Necron Nightmare Shroud Tactics Warhammer 40,000

[nosferato321]

I like the whole, stacking the 2 cover saves, but i had an opponent say that vulnerable to blast, and vunerable to blast/templents would than stack, since im saying that small target and stelth stacks. exa: small target and vunerable to blast is in necron codex. and stelth and vulnerable to blast/templent is in rulebook. thoughts? because i think GW would have intended for the new rules to replace the old ones in the codex. a small target cant be small twice i think :P

What about pariahs with a Lord.

Cons: Slow moving, Expensive

Pros: Cause enemies within 12 to be LD 7,their much more useful in close combat.

The nightmare shroud with pariahs would be perfect against marines and high leadership units. I managed to make 5 squads of marines fall back ( some falling off the table because they were hugging the table edge with devastators) In the end of that battle I ended up with 8 kill points my opponent 0 kill points. Its nasty in apocalypse with flank march

You cant turbo boost into difficult terrain and as the scarrab entry says that they dont have to take the test, not that they ignore it. They cant turbo boost into the terrain.

Although tbh you could turbo boost up to it and get the 2+ cover save (turbo boost + small target) and move in next turn.

[Aderath]

why are all of your strategies based around fighting Guard? that isn't accurate to how this will work against most armies, morale based necron armies never work because most of your opponents (unless they are tau or dark eldar) simply dont care.

[bkgoddard]

This tactic is pretty crappy the way you are trying to use it. You are counting on low leadership troops which just don't exist in 5th ed. Also any artillary is going to OBLITERATE that unit next turn.

[kmch90]

What I have seen done with great succes is what you mention, using a lord with nightmare shroud and veil of darkness. but together with a unit of piriaphs, making your opponent ld 7. maybe throw in the gaze of flame if that can be done pointwise...

[bkgoddard]

You do know that you can't use VoD with a unit of Pariahs. It only works with units that have the "necron" rule.

[emvisual]

veal of darkness... it may be more tender, more tasty, but its wrong to treat animals that way

[Rabble2]

leman russ eradicators

insta double kills scarabs in an ordnance blast that ignores their armor and any cover

[PaladinZebra]

I don't think that spire thing would give them a cover save from the guardsmen and the LR battle cannon is ordanence I belive so it would ignore cover saves

[xdeox19]

lol a ctan...I tried to took one on with Dante, Corbolo, furioso, and assault squad....Does anyone know how many attacks a furisoso has? It says that it has 2 (3) attacks?

ur talking bollocks fritz, the use of 3-10 "swarms" isn't a rule in itself, its a description. Only if they were listed under special rules as being a swarm would that count.

[flatlandsk8ter94]

i agree that the cover save should be a 2+ becuase they are 2 differnt rules

[Kvltmaster]

If an enemy unit fails a leadership test via Nightmare Shroud, and has to fall back, can you still attempt a sweeping advance? That just seems like it would be sick paired with GoF.

[nidsnidsnecrons]

im glad there isnt a new codex for a while because of all the marine players complaining about well be back therefore it will be changed in a new codex so the longer the better my opinion...i do want the void dragon or the outsider to come out tho :D

[Raizure]

I heard that they're going to finish up the extra space marine chapters this year and early next, and then by the end of next yera, they should have a completely revamped line of DE mini's to go with a codex

[PenguinPainterz]

DE is due to come out around june-julyish next year. Space wolves are getting a codex, an i think they might do a reprint of bloodangels.

[Raizure]

his old plan had warriors, he doesn't teleport anymore, so he has something else with him that can keep up with TB

[jay6366]

i asked the ladz at the store (the guy who work there) snd they say game workshop MAY update dark eldar necrons demonhunter and sis of battle codex

[PenguinPainterz]

dark eldar are in the works, necrons are rumoured to be in the works, no word on any inquistion stuff in the works :(

[LEGIOSWINDON]

Their have been some rough words about the inquistion apparently it will have deathwatch rules in their for ordo xenos and they are putting sisters and daemon hunters into this one codex with deathwatch

[PenguinPainterz]

all speculation my friend :( there has been no confirmation on the part of GW staff that the inquisition is even being worked on, anyone who tells you otherwise is just wishfully thinking I'm afraid :( which is a ryte shame, I'd love a new codex

[LEGIOSWINDON]

I worded my statement badly these are rumours at most from people who have heard from a friend who heard from a friend of a friend in nottingham complex and probs not true but their is hope

[jay6366]

i think tey should only make one inqustion codex cause not many people play them and add deathwhatch

[jay6366]

yer but they need to take em from 3 editoion

[rethiness]

Hey Fritz you cant turbo boost into terrain, just part of the turbo boost rules. Not sure if scarab swarm ignores this part of turbo boosting.

[heller205]

Crons only coming out next SUMMER!!! :)

[ajtame]

Space wolves is next, crons apparently early next year

[Rincewindlolzor]

Out late this year, early next. Or so iv heard

[ShasoDnarb]

Informative, ty...

( don't suppose anyone has heard anything more concrete about new Cron dex release ETA? )

[twostringguitar]

It's the last thing on their minds right now.

[RetributionAngel]

rumors say BA´s & Nids are comeing

but rumors about necrons or DE are around for ever now...and not true

[WayOfSaimHann]

Sadly it is the last thing on their minds. I've heard late 2010 or even when 40K 6th edition comes around in 2011.
