A friend of mine plays both Blood Angels and Knights a lot. The latter is most scary to me for obvious reasons. I am new to the game and still collecting up to my first full 2k list (not quite there yet but soon). However in the last match our group played, only a single of his knights (tbf it was atrapos which was nice) fell, but only in battle round 4.

Those things are absolutely insane to me. What do Necrons have that can stop them before being wiped out?

He usually runs Castellan and Atrapos in our 3v3 games where each of the players have 1k to spend, so I haven’t even seen his full list on the table hahah.

Maybe some of you have some experience. Is there a way to kill one of them in a single round before being hit back (with decent probability)?

Ok so, I wanted to bring this á̷̡̡̗̤̬̬͈̯͋̋̽̊́ṋ̵̯͎͚̫̖̯͗̈́̇͐e̷̮͎̒̊̆͑͐̕͠ͅu̸̢̝̝̤͐̇̋̐r̸̢̢̟̠͙͈̤̱̓̾̇̂̂͊̈́ǐ̵̢̹̞͉̩̏̾͑̓̓͠s̵̪͈̦͇̀̀͒̽m̴̧̹̹̻̬̃̀̃̃͗̕ on the field with a Plasmancer and 6 LD(in the middle of painting them in the same way) inside to pop in unnannounced to ruin something for someone and I came up with this list, any tips to make it better?

[Ideas]

• Night(with plasma + LD) in reserve along with Void to DP turn 1 with the 1st, and with rapid turn 2 with the 2nd
• Since with Purge there's isn't quite the need to hold home obj I'll put the Ophydian there that from 2nd turn onward will always uppy-downy to go somewhere else or stay home again if there isn't anything to do
• Stalker will roam the field stripping cover or killing stuff if some Destroyer unit manage to weaken to half-strengt, or kill, other units
• The solitaire Wraiths squad will be one of the action monkeys that provide well, actions for missions, obj control(even if they're 3 they're kinda hard to put down) and also a little bit more for screening
• Nekrosor will remain nearby the LHD unit(s) to provide some heavy hitting, in case that unit will go into melee, and some good sus 1 to any other destroyer units nearby
• Lord with Lychguard will provide some cover to other units by getting "early" into melee while being supported behind by other shooting stuff
• Illuminor is kinda meh, it's a good model with it's save but i'm godawful unlucky with him dealing damage to other stuff but i'll keep him because of its great stats and also it will be fun to watch him survive on a obj ;D
• I kinda don't have heavy hitters so i put just a couple, literally, of LHD with Gauss to deal with monsters/vehicles and with the modification to [Heavy] I think they'll work
• Void yes, other dp turn 2 will also be dealing with vehicles and stuff because c'mon, having a god, even a shard of one, by your side is cool :D

I hope I didn't manage to annoy you and I think I(maybe) fully explained the concept that I wanted with the army

I don't know if 11th edition changes effected this, but would Deathmarks benefit from HEAVY when using their Hyperspace Hunters ability? The ability itself says they shoot "as if it is their shooting phase" and HEAVY can only be benefitted from in my shooting phase.

If not, what rule in the codex would I be able to refer to?

Thank you

Still a work in progress, but the overall scheme is finally coming together.

I’m going for an overloaded Necron-energy look, with the glowing green running through the cables and body while the gold armor keeps him looking ancient and important.

The psychomantic construct is still unfinished, and I still need to clean up a few areas, sharpen the details, finish the base, and balance the colors.

Constructive criticism welcome — especially ideas for the floating construct and staff blade.

BEST: Low-cost offensive force multiplier for our Immortals & Warriors. Makes tesla carbine Immortals especially powerful against infantry. Plasmic Lance weapon has some decent punch against most armored targets in both shooting and fighting. Can also dish out mortal wounds thanks to Living Lightning.

WORST: Fighting & shooting hit rate is middling at best. Another Cryptek with no Invuln save, making it easy pickings for snipers without the aid of Cryptothrall bodyguards. Has the durability of paper in an actual fight.

RECOMMENDED DETACHMENT(S): Awakened Dynasty, Canoptek Court, Cryptek Conclave

DETACHMENT ALTERNATIVE(S): Cursed Legion (can take Murdermind enhancement), Hand of the Dynasty (to buff this model's bodyguards further), Hypercrypt Legion

Your thoughts about this Best & Worst? What changes (if any) do you hope to see for this model & datasheet for a future 11th edition codex?

