2k Necrons

Here’s my first stab at a Necron phalanx style army for 2k.

Destroyer Lord: 135
Ressurection Orb

20 Warriors: 260

20 Warriors: 260 + 105
Ghost Ark

5 Warriors: 65 + 130
Nightscythe

5 Warriors: 65 + 130
Nightscythe

2 Triarch Stalkers: 250

Destroyer Cult:

Destroyer Lord: 135
Ressurection Orb

3 Destroyers: 120

3 Destroyers: 120

3 Destroyers: 120

2 Heavy Destroyers: 100

I really like the Destroyer Cult’s special rule of basically getting shred on their guns.

Obvious plan is obvious. Put D Lords in with Warriors, keep Ghost Ark and Stalkers in range of them. Have Destroyers near by the stalkers too. Night Scythes help anti-air and objective grabbing. Just walk at the enemy and dare them to stop you.

Not married to anything yet, and I could easily drop the formation as it isn’t really helping me with defying the FOC. Obviously a unit of wraiths would be nice…

Can't do 5 warriors any more. Min squad is 10.

 

I'd look at the same thing, but with the Decurion Detachment.

 

You get +1 RP, Units within 12 of HQ get rerolls of 1 with RP and you can do the same thing but with

 

2x20 Warriors

 

5 immortals NS

5 Immortals NS

3 Tomb Blades

 

+1 RP is much better than one res orb and a character like zandrek will be more useful IMO.

For the Destroyer Cult don't you want the HVY Destroyers to be their own unit?

 

I'd find some points for a Orikan the Diviner or Illuminor Szeras or just some normal Crypteks for their 4+ boost to RP

 

Trim Warriors down a tad to find the points maybe?  If you are wanting that Destroyer Lord in your CAD and Formation (so 2) then I suggest Illuminor Szeras as he does the 4+ in a 6" bubble, not just to his unit.

Would love to, but they have to be normal destroyers, which I don't mind, honestly.

The D-Lords already kinda do that, but yeah, I can see that.

The other advantage of the D Lords is preferred enemy.  With the +1 to BS from the Stalkers, the Warriors (and the destroyers since they come with PE stock) are hitting on re-rollable 2s.  That's straight batty!  

 

Overall, after looking over the dex quite a bit, I think there are only a small number of turds (mostly just the monolith) and only one no-brainer unit (wraiths!).  

 

I'm just enamored of the idea of a bunch of walking warriors dealing death.

I think he means do 2 x 3 man Regular Destroyers, and 1 x 3 man Heavy Destroyer Squad. That fits the cult still, and will work better for shooting.

 

The formation requires 3 units of regular destroyers with at least 3 in the unit and CAN have 1 unit of heavy destroyers.  

 

 

 

Requirements: 1 Destoryer Lord, 3 Destroyer Units, 0-1 Heavy Destroyer Units

 

Restrictions: Each unit of Destroyers must consist of at least 3 models.

 

Special Rules: Move Through Cover

 

Fearsome Ruler: If this Formation is chosen as your Primary Detachment, you can re-roll the result when rolling on the Warlord Traits table in Codex: Necrons.

 

Extermination Protocols: All units in this Formation re-roll railed To Wound rolls and Armour Penetration rolls in the Shooting phase.

Yeah, what necrontyr said.  Also, I realize now that I misread res orbs!  I thought they made it 4+ RP, but they don't.  Been working at the Decurion to try and finagle a list I like with it.  Here's the framework for a different idea.  

 

Decurion Detachment:  
 
Reclamation Legion:
 
Nemesor:  150
 
20 Warriors:  260
 
10 Warriors:  130 + 105
  Ghost Ark
 
10 Warriors:  130 + 105
  Ghost Ark
 
5 Immortals:  85 + 130
  Nightscythe
 
5 Immortals:  85 + 130
  Nightscythe
 
3 Tomb Blades:  66
  Shieldvanes, Nebuloscope
 
3 Tomb Blades:  66
  Shieldvanes, Nebuloscope
 
Destroyer Cult:  
 
Destroyer Lord:  110
 
3 Destroyers:  120
 
3 Destroyers:  120
 
3 Destroyers:  120

  Ghost Ark

3 Destroyers:  120
 
3 Destroyers:  120
 
3 Destroyers:  120
