Here is the battle report for my challenge game with Commissar Warwick that I previously posted about. Warwick was a true gent on and off the table and he has some great content on his Channel, especially for Blood Angels, Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum) and Tyranids, so please go and give him a sub to show your support.

Commissar Warwick Challenge Game

Nick speaking,

I am very pleased to say that I have managed to arrange a 40k challenge game with Commissar Warwick, in his 'Challenge The Commissar' series of battle reports over on his YouTube Channel. Warwick is an awesome guy and has some great content on his Channel, especially for Blood Angels, Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum) and Tyranids, so please go and give him a sub to show your support.

We have set the points level at two thousand points and that is pretty much it, so I have no idea which army Warwick will play. As we are playing on my Necron terrain and I have recently updated my Super Phalanx army list, I thought it would be cool if I played that army against him.

My new Wraith Super Phalanx list was for seventeen fifty points, so I needed to up it to two thousand, not too many problems there, as the list was lacking in a bit of anti air anyway. The Immortals now have a Night Scythe, and with a bit of a jiggle with the unit sizes of the rest of the army we are good to go!

Necron Wraith Super Phalanx!

Nick speaking,

Having got myself a second unit of Wraiths specifically for my big 3k game with Aceface, I think it's about time I made use of them in a smaller game as well. After all, I know how much my buddies love playing against Wraiths!

As the Wraiths are pretty tough and very resilient, especially in the Decurion. I thought two units of them would sit in quite well to my Super Phalanx list concept, which you can read all about here. Basically an advancing Phalanx of very difficult to kill Terminator T-800 Necrons. Don't you just love Necrons!

At seventeen fifty points, two Canoptek Harvests are going to take up quite a few of them. So, it's going to have to be minimum Scarab units. The Reclamation Legion has to have a big unit of Warriors, two Ghost Arks and a durable HQ to keep the Super Phalanx theme going. No choices there really, the Deathmarks and Monolith get dropped for the extra unit of Wraiths and Tomb Blades have to go down to the minimum quantity as well.

Here is my final list, let me know what you think, battle report to follow soon

Super Phalanx Decurion List

Nick speaking,

Time to bring my 'Super Phalanx' list concept into the Decurion, and for those of you that are not aware of the concept behind the list, it is pretty simple. The core is based around one big blob of Warriors and an Overlord, backed up by a couple of Ghost Arks. This use to be pretty hard to take down with RP rolls and then repair barge, but now with the Decurion Special rules, they just got a whole lot better!

So what makes them better? OK, so the unit isn't as good in the assault without the faithful Stormtek and Mind Shackle Scarabs from the Overlord, but the unit got a lot more resilient. 4+ RP rolls, re-rolling the ones plus repair barge from two Ghost Arks. these guys are going to be hard to take down, especially now the RP roll is done after you take a wound!

I have to do a bit of a change around with the rest of the army to fit it in with the Decurion restrictions, but adding in the Canoptek Harvest to get me more RP rolls within the army should bode well. I am really happy how the list is looking, but please feel free to let me know your thoughts. Battle reports to follow soon...
