40k More Games!

So got 2 more games in today at GW in thier campaign, the first game was against a Marine player.. nothing to write up here, never lost a model and well he never passed a save!

So I have 3 wins, but 2 wins allows you to go up to the next stage which is 500 points, so I found someone else who is also on 500 points and off we went!

He flooded the field with guardsmen, vets though and so had a lot of upgrades on them, I played 2 destroyers, a overlord and some immortals and warriors

Game ended with-

Both of us controlling a objective
Both slaying the warlord
But I got first blood!
So I win with 4 Warriors left on the field while he had 15ish vets, it was very close game, specially as my Immortals and Lord where cut down very early

But I bought my self some Tomb Blades and may use them next time I play, hopefully next week :)

Happy Gaming :)

40k: Necron Monolith painted! Well kind of.....

So I kind of painted my Necron Monolith I post up earlier, now dont forget I dont paint, and so it may look rubbish, but it will do me :)   So here it is!

I have not added the green rods and green door yet, but for now it shall do :) In till I get around to it :)

Happy Gaming :)

40K: Necron Monolith!

So, today I have a morning off work, (I have a poorly dog) but it is a good excuse to get some more painting done, so today's goal a Necron Monolith, I have 3 of these War machines, one is painted in my old scheme of red and silver, this one will be painted up with the new scheme of blue and well... silver! Updates in the next few days when its done :)

Its ready!

Happy Gaming :)

Warhammer 40k Necron Kill Team

So my Necrons came out for a walk today! For some 200 point kill team action, here was my list

7 Immortals
6 Warriors

So won my first game against a new player (Troy, yay :D)  He used the shops 10 Dark Angel Marines, so Plasma gun, Plasma Cannon and a Plasma Pistol.
With all the Plasma lying around I was quite worried, but in the end, I came out with only losing 1 Warrior!

Second game was vs Imperial Guard (Alex) he used 10 geared up storm troopers, now this game didnt take long, his weapons needing 5's to wound really caused him problems and again I lost just 1 Warrior (The same one again)

Last game I had time for was against Chaos
Now he had 5 Marines and as many Cultists as he could field, which meant I didnt have enough fire power to put them all down, but I had a good go. It came down to the wire and it was drawn at the end, I had 2 Immortals and 2 Warriors left, he had 1 Chaos Marine and 4-5 Cultists, so it was close and could of swung either way


But I am glad I have been able to get back into 40k now

I also picked up the Escalation book, which is now completely legal along side the normal rulebook, and apparently GW might start putting super Heavies into the new codex's in the future, so I might have to get myself a Necron super heavy! The only problem is, the other player bet of brought enough anti tank weapons! :)

Anyway happy gaming :)

Necrons

So as most people know, Necrons is my main army and has always been my favourite

So after spending another £100 on them (woops) and still more to come

I am almost finish my collection

Just a few more bits-

Nemesor Zahndrekh
Vargard Obyron

They are now the only two special characters I am missing!
Anyway also I want to get-

10 Flayed ones, ( I already have 10, but I want a unit of 20)
5 Deathmarks ( I have 5, but I want 10 lol)
1 annihilation barge ( I want 3 lol, so I need 1 more)

and I think that is it currently.

My current collection of Necrons looks like this (what I own)

Imotekh the stormlord
Illuminor Szweas
Orikan the Diviner
Anrakyr the Traveller
Trazyn the Infinite
2 Necron Overlords
1 Destroyer Lords

3 Necron Lords
5 Crypteks

100 Necron Warriors
10 Immortals with Tesla Cabines
10 Immortals with Guardd Blasters

2 Ghost Arks
1 Night Scythe

5 Deathmarks
7 Lychguards with Shields
5 Lychguards with warscythes ( bought these on monday)
5 Praetorians
1 C'Tan Shard
10 Flayed ones

3 Wraiths
20 Scarabs (ish anyway)
8 Necron Destroyers
4 Necron Heavy Destroyers

1 Doomsday ark
3 Necron Monoliths
1 Doom Scythe
2 Canoptek Spyders

I also have 2 command barges/ annihilation barges,  they can be either, 

Ghost Ark Review... Yes or no?

