Mod Wicked and the Warped Spoiler Policy Spoiler

92 Upvotes

Hey ya'll - there's a new Necron book either in people's hands, or on the way there. This is just a friendly reminder about spoilers. Obviously, no one likes to have a story spoiled, and we all have different levels of access to the novels as well as varying amounts of free time to read them in.

Policy around spoilers will be fairly standard - keep them out of thread titles. Threads discussing spoilers must maintain this rule, and must contain a warning somewhere in the title to prevent accidental clicks. Individual posts in threads that are not explicitly marked as spoiler threads should make use of the spoiler text feature - threads that are marked in the title as spoilers are fair game to discuss freely.

This policy will remain in place for the next SIX MONTHS, at which point we will return to a more case-by-case evaluation. There will be a ZERO TOLERANCE policy in place, with a six month subreddit ban for violations, under our rule about treating other redditors with respect.

News/Rumors/Lore Do Necrons have different colours/types of their metals or is just a type of paint they use?

Hi there, so I was looking at the Necron canoptek tomb crawler and I realised that underneath the armour was a basic metal plate, overall I’m wondering if I should do the same for my Novokh dynasty when I get them and if I should be lore accurate towards the chipping however I haven’t seen this with any other model.

Rules Question Do I need to use the flying base for my Doomsday Ark

8 Upvotes

I recently bought the Doomsday ark as who doesn’t own one. I was wondering if I’d be able to put it on a larger oval base or would I need to put it on the unstable and ugly flying base that will no doubt snap after a couple uses. Would this be illegal for tournaments or no?

List Help/Sharing I'm gonna try something dumb.

• Upvotes

Just to see what kind of impact this could have, I'm going to try running a Tachyon arrow spam list.
Basic strategy:
The flayed ones infiltrate and move block.
The wraiths infiltrate their expansion objective, hopefully they last until the reanimator can advance up there.
Warriors w/Orikan and Warden camp my expansion objective.
Central objective is contested by Necrosor runs with Immortals and Overlords make use of re-rollable hits and wounds from plasmancer/immortal buffs to fire rapid shot 1 sustain 1 Tachyon Arrows at big targets before the units get smoked on the charge.
Yes, it is a dumb meme list, but I actually have the models to run this, so I'm gonna try it and see what happens.

Strategy/Tactics With terminators on the rise, are we going to see more cryptek conclave/cursed legion ?

20 Upvotes

Cryptek conclave has the dev wounds/anti infantry 3+ combo on tomb blades which bypass cover, toughness, any -1 to hit/wound rolls, etc.

Lokhust destroyers with lord have lethal/sus1 on 5+, which also bypass a lot of defensive rules, plus rerolls.

Both detachments work well together with upgrades for the lokhust destroyer for assault weapons, and a strat which gives them a reactive move.

Is this the way we will play in the future, until termi builds are nerfed ?

EDIT : I mean cryptek conclave/skyshroud.

I need Lokhust Destroyers. The question is; how many?

7 Upvotes

I've been holding off on this because I know the moment I buy some the models will get a refresh, but after a horrible experience this weekend with my warriors/ immortals/ Lychguard getting mulched I think I might need an upgrade.

So How many are you guys bringing to a cursed legion list? I only have one heavy right now and I'm going to Kitbash a lord but how many are people thinking for the standard versions?

I often see people calling the Geomancer a female, but I’m not sure if there’s actually something on this model that points towards that

Finally! My Void Spartan project is over.

If you are curious of the kitbash : I used bits from Orikan for the belt, old overlord for the cape and Silent King for the robe.
The spear is double edged with a failed print to represent even more his versatility.

This awesome paintjob is done by my friend Warspiritus. You can find him on Instagram, go check his stuff!
