NTaW Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) NECRON UNIT OF THE WEEK SERIES Welcome to the Necron Unit of the Week series for 10th edition! Each week will see a different unit from the Codex, Imperial Armour, and Legends datasheets featured for discussion. The goal here is to discover and chronicle tactics for the featured unit so that new players and veterans alike can use this database to inform their strategies with the wider knowledge of the forum. The game of Warhammer 40,000 is ever changing though, and as the rules evolve throughout the edition everyone should feel free to return to older threads with the release of new FAQs/errata, changes in points values, information gathered from games played, and of course the Codex being released. These threads are also great places for newcomers to the Necrons to post their questions about tactics related to the featured units. Please note that the purpose of this series is not to lament what the current meta deems “ineffective”, or that another unit “does it better”. Those units will get their own threads. This week’s unit is: Canoptek Reanimator Do you take multiple Reanimators in your army? What unit do you try to keep them nearby to?

Spyros Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 With 12" range you 'll probably wont need more than one, provided you can keep it protected. In the few times I played with it, it was closer to units that terrain kept it safe.... When was the requirement for LOS introduced? I can't find it?

Hm, must have been a ghost in the machine when I was typing. I can't find it in any current document, so my apologies on the mistake.

JaM_TW Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 What would be nice as an addition to this series: a picture of said model, and maybe some pictures of models painted by members/fraters/... (put in the Necron equivalent). That being said: I dont have one.

Lord_Ikka Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Only played a couple of 10th ed games, taking a breather really, but I found the Reanimator much better than in 9th. The d3 extra Wounds per Reanimation really helped out in keeping a few key units (Warrior and/or Lychguard bricks) topped up and healthy. It also seems to be a little bit more durable, or at least it felt that way. It will never be really useful as anything other than a support piece, but for me I think it is well worth the price right now.

Malakithe Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Im questioning whether d3 wounds is worth 105pts or not Spyros 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380660-necron-unit-of-the-week-series-canoptek-reanimator/#findComment-5991868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoatibix Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 It’s a 12” aura. You should be getting at least two or three units in that range, possibly more. That sounds good value to me, but I don’t play Necron.

NTaW Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 The Reanimator got a little bit of a smack from the nerf bat with the Codex. Has the reanimation beam still been useful triggering RP rolls in games these days?

Tyriks Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I keep meaning to try it now, but it always ends up cut for something else. The range makes me worried it won't keep up since my Immortals tend to be my vanguard.
