. I hung onto my second set in case there was a multi part kit coming. Fairly certain it isn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s terribly costed(in GW money terms) for a character model you’ll probably only need one of. He’s got a 12” IIRC, there’s a lot of things in this game that can turn him into spare parts at that range. Maybe he synergizes well with something else but I feel like he’s going to be a very short glass cannon who isn’t hard to convert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I love the Hexmark model too much to bother trying to convert one, but my approach to Necrons is definitely run by rule of cool Vardus, Mr4Minutes and Captain Idaho 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember because of how poorly it works with Mephrit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
