The Voltaic Staffdoes give the Lokhust Lord a way around this though meaning that if you need a cheap beater (or want to spend the extra points on a resurrection orb to go with your Destroyers) theyre still worth a look. Mechanical Augmentation can now target any Core unit, which puts Tomb Blades, Lychguard and Deathmarks on the table along with Warriors and Immortals. As written theres no reason you wouldnt, but given how important having good secondaries are and the fact that these are, bluntly, real good might lead to some events deciding not to use them. Catacomb Command Barge w/Tesla, staff of light, Warlord, Voltaic Staff, Skin of Liquid Gold 145 You can still only fire it once a game, but when you do its S16 AP-5 andflat damage 6. I have literally always called this Rotate Quantum Shields in my games, and this is now pretty much exactly that. The rules for these instruct you that if youre playing a mission pack that uses secondaries, and your entire army is NECRONS, you can selectone of these in place of a normal objective. Just add Codex-Necron-9th-Edition of rdjohnson1993 to My Favorites. However, once you start moving then you dont get to shoot the big gun as effectively, and its all a bit confusing. Id expect to see Enduring WIll added to Skorpekh Lords a lot, andThrall of the Silent Kingtried out on a wide variety of buff characters like Crypteks. In addition, for the first time for Necrons this book introduces custom Dynasties, allowing you to pick one effect from each of two lists to make up your faction traits. Vargard Obyron probably doesnt see much use he continues to be essentially a dedicated bodyguard for Nemesor Zandrekh, and loses his ability to bring a unit with him when he teleports to Zandrekhs side. The Skorpeh Lord is pricier and slower, but has a far more flexible offensive loadout in exchange. There really is just too much here to go into everything he can do, but the tldr is: Realistically, I kind of feel like this unithas to be good, because hes priced well for his defences (26 total wounds with a 4++) and can dish out pain to anything. Whats more, they all have Living Metal, meaning that if they last through to your turn they get a wound back. It still isnt good, but enough has been done to make sure its no longer upsettingly terrible. Always fun to have. Necrons 9th edition was released on 10-10-2020 Unit points throughout Time Show entries Showing 1 to 10 of 73 entries Previous Next Necrons Special Rules A Necrons Detachment is one that only includes models with the Necrons keyword. A souped-up list of Ctan powers, including unique ones for the three named shards. Each unit entry now haseither a base cost per model or a base cost per complete unit (often where theres a fixed size) and the cost entry for each unit will specify which (if any) upgrades you have to pay extra for. Necron Detachments gain the Royal Court and Dynastic Agents and Star Gods abilities. Well, the important takewaways are: The last point is worth exploring. The Nightbringer gets an extra base attack and point of S compared to all the others and has a sweep attack, allowing him to throw out 12 S7 AP-3 D1 attacks when needed. Given theyre also healthily priced and CORE, this should make at least 5-model units a pretty common sight, and here I curse GW for taking away my excuse not to get around to painting mine. Finally, Trazyn shifts from being Nihilakh to being a Dynastic Agent. All of the Named Characters from the previous edition return, and theres quite a few upgrades. I will try and maintain my objectivity theres some stuff here I still think misses the mark but this is going to be more effusive than my normal fare becausemy army might actually be good now. Thats true whether you like pretty books or exciting rules while the total page count of the 8th and 9th Edition Codexes is the same, there are 30 more pages that have rules content on them this time around. Such madness only makes them an even greater and more terrible threat. First up, his shooting attack has been returned to having 36 range while keeping d3 shots, allowing him to provide a potent game-long shooting threat. TheDoomsday Ark gets switched over to the new quantum rules and gets a 10pt increase, and Im not hugely sure how to feel about it at this point. Choosing to draw a whole detachment from the same Dynasty allows units in that detachment (other than Dynastic Agents and Ctan Shards) to benefit from a Dynastic Code, boosting their capabilities. The most important ones are: There are a few others, but theyre condensed enough that well just talk about them when they matter. Adding two Arks and two reaper squads massively shores up horde matchups, as the volume threat is considerable, and the big Triarch Praetorian squad is an especially huge threat in a list where opponents are going to have to choose between trying to kill them and trying to take out Szarekh, especially with the Chronomancer following them around and providing a 5++. Most notably, all of the following are available: Having these powerful, workhorse