Necron Unit of the Week Series: Imotekh the Stormlord

[NTaW]

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:

Imotekh the Stormlord

 

Which unit do you most often attach Imotekh to and why?

What Detachment are you using when you use Imotekh?

How useful has the Lord of the Storm ability been?

Do you back Imotekh up with a Cryptek or Royal Warden?

Has Imotekh been useful shooting or in combat?

I like him imbedded in a larger squad of Warriors... I know it's boring, but he's gotta live, and he's not a beatstick, and provides a CP for me throughout the game. 

 

His once per game ability is alright, but requires you to get close with him which is a secondary reason why I keep him in Warriors.
