Still in Destroyer land, theHexmark Destroyer is here. Get it as soon as Wednesday, Feb 8. Getting a unit of these ready to go was the surprise painting task I didnt know I was going to have, but Im here for it. While there are a few other stat changes, at 35PPM these are just good in 9th fast melee units that are stillpretty tough are exactly what you want in your armies, and a whole bunch of stuff here boosts melee and CANOPTEK units. The custom power (a replacement for the old Gaze shooting attack) is vicious right out the gate you pick a target (with no LoSir-like restrictions or anything) and roll 3d6, doing d3 MWs for each 4+. However, it now ignores any ability that lets the defender ignore wounds, letting you cut straight through Iron Hands, Death Guard and whoever else you feel like, and its a nice toy to have kicking around. Is it worth your slot? This list aims to lean in to the renewed durability of the humble Necron Warrior and the various spicy melee options (most notably my boi the Nightbringer) to put opponents under tremendous pressure. What a mammoth review, and what afantastic change to an army that has long languished in the doldrums. are! Enduring Will (-1D) is unchanged andEternal Madness(re-roll melee wounds) is improved very mildly, now being always on rather than just in the first round of combat. 10 Warriors, flayers 130, Elites In addition, for the first time for Necrons this book introduces custom Dynasties, allowing you to pick one effect from each of two lists to make up your faction traits. Emergency Invasion Beam No longer needed because of changes to how the Night Scythe and Monolith work. This is going to doway more damage overall on average, and could be especially nasty if you lined him up with some Ctan throwing Transdimensional Thunderbolt and a source ofMalevolent Arcing. On that note, theTesseract Vault. Also able to deep strike natively and intercept withAetheric Interception, they seem like a reasonably plausible tool for holding a home objective while projecting some threat in some lists, though investingenough points into them to make them worth it could be a tough ask. Or are they? Necrons contains everything you need to play a game with. Bad news first they have gone back up to 13ppm. At the start of each battle round, one final condition is checked: If you meet that, you reveal the protocol chosen for that round and choose one of the two effects. A souped-up list of Ctan powers, including unique ones for the three named shards. There are plenty of small, elite units that are priced to move now, so it feels like there are places to take the Szarekhan but as above, expect to seesome of it on the table a lot as the Silent King flexes his considerable muscles. They are led to war by undying nobles wielding weapons of devastating power, driven by the absolute conviction that they are the rightful rulers of the stars. Finally, the fact that in melee it auto-hits with 6 attacks at S8 AP-3 D3 is totally hilarious. Relic wise, theVeil of Darkness has been slightly nerfed but remains a near must-have, and there are some good generic weapon options. Necron Detachments gain the Royal Court and Dynastic Agents and Star Gods abilities. The Nihilakh dont want people to touch their stuff. Quantum Deflectionalso gets re-done to account for the changes to Quantum Shielding, now improving the invuln granted to 4++ for a phase. Rounding out the upgrade column,Voidreaper has been changed. With our three tokens, we can buy one whole Lychguard, with one token left over. Their stratagem further hammers this home, giving a unit +1A for a turn for 1CP (an exceptionally good rate), and while their warlord trait and relic are a bit underwhelming, the overall package here is very powerful. All of the rules needed to build and field a Necron force in a Warhammer 40K table top game. Medium scan. Repair Subroutines Not needed now that all Canoptek have RP by default. The custom power is an anti-vehicle tool, dealing d3 MWs to a unit at range (d6 if its a vehicle) on a 2+, and halving the targets remaining wounds for determining stats if it has a degrading profile. After suffering through the whole of 8th with an extremely underpowered Codex, Necrons are at the front of the queue for 9th Edition, and in the opinion of yourhumble ARROGANT AND GLORIOUS correspondant its good news. The trait lets you pick four protocols instead of five, and choose to double up one of them for two rounds. Being able to compete in the fight phase is proving essential in 9th, and this book gives Necrons the tools to deal with their opponents up close. Still a mixed story overall, but better than the warlord traits, with the addition of theVoltaic Staff being a huge boon, and theVeil andOrb having plenty of serious use cases. Strategically, working out how to get the most out of these is a real challenge. Lastly though. These have a whole bunch of abilities, and generally net out at being a bit more deadly than the Wraiths on offence, but the tradeoff is that they are appallingly squishier on defence, being T4 4+ with no invuln. Theyre fractionally more expensive in support of all of this, but not enough so that they arent easily the second most interesting after the Technomancer. Equally, its possible that making the gauss reaper 15 range is just whats needed to make it more flexible on the battlefield. The former is a steal at 5pts, giving you a 10 FLY speed and allowing you to repair a Dynasty model for d3 wounds at the end of movement. The Skorpeh Lord is pricier and slower, but has a far more flexible offensive loadout in exchange. InBattlefield Supremacywe have two choices Purge the Vermin andThe Treasures of the Aeons. What makes that up? Thats it. I love to stay updated with technology, so I just wanted to find a book that will help me broaden my horizon in technology. Last thing before we move to the unit roster is faction Secondaries. The defences are the eye-catching thing out the gate. The Reanimation Beam is clearly very good to have on a big unit that is under fire, but with the effect being so short ranged and