Flayed Ones can give themselves -1 to hit in any phase, but the really exciting one here isWhirling Onslaught. Theyre there as promised. Immortals are probably still OK, but a bit pricy. Thats all that really needs to be said about that, and Dimensional Translocation is just a consolidation of a bunch of effects that would otherwise have been printed on lots of sheets, so again we dont need to go deep on it. While the release of Codex T'au the year before gave the setting a dose of bright optimism, Codex: Necrons gave us all a new thing to fear.

Now, having slumbered in stasis for millennia, they are rising up to conquer it again. Mostly returning friends here. 152. Disruption Fields (+1S) is now CORE only, meaning its most likely to see use by Novokh to let big warrior blocks punch above their weight by adding +1A as well. Its not quite clear if you have to pay the CP for the latter, but either way this is absolutely fantastic, letting you adapt to the crucial roll-off as needed. They gain theextremely eye-catching ability of army-wide ObSec (models that have it already count as 2), and ignore an AP of -1 while wholly within their deployment zone. Theyre still toting around a relatively scary relic gauss blaster, and can still allow a CORE unit to fall back and shoot once per turn. 7TH EDITION NECRON CODEX PDF - Necrons stay as a solid alternative to Space Marines as a beginner's army while compared to the other 2 Xeno codices (Orks and Dark Eldar) in 7th Edition.

Your core forces are extremely durable, while your specialist units are exceedingly effective when deployed in the right situations. Overlord & Royal Warden.

They get Relentless Marchas well, and can bring aResurrection Orb, but at 70pts theyre a tough sell for one of your limited HQ slots. Im only partially joking here you still have 900pts to play with afterwards, and being mown down by three furious, hungry, ObSec boxes (with huge amounts of anti-infantry shooting attached) is something some armies are actually just dead to. Necron Cryptothralls. Tesla in general takes a bit of a knock in this book compared to 8th, but if theres a place for using lots of it Mephrit is going to be it.
