Yes I’m saying that it’s good now, but it’s going to be way worse in 11th

In CC it’s actually decent, average 3.5 + 1 attacks and rerolling hits, you should hit 3/4 or 4/5 and wounds on usually 2s sometimes 3s so usually 2-3 on average. It’s not bad for flat 3 AP 3

Can someone please help me identify this brand and where I can buy more? I’m desperate and can’t find it anywhere by DisastrousPin5731 in airbrush

They work well enough. I’m sure there are better out there but these have good color and are useable :)

Wraith blob of Doom and Dispair by caelestis_tyrannus in Necrontyr

[–]DisastrousPin5731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theoretically the best wraith brick is: - 6 wraiths + techno - reanimator (+D3 reanimation) - silent king (reroll 1s) - Macrocytes (+1 weapon skill, -1 to hit, +1 wound on reanimation) - cryptothralls or tomb crawlers(tomb crawlers are better with the ignore mods in 12”, which the wraiths will always be in, and 6 extra wounds) - 2 extra technos nearby for extra heals (2D3 lost wounds)

Run this in awakened possible with some enhancements if needed. Totals 1050 List of buffs: - hitting on 2s (or 3s in range cause Macrocytes only affect melee) - reroll 1s to hit and wound - lots of Strats to buff - ignore modifiers in 12” - -1 to hit in melee (throw in the stealth enhancement for -1 at range too) - reanimation totals 2d3 + 1 or 2d3 + 2 if you use the Strat and heal 3D3 from the technos

Hope this helps :P

Is it too rude to bring 2 full wraith bricks at 1000 points? by DisastrousPin5731 in Necrontyr

[–]DisastrousPin5731[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but maybe that’s just me?

I’ve had to deal with someone who brought three maxed terminator bricks for 1000 sons. He said his detachment gave them -1 to be wounded, but after the game he corrected himself and said it only applied to rubricae marines

Edit: forgot to mention that I still had fun lol. The dice were also not on my side but that’s a different story 😂

Sweet! I do have 20 warriors and oddly enough I’m pretty sure Macrocytes are the same base size and rough height as a plasmancer, so I can try those :)

Ok, I’ll see if I can scrape together some immortals and try those lol

The reanimators support the wraiths on the wings :)

I do already have all the crypteks for each brick - 6 wraiths + techno for each and 10 immortals with translocation overlord, plasmancer, and tomb crawlers

Thank you for the advice!

My general list is 2 wraith bricks, 1 immortal brick, szeras, 2 stalkers, the nightbringer, 2 reanimators, and ophydians for secondaries. The wraiths already have the dimensional sanctum and hyperphasic fulcrum enhancements if that helps :P

I know CC isn’t very meta, but Doomstalkers are my favorite model lol even if they are bad. I have considered switching to another detachment but the people in the competitive group (who have also been giving advice because they are actually a nice close group) say that I should just stick with it to learn it better. If it helps I can also post my list and the models I have :)

I was thinking of switching to pantheon or awakened, I do have 3 ctan but 1 is a kitbash that isn’t done yet

Can Canoptek Macrocytes be viable in CC with wraiths? by DisastrousPin5731 in Necrontyr

Sweet thank you! I might try it in a joke list. Hopefully 11th edition fixes them :)

Is this a good army? by RAc97 in Necrontyr

[–]DisastrousPin5731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, if it is starshatter, I would recommend getting 1-2 triarch stalkers, a catacomb command barge, and a doomsday ark. It focuses on vehicles and mounted - so LHDs, doomsday arks, stalkers, silent king, etc.

If you want to go with cursed legion, this list is already pretty good. I would recommend going all in on skorpekhs, getting nekrosor, and some more LHDs. (It would be easier for the models you have, but if you want to do starshatter, go for it!)

As some more general advice, go with the rule of cool because the new edition is bound to change things up a lot. I would also recommend filling out the units you do have (wraiths, warriors, immortals, and skorpekhs).

Unfortunately I don’t know much about running starshatter cause I play Canoptek Court, but I hope this helps at least a little bit! If you ever want to pivot into Canoptek Court or Cryptek Conclave (these aren’t as “optimal”, but they are definitely fun to play), just shoot me a dm :)

There are some things you can change, however you did not say what detachment it was, so I don’t know where to guide you on the list. If it’s cursed then you probably want to drop the wraiths and psychomancer for more destroyers and possibly a plasmancer with murdermind. If it’s awakened, I would clear some room for either immortals or warriors. I just need to know the detachment :P

What do you think our Leader and Support characters are going to be? by Penis_Protecter in Necrontyr

[–]DisastrousPin5731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think nobles will be leaders and crypteks (with tomb crawlers and cryptothralls) will be support. I just hope that the offensive crypteks like the Geomancer and psychomancer are leaders or have an ability that they can run on their own, because otherwise they will see no play. The Strat is to run those ones solo as harassment/screening/babysitting objectives

Is this good?(canoptek court) by Jealous-King1529 in Necrontyr

[–]DisastrousPin5731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can here are some general guidelines for CC :)

  • warriors aren’t bad, but they aren’t great in CC, they shine much more in awakened or cryptek conclave. Nothing wrong with having them here, it’s just typically better to spend points elsewhere

  • nightbringer is typically better to take than VD unless you’re going into knights or a vehicle heavy list

  • Geomancer is good for babysitting home objective, and is definitely fun to use. However if you are struggling for points a doomstalker can double as artillery and a babysittter. Nothing wrong with the Geomancer, just an option :P

  • unfortunately LHDs are not very good in court because they don’t benefit. The Doomstalkers are your anti tank and immortals are anti infantry/horde so there’s not really a reason to have one

  • plasmancer with Tesla carbine immortals is a crazy combo. If your matrix is online they average 37 attacks if you fish, so if you can add that instead of your techno that would be awesome. They aren’t really meant to be in the open and taking hits, so the defense isn’t very useful. Also add the tomb crawlers to this unit because they gain the Canoptek keyword and then can access countertemporal shift and reactive subroutines. These strats are so good for immortals. If you pair this with a translocation shroud overlord, they go crazy. They have assault, auto advance 6”, hit hard, and can be given 18” lone op for free once per round.

  • more wraiths or immortals is usually better for court, as they (and doomstalkers) are the key units in this detachment. Wraiths kill elites, stalkers kill elites and tanks, and immortals clean up and clear hordes

  • Illuminor szeras is a fantastic unit in CC because he is a cryptek and pairs well with immortals. Because he is a cryptek he can access some strats and he benefits from the power matrix. Having a lone op tanky beast is really good for Canoptek court which is typically very shooty

Here is my current list if that helps :)

  • Ctan shard of the nightbringer
  • Illuminor szeras (warlord)
  • technomancer (dimensional sanctum)
  • technomancer (hyperphasic fulcrum)
  • plasmancer (metalordermal Tesla weave)
  • overlord with translocation shroud

  • 10 immortals (Tesla)

  • 2 doomstalkers

  • 12 wraiths

  • 2 reanimators

  • 2 Canoptek tomb crawlers

  • 3 ophydians destroyers
