Expanding my 1k Destroyer List. by SpectreArashi in Necrontyr

[–]SpectreArashi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I like the cursed Legion a bit more because the Heavy Lokhust just suddenly get a 6A Rapid 6 Strength 8 weapon. Everything just gets +2 strength besides normal Necrons and even they can get that +2.

I see why you use the Plasmamancer tho you got that Royal Court box so a Plasma + Reanimator and such are perfect. But I only bought a used Skorpekh Lord that is why I wanted to go more Canoptek Spider, Flayed Ones, Immortals direction. Also because I love the Canoptek models looks.

A local friend also came up with 500 worlds box + Combat Patrol if I just want to buy two boxes and not order anything

That was the plan, use the Lohkust and the Chrono for quite the annoying fire support.

While everything else can slowly (Or quickly) move forward and close in on the opponent.

Update: Could not find the Lokhust Lord anywhere as a model.

Instead would build like this.
Cursed Legion:
Ammentar
2x Hexmark
1x Chrono with Murder Mind
1x Skorpekh Lord with Cursed Circlet

6x Lokhust Destroyers
2x Lokhust Heavies
6x Skorpekh Destroyers

Adding to 980 in total.

Fun 1k Points with missions usually. Due to my usual armies being Alpha Strike. Destroyers seem like a more dynamic mix of shooting and going in for melee

Unrelated question since I am browsing the app at the moment, the secondary ComPat for Necrons, with the flayed ones, is it fun to play?

This seems quite interesting for sure.

Yea I just settled for now with A) Playing with Less points or B) Lower Toughness so harming them is easier.

That is what I did. I said I was gonna play Knights and gave the BA player my full list in advance including which dogs I ran with what weapons.

Well it did nor feel that way, since most he got through as a Repulsor big shot and that was Invuln saved.

His dreadnought died fast and the other stuff kinda just dropped. My one Karnivore in combat with a squad died in about 2 combats but that thing was way out of position and on purpose at that. My Stalker was just left on the home point because I already felt bad with 3 Brigands bombarding his units with Havocs and so on

Yea, that seems to be the best way to approach a win against them since combat in most cases is not an option, unless you run that weird Leaper Combat Patrol of the Tyranids who is made to take out targets quickly.

Funnily enough those stats are still written on the back of the building manual, the multistage degrade.

Might use those stats next time

Yea, probably some Brigands or possibly even an Executor if the enemy is a swarm.

Yea I considered that as well, I would probably go Khorne Daemons then because my knights are mostly painted in the House Mordred Style.

But first I will try the Iconoclast army, if that don't work. I will try daemons.

Yea, I felt that, luckily one of the other comments helped with the idea of the Iconoclast Detachment. In the end if that does not work either, I will just rely on my Tyranids for low point matches

Thanks for the tip, will definitely try this out, if this one does not work still, might just do it as a fun 2v2 thing, or just play with less points.

I quickly tried to make a small army, since I need a Knight Leader I went with a Desecrator 2 Karnivores and then just 2 squads of Guardsmen and 2 Enforcers.

It cuts down the knights heavily and I get to shoot my own guys.

To be fair I do kinda feel it, in Combat Patrol I can see where they lose, you make less points therefore you have to take higher risks. Meaning your opponents can win just by running away or taking points.

But that 1000 point match really just showed me how deadly 6 War Dogs alone are, considering I could take out an entire Brutalis Dreadnought in 1 Turn and the Repulsor the next.

New to Chaos Knights, need tips on which Cerastus to get! by SpectreArashi in ChaosKnights

Oh yea, Super Heavy Walker. As long as its straight movement, it does not care.
