NTaW Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 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: Trazyn the Infinite Which unit are you attaching Trazyn to? How useful has the Ancient Collector ability been? Do you bring along a Cryptek with the unit? Have you ever made use of the Surrogate Host ability?

NTaW Posted November 2 Author Share Posted November 2 I could see some use for Trazyn in a Hypercrypt Legion. Being able to jump around from objective to objective, all the while leaving them captured, could be useful. There's also the Awakened Dynasty and it's Veil of Darkness enhancement, but then it's one use and costs 20 points.

Tawnis Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 I want Trazyn to be at least decent so badly, he's my favourite character, but 75 points is SO much for essentially just getting obsec. Personally, I think it would be really cool if Trazyn had the ability that when you picked him, you could take one (non-epic Hero) unit from any codex to add to your army (which you would of course also have to pay the points for). It would have to start in reserve and you'd have to deploy it within 9" of Trazyn. You can balance it by tweaking Trazyn's points, and while I doubt it would be super strong, it would at least be much more fun and flavourful for casual games.

casb1965 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 It's a little more than just obsec, the ability to leave an objective and retain control allows you to complete other game objectives with that unit rather than being to the objective.

I have been playing Awakened since 10th came out and have not had much success with it, I'm switching to Hypercrypt and hoping Trazyn will fit into my list and be of some benefit N1SB 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384449-necron-unit-of-the-week-series-trazyn-the-infinite/#findComment-6078232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SB Posted Friday at 03:10 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:10 AM I had this craaazy idea of fielding Trazyn the Infinite with a Transcendant C'tan that represents that perfect clone of Fulgrim he keeps in his museum. I was going to use that AoS Sigvald, but he was already pretty Slaaneshi. I haven't figured it out yet. I might just wait until EC comes out, but I dunno.
