#ghost ark

Necrons

I have constructed this kit so that it can be a ghost ark or a doomsday ark.

I learned a lot!

It's functional! I'm calling it a success.

Also, I figured out that you can color rare earth magnets with an ordinary sharpie,making the process a lot easier.

The trusty warriors of the Necron dynasty have been roaming the stars and our battles for many years. In this edition I have come across a few helpful ideas for newer players of Necron.

 Large squad sizes:

Don’t be too nervous about the Morale phase for these guys, they (like nearly all of the Necron) have a leadership value of 10. Which means that they will start losing models from Morale when they have lost 5 or more models in the unit. If you want to get some more help with that, have a cheap Necron Lord within 6 and it will allow re-rolls to failed morale checks.

 Resurrection:

This is the foundation of the Necron, being able to repair yourself. So just quickly the Reanimation Protocols are rolled at the beginning of the Necron turn. Roll a D6 for each model that has been slain (do not include ones that fled from morale) and on a 5+ return a model to that unit. This cannot be done is a unit is wiped out, but I have found the Necron Warriors are persistent and refuse to die when placed in the right places.

A Cryptek will add one to the dice rolls for Reanimation within 3 inches of it.

A Ressurection orb is a single use item, which allows for a second round of reanimation on a single unit within 3 inches.

If embarked onto a Ghost Ark they can still attempt to reanimate, which means you can use a Ghost Ark as a getaway car/ ambulance for the Warriors.

A Ghost Ark can also chose a Warrior unit within 3 inches at the end of the Movement phase and allow them another attempt at reanimating.

 Shooting Phase:

Gauss Flayers: Range 24, S4, AP-1, D1. This weapon looks fairly basic, but that AP value of -1 on a basic infantry squad like Warriors is very useful. To give some reference, a Primaris Intercessor has a Bolt rifle with the same profile as a Necron Warrior, but is also 8pts more expensive per man than the Necron. For a simple unit the Necron Warriors are a reliable source of mid-range guns.
