New necrons codex

[nubitron9000]

While I agree with MSS needing to be fixed, I feel like there were other ways to change it and make it in keeping with how it works currently. Maybe do 2d6 + 2 -LD... or maybe it just does 1 attack to yourself...or maybe it works like the old broodlord power and they don't do anything... or maybe you fail and go to Initiative/WS 1 so we could hit first.... just some thoughts. Fear just seems so pointless. It may just be my local meta, but it RARELY comes up because of ATSKNF and a variety of fearless units

[requizen]

Hey Jackedup, thanks again for all this!

Just a couple more questions:

1) Other than the extra Wound and Strength and move to Heavy Support, is there anything different about the Transcendent C'Tan as opposed to the two Shards?

2) What are the special rules for Obyron and Trayzn?

Edit: And as others have said, what are the stats for standard Warscythes now?

[jackedup]

Okay, I am gonna try and answer a whole bunch of questions at once. For starters, I am gonna post some stats. Let's start with...

The Necron Characters -

Nemesor Zahndrekh (150 pts)

WS5 BS5 S5 T5 W3 I2 A3 Ld10 Sv.2+

Staff of Light, Phase shifter

IC, Reanimation Protocols (RP), Eternal Madness Trait

Adaptive Tacticcs: May select a different Warlord Trait for him (no D6 roll needed) at start of each friendly turn after the first. May also select traits from the BRB. He cannot choose the same trait more than once per game.

Counter Tactics: When within 24" of enemy units with the following special rules: Counter attack, furious charge, hit & run, split fire, stealth, tank hunters - then Zahndrekh and his unit have the same special rules.


Vargard Obyron (120 points)

WS6 BS4 S5 T5 W2 I2 A3 Ld10 Sv.2+

Warscythe

IC, RP

Vargard's Duty: Auto passes Init. test for glorious intervention

Cleaving Counterblow: When in a challenge, gains a bonus attack for each attack made by enemy character that fails to hit. Attacks are made at Init 1 step and does not grant additional pile in move

Illuminor Szeras (110 points)

Lord of Technomancy: This model and all friendly models with RP within 6" get +1 to RP rolls

(To be Continued)

Does quantum shielding just work against shooting attacks?

[necrondj]

Quantum shielding rear armor?

[jackedup]

Orikan the Diviner (120 points)

WS4 BS4 S4 T4 W2 I2 A2 Ld10 Sv.4+

(Orikan Empowered) WS5 BS5 S7 T7 W4 I4 A4 Ld10 Sv.4+

Phase Shifter, Staff of Tomorrow: S:User, AP2, Melee, Chronoblade (re-roll to hit rolls in assault)

Master Chronomancer: Model and all models in same unti get +1 to RP rolls, and re-roll armour saves of 1

The Stars are Right: Roll D6 at start of each friendly turn. If result is less than current turn number, Orikan uses his Empowered profile for rest of game. If he suffers a wound before becoming empowered, he has 3 wounds instead of 4 when empowered.

(For Anrakyr, see earlier in the thread)

Trazyn the Infinite (130 points)

WS5 BS5 S5 T5 W3 I2 A3 Ld10 Sv.3+

Empathic Obliteration: S+2, AP4, Melee, Concussive, Psionic Shockwave: if a character is slain in a challenge by this weapon, all models within 6" of the character with the same faction (friend or foe) suffers a S4, AP- hit.

IC, RP, Enduring Will Trait

Surrogate Hosts: If Trazyn is removed as a casualty, roll a D6. On a 2+, choose another friendly, non unique Cron infantry character to be removed instead. Trazyn takes its place with D3 wounds remaining. If it was locked in assault, Teazyn is as well. If there are no available targets or a 1 is rolled, Trazyn is removed as a casualty.

Imotekh the Stormlord (190 points, LORD OF WAR)

WS5 BS5 S5 T5 W3 I2 A3 Ld10 Sv.2+

Gauntlet of Fire, Phase Shifter, Staff of the Destroyer: 18", S6 AP2, Assault 3

IC, RP, It will not die, Hyperlogical Strategist trait

Bloodswarm Nanoscarabs: Flayed Ones can re-roll scatter dice when deep striking

And them's the characters!

