Arbiter7 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hi everyone! As many of you I am sure, I got a copy of Indomitus and am on undecided whether I keep the Necrons or not. Its such a good deal! My question is, does what comes in the box constitute a good starter ? What would one seek to buy next, aiming for say for a 1k to 1.5k army? Thanks!

My question is, does what comes in the box constitute a good starter ? What would one seek to buy next, aiming for say for a 1k to 1.5k army? Thanks! Well....If you want to go to one 1k, you build the box and paint it. No, seriously. Indomitus is 995 points of Necrons :lol: To get to 1.5k.... That's on the other Necron players to tell you, but Indomitus is all you need for a 1k army Arbiter7 and Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365453-indomitus-as-a-starter/#findComment-5571594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 It's a great starter for a Necron army just because of the amount of plastic & variety of units you get for the price. Probably best to wait to expand it beyond 1k until the codex & other shiny units draw closer Arbiter7 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365453-indomitus-as-a-starter/#findComment-5571605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Indomitus is indeed an excellent source of Necron models (myself having just picked one up yesterday), but it is unfortunately not able to be fielded all at once except in an unbound detachment or a double patrol, as there are too many HQ's to make it work otherwise, or without a lot more troops choices. Not to worry, though, Indomitus is a great core start, with some good close-in punch and durability, as well as some paint scheme variety potential. If you feel like getting them painted in the next couple of months, my fellow Moderatii NTaW is running an event to paint up your Necrons, the Royal Awakening, which I encourage everyone to participate in. As a note of inquiry, where are you getting the 995 point value from, Gederas? I've not been able to find it.

Debauchery101 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I have 2 sets of indomitus necrons. Including illuminor szeras and 3 full scarab units. What should I get first to expand on what I have? I was thinking maybe heavy destroyers or wraiths Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365453-indomitus-as-a-starter/#findComment-5575228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Both are good choices but take a good look at the tomb blades. They're fairly durable. Also the triarch praetorians, this is a unit that is scarey, still. They work really good and their weapon is great for both cc and shooting. Ultimately, mixing in with the new stuff is a hard choice. Mine is praetorians. Let us know what you decide, either way you can't go wrong.

I was thinking maybe heavy destroyers or wraiths I would hold off on heavy destroyers for now, there are new models coming. Safe additions to what Indomintus gives you would be: Tomb Blades, Wraiths, Triarch Stalkers, Ghost Arks, and Doomsday Arks. Those are all models we can safely bet are not getting redone and would add to what you've already go nicely.

NTaW Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Same for Doom/Night Scythes, they're "safe" buys too. I'll second holding off on HDs for now unless you absolutely love the old kits. The new Lokhust Heavy Destroyers will undoubtedly replace them.

Karhedron Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Seeing as Indomitus gives you 2 units of 10 Warriors, getting a squad of Immortals is not a bad choice as you then have 3 Troops units which gives you a legal Battalion. They are not among the really old Necron units and probably won't be replaced anytime soon. It might be worth waiting until the new Codex comes out before deciding whether to build them with Gauss or Tesla though. Beyond that, Tomb Blades are very good (Basically 2 Immortals strapped together on a rocket ). Wraiths are good certainly as are Destroyers, maybe hold off the Heavy Destroyers until the new models come out (undoubtedly with new rules).

Mandragola Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 It seems I have a decent amount of necrons to start with by combining Indomitus with the stuff from Forgebane, which has been in its box for years. I've now built the Immortals so that I have a third troop choice and the Cryptek because he's quite fun. I might hold off on building the Wraiths and elite guys till I see the codex, as I don't know which weapons etc. I'll want. There's plenty I could paint before then anyway.

Get Thokt Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Speaking of Tomb Blades. Does anyone else think they'll go down to 6 models in a unit? With new RP, they could be very tough in the current unit size, maybe a bit too tough for GWs liking.

I was under the assumption from them that 6 man units was a thing. If not i think the 5 to 6 model in a unit seems sound. Just because the flyer and fallback and shoot is nerfed. Theres a lot of fast snaring units to look out for Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365453-indomitus-as-a-starter/#findComment-5575878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 What solidified starting the necrons as an army based on one Indomitus lot for me was seeing the new Monolith. Gotta get me one of those. And one or two Croissants at some point. A third troop, so immortals probably. Ghost ark maybe? Dunno what else really. I know very little about the army, so I'm mostly just going by visuals and stuff.