requiring visiblity, its frequently going to be impossible to set it up without this being visible, and its so squishy for the cost that its a tough sell. It does have one tiny downside, which is that if you use it you cant use Protocol of the Eternal Guardianfor cover if you go second, but equally you can queue that up for turn 2 when you know your army will be solidly in the mid-field and ready to bed in. Catacomb Command Barges feel very good for this. A code to unlock all of this in the app. If this review leaves you wanting more then stay tuned over the next week or so, as well have plenty more follow up coverage from our regular columns, as well as deep dives into some specific list options. Finally, Trazyn shifts from being Nihilakh to being a Dynastic Agent. Well the book contains: Were going to focus today on the content thats relevant for matched play our Crusade specialists will be bringing you their thoughts on the new rules for narrative campaigns next week. I started a Necron Army in 8th to provide an alternative option for events, but that never really came to fruition outside of occasional skew list outings due to how weak the 8th book was. The Treasures of the Aeons is another one with powerful mid-late game scoring potential. Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition Codex: NContains all of the Necron unit data sheets, war gear, relics, powers, and stratagems. The tradeoff for this is that the units dont have this ability built-in any more, but both can naturally deep strike, and it could plausibly open up a use case for starting Deathmarks on the table. You can combine this further with the upgradedSolar Pulse, which now strips a target of cover for the whole phase rather than just against one volley. Reanimation has been the signature move of Necrons for most of their existence, but in 8th it was bluntly terrible. Starting off with the previous biggest cheese of the Necrons,Imotekh gains a lot. While useful in some builds, the fact that MWBD is CORE only does mean this is far from and auto-take, especially with how juicy a lot of your other options are, but worth keeping in mind. Well dive into the specifics of the new version of Reanimation in a second, but it just being everywhere without you having to think about it now is great. Finally, Implacable Conquerer (re-roll charge aura) also gets the CORE treatment, making it way less useful as it cant be comboed with Ophydians or Flayed Ones, both of whom want this effect a lot. However, the good news is that they benefit hugely from the updated Reanimation Protocols (which they re-roll 1s on), have a tonne of strats to boost their damage output and also see the gauss reaper get better from Indomitus, now being Assault 2 12 rather than Rapid Fire 1 15. Probably a lot more relevant since these are really good now! Finally,Revenge of the Doomstalker is an ever present threat your opponent has to real with while these are about. Combined with improved splash damage from some Ctan powers and from Imotekhs big lightning bolt, some armies are going to have a rough time with their units being chipped away by gradual mortal splash. 9.1 Codices; 9.2 Supplements; 9.3 Campaigns & Expansions; 10 Related Articles The Voltaic Staffdoes give the Lokhust Lord a way around this though meaning that if you need a cheap beater (or want to spend the extra points on a resurrection orb to go with your Destroyers) theyre still worth a look. This list is not complicated. As a general thing for this section,all the Overlord tier characters, named and generic, now have four attacks rather than their sad, pathetic three from 8th. Throwing the spear in a line is hilarious, and it will tear stuff up in melee too. In Stock. Moving down the hierarchy,Lords are still kind of embarassingly terrible at everything, being stuck at 3A with no invuln. I expect to take this on my Catacomb Command Barge (the ideal wielder) pretty much every game. Warriors seem like they get a new lease of life with this book. This has been moved out from Mephrit to be a generic relic staff of light, and its basically just really good it fire lots of AP-2 D2 shots at range, and is +1S and D2 in melee as well. I worry a bit that Necrons mostly want a mixture of pressure and combo stuff, and their abilities dont really fit that, but Im willing to be proven wrong. No more advance/charge Wraiths. Szarekh opens up a huge bunch of options, and my suspicion is that hes actually best in a non-Szarekhan list, but this one shows off ways you can build to that while staying within his Dynasty. They also have an aura that subtracts 1 from leadership and combat attrition tests for enemies within 6 potentially hugely impactful if you can land it just right, but extremely risky to pull off. Sounds promising, and it is this is pure upside. Last of all we have the Sautekh. Keep any tokens where you rolled a 5+, and discard the rest. November 2019. Sold by Made In USA Shop and ships from Amazon Fulfillment. Hit someone with a gauss destructor? A substantial downgrade on both halves sadly, and probably not that great. They have T7 and 9W each, which isnt massive, but all have the Necrodermis rule, giving them a 4++ and meaning they cannot take more than three wounds in a phase. Flayed Ones can give themselves -1 to hit in any phase, but the really exciting one here isWhirling Onslaught. Necron codex 9th edition pdf download. People! Tesla in general takes a bit of a knock in this book compared to 8th, but if theres a place for using lots of it Mephrit is going to be it. The other unit here is another big one having been the armys laughing stock for all of 8th Canoptek Spyders areback and they arepissed. New and exciting for the Necrons, we have custom dynasties. I do not get the Canoptek Reanimator. Great job past me. Mostly returning friends here. Cryptothralls return from Indomitus, and with 3 months more information about how the game plays we know that cheap INFANTRY units that can be chucked into strategic reserves in bulk to pop out to perform Actions are really good. 70pts each is a lot they arent really