Each one of these is also coming with a pretty nasty short-range gun that is oddly…only S4 but doing -3AP 3 Damage. Are we done? We are not. Lokhust and Skorpekh Destroyers both have a Lord that can join them, and surprisingly/depressingly (give the Skorph has also been on Wings’ shelf all of 9th) the Lokhust is the more serious contender here. They’re reasonably tough, bring a Resurrection Orb to the party, and provide their unit with Critical Hits on a 5+, which is ultra-great on Lethal Hitting gauss cannons now they’ve been demoted to S5. They are also an important carrier for Enhancements to make that unit really sing, especially the Veil of Darkness. Looking surprisingly like a staple, so pro-tip from me (Wings) – you can trivially convert one with a Lokhust and parts from the Lychguard/Triarch kit. You’ll be seeing mine in Tacoma. Overall, with a random D6 shot output and only hitting on a 4+, you’ll most definitely want to bring more than one of these to get the most value out of your points. Definitely a sweet model though. As is common with flayed ones who like to destroy all organic life, they get bonuses to non-vehicles. All unmodified 6s to hit against non-vehicles grant an extra hit! When all a model does is slap in melee, this may come up more than you think.

Warhammer Community: Warhammer 40,000 Preview – Beyond the Box (13/06/2020) (Last accessed on 13 June 2020) Units that disembark from a TRANSPORT model that made a Normal move this phase count as having made a Normal move themselves; they cannot move further during this phase. Such a unit also cannot declare a charge in the same turn, but can otherwise act normally in the remainder of the turn. Depth! There. Are. Options. If you wanted to compete with Necrons in 8th at all you basically had one core to build around. That’s no longer the case, with valid routes to horde, ranged or melee strategies. Cryptothralls are the protective big brothers of our Crypteks. They can join a unit as a Cryptek Retinue. At the start of the declare battle formations step, the Cryptothralls can join one other unit from that army that is being led by a Cryptek infantry model. If you decide to do this until the end of the battle, every model in this unit counts as being part of that original bodyguard unit, and the bodyguard unit’s starting strength is increased accordingly. What this means essentially, is the Cryptothralls are now bullet catchers for the unit, and boy what amazing bullet catchers are they. They are now T4 with two wounds, a 3+ save, and a 4+ feel no pain. What this does is provide your unit with some guys who are able to catch mortal wounds, as well as if they are part of the same unit as a Cryptek model, they also give that model a 4+ feel no pain as well. This helps protect your Plasmancer from those pesky snipers floating around. They are alright in close combat, but their main use will be to soak up as much as possible and then to reanimate, so they can do it all over again. In your own Shooting Phase, your tool for making things turbo-dead is Protocol of the Conquering Tyrant, giving you full wound re-rolls within half range for 1CP, or full range if you have a Leader. Six Lokhusts with a Lokhust Lord feels like a very good play in this index, and this is a major contributor. If you need to get into range to do that, Protocol of the Sudden Storm is the play, giving your unit’s weapons Assault, and letting them re-roll Advance rolls if they have a Leader. One of the few things that’s a downgrade for Necrons is that a few units are a little slower now (and have to abide by the new FLY rules), so this can be helpful for extra reach. If you instead want to kill something in the Fight Phase, use Protocol of the Hungry Void, giving +1 to S, and also improving AP by one if you have a Leader. It’s a mark of how good that these stratagems are that this might be the least flashy, but it’s still super good in the right situation, especially with reduced AP across the board.Imotekh gives you an extra CP each turn and has decent shooting and melee, plus a once-per-game Mortal AoE. He doesn’t buff his unit at all though, which feels like it might pull counter to what the army is trying to do. On the flip side, he’ll also have 16 wounds which means that players can start shooting away at him as soon as the game starts. The Void Dragon

You then reduce the number of dice in that pool by a number equal to the Wounds characteristic of the Reanimated model and repeat this process until either there are no more reassembling models, or the number of dice remaining in the pool is less than the Wounds characteristic of any of the reassembling models. Any models that did not Reanimate fail to reassemble, and any dice remaining in the pool are discarded. This techno-monstrosity is a shard from the most formidable of the already cosmically powerful C’tan, the Void Dragon. We’ll be learning more about what it can do with all of that green lightning in the near future, so stay tuned. Example: Matts army is led by an Overlord (a NECRONS CHARACTER), and every model in it is from the same dynasty, therefore he must assign command protocols. He selects the following, writing them down on his army roster:Mobility is lower: The one sad point – everything is just that little bit slower, so you need to be careful to either plan ahead or include buffs to counter it.
