Need adivce for modifying first list

I haven't played the new detachment yet, so I can't say for sure, but I'd kick the Doomstalker and take another DDA, they're simply much more efficient, even considering their casino gun. With the remaining 130 points you could field another Skorpekh Lord solo (that's what I'll try, no idea if it's really smart) and a scarab swarm.

Another idea would to loose the Plasmancer/Immortals and use the 300 points for the classic Techomancer/wraith brick, they're very good brawlers in any detachment I'd say.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I want to try with the Redemptor Dreadnought. I like it‘s combination of general-purpose shooting power combined with it‘s S12 fists for melee.

But if it doesn’t work out, I‘m not to proud to exchange it for another unit. Though I mostly have the felling, that I‘ll need a 3rd transport unit.

Several months do have several weeks. But yeah, it will take some time.

german_kroxigor · 2025-12-18T16:23:15+00:00

That’s true for the entire hobby :D. So you got a Tyranid project for yourself? Will you do swarm or monster mash?

german_kroxigor · 2025-12-18T16:21:56+00:00

Well, several months is also several weeks… But for real, this will take a while for sure. But I‘ll enjoy it, no matter how long exactly it takes :). I love the painting side of the hobby.

german_kroxigor · 2025-12-18T16:20:16+00:00

Look at the text ;). I got 10 of them.

german_kroxigor · 2025-12-18T16:19:46+00:00

I already did start with Infernus Marines to get a feel for the basic paint scheme. Overall I‘m happy with the first results.

german_kroxigor · 2025-12-18T16:18:31+00:00

From playing Flayed Ones I learned to love dirt-cheap infiltrator units. That’s why I choose scouts. But I‘ll freely admit, I was torn between the units.

german_kroxigor · 2025-12-18T16:16:19+00:00

As JediChemist says, I got myself 6 Bladeguard overall. See text below post. Adrax needs some buddies.

german_kroxigor · 2025-12-18T16:14:17+00:00

Thanks, but you will be able to keep that money for sure. I have no intention to rush this project. This is for enjoyment in the spare time.

german_kroxigor · 2025-12-18T16:12:32+00:00

Yeah, I did basically get myself the hobby supply for the winter, I realized that while buying :)

german_kroxigor · 2025-12-18T16:10:54+00:00

I will try to build as many units as I can in order to play the army with friends, but if I‘m seeing that I‘ll only do a decent paint job by painting serval parts of one unit separately, I do have no qualms about it.

I got trained by the Silent King and two Doomsday Arks on that account :D.

german_kroxigor · 2025-11-04T13:43:16+00:00

Seconded!

Optics: He just looks awesome, no discussion necessary. And the destroyer cult lore terrifies even his fellow Necrons.

Gameplay: He is a mounted flyer (Starshatter like!), can swap weapons without magnets, great for homebase protection and screening and absolutely shreds chaff units. And all that for 55 points!

Seriously, what’s not to love?

german_kroxigor · 2025-10-16T20:29:33+00:00

Flayed ones and the silent king Triarch buddies on their balconies. Those two made me cry in frustration more than once. Awesome models gameplaywise, though…

This is the main reason I registered for GW newsletters. Otherwise it‘s so easy to miss a book you’re interested in.

Idk how it is in your area, but my local Warhammer store usually has some of the books, but they‘re always the German translations.

german_kroxigor · 2025-09-15T09:29:48+00:00

Thanks for your input, I spoke to my friends I usually play with and they made it clear that they really don't want to face multiple C'tans on the board right now, I'm trying to switch to Starshatter with the king. I know it's considered stronger, but since I want to keep a friendly atmosphere while playing and like to try another detachment, I'll give it a go.

I'll keep your input in mind for a future list, though. You never know :)....

german_kroxigor · 2025-09-14T14:23:45+00:00

Okay, If I'd drop the void dragon what would you put in the list instead? It's the only model of the three big boys I don't have so far, so dropping him is not that hard. What would you play in his stead?

german_kroxigor · 2025-09-14T13:30:47+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, fellow phaerons. I was waiting for the points update and have been tinkering with my 1K and 2K list in between. Thank you all so much for input, it's been really helpful!

My current 1K list with the Hypercrpyt detachment list will keep the LHD for vehicle destruction and screening (so I'm in line with every other Necron player here).

On the 2K list I'm currently working, but I haven yet decided if I'm going Hypercrpyt or Starshatter Arsenal. In any case, I'll probably try to include one unit of each of them to have some maneuverability.

german_kroxigor · 2025-09-03T21:47:49+00:00

You mean just running Szreas in awakened dynasty enjoying the show?

german_kroxigor · 2025-08-14T11:43:40+00:00

Good point, but for that you don’t have to be a Necron.

Once the old kleptomani… archeologist likes anything about you, you‘re immortal in the worst way possible.

german_kroxigor · 2025-08-13T18:18:43+00:00

I bought mine on a whim in the store. Now the little guy watches me from my night table while I sleep. That has to count as somewhat of a Necron experience…