effects available immediately makes it more likely these will get used, but obviously the second half needs to pay off as well. However, this is obviously now much more important, as its a way for you to bring back models that failed to reanimate the first time around, and punishing your opponent for trying and failing to achieve a full kill on one of your units. This has been completely replaced, as previewed on Warhammer Community: Thats a lot of words. A whole host of exciting new options awaits budding Phaerons, while a whole bunch of existing units get gigantic shots in the arm, and the net result is that the faction feels incredibly exciting for the first time inwell ages. Clad in self-repairing bodies of living metal and wielding weapons that harness the most devastating energies of the cosmos, the Necrons are a terrifying enemy. Is it the funniest possible thing to do to a random character whos strayed away from LoSir? Customers also search. I love to stay updated with technology, so I just wanted to find a book that will help me broaden my horizon in technology. Still in Destroyer land, theHexmark Destroyer is here. It isntbad as such, with its main gun having been turbo charged to hilarious heights and having a good anti-horde secondary weapon, but my overwhelming experience of the edition thus far has been that spending 200pts on a plane is avery tough sell, especially one without an invuln to protect it. Each time you complete this, you get 3VP. Overall, huge fan its flavourful, interesting, powerful and generates a lot of depth and meaningful decisions. I expect to see this heavily tested alongside the best of the named Dynasties. Overall, having these additional options is great, which does kind of circle around to how these will be handled at events in the early part of 9th. I could be wrong here, as the flexible offense is decent, but I dont expect these to feature in top lists in anywhere near their previous numbers. It does have one tiny downside, which is that if you use it you cant use Protocol of the Eternal Guardianfor cover if you go second, but equally you can queue that up for turn 2 when you know your army will be solidly in the mid-field and ready to bed in. Meanwhile, their relic (for a NOBLE) essentially extends command protocols to 9 around the warlord, and lets CORE units always benefit from both halves of the active protocol. This is an incredibly potent buff, and especially good with the spiicy Canoptek Doomstalker. Vehicles arent a huge part of the meta right now and you do want them around to get the most from this guy, but theyre no slouch otherwise and Im certainly still going to pick him up as the worlds number one Ctan appreaciator. Moving on to theLokhust Heavy Destroyers, Im still not quite sure what to think about them. Several units get some options here. InBattlefield Supremacywe have two choices Purge the Vermin andThe Treasures of the Aeons. They have T7 and 9W each, which isnt massive, but all have the Necrodermis rule, giving them a 4++ and meaning they cannot take more than three wounds in a phase. Most units have a keyword, which you replace with the name of one of your choice when adding them to your army. The Silent King. download 1 file . Put them together and each 6 is one auto-wound and one extra hit spicy stuff if youre running Mephrit especially. Words cannot express how gleeful I am about this. Zandrekh is quite a bit improved, but with everything being pricy its still hard to justify his cost. Each of the three named Ctan Shards now also gets a mandatory unique power in one of their two slots. Finally, theCanoptek Reanimator. After that, Transcendant Ctan are kind of a climbdown. Hes got all the buffs and auras youd expect of a Phaeron, but all of these effect NECRON CORE and TRIARCH PRAETORIANS. 34 generic stratagems and one for each named Dynasty. Rather than turning off Auras (theoretically good, clunky on a slow model in practice), now once per game when an opponent tries to use a stratagem you can just say no, it isnt activated (so no CP are spent) and cant be used for the rest of the battle round. Theyreodd. 51 datasheets and accompanying rules to build your legions. Any unit with the Command Protocols ability then benefis from that effect while it is within 6 of a Necron CHARACTER. With Ctan in general just being all round great, expect to see these a lot more. Finally, Sautekh retain their roster of named characters, several of whom have gotten big boosts to their effectiveness. c+c welcome. There is a part of me that, like with the lord, looks at their price tag and says but I could buy a spicy Cryptek with that, and I think the buffs being limited to CORE make them an especially hard sell but again, if you decided to go all in on just so many warriors they could have a place. From here on out, were going to be going through the various sections of the book and looking at what they mean for players. 4 Necron secondaries for matched play games. Get your strategy right and you can grind your foes before you.

