Games Workshop - Warhammer 40K: Necrons Dice Set

Product Information

Astartes vessels are literally twice as good in planetary assaults, earning 2 assault points per turn rather than the usual 1 when they spend their turn landing troops or bombarding the planet. The cruisers come in at a bit of a discount, but they do lack the typical long range dorsal options and speed that often comprise the core of Chaos fleets. Well, let’s remember that Robotty McRobit is an asshole and just so happens to have a universal armor value of 6, a critical hits table that ignores almost all additional damage results (excepting the tippy top of the table), ignores damage. An issue with the core game was that the Eldar and Ork fleets felt more like a side-arc to the main conflict in the Gothic Sector between the Imperium and Chaos rather than full fledged participants.

Necron weapon batteries, or lightning arcs, are highly flexible and can split their fire among multiple arcs however they see fit (if multiple arcs are available). These finely detailed resin models are some of the fastest and most manoeuvrable aircraft in the game, since the pilots could hardly care less about the g-force that limits weakling organic races.In subsequent turns the Chaos player can ‘solidify’ the transition and allow it to act as a normal vessel. Each one of their capital ships does a bit of everything, but when almost all of your line ships are light cruisers (so poorer shields and firepower than a full fat cruiser) you’ll have to use your speed and manoeuverability to pick at the enemy in surgical strikes rather than ploughing in like a berzerker. He comes in at a whopping 195 points but carries a leadership value of 10 and allows a single re-roll each turn. Gravitic Hooks, which do absolutely nothing except dictate how many escorts you can bring in the fleet.

The Scythe class cruiser is a mainstay of Necron fleets – expensive at 275, it still carries a remarkable strength 8 Lightning Arc battery on the port/starboard beams and a devastating 4 Particle Whips with a 270-degree coverage arc that give it the capability to punish at range. Tyranid cruisers are not particularly fast or heavily armed, and they frankly have a low hull value for a cruiser, but they are cheap coming in between 90 and 130 points each and can easily swarm a board and overwhelm your ability to fend them off as they close to board and gut your ships from within. While the roster entries are extremely limited, the customization options for the class give the Dark Eldar surprising flexibility in fleet construction. The lance batteries are nice in that they ignore shields, but they are extremely limited in range at 15cm – perfect for a little pre- or post-boarding fire support… Which you’ll want to do early and often because two of the most effective Tyranid weapons are actually meant for grappling and boarding.movement, or leadership results from many forms of celestial phenomena, and makes critical repairs on a 4+ per hull point vice the usual 6.
