Lord Hanaur Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I hope someone read the whole thing and tried to break it like some on forums will, just so they catch all the lingo shenanigans before it gets to us. I freaking hate some of the rules discussions. Just ONE codex with absolutely clear meanings that no ass hole can misinterpret to everyones chagrin. Just one. Is that too much to want?

pretre Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Mischaracterizing people as assholes because they have a different interpretation of the rules than you makes me think that you might be applying the label incorrectly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 This is from the new White Dwarf. The Decurion Detachment is a new way of organizing Necrons. Formations are broken down into three groups, Command, Core, and Auxiliary. Command Royal Court (0-1 per Reclamation Legion) *1 Overlord/ Imotekh *1-3 Lords *1-3 Crypteks Core Reclamation Legion 1+ *1 Overlord *0-2 Lychguard *1-4 Immortals *2-8 Necron Warriors *1-3 Tomb Blades *0-3 Monoliths Auxiliary 1-10 choices per Reclamation Legion Destroyer Cult *Destroyer Lord *3 Destroyers *0-1 Heavy Destroyers Judicator Battalion *1 Triarch Stalkers *2 Triarch Praetorians Annihilation Nexus *2 Annihilation Barges *1 Doomsday Ark Flayed Ones *1 Flayed Ones Deathmarks *1 Deathmarks Canoptek Harvest *1 Canoptek Spyder *1 Canoptek Wraiths *1 Canoptek Scarabs Star-God *1 C'tan Shard of the Deceiver, Nightbringer, Transcedent C'tan, or Tesseract Vault Living Tomb *1 Obelisk *0-2 Monoliths Deathbringer Flight * 2-4 Doom Scythes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aventine Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Very interesting that. Sure to get people to pick up some new models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Core Reclamation Legion 1+ *1 Overlord *0-2 Lychguard *1-4 Immortals *2-8 Necron Warriors *1-3 Tomb Blades *0-3 Monoliths The only part I don't like about the above is the minimum 1 Tomb Blades...I don't own any of those...

WestRider Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 It does seem like an interesting way of organizing an Army, if rather inflexible. Which I guess suits Necrons to a certain extent. Have to see what the specific Unit Rules end up being to see how much of each sub-formation is a tax. Also, it kind of bugs me that they're using a personal title (Decurion) as a term for a large Unit. And one that isn't even organized into 10s at that :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah, it makes them a little unique (if inflexible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm confused, isn't this the standard CAD-like Detachment that have come with all 7th ed books so far? Couldn't one still run Necrons in a CAD and not worry about Tomb Blades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Relentless rule lets you move and shoot with heavy weapons, which is a big advantage. Except that Necrons don't have any heavy weapons, so we realize that it is actually a really [big bad swear word]ty thing to give them. But.. uh... it lets you assault? Yeah. Yeah! You should definitely assault those Space Marines with your Necrons, I bet that will work out really well for you. Forge a Narrative (by losing to the goodguy armies)!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Eh, "[big bad swear word]ty"? I wouldn't go that far, I'd say, very rarely useful. Much like how space wolves have acute senses. Doesn't come up all the time, but useful when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 As an example. Say you need to clear off a unit of gretchin from an objective. Previously, you'd have to choose whether to shoot or assault. Now you can do both. Plenty of times a follow up assault is nice to be able to do.

winterman Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Community has issues with Escalation and allowing superheavies in regular games -- GW releases Imperial Knights, a codex of just super heavies. Community has issues allowing multiple detachments in games -- GW releases Necrons, an army designed around multiple detachments. It will be interesting to see if this shakes up the limits imposed by the big events. I know it's got me thinking about it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 The tournament on Feb 21st will allow up to three detachments so we are going to see how that goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like how space wolves have acute senses. Doesn't come up all the time, but useful when needed. It's better than not having a rule, yes. But on the spectrum of special rules from the base book you could've given them as part of the formation, it's only marginally more useful than Acute Senses is. And, if it wasn't clear, I was paraphrasing the text from GW's own description of the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, wasn't there some GW poster or something (that people used to try and make the KFF a 4+ save) that descirbed Necron Warriors as good at melee? Maybe GW truly believes they are? GW be cray-cray, yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