- For the Ctan, does it say if the powers of the ctan are limited to being used once per shooting phase? I'm wondering since they are monstrous creatures and MCs can shoot two weapons per shooting phase if they can make two rolls on the chart or if the Powers of the Ctan are considered one weapon.

- Also is there any mention if Crypteks and Necron Lords can be taken more than just one per slot, such as "if you take an Overlord you may take 1-x amount of Crypteks or 1-x amount of Necron Lords?

Thank you for taking the time to do this as well jackedup.

It does not say they are limited to using it once per shooting phase.

The Reclamation Legion allows for 1 Overlord. In addition, you can take ONE Royal Court Formation per Reclamation Legion, which lets you take: 1 Overlord (or Imotekh), 1-3 Lords, 1-3 Crypteks.

[trio]

First of all i really want to say thank you
i would like to ask you:
is tesla destructor still assault 4 Fo 7 vp - ?
is there any haywire?
are wraith really T5 save 4++?
do any unit other than warriors have the ghost ark as dedicated transport?
is the Royal court formation a single unit or you can split them?

[Megad00mer]

Are Wraiths and Triarch Praetorians still Jump Infantry? Just wondering about the logistics of putting a Destroyer Lord, which is now a Jet Pack unit, with a unit of Jump Infantry.

Thanks so much for this. You're a hero.

[jackedup]

Aggk. So many questions. Okay all at once, and if I missed you out please buzz me.

1) For those asking about how many Lords, Crypteks, etc. you can take:

The Reclamation Legion formation allows for 1 Overlord. In addition, you can take ONE Royal Court Formation per Reclamation Legion, which lets you take: 1 Overlord (or Imotekh), 1-3 Lords, 1-3 Crypteks.

2) Regarding the Destroyer Lord: 110 points, WS4 BS4 S5 T6 W3 I2 A3 Ld10 Sv.3+, Staff of Light, IC, RP, Preferred Enemy, and he can take the same upgrades regular Cron lords can.

3) I made a serious mistake with Quantum Shielding, many apologies. The vehicle counts as AV13 on the Front and Side, *not all around* as I claimed earlier.

4) There are significant differences between the three C'Tan Shards. What they have in common are Eternal Warrior, the powers of the C'Tan shooting, Necrodermis (4+ invuln and inflict a S4 AP1 hit for everyone within D6" when it dies) Fearless, and immunity to natural law (treat all terrain as open ground). Other than that:

Nightbringer (240 points, Elite)

WS6 BS4 S7 T7 W4 I4 A4 Ld10. Sv4+

Fleshbane, Gaze of Death: In addition to shooting Powers of the C'tan, can target one non-vehicle enemy within 12" and in LOS. Unit takes wounds of 3D6 - Ld, resolved at AP2 and Ignores Cover. Nightbringer restores one wound if a wound is inflicted.

Deceiver (240 points, Elite)
(Stats same as Nightbringer, but -1 WS and +1 BS)

Hit & Run, Dread (enemy within 12" has -2 Ld.), Grand Illusion: After deployment and scout moves, remove Deceiver and up to D3 friendly units with 12" of it. Either immediately redploy them, or place them in reserve.

Transcendent C'Tan (250 points, Heavy Support)

(Stats same as Nightbringer, but -1 WS, +1 BS, +1 Strength, +1 wound)

Deep Strike, Writhing Worldscape: All enemy units within 6" treat open ground as difficult terrain

5) Caoptek Wraiths have no Sempiternal Weave, whatever that is , but they still have their 3+ invuln if that's what you're asking

[Necron]

Jackdup, first off, thank you so much for all of this.

A few questions:

1. What has happened to deathmarks?
2. What are the 'ranged weapons' and 'melee weapons' that the overlord can take?
3. What has happened to the annihilation barge?
4. What has happened to the Spyder?
5. Do we have any skyfire/melta/haywire/lance?

Thanks so much

Triarch Praetorians are still jump infantry. However, Wraiths are Beasts.

[ackoogin]

Good work jackedup

Couple queries if I may:

1) How do lords/crypteks work aside from formation, can take 0-n per overlord? Have to join units or are IC?
2) Points cost for Wraiths? (rending still?)
3) Lord wargear options? Still have sempiternal weave?

[Kwodd]

Wooooohoooooo no rear armor shielding!

[Megad00mer]

Fleet Wraiths??? *maniacal laugh*
