As I mentioned in my first post, I’m starting Necrons. There
are 3 main reasons for this:
1: I want a new army.
2: I want an army that can hold it’s own on the
tourney scene.
3: They aren’t Eldar or Tau.
I love my Daemons but I have been playing them almost
constantly for the last 3 years. I have played my Deathwing for a bit during
that time but they are just a bit of fun really. As for point number 2, I might
be fairly new to the 40k competitive scene but I want a decent chance of not
getting utterly trashed at a tourney. The reason for me not wanting Eldar or
Tau are a combination of the fact they are rampant at my club (and I here they
are like rats, pretty much everywhere) and that I can never really find a list I
like the look of.
So Necrons then right? I like their fluff and look. The
whole Stargate type thing and the very Macbeth story of their tragic rise to
power appeals to me. I’ve borrowed a friend’s codex and I’ll be looking
through it over the next few weeks looking for units to catch my attention.
A few units grab my attention. Nightscythes, Deathmarks and
Wraiths all look awesome, they will all definitely find a way into my lists.
They also happen to be 3 of the best things in the book, lucky me right? As for
a HQ, I’m looking at Nemesor Zandrehk. This dude is the daddy of the Necron
special characters, yes, even better than Imotehk and his gimmicky lightning
trick. He can dish out any one of a bunch of special rules to a friendly unit,
of particular note is Stealth and Tank Hunter. Stealthed Warriors? Tank Hunting
Annihilation Barges? Yes please! The flip side of this is that he can strip
certain special rules from enemy units. Again, stealth is a big one here.
Doomsday Arks on the other hand seem to be awful in
comparison to the other Heavy Support choices. A skimmer that can’t move
because it will make it’s gun weak? Not that a single str 9 template is
anything to write home about, especially when it costs 185 points.
I’m going to keep looking at the book and lurking on some
forums and put a list together. I’m really quite excited for this. I’ve not
built a brand new army in a while.
