Necron dreadnought stats

Points 95
Ws 4
Bs 4
S 5
T 5
W 2
I 4
A 3
Ld 10
Sv 2+

Number: 1 - 2 as a heavy support choice
Weapons: slaughter claw and heavy gauss cannon
Options: Necron icon for an extra 40 points (Necron icon counts a resurrection orb and gives models within 12” +1 LD)

Special rules:

Monstrous creature: ignores armour saves and rolls 2d6 for armour penetration against vehicles

Fearless: assumed to pass all morale tests

Necron: follows the Necron special rules

That looks good at first glance, btw if your using it as a dreadnought, I would make it a vehicle, it makes sense if it's an imperial thing converted to necron... mind you the low points and wound cost kind of balance things out so it would work as a creature...

i ws originally gna base it on e dreadnought as a vehicle but its more balanced as a creature and also is easier to compare to other necron units
i tested its ranged against 2 destroyer which would cost 5 points more than it, and it won with 1 wound left
then testing its combat against a wraith and 5 flayed ones (101 points) it lost by 44 points
so overall i think iv got it pretty balanced
i made the icon cost 40 as thats the cost of a res orb n all necrons have v high Ld anyways

Yea sounds good, but remember as a creature we can still SPAWN! It!

lol damn your spawning
wna give my flayed lord tht spell but it wouldnt fit with the army at all

Yea not really.... I can think of some spells you could use for turning vehicles to scarab swarms..... Something like roll 6 D6 and you have to score over the vehicles combined armour values (Side only counts once) This is fair as you cannot just 'SPAWN!' a land raider and the highest value you can get to is about 36

the highest combined non-apocalyse armour is monolith 42
its only a flayed one, would need epic strength to beat an armour round thirty
however its given me an idea
if a vehicle is stunned, immobilised or wrecked then it can use the spawn spell

it has to pass morale test and hitting test as per
then if it glances it turn it into 1 swarm
penetrates, 3 swarms
if its wrecked its armour value should be halved

Fair enough.... you could try that, test it first to see if it works

Yeah, test it a few times, and don't make it ordnance or AP1. Maybe keep it AP6, just so people don't use it on infantry.

Yea that sounds good, make sure you ask if it's ok in friendly games as well ^_^

Yeah, same with all of this. Unless we're all legionnaires.

Indeed, our legion armies are going to be awesome, mine are like iron warrior legionaries ^_^

Mine are Tzeentchite dark Eldar, the Kabal of the Soul Vortex.
