So, played Nids with my Necrons on sunday, and frankly it all went a bit Pete Tong. Veiled a Crpytek, Overlord and 10 Immortals into oblivion on turn 2, and things just got worse.
And in the best possible Necron tradition (Cupid Stunt leg swish) I'm coming back, this Thursday. 1,500 against those Gribbly Nids.
Now I don't mind admitting this is kind of a tailored list, but there's a reason beyond wanting full on rewengey. I've got stuff in my collection I'm yet to use, and I want to see how a heavy hitter Nid list does against them!
So, it's currently....
Overlord
Phase Shifter, Sempiternal Weave, Warscythe, Orb
Lord
Phase Shifter, Sempiternal Weave, Warscythe, Orb, Mindshackle Scarabs
Harbinger of Transmogrification
Crucible, Tremorstave
10 Tesla Immortals
10 Tesla Immortals
5 Scytheguard, Nightscythe
5 Scytheguard, Nightscythe
Annihilation Barge
Annihilation Barge.
Army I'm playing has a Flyrant, Carnifex, Tyrannofex, Tervigon, Genestealers, Doom in Pod, Trygon and some Gaunts. The high amount of Tesla ought to provide suitable dakka to threaten him with sheer weight of fire power, Nightscythes provide manouverability, and the Lychguard and others are there to chop the big beasties down in HTH, and hopefully survive (kind of helps 3 of his big things have lower Initiative and WS! Plus I'm confident the others will go down like a sack of spuds as well). Mindshackle Scarabs are for now an afterthought, but could prove useful should he engage me with a single beasty, as there's a decent chance even the Tyrant will charge, then flail about uselessly. Harbinger goes in the other squad, with the idea being I can either get the jump thanks to the crucible, or force my opponent to come at me one at a time (though that is a good argument for sticking him with the Lord. Hmmm....)
So, yeah, I know it's small, I know I'm risking a lot on the Lychguard, but should be fun! Thoughts?
