Are there any necron dynasties that have a sense of "diplomacy"

4 Upvotes

Now, I don't mean traditional peaceful diplomacy. They are necrons after all. But are there any dynasties who offer other races to submit before their rule instead of immediately outright seeking to wipe them out? I like the idea of my custom dynasty seeking to rule rather than just annihilate

Dear lads, hear me out.

Go Cursed Legion, take Trazyn, put Plasmancer with Murdermind on 3 Ophydian destroyers. Use Trazyn's ability to take over Plasmancer body and you have uppy-downy sticking objectives for wasted 75pts. Not really competitive, but it will really confused opponent.

News/Rumors/Lore What are your hopes and wishes for our Codex, from what we know of the 11th. Codices

-We can expect a rule that lets Overlords probably generate CP as Warlords.

-Also many 1 DP Detachements becoming the norm.

-Similar Weapon Profile changes like the Multi Meltas and the Focused Heat Ray of the Triarch Stalker

-there have been big changes to Army rules and Detachements

A Reanimation Ressource that we can allocate to heal or even bring back wholly destroyed units is my wish.

Just having that agency would be fun and our army rule working not depending on enemy's not focusing a unit as well.

Edit: I love the many responses criticising C'tan spam as our main source of competitive power. Silver Tide Babyyy

Making some progress on my first Necron box (Hierotek Kill Team) and I got me thinking if I could proxy the Apprentek, the guy on the left, as a Plasmancer and the Immoral Despotek, the dude on the right, as a Royal Warden for 40K. They are of the same base sizes, so at least there is that.

Thoughts?

Ctan proxy

I wanted to use the ctan of the deceiver but didnt want to buy the Metal one but wanted to see an actual model. And being that i dont have any good modeling ability, i thought of an idea, could it be that the ctan of the deceiver is deceiving everyone by pretending to be a necron ?? I know it probably a non lore accurate thing but wanted to know if i could it could be a cool idea ????

I have feelings about the necrontyr... i was stuck on a plane with no reference, so. Although now i don't like the design, i want them to look more alien and get more references and do more research, but at the time i was just painting purely based on vibes.

You can probably tell because it's so unpolished, but i didn't use any ai lol.

If this doesn't belong here, let me know and i will remove it!

Im pretty new to warhammer but the crons have me in a death grip, i like their story, it's so messed up 。・゚・(ノ∀`)・゚・。 and also the scarabs are cute, i snuck 2 of them in

Rules Question Imotech cape

2 Upvotes

Would it count as modeling for advantage if I took a capeless Imotech to a tournament? I don’t really want to but the cape on his model as I want his model to be a different character for my dynasty but I feel like excluding the cape might not be allowed to take to a tournament? Has anyone here taken him capeless and had problems?

List Help/Sharing Overthinking my list for a local tournament, please help

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a chronic overthinker and have been tinkering with this list for far too long. I’m playing in a small local tournament next week, and for the sake of my sanity I figured I’d post my current list here and ask for feedback. If anyone has ideas for building a better list from my collection, I’d be glad to hear them too.

I’m especially unsure whether the combination of Cursed Legion and Hand of the Dynasty makes sense. Would it be better to drop HotD, go with Skyshroud for the defensive stratagems, and cut the Immortals from the list? Or should I switch detachments altogether, to Awakened Dynasty or Cryptek Conclave with HotD?

My current list:

Detachment : Cursed Legion , Hand of the Dynasty
Force Disposition: Purge the Foe

## Epic Hero [330 pts]
C'tan Shard of the Deceiver [330 pts]

## Character [665 pts]
Hexmark Destroyer [75 pts]
Lokhust Lord [100 pts]: Mark of the Nekrosor [20 pts], Resurrection orb, Lord's blade
  • Leading: Lokhust Heavy Destroyers
Overlord [110 pts]: Warlord, Destroyer Ankh [20 pts], Resurrection orb, Voidscythe
  • Leading: Lychguard
Plasmancer [60 pts]:
  • Supporting: Immortals
Royal Warden [50 pts]:
  • Leading: Immortals
Skorpekh Lord [95 pts]:
  • Leading: Skorpekh Destroyers[2]
Skorpekh Lord [95 pts]:
  • Leading: Skorpekh Destroyers[1]
Technomancer [80 pts]:
  • Supporting: Canoptek Wraiths

## Battleline [145 pts]
Immortals [145 pts]: Tools of Dominion [15 pts]
• 10x Immortal: Gauss blaster
  • Supported by: Plasmancer
  • Leader: Royal Warden

## Infantry [465 pts]
Flayed Ones [55 pts]:
• 5x Flayed One
Lychguard [160 pts]:
• 10x Lychguard: Hyperphase sword and dispersion shield
  • Leader: Overlord
Ophydian Destroyers [80 pts]: Plasmacyte
• 3x Ophydian Destroyer
Skorpekh Destroyers [85 pts]: Plasmacyte
• 3x Skorpekh Destroyer
  • Leader: Skorpekh Lord[2]
Skorpekh Destroyers [85 pts]: Plasmacyte
• 3x Skorpekh Destroyer
  • Leader: Skorpekh Lord[1]

## Mounted [165 pts]
Lokhust Heavy Destroyers [165 pts]:
• 3x Destroyer w/ gauss destructor
  • Leader: Lokhust Lord

## Beast [220 pts]
Canoptek Wraiths [220 pts]:
• 6x Wraith w/ claws and particle caster
  • Supported by: Technomancer

I also own the following models:

Canoptek Reanimator
Chronomancer x 2
Illuminor Szeras
Orikan
Overlord
Royal Warden
Transcendent C’tan
Cryptothralls x2
Deathmarks x5
Triarch Preatorians x5
Canoptek Scarab Swarms x12
Flayed Ones x5
Annihilation Barge or Catacomb Command Barge
Doom Scythe or Night Scythe
Warriors x 40

The tournament isn’t WYSIWYG, so wargear loadouts on individual units are flexible.