So yes or no to using Ghost arks? I have play tested one a couple of times (my second one is still in the box) and I say yes!

So postivies?
A transport that can shoot at two different targets and is also open topped? So the warriors or immortals inside can also shoot! So a shooting ark!
I use them to charge into the other players lines or to sit on a objective!
Broadside is nasty two targets that can take damage, and then the squad inside can shoot ethier :D
Strong armour while shielding is up and it is a fast moving transport!
So how I run them?

1 Ghost arks with two squads of 10 warriors, one inside one outside, the squad on the outside can be repaired every turn if they got shoot! So two squads and a ghost ark!

Disadvatages?
Can make the unit expensive, so in my case very expensive if you run it like I do!
13 is good but not great and also can be dropped to 11 very quickly!

Overall?
I like them! As soon as I get two made I will be running two most of the time! Good transport, open topped being the main advantage if you ask me, zoom and and shoot with everything!!

Update!

So after buying a box of deathmarks and Imotek, I am now finished with my bday money lol,

Also today I have just finished my doomsday ark, make the deathmarks and base coated Imotek! So busy day!

Next up I still got a ghost ark to build and Imotek to finish, and then on to painting the deathmarks!

Charging the Gunline!

So Next mission saw me play against Tau!

Mission basically is-

He starts on field all board except has to be at least 12 from 3 edges,

I split my army in 3, 1 bit comes in each turn from a different table edge each time, so he kept his at the back and I had a way to go! also 4 objectives were placed!

So after turn 3 it was close, all my stuff was in and we were all at short range fire fights, not much happening (only to find out he only had 2 troops) and turn 4 is when it started!

Combat happened everywhere locking a lot of his broadsides and battle suits!

My turn 5 was lucky, a veil of darkness moved a squad of immortals on a objectives, so 3 objecties I held, he held none!

His turn 5, he admiteed he was going to lose, so he chucked both troops and some battle suits at my immortals only for them to hold!

So final score

2-0 me and 1 contested by both of us!

Overall good game, good jokes about some bad dice roll!

So 3 wins out of 4, not bad I guess!

How did that happen!!

So after the first game against Tau was a win, I went in to play the second game!

Now the mission was ambush, So i set up within 6 inches of the middle line, and he can set up outside 12 inches, so bugger only 6 inches away, he was also Guard.. so lots of firepower! And to make it worst he is a good player and he gets the first turn...

Bye bye my Necrons!

Or not!

His first turn was terrible! Bad roles and not enough models to deal with my hoard, he took out about 3 warriors and 5 scarabs!.. so my turn. and being close works both ways, went on to take 1/3 to a 1/2 of his army out my first turn.

So guess the result?

Yep wiped him out turn 4, with a good half my army left, good game and really happy with the result

Start as you mean to go on!

Yep good start yesterday with a win against my brother Tau

Tbh his shooting was terrible, and to make it worse he seemed to just shoot warriors and not scarabs, barges, lords or immortals, which destroyed his army.

By the end of it he had about 200 points left while I had only lost 200 points ish, so a good result I believe.

O well guard next in a few weeks! This one I am going to struggle against!

So I will try it out tonight before confirming it, but could be interesting!

Necrons Vs Marines, DRAW AGAIN!

O well, a draw again lol thats 4 draws and 1 win out of 5 games.. lol I guess thats all right lol

So idea is to blow the other players objective up, so the first one to do it wins!, but neither of us did it!

Well I took out most of his force, he had 4 marines left lol,

but my immortals were a turn out of planting the bomb!

Positives-

Annihilation barges again worked well, I had two

Destroyers did well to, taking out 50% of squads out easily

Destroyer Lord and Praetorians worked very well, taking out two squads of marines

Triarch Stalker took out a pred and a land speeder

Negatives-

H destroyers did bugger all

Overall-

Warriors and immortals did their job, except immortals were to slow lol! night syche next time!

