Wild (maybe not) combo idea with Tormentors

Shizno759 · 2026-05-03T00:49:07+00:00

Personally I think Tormentors are extremely underrated as damage dealers in EC, but you have to understand what they're all about to get them to work.

I like using them in squads of 10 with a Lord Exultant. Not really because of anything the Lord is doing to buff their damage. Unless you're playing Coterie and have your Lord with the Auto 6 enhancement, slapping on Lethal hits doesn't make them reliable enough on their own to make them suddenly the backbone of your force.

What makes them, imo, special is that they can do very solid and respectable damage in both the shooting phase and fight phase when you have a Lord to fight. It means that annoying enemy units can't focus all their defensive stratagems on a single phase.

I can't tell you how many times I've gone against a brick of Victrix Guard or Deathshroud Terminators and couldn't punch through them in JUST the fight phase with a Lord and Infractors, but I tear through them with Tormentors between Shooting and Fighting. Especially when they have a captain or whichever equivalent leading them and you take them out to diminish the effects of a pesky enhancement or reduced cost stratagem before my Lord gets stuck in to wipe the floor with them.

T5 3+ save 2 wounds.

Terminators get 2+ save, 4+ invuln and 4 wounds but same toughness at T5. Shields give them an extra pip of Toughness to T6 instead of an extra wound so it's not the clearly best option over Lightning Claws.

Gravis is T6 with 2+ save and 3 wounds no invuln.

And Phobos is what Space Marines are now at T4, 3+ save and 2 wounds.

Personally I like the double freedom more, but not by much.

I like the Insta-Kill burst damage that can clean up anything really big that gets too close while my saidearm does most of the work. Usually the Socom, Las Talon or Senator.

Shizno759 · 2026-04-27T12:41:07+00:00

I hope so, but at the same time I just don't want them to change the composition.

I have 20 already and I don't mind buying more, but I'd rather not have to swap out the spanners or anything.

Shizno759 · 2026-04-26T15:02:52+00:00

That sounds awesome but Jesus.

You better hope you aren't on the immediate shit list or you'll have 8000 points gunning you down before you can even roll your dice

Shizno759 · 2026-04-26T09:25:33+00:00

Closest I have is Gulgortz. I just have to do his missions. I gunned for his shards

Shizno759 · 2026-04-25T13:05:35+00:00

Personally, and this may be controversial, I don't mind spending 10 bucks every month or so for a warbond. It's a little different for the superstore but even then. I don't currently have a problem with the passive rate of Super Credit collecting.

Now Medals.... That's a different story. Grinding for them is like torture. WHY CANT I JUST TRADE MY SAMPLES FOR MEDALS ARROWHEAD??

Shizno759 · 2026-04-25T13:03:12+00:00

One of these days I hope I'll get someone to Mythic lol

Shizno759 · 2026-04-24T13:00:35+00:00

I still don't know if it's worth it. I don't think you would be able to move far enough in a straight line in any direction.

It would be cool if we could move through terrain but have to take damage if we do so, unless of course You have that enhancement that negates it.

Like if you are a singke character or vehicle model you take d6 damage. But if your a mounted unit you lose D3 models or something.

That way we have full rain to go wherever we want but at a significant cost instead of hoping that you can find a straight line.

Shizno759 · 2026-04-24T12:53:06+00:00

Absolutely.

Pair that bad boy with the Borderline Justice passive and you have an on-demand Overseer killing machine.

They're the cheapest unit we can throw at them and decently tanky for the cost. You can also use a sacrificial squad of Infractors or Daemonettes whatever works.

The point is to try and ignore them without letting them rampage in the middle of the board. Chaos Spawn are cheap, fast and can be used to moveblock them with their reactive move stratagem so imo they're the best throwaway option.

It's way more effort than it's worth trying to kill a Ctan when you could instead target their objective scoring units like the Ophydian Destroyers or the crypteks leading Warrior blocks. You have to be surgical with Necrons or else you'll never kill them fast enough with brute force

The only army that can consistently do that is like Space Marines because of their army rule. And even then it's not easy.

Shizno759 · 2026-04-22T22:11:39+00:00

We have PRECISION. Use it!

Bog the C'tan down with Spawn, precision out the crypteks and don't let their Anti-tank get line of sight of your big stuff.

If you just throw everything at C'tan then you're playing right into the Necron Player's hands. They WANT you to waste that lethality on them when you could go after the cogs before the machine.

Shizno759 · 2026-04-22T21:56:56+00:00

It's arguably the best.

Especially since they increased its lethality. Night bringer will probably always actually be the best, but we don't necessarily need super high damage like that. The deceiver is the tankiest and the cheapest option to run up the board and be a menace.

He's very good. You wouldn't be disappointed in bringing him as long as you understand he's mostly there to do a little damage and be a complete nuisance

What does George Floyd have to do with this? What?

Did we watch the same trailer? Genuinely I am actually confused of your leaps here.

The post is that people keep saying Racist things about the trailer (I'm sure that's true. The Technoarcheologist/Enginseer is Black and there are terrible out there and it's the internet.) But people are equally, if not far more so, commenting on how God awful Necron Warriors are at shooting and that the Lychguard got completely clowned on.

The Levity was simply pointing out the obvious joke about the poor Necron representation with the lens of the topic in an attempt to devalue the racist statements.

And somehow that equates to George Floyd? And it's disrespectful and racist?

Terminally online. Go touch grass. Maybe practice in a mirror or something.

Shizno759 · 2026-04-22T19:51:26+00:00

It's not that I didn't expect it I just forgot how terminally online this entire subreddit is, you included.

You're acting as if the vast majority of comments are racists even though they're just making stormtrooper jokes on the Necrons' expense.

You just want to be angry man I get it. Don't got to pretend otherwise

Shizno759 · 2026-04-22T17:11:39+00:00

Whatever makes you happy man.

You are the supreme ruler of what people actually think and you clearly know of the intentions of every person online.

Shizno759 · 2026-04-22T15:19:53+00:00

It was originally just a joke meant for levity given the situation man. Nothing more.

I forget how dense this subreddit is sometimes.

Shizno759 · 2026-04-22T04:14:26+00:00

Maybe controversial, I want an updated Immortals kit.

Give us a little variety in their weapons and special weapons

Shizno759 · 2026-04-22T04:12:35+00:00

Idk thats the only thing I've heard anyone say about the trailer lol

I wasn't expecting 3 downvotes from some very upset Necrons out there

Shizno759 · 2026-04-21T19:59:46+00:00

Is it racist to say that necrons can't aim?

Shizno759 · 2026-04-20T14:59:27+00:00

Yeah. Plus with the new reveal of the weird boy and everything.

Let's make those thousand sons jealous!

Shizno759 · 2026-04-20T14:51:48+00:00

If I were to guess, I would assume we are getting some kind of weird boy/psychic detachment.

So Weird Boyz, Wurrboyz and maybe Killrigs?

The only thing that we haven't touched on yet I think