tough enough to justify that price tag, and their weapons are also very polarised in what theyre good at. Revenge is a dish best served with incredibly powerful doomsday blasts, and even if they werent already a decent unit, this would be an strong additional incentive to take one. That means mixed-dynasty lists switch these off, likely making them quite rare. Their effect has also changed, with The Lords Will now handing out hit re-rolls of 1 to a single CORE unit per turn. You can still only fire it once a game, but when you do its S16 AP-5 andflat damage 6. Early on his annihilation beams make a mockery of many vehicles, while mid-game he throws out a good volume of shots. The Nightbringer doesnt really need it, but even for him it can be relevant if they need to use their sweep attack against some targets. To close this off and show how we plan to use the new toys, Ive put together two lists for you. Necron Codex 6th Edition Pdf When people should go to the book stores, search start by shop, shelf by shelf, it is in fact problematic. Anrakyr the Traveller is slightly tuned down from where he used to be hes still a generic, Dynastic Agent Overlord, but his +1A aura now only affects CORE. Its all nice but I dont think its nice enough to justify its cost and price tag. They also pack two different weapon options which are both pretty cool in their own way, and actually has a built-in invuln unlike the rest of these fragile chumps. Many units are relatively ponderous, while the powerful Command Protocols have to be planned out before battle is even joined. Resurerection Protocols get a character back up on a 4+. Thats a massive upgrade for most situations, and any warriors riding in Ghost Arks probably want the reapers. So yeah. They keep their deep strike, trade wound re-rolls out for extra hits on 6s against non-VEHICLEs and -1AP, and have a flat -2Ld aura. Equally, the flipside of Tesla being unmodded 6s is that you can advance and still proc it now, which could still be useful. I think this will see experimentation it may turn out not to quite work, but this is such an out-there capability that it needs to be properly looked at. Tesla doesnt get as much support as Gauss, but has one exciting trick in Malevolent Arcing. The most important ones are: There are a few others, but theyre condensed enough that well just talk about them when they matter. Im expecting to use the Skorpekh Lord in most of my early lists, as in character throw downs being able to use Whirling Onslaught is just such a huge trump card, especially when combined withEnduring Will. Each named Dynasty also gets a unique stratagem, relic and warlord trait. Once you've read the lore, you can build your army using a vast suite of rules that bring the Necrons to life, with rules for the dynasties (including ones of your own creation! Thrall of the Silent King is also mostly the same as was, but again gets a boost from being purchaseable and there being new options to combine with it, most notably theCanoptek Control Node on the Technomancer. The magnificent aerial command unit also has a Tesla cannons trapped underneath, so is a good unit to proc Malevolent Arcing. A common critique of these has been that its basically a case of trying to find the best way of piling mortals onto your target, and thats ultimately still true.

All of these are quite powerful, and depending on where the metagame ends up around secondaries there could plausibly be a place for this. TheDoomsday Ark gets switched over to the new quantum rules and gets a 10pt increase, and Im not hugely sure how to feel about it at this point. Thats true whether you like pretty books or exciting rules while the total page count of the 8th and 9th Edition Codexes is the same, there are 30 more pages that have rules content on them this time around. These explicitly arent relics, but have some of the same limits each character can only take one, Named Characters cant have them and each option can only be included in an army once. His ability to seize control of an enemy VEHICLES gun has also changed to a roll against Ld rather than a flat 4+, on 3d6 most of the time and 2d6 against TITANIC. I could imagine using this on a Skorpekh lord who Ive also tanked up withEnduring Will. Each time you complete this, you get 3VP. All of the Named Characters from the previous edition return, and theres quite a few upgrades. I could be wrong here, as the flexible offense is decent, but I dont expect these to feature in top lists in anywhere near their previous numbers. Any unit with the Command Protocols ability then benefis from that effect while it is within 6 of a Necron CHARACTER. With Reanimation making infantry blocks more attractive again, slapping the abiliy to get them into positionfast at the cost of your first turns shooting, along with making them tougher to take down with heavy fire, is fantastic, and there are plenty of other units that are perfectlyhappy to have a 6++ randomly slapped onto their profile, Destroyers, Scarabs and Tomb Blades coming to mind in particular. PDF download. At 75pts, I think thisll see use as its priced right for a utility tool, but its not quite the instant slam-dunk that, say, the Kelermorph was. The translocation has changed a bit its now optional when you advance to activate it, and when you do it still lets you auto-advance 6 and move through models and terrain while doing so. The Szarekhan dynasty feel like they favour ranged war machines. The existence of this ability also impacts on army design. Confusingly, their warlord trait is somewhat at odds with this, giving +1S and +1A, but their relic and stratagem are more in order, being a boosted relic gauss blaster and a ability to tack some mortal wounds onto a volley of shooting respectively. There is still stuff to like here though, so expect to see them tried. Weve already chatted through the Dynasty traits, so that just leaves the generic ones. Necrons characters in 9th edition During their long slumber, many Necrons went mad - their neural circuits corrupted by the long sleep, entropy slowly ruining them.