The targeting relay, allowing other units to re-roll hits of 1 against whatever it shotdoesnt gain a CORE restriction, so its a powerful tool if youre bringing any big guns on vehicles or constructs. Technomancers, one of the Cryptek sub-classes, can now reanimate a single dead NECRON CORE model from a unit (or d3 Warriors) in your command phase in homage to their old abilities, but dont expect to be routinely rolling this on a 4+. New and exciting for the Necrons, we have custom dynasties. Weighing in as one of the longest and most complex datasheets in the game, its hard to get adefinite read on him by my impression is that hes incredible. There seems to be a general trend in this book that rapid fire gauss is being positioned as the default weapon setup, and you get a few options for this. Thats a nice implicit trade-off from no longer being able to buff to 3++. Hes also both dangerous and a pain to deal with in melee, as forcing enemies to fight last means that glass cannon units like Repentia, who absolutely will not stand up to his attacks, cant really engage with him. Anrakyr the Traveller is slightly tuned down from where he used to be hes still a generic, Dynastic Agent Overlord, but his +1A aura now only affects CORE. These do all sorts of stuff. Overall, given hes still pricy, probably for specific lists only. Last thing before we move to the unit roster is faction Secondaries. Warriors seem like they get a new lease of life with this book.

C'tan are terrifying! You could also theoretically bring this on from strategic reserves to do the same later in the game. Then invest in your Nightbringer today. I think this will see experimentation it may turn out not to quite work, but this is such an out-there capability that it needs to be properly looked at. Fearless, relentless, and utterly without mercy, they advance in serried ranks and lay down withering storms of fire fit to annihilate even the mightiest of foes. A code to unlock all of this in the app. The increased power definitely comes at a price (350 for named, 270 for generic) but what you get for that is quite something. Finally, in Shadow Operations you get a decent action secondary inAncient Machines. After you hit with a ranged attack, you can spend 1CP to just auto-wound. 150. The defences are the eye-catching thing out the gate. Unlike a lot of things, thisisnt restricted to CORE (just DYNASTY), so can be powerful on a wide range of things such as Skorpekh Destroyers, Tomb Blades and Lokhusts. I personally plan to take Catacomb Command Barges a. At the point whereeverythingin a bubble is taking 2-3 mortals, with more to come in later turns, some armies have a real problem.

Its alsowild on Ctan shards thanks to their Necrodermis rule preventing them from losing more than three wounds in a phase.

Speaking of Ctan, he retains his ability to level up to a Ctan like profile if you roll less than the current round number in your command phase, making him quite dangerous in melee given he also fights first and ignores invulns. Amalgamated Targeting Data OK, I guess if youre still stuck on the 8th model of playing Necrons this one stings too, but in practical terms taking three Doom Scythes is almost certainly not what you want to be doing in 9th.

We start strong with theTechnomancer, and while a lot of these are cool, this guy does a tonne of stuff supporting multiple archetypes. The faction also has a lot of support for themed armies powerful options are available that will reward going deep on either Canoptek constructs or Destroyer Cult units. Happy New Year, Long Live The Emperor! With Reanimation making infantry blocks more attractive again, slapping the abiliy to get them into positionfast at the cost of your first turns shooting, along with making them tougher to take down with heavy fire, is fantastic, and there are plenty of other units that are perfectlyhappy to have a 6++ randomly slapped onto their profile, Destroyers, Scarabs and Tomb Blades coming to mind in particular. Their effect has also changed, with The Lords Will now handing out hit re-rolls of 1 to a single CORE unit per turn. You can use the tokens left to buy back whole models. Theyre also faster than the rest and can FLY. The Reanimation Beam is clearly very good to have on a big unit that is under fire, but with the effect being so short ranged and requiring visiblity, its frequently going to be impossible to set it up without this being visible, and its so squishy for the cost that its a tough sell.
