Necron artifacts question

[fexen]

This came up the other day and I was wondering if anyone could help. In the new necron codex is it possible for an overlord (for example) to take more than one artifact of the Aeons? My friend says no it's limited to one but all I can find is a limitation to one of each type per army.

Anyone encountered a similar disagreement?

Don't have my book on hand to give the citation, but there is a bit in there somewhere that limits them to 1 per Model. I think it's on the page with the points values for all of them.

Note that the Mephrit Dynasty Relics are different, there is no such limitation on them. They also don't have the usual limitation in supplements that they're taken instead of the normal Codex Relics, so in a Mephrit Detachment/Formation, you can take a normal Artifact and one or more of the Mephrit ones on the same Model.

EDIT: Yeah, it's on Pg.65, right between the Artifacts of the Aeons heading and the list of Artifacts themselves: "A Model may take ONE of the following:"

On the overlord page:
"May take items from the Melee Weapons, Ranged Weapons, Technoarcana and/or Artefacts of the Aeons."

So far no restriction.

Lets look at the Artefacts section:
"A model may take on of the following:"

Found it. He only gets one.

Thanks very much for the help guys :-)

Would an overlord be able to take two artifacts if he is from a Mephrit detachment? You can only take 1 from Leviathan (let's say the one that lets you re-roll 1's for saving throws) and you can only take 1 from the primary dex (let's say the one that gives you a 2+ save). If you're running a normal CAD or decurion detachment then you can only use the primary codex but if you're running a Mephrit army then you can choose from either, right?

I think what your saying is correct, using the nightmare shroud and the the mephrit artifact is ok. 2+ save reroll 1s lol.

You can actually take more than one of the Exterminatus Artefacts. They don't have that restriction. And yes, they're also lacking the usual Supplement restriction on mixing them with the Artefacts from the regular Dex.

I don't have the physical book in front of me but on the digital version page 267 (The heading is "The Cryptan Alliance") it does mention some additional general info about the use of the warlord tables/relics for all the armies. It says under Unique Wargear: "Characters with the Necron faction that are part of a Detachment or Formation presented in this book can select an item from the Relics of the War in heaven list at the points cost shown. Only one of each per army..." That to me sounds like only one relic can be chosen from Mephrit ("...an item...") for a total of 2 relics on an overlord max. I could be reading into it too much...or not enough? hahahaha

They put a small section that pertains to all armies in the Exterminatus book RIGHT before the blood angels stuff. I missed it the first look through as I just jumped straight to the Necrons info!

[WestRider]

That may be right. I was just looking at the actual Mephrit Dynasty section. Unfortunately, GW hasn't standardized this, or worded it clearly in many cases. Some Armies can clearly take a single Relic per Character, some can clearly take multiples, some are entirely unclear.
