I have been looking at something a bit different for my Necrons lately, and it's the Heavy Support section that has taken my eye! I usually run with Annihilation Barges, which are in no doubt of being totally awesome for their points, but what about Doomsday Arks? I know they are a lot of points, but boy is that big gun good, especially when combined with a Triarch Stalker to make it twin linked! Talking of Triarch Stalkers, I onced asked the question on here about what gun to take, well I am 100% convinced the Twin Linked Gauss Cannon is the way to go, with the range of the gun being the main advantage in keeping the Stalker safe...
Luckily, I magnetised my two Ghost Arks into Doom Arks, so that is my starting point of the list, and to keep the Doom theme going, I will go for a Doom Scythe as well to top off the heavy choices. With no Ghost Arks for my Warriors to repair with my Overlord, and for another change up, I will exchange the Overlord for a Destroyer Lord for my Wraiths. I have used this fantastic combo before, but not as much as I would like. That leaves Elites free for my Triarch Stalker and some points left over for some other toys. Five Destroyers and a few Tomb Blades for distraction and we are all done...

Nick, I have to say that is pretty ballsy to make a 2k list without doubling the force org chart. Much respect!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, we don't play dual foc in my gaming group, mainly because not everyone has a huge amount of models to do it.
ReplyDeleteNice. I envy your gaming group.
ReplyDeleteIDICBeer,
ReplyDeleteAny reason you run min squads of warriors vs. max? Almost everyone in my group runs them larger. Is there something missing that I can exploit? 'Crons give my DA fits.
Hi Matt, I tend to run bigger units if I have a few ghost arks around to back them up, but otherwise ten seems to work well for me, there is enough to give them a chance of rp rolls and keeping them alive, but also at the same time not too many that I can use a unit to engage an enemy unit with one squad, allowing the other units to reposition ready for rapid fire death when they loose the assault.