Scarabs were disappointing this game, but they did lower the land raiders armour down so a annihilation barge wrecked it!

O well another draw!

Grey Knights Against Necrons

Well well, Grey Knights... may not be many of them, but it didn't mater, they just took squad after squad in combat.. in combat his turn 2, thanks to assault transports, and bang!
Lynch guard with lord wipe out in one round of combat, and it continued for the whole game.

Result- Draw... Dont ask, he had most of his armies left, I had a Destroyer Lord that kept standing back up, last turn he shot me, killed me, I stood up, assaulted me killed me, I stood up to contest the objective lol!

Positive-

Destroyer Lord with mind shackle, on his own took out a squad of terminators, and drew me the game, going to put wraiths in with this guy next time

Scarabs once again! has two squads of 5, but going to take one big squad of 10 next game, as I want more destroyers.

Destroyers, didn't do much, but they felt good to be using them again, I will be taking two squads next game.

Negatives-

Lychguard smashed in combat even with the shields.

Overlord still not working for me

Other-

Warriors and immortals got murdered but they held better then the lych guard because of numbers.

Worst game I have had with annihilation barges, both losing weapons on his turn 1, but still did well for 90 points!

Overall I hate grey knights, I was out played and grey knights all with force weapons is nasty!

1750!

Sorry about the blue, I copied it straight from 40k forums as I put it there first!

1750 Necron, Against All comers V2

So here is the next list, as the first one failed horribly

HQ

Destroyer Lord (with the praetarians)
Mindshackle Scarabs
Resurrection Orb

Elites

5 Praetarians

1 Stalker (centre of warriors)

Troops

10 Warriors

10 Warriors

10 Warriors

10 Warriors

10 Immortals

Fast

3 Heavy Destroyers

6 Scarabs

6 Scarabs

Heavy

Annihilation Barge

Annihilation Barge

So what do people think? Mass firepower with some heavier stuff in there! Next game vs Grey Knights but the list has to take on all comers!

Necron Warriors Vs Space Marines

Better then a space marine? I don't know but maybe!

They have a solid baseline except they are I2 and 4+ save, so already worth 13 points instead of 16?

They gun is better..

Yes it has the same strength ap and stuff as a bolt gun but it has gauss with is awesome against armour, with the glancing rule!

And now I believe they are worth their points...

BUT!! You can have squads of 20? awesome if you want a mob!

But what they have which Marines don't is the reanimation! I know its only on a 5+ but I bet Marines wish they had it, 1 in every 3 warriors standing back up? Awesome

I believe that warriors are better then the average space marine, even though a marine will win in combat, a Necron is better overall for its points cost!!

So more warriors for me!

Necron Practice Game 2

Well so up against chaos this, he had a mix of nurgle and khorne and all mechanized! well it was a nice little win, (I lost 3 Pratorions and all 10 scarabs) and he lost almost everything!

Hmm right I did change list and tried out Imotekh (and he was useless like I thought)

Pros-

3 Annihilation barges killed most things including armour from side of rear, this things are awesome at 90 points

Cryteks with eldritch lance were awesome,l with there range shoot

2x5 scarabs, they destroyed a vindicator, knocked a land raider down to 12 armour (which a tesla then destroyed, and then just tired up marines, so overall these guys easily made their points back, just awesome might field 20 next week!

Pretorions, well not worth 200 points, but they held well in a close combat, but only having 1 attack slowed them down, but they did their job I guess, I like them!

Cons-

Imotekh was useless, never killed anything by hand or lightning and night fighting only hindered me, only use I see for this guy is against Guard or Tau, but I am looking for a all comers list, so nope not good enough and defo not worth his points!

About it

I also had 40 warriors and 10 immortals in my list running around shooting stuff, and had 3 H.destroyers which blow up a vindicator except from that nothing else, but they are still a good method of anti tank!

So overall easy win, and a few changes to the list for next week!