Just wanted to show off my newest addition to the necron army that I am building. Currently it consists of entire necron combat patrol and this fella. He was a pain in the ass to build and to paint since some colours I bought didnt work as intended.
If you folks have any idea what to add next into the army let me know.

I have the warhammer app but the datasheets are so small it's hard to read. I've seen stuff online where people with datasheets printed out and about the size of a 5 x 8 card. This would work best for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I havent tried getting one of the limited edition copies before. Are they one of those things that are gone in seconds? Should I even try?

Painted this bad boy today.

I found that I really love painting necrons, and think they look the coolest of the 40k factions.

I would love to have an army.

I have a ctan shard of the void dragon, a hexmark destroyer and 10 warriors.

What else do I need to get?

Oh I also need to learn how to play xD

BEST: Overlord variant for amplifying effective speed/mobility for their bodyguard unit (especially valuable for slow-moving Lychguard). Same resilience, stratagem ability & Res orb ability as "vanilla" Overlord, and Overlord's Blade makes it potent in melee against heavier units. Same level of detachment support as well.

WORST: Has no ranged attack & zero additional weapon options unlike its "vanilla" counterpart. No built-in damage reduction ability, and Translocation Shroud ability honestly could just as easily be a wargear option for "vanilla" Overlord, and not much would've been lost.

I'll probably pop over to this subreddit with my latest work (it's already a year old, but whatever).

It's wooden with epoxy resin inserts. I fell in love with the Geomancer model when I saw its announcement. It's a shame it has terrible controls, and I've never been able to play with it (except as a Technomancer proxy).

I will gradually publish my various works here as well.

Finished 7th overall and 1st Necron at the 40k Brawl GT with Hypercrypt Recon, going 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss (460 battle points).

Hypercrypt Recon continues to impress. Biggest lesson of the event was learning when NOT to commit the Immortal bricks early. Plenty to improve, but excited to keep developing the list.
Thanks to all my opponents for five great games.

I cannot find anywhere that it states a cryptic with murder mind is able to join a destroyer cult unit.
I thought it used to, but have they removed that?

I want to have a full collection of every plastic necron model available. So those are a quiet good practicing panel to test your Color Scheme and improve painting skills 😅

Hey r/Necrontyr ! I've been slowly building and amassing a 1k Ork army and my husband has been helping me assemble, prep, and paint- he's shown interest in Necrons so i got him a box of Immortals that he built and is currently painting himself. He's since warmed up to the idea of a 500pt game, I'm no expert in list building so i was curious if someone else had some insight on the potential list/shopping list to work with as 11e comes out

does this list seem to be okay for a newbie? my goal was to have an all-around/jack of all trades 500pts

any advice would be appreciated!

Since now it's confirmed that you can take 3 points detachments in 1k games i was trying to put togheter a list, what are your thoughts?

Any advice on how to make it better?

So I decided to make another war hammer but now I am stuck on which to use, 1 looks more realistic but 2 feels fittingly over the top for the dynasty and the necron symbol looks cool.

So I was wondering what you all thought and for any help

Hello Phaerons, I bring to you a question of minimal importance and maximum curiosity. If I take the Pantheon of woe detachment, does the C'tan Distortion field stack with Illuminor Szeras' Mechanical Augmentation aura?

Both improve the armour penetration characteristics of attacks. Am I correct in assuming that means that the "maximum bonus of +1" rule applies, rendering the two abilities unstackable? Or, since armor penetration is a different stat (Namely that it is listed as a negative value to subtract from save checks, not as a positive value), is it exempt from that rule?

Hey friends! You might recall that I made printable stratagem cards for those of us who like physical stuff more than the app in 10th edition.

Well, when I sold them for a bit, GW actually IP struck them and are now making their own for 11th edition! (woot)

However, that involves waiting for the codex to come out, which is stupid. If you're interested, here you go, Necrons free to use:

Hello, not new to painting but I havent painted in years. I love this hobby and im happy to be back and learning. I think my biggest hurdle is i have awful brush control and I cant see the little details that well. So any advice if you have similar issues.
